My Sony TV has android and is fairly responsive. Maybe a second lag, but definitely not 10-20 secs. I do need to give it time to “warm up” when I start it, though. I use it so rarely it’s generally turned off from wall outlet.
I still prefer Apple TV for various reasons, though, responsiveness being one of them.
Torrenting is easy, but what are you goung to do with the torrented files then? Without additional external hardware you probably won't be able to play your downloaded files on your large TV, and most people prefer a laggy simple route over having to do more work. I do torrent from time to time, but the hassle associated with the whole process really highlights why streaming apps took over.
Sony TVs are some of the most sane options in the TV market right now. Generally decent, and they don't fight you if you want to use them without connecting them to the internet. Still not perfect and they'll cost you more, but it's a worthwhile trade to me.
This is a great resource! I’ve used awk for only the most basic field wrangling. This makes me more confident in doing fancier things that I’d otherwise use grep for.
I don’t see myself switching from 1password simply because I don’t think Apple passwords autofill will work natively with non-safari browsers or Linux, both of which I also use. Also, I find the handy 1password mini source pretty convenient.
Other browsers could add support for the native macOS password autofill apis (introduced back in 2020 in macOS Big Sur). So far both Chrome[1] and Firefox[2] have refused to add support.
That exchange with Vas (on the Chrome side) was more than a little frustrating.
"Chrome isn't just an App, it's a password provider. We're not throwing that away for Apple."
I don't think that was anyone's intention. Just to support filling passwords from other sources. But he locked into a single use case that was a straw man. "I can understand how some users might want that. That's not a priority for us."
I haven't determined yet whether the new Passwords app will support my killer feature for 1Password: non-password-stuff.
I keep family members' social security numbers, security questions and answers, passport numbers, etc in there, and I don't want to split that data between a passwords app & secure notes.
Yes, it's so nice to keep random info in 1Password. I keep my VIN/license plate, software licenses, API tokens, drivers license info w/ pictures, insurance cards, etc.
It already works for Chrome. Apple has an official extension. However, it’s a bit annoying since you need to authenticate each new browser session with MFA
> The iCloud Passwords extension is compatible with macOS Sonoma and Windows versions supported by the iCloud for Windows app. To enable the extension on a PC, download the iCloud for Windows app from the Microsoft Store and enable iCloud Passwords.
So AIUI no Linux? (vested interest as that would be my use case)
> However, it’s a bit annoying since you need to authenticate each new browser session with MFA
Well I'd be annoyed if iCloud-stored passwords weren't protected by MFA.
Tangent: I wish the EU would crack down on behemoths that borderline on being utility providers to publish protocol docs on grounds of:
I live in India. My newspaper costs ₹230 a month. That's ₹2,760 a year and ₹27,600 for a decade (not factoring inflation). At today's conversion rates, that's $333.58 for entire decade.
If I pay the remaining amount of $2166.42 to the delivery person over 10 years, that's about ₹1493 per month, which is over 6 times the cost of newspaper subscription. For that amount, yeah, they'll be happy to hang the paper on a wall.
IMHO there are better fonts for easy legibility. Inter’s uppercase I (eye) looks exactly same as lowercase l (el). Moreover, there’s only a subtle difference in curvature between a zero and English letter O. Ideally every single letter and number irrespective of case should look unique.
To be fair, the serifed "I" is included as an alternate[0], along with a stylistic set for other disambiguations[1] including 0/O. This requires OpenType support and some user intervention, but if you're typesetting something it's not impossible.
I don't really dislike any language i've worked with, but I find myself looking forward to writing some Elixir at work and Common lisp in non-work situations.
I'd recommend a batteries-included Emacs distro like Doom to try out. That way, you don't spend a lot of time customising the editor before getting invested.
Vanilla Emacs is plenty fast, but Doom will give you a closer to real world use case, with themes, LSP, Magit and other essentials built in.
I’m not sure it was ever alive to begin with. Not in the classical sense. I mean, I don’t think elisp ever got good (or any) use outside of emacs configuration and extension. There weren’t any popular web frameworks, numerical libraries etc. written in elisp.
Inside its target space, though, it seems as vibrant as ever. New, helpful packages keep appearing that are written in elisp. For better or worse, the extension ecosystem is not nearly as fragmented as some other editors.
That’s not to say that elisp doesn’t need serious improvements, though. Making it natively multi threaded alone will advance the story quite a bit imo.
This! It’s generally a good idea to have a lot of smaller “dumb” views that are stateless and depend on their parameters, and a few “intelligent” views that bring the children together and provide state logic. That puts reasonable boundaries between the view and business logic, even in declarative code like SwiftUI.
I’m not a Swift or SwiftUI expert, but have written declarative UI quite a bit. Don’t imagine some base best practices would differ too much.
I still prefer Apple TV for various reasons, though, responsiveness being one of them.
