putting a build on your own apple watch is horrific.
it constantly disconnects, requires restarts and other nonsense techniques. i legit do not know how you can not be running into these problems if you are developing on those platforms.
we saw this exact playbook with ios 7. i don't think you need to attribute malice or read into it much.
ios 7 relied heavily on blurring effects-- a flex at the time due to the efficient graphic pipeline vs android they had. this was coming off the heels of Samsung xerox'ing and they wanted a design that would be too expensive for competitors to emulate without expensive battery hit. liquid glass is following in this tradition.
and similarly to ios 7, the move to flat design was predicated on the introduction of new form factors and screen. flat design lent itself well to new incoming screen sizes and ratios. prior there was really one or two sizes and that was it, easy to target pixel perfect designs against. as apple moves to foldables and more, this design flexibility is once again required.
as for no one trying to emulate it, i'm not so sure, OriginOS 6 ripped it off back in October.
Depending on the metric (e.g. MAU, DAU, web impressions etc) X is generally down about 3-20% since Elon's takeover. Seems fair to say X is a 'break even' investment at best.
It will be extremely interesting to re-visit this thread in 10 years. X is currently a gateway for promoting Grok (with 11-figure DAU potential), and X is acquiring financial licences in US states, with a view to becoming an 'everything app' (something which the East seems to have - in the forms of wechat, Grab - but the West weirdly doesn't). If X can be the West's first 'everything app'.. trillion+ dollar valuation isn't out of the question.
I have about 3200 hours in EU4, a ten year old game. But I also have $400 in its DLC (all of them).
But the thought of paying $30/mo to play a game is just too much. I only buy 2-3 games+DLCs per year. Game Pass was fine when it was $5/mo, I could leave it on in the background and not care if it wasn't utilized.
You don't have a right to say who or what can read your public website (this is a normative statement). You do have a right not to be DoS'd. If you pretend not to know what that means, it sounds the same as saying "you have an arbitrary right to decide who gets to make requests to your service", but it does not mean that.
it always annoys me how much will larsen is looked up to as a progressjve technical thought leader but carta is consistently just borderline antagonistic to its own user base.
| How many Flutter developers exist in the world, today? My guess is that it's on the order of 1,000,000 developers. The real number is probably higher, but one million should be reasonably conservative.
one million flutter developers? that does not make sense to me at all (by orders of magnitude). does anyone know any metric to validate this? i am shocked if it's true.
from the outside looking in the time and space vercel have dedicated to their v0 product feels like a leadership team bored (or worse) with their main product offering.
it seems as if a company enthralled by AI fever at the very top of leadership, preferring hacking into some new dubious tangential product offerings than circling the wagons and fortifying their core proposition.
