Apple really should’ve grabbed Affinity before canva. Would’ve rounded out this suite much better.


Yeah. The Affinity team with Apple's resources could have made an amazing Adobe CC alternative for Mac users.


Using mouthwash every time is not ideal because most mouthwashes disrupt your oral microbiome which will result in undesired side-effects like teeth staining etc.


I've heard this before, yet my mouth remains... unaffected.

What does an "oral microbiome" even mean? I understand what it means in the literal sense, but would a person's mouth be dysfunctional if it were hypothetically devoid of microbes? Is there an accepted healthy oral microbiome composition?


You can get oral probiotics, like lactibiane buccodental. These healthy bacteria compete with harmful bacteria that causes cavities and gum disease.

You're saying we can make good toothpaste but we can't make good mouthwash?


> We have an iOS app in the store for 3 years and out of the blue apple is demanding we provide new licenses that don’t exist and threaten to kick our app out.

Crazy! If you can elaborate here, please do.


This case was different from hackclub’s usual donations. Someone spotted OXY2DEV, a prolific Neovim plugin dev, coding on his phone and shared it with the community. People rallied to raise money specifically for him, and hackclub stepped in to facilitate. The drive ended with a small surplus, and since the funds were raised only for him, they let him decide how to use it. Smart choice because in South Asia chasing service centers is such a hassle and Apple’s service process is a dream in comparison.


I can't talk for the entire region, but what I saw across my travels is quite the opposite. You enter a repair shop the owner typically knows how to solder and will fix about any laptop and mobile phone. Back home in Europe is where repairs are overpriced or deemed "impossible". I can't recall more than once in south east asia the words "you better off buying a new one", oh so common in the "west".

I agree the critic sounds misplaced though, he wanted a Macbook. However not because all the other models are complicated to fix in his land.


I learned lenses from the mentioned Edward Kmett video but wish I'd learned from the "Optics by Example" book instead; it's more cohesive, comprehensive and can save you a bunch of time - https://leanpub.com/optics-by-example/


The comment also includes brand value in the next paragraph and Jony has loads of that.


Does io have any brand value?

They're not acquiring Jony or Jony's design firm. They're acquiring the remaining portion of a joint venture. You could even say that LoveFrom is divesting from the joint venture.


They really should put something to that effect on the homepage.


It's funny that this is by Ben Franklin, someone notorious for routinely violating at least half of these virtues.


They’re lovely, thank you!


At some point far in the future, humanity will populate an entire planet with custom designed species, something like the engineers from prometheus. If only there were a way to live long enough to see all that.


Maybe the future lightcone denizens are of masters of physics. Perhaps one day they get bored of building Dyson spheres and decide to tap into the past for amusement.

Maybe they have unimaginable access to such vast energies that they can capture every photon that ever left earth and effectively reverse the lightcone.

Maybe they can sample the neural state of every lived human with exacting precision and wholly create the history of life on earth down to every single human thought and experience. Every neurotransmitter flux. If you've conquered galaxies and bent physics, perhaps this unimaginable resolution of observation is quite trivial.

Maybe they'll resurrect us. Hopefully into a world palatable for us, not some hellscale dystopia horror/torture simulator the quadrillionaires of the future enjoy putting us through.

Maybe that's you now. Being resimulated.

This is all ludicrous, implausible, science fiction fantasy. But maybe your next waking moment will be meeting the future. Hopefully they have something good in store.


The current dystopia is no slouch.


>... humanity will...

Might*.
