It wouldn't surprise me if the device gets a new name in the upcoming Apple event.
Like it becomes rebranded as a type of HomePod. Or something like Apple TV Hub.
To me, this is a signal they are moving away from the app's attempt at trying to be where folks go for ALL the streaming apps. It's more a recognition that MOST (not all) people prefer to go to Netflix for Netflix content, for Disney+ for Disney content, etc. They weren't able to pull off being a competitor and also the neutral place for everything, which is maybe good. I'm expecting a redesign.
Honestly, Jony Ive/Steve Jobs minimalism is as much as a bust as it is a boon. It sort of becomes this unquestionable corporate religion and corporate terror.
Imagine being able to speak this truth to power at Apple. I imagine its just easier to let everyone do the weird minimalist thing, make confusing names like this, and let support handle the angry and confused phone calls. The C-suite keeps the "Of course we kept true to Steven's vision," PR thing, but imho, the product suffers.
I really would love it if Apple went more towards the middle, at least on naming products. What Macbook do you have? Who knows! Even putting the model number on it seems like an affront to this aesthetic and people have to literally either squint or zoom in using their phone's camera to be able to read the tiny text printed on these devices.
It sometimes feels like Apple went from minimalism inspired industry leader to a weird cargo cult-esque over-correction.
Having a templating system in ‘that environment’ is worth its weight in gold IMO. I’ve been switching between Svelte and Django templates a lot lately, and Svelte just…knowing about the DOM, makes the experience so much nicer. I haven’t come across a non-JS template system that does this. And yes, I was there for PHP and jQuery and whatever.
A combination of the devil you know and Stockholm Syndrome.
It was better in many ways than the dominant techniques in 2013, sure, but that's not a terribly high bar, especially when observing the React model a decade later.
React served well enough for quick starts. It proved… challenging… for ongoing maintenance and quality control in long-lived projects.
Because it's nicer than most other templating systems, and when you want to add interactivity, it's nice to have everything in one language and paradigm. Plus, static typing support.
Yup! That is one possibility. We offer an API so you can query all the available objects inside a user's Salesforce account, and from there you can have the user select what specific objects are relevant, and those will be pulled through.
Now, just like every other conspiracy nut, I'd like to state upfront that I'm no conspiracy theorist. However, over the years "seeing black helicopters" has been an insult used by some. Yet I used to see them parked out in the open at the National Guard base along I-70 in eastern Indiana like 25-30 years ago. And here we have photos published by not-disreputable source. Make of it what you will.
I think it's pretty clear they are saying people would say you're a nutter for saying unmarked helicopters are used by government agencies yet he knew them to exist even back then. Not sure where you picked up that they were the same exact helicopters.
We used third-party services to generate that, and that's why we redirect. We are looking to migrate that to our end in the future. Thanks for the question!
