Sounds like a junior reporter trying to hit a word count.

Most people's reaction to the iOS 7 design disaster was: "ooh this feels like a whole new phone".

So there's that.

Apple lost the plot on design after Steve Jobs died and Jony Ive assumed full control.

It's not Jony Ive's fault. That's the nature of their partnership, he created and Steve Jobs edited. Ive, of all people, probably lost the most when Steve Jobs died.

It's all been downhill ever since. Ousting Jony Ive and putting Alan Dye in charge didn't help.

The problem remains: there's no longer an editor in charge.

Apple fans like to think that they've recovered a little since the iOS 7 debacle, but in reality it's just self delusion.

My understanding is that Gemini clients don't display inline media in order to defeat privacy-compromising techniques such as tracking pixels. A Gemini client could very reasonably decide to show images inline if they are larger than 16x16 for instance.

Here are some of my favorites:

union

funi

funion

fution (sounds like fussion)

fu

fuc

fucton (as noted by a fellow commenter)

> To declare a function, you can use any letters from the word function (as long as they're in order):

> function add (a, b) => a + b!

> func multiply (a, b) => a * b!

> fun subtract (a, b) => a - b!

> fn divide (a, b) => a / b!

> functi power (a, b) => a * b!

This is pretty ironic in a thread about the misuse of the term "caramelize".

It's not steaming if you put water into the food directly. It's simply ... cooking, or maybe simmering/stewing.

But I see GP's usage of "to no end" a lot.

Yes it is about 'looking and pushing' the button.

And yes it's about stateful UI.

Both can be true at the same time.

Thankfully the industry has mostly woken up from the collective nightmare that was XML.

But apparently a few poor souls are still painfully asleep.

> I’d like to do the same for Android projects, but Google is hellbent on the XML usage if you’re building with Android Framework…

For sure the Android API is oriented towards building GUIs in XML, but it's actually quite possible to build your Android GUI in Java code.

When I started developing for Android, I took a look at a few tutorials and said "no way", searched the web for how to build Android GUIs programmatically, and never looked back.

Turning the once clear API documentation of the entire standard library into an incomprehensible mess, for what? So you can avoid casting when getting something out of a collection?

So no, absolutely not. Enough with generics. It was a mistake in the first place. Don't dig any deeper in that hole.

Many people, developers included, use the mouse to point and click when they need to change the caret position while editing text. If you do enough of that, the amount of precisely controlled movement involved quickly add up to repetitive strain injury on your hand/wrist. I've seen colleagues in their 20s/30s suffering from this problem, to a point that they needed to use the mouse with their other hand.

I'd recommend using the keyboard to navigate within a document. It's going to take some getting used to, but it'll be best for your hand health in the long run. Meanwhile, switching to a trackball (remember those?), a trackpad, or a trackpoint mouse, will definitely alleviate the symptoms.

Hear hear, I only use two: toothpaste and soap.

> although sunscreen is its own chemical minefield

Absolutely, I'll choose physical shade/cover over sunscreen any day of the week.

Thanks for sharing! Here comes mine.

> pass rock hard stool once every 3ish days.

I go once every 3 days, sometimes even 4, without any drama. I quite like the schedule and think it saves me a lot of time. I believe what makes it work is that I drink ~1.5 liters of tea every day, on top of the water I get from one meal per day plus some snacks here and there.

I used to be constantly bloated and extremely gassy. But no longer since I stopped going to restaurants and started eating home-cooked meals made from fresh ingredients. Turns out my stomach is just allergic to crappy ingredients restaurants like to put into our food.

I take zero medication.

Hope you find your way soon to better gut health!
