Tart is great! This is probably the best thing available for now, though it runs into some limitations that Apple imposes for VMs. (Those limitations perhaps hint at why Apple hasn't implemented this-- it seems they don't really want people to be able to rent out many slices of Macs.
One clever and cool thing Tart actually does that sort of relates to this discussion is that it uses the OCI format for distributing OS images!
(It's also worth noting that Tart is proprietary. Some users might prefer something that's either open-source, built-in, or both.)
I tend to copy Markdown content from other sources into Apple Notes. Being able to paste into Notes and have it format in the view is a big win.
It is possible reporting is getting this wrong and the Markdown feature and it is just to serve use case above. As an example, Google Docs recently enabled "Paste from Markdown" that also is a huge convenience.
Yeah, this would be huge for me; I often toss a bunch of notes into an Apple Notepad note just to have it in my pocket, and everything I write with a keyboard is markdown.
This just makes it so I don't have to stare at a bunch of random characters and can have actual formatting. A win in my book!
JetBrains already announced it is no longer targeting Fleet as its iOS strategy for Kotlin Multiplatform. Instead it will be realizing its strategy through IntelliJ IDEA and Android Studio.
In the past, Qualcomm was infamous for high licensing fees.
However, part of the process of creating an open industry standard like 4G/5G is getting a legally binding commitment from the patent holders to license standards essential patents to all takers on "reasonable" terms.
> If the patent holder refuses upon request to license a patent that has become essential to a standard, then the standard-setting organization must exclude that technology.
I imagine the 2G network they are talking about is GSM, which is a 2G open standard created in the EU and used internationally.
> It was first implemented in Finland in December 1991. By the mid-2010s, it became a global standard for mobile communications achieving over 90% market share, and operating in over 193 countries and territories.
Slack seems to be walking back their mistake 10 years ago of requiring independent logins for each workspace.
In slacks new product vision, you don’t sign into multiple workspaces, you sign into your “home” workspace and get invited via Slack Connect to other workspaces.
This seems to be reinforced by collapsing the workspace picker and making unreads in other workspaces less obvious.
Was it a mistake though? Independent logins are great for separation in a professional context. I don’t ever want my work workspace, vendor workspaces and personal ones intermixing.
Managing them in a single app was fine because it kept them distinct. Their new vision is directly at odds with real world professional use
I agree at the time it wasn’t a mistake. It allowed for vast adoption with Slack needing to implement the complexities of a single login accessing (for me) about a dozen workspaces.
But from a revenue perspective in 2023, it is a mistake. Of your list, which of work, vendor, and personal likely is a paid account? I’d argue in 2023 they only care about work and vendor and that is what they are optimizing their experience for at present. Now that adoption has saturated and the curve has flattened, the strategy of personal or even open source workspaces has served its purpose.
In short, now that they’ve got their hooks in, I’m sure they’d be happy for the personal workspaces go elsewhere, leaving just the paying professional context, and single login login, interacting with vendor/partner contexts.
It allows you to easily install and maintain several versions of Xcode (beta / RC versions).
And, more importantly, uses aria2 for HTTP download, which has resumability.
