If I want to try developing an app for this, should I just wait for the thing to be generally available and try to buy one? Would Apple ever offer some kind of developer preview device?
I think they will probably offer some kind of developer program? Developers apply for early access to a device.
I wonder if it will also be possible to preview Vision apps on Xcode via the simulator... Very interested to see how much access they give to the hardware and sensors via APIs.
I joined the sourdough bandwagon during the pandemic. I was committed to whole wheat, and had inconsistent (to put it generously) results until I came across Hendrik's Whole Wheat Sourdough Master class[0]. Really great content, and all of the experimentation really showed. I'm happy to see it here!
My understanding is the motivation for Q1 is that vendors will stop including ODB ports since they can rely on OTA mechanisms [1], thus bypassing the intent of the previously enacted right to repair bill. The Globe editorial [2], despite being in favor of Question 1, acknowledges many of the concerns you've laid out. They suggest, as a possible remedy, that the Legislature amend the law if and when voters approve it, and propose "a compromise that requires all cars, including electric vehicles, to keep their OBD ports — which mechanics can currently plug into to retrieve diagnostics data ."
Why don't npm/yarn/github/etc have explicit support for premium packages that cost money? It can provide revenue for the registry, too.
Napster and LimeWire were cool because people got something for free and, all else being equal, people prefer free to not free; but all else is not equal because free is not necessarily sustainable. If there were literally no way to monetize music at scale, it would not have worked out well for consumers in the long wrong, because there would be far less to consume.
People pay for software regularly. Package managers are marketplaces for software, so it doesn't seem like a huge leap for them to facilitate the exchange of funds. Then feross can charge money for standard if he wants, and people that don't think it's worth it won't pay him and won't see an ad and won't use the software.
I think github is already trying to do many of those things. They started Github Sponsors[1] and Github Package Registry[2] recently.
Regular github already makes it pretty easy to choose an open source license for your project. If they add better support for creating a commercial license integrated with their package registry and automating revenue splitting among contributors, I can see it working.
A Report SPAM button on calendar invites would seem to be in order, so I don't have to manually delete each of these from the same address, and so Google can ban the offending account quickly.
The fact that we now need a spam button on our calender is ridiculous.
How long until advertisers pay <calendar provider> to add events to our calendars such as take Mom to <resturant> for Mother's Day, Watch <movie> on its release day, Go To <store> on its grand opening, etc?
(Please take this as a warning, not a "feature" suggestion.)
