This seems exaggerated. I recently moved to iOS 26 from iOS 16. They work exactly the same in my experience.

Except for the fact that you can’t scrub on the native video player by swiping anywhere, you now have to use the time-bar. Drives me nuts.

Reminds me of my first websites. I had a book with HTML tags and I tried to add a form with a submit button. It didn’t work, I had no backend, I don’t think I had a concept of what a backend was at that point. I’m not even sure what I expected to happen with that form.

I use this one as well. It took me a few moments to learn it, but it almost instantly became muscle memory.

I just tried to do the old fashioned knot, it might be the first time I've tied it in two decades.

I’m going the opposite way. I had a smaller keyboard (60% maybe) but I got one with the F-keys recently. Because I can assign one or more macros to each dedicated button.

I am considering a second keyboard exclusively to be a macro pad, but my KVM setup is already at its limits.

Thank you!

I’ve used SourceTree for a decade, Fork is the only one I’ve switched to partially (at work).

I probably will switch back to ST even at work because I dislike:

- I want the split view of ST where I can simply see the changes and not lose the commit log.

- “see only current branch” is super useful in ST to see only the current branch’s commit log.

(Partially writing this in hopes of someone pointing out ways to do this in Fork)

I don't think the business events is realistic. It would have to be huge, generic, and have a huge amount of people be very specific with their wants-and-needs, on top of the technical issues I brought up earlier.

Speed dating is called speed dating for a reason, you're supposed to be forced to meet everyone. Probably takes more time to setup yet another dating profile than it takes to simply go through the process.

From what I read on 222, their entire purpose is to get away from algorithms, apps, and whatnot.

Timeleft has, according to their landing page, six people per activity.

I don't mean to discourage, by the way. It's neat tech, I personally just don't see where it could best be used.

EDIT: I could see speed dating have some sort of "prompt" build on top of this. Say the app is rebranded to "SpeedDater" and the organizers said to download it. Then while in the event itself, the apps could give prompts or fun stuff to talk about in realtime, and then later you could eg. say yes/no after the fact, at which point the matches are unlocked. Not sure this requires the local-thing though.

To properly make this work you need to download the app, enter a bunch of information, go to settings to disable sleep mode, not touch your phone and also not have it accidentally swipe away from the app.

Seems like the (only?) target audience for this would hardcode networkers going to network events. And honestly, I think people who go to a event like this don't have this problem of missing a connection they wanted.

Why would people who want to hack not have iPhones?

I grew up with VHS tapes on CRT screens. It was totally fine, I watched more movies back then than I do today.

Does filling the entire landing page with only "punchy" sentences actually work? It feels like I am reading a trailer.

I have had a handful of people request additional licenses (at a discount) for the purpose of running my software on multiple.
