ST2 was a godsend to me throughout college and holds a very special place in my heart. Five years later, I always have it open and use it to take notes. It's so simple and honestly beyond editing code, it serves as a buffer to hold random thoughts/drafts/copy/files/etc. It's also the best way to run quick transformations to text (regex search/replace, Text Pastry, etc). So thank you to the devs. I'm excited about ST4 and will use it when it comes out.
But, I wonder, at this point, what does it take to beat VSCode? What're the key things that seem to be missing and are they part of the roadmap?
I've been on an H1B for 4 years now and have had Greencard filed a few yrs ago. I've been working for almost 5 years and want to take a longer time off, two or three months sabbatical/unpaid leave.
I would still like to stay in US (my parents live here). Is this possible? Will I lose my visa or greencard status?
I love PiP and it's def great in WFH situation where I can just have YouTube videos playing on the side.
If anyone from Mozilla is reading this, one thing I wish Firefox did was to allow us to make it sticky to the corner like Safari does on MacOS.
I think just throwing the PiP window to a corner and expecting it to be there is subtle difference but makes the overall experience much simpler. I don't having to decide where exactly to position the video and keep moving it little by little. Also, if I push the Safari PiP video against the edge of the screen, it simply collapses. That's helpful when the video is blocking something I care about and I need to quickly hide it. Again, simpler experience than allowing free form movement for my workflow.
It's also important to note that discovering content on the Internet today is mostly done using platforms controlled by one or more of these 10 people.
That's not how it works. Platforms like Reddit and Facebook do the opposite of what you describe. They are walled gardens that go out of their way to prevent you from escaping to the open Internet.
I'm working on website that aggregates Twitter feeds of your political representatives based on your location, starting from your city council, mayor through the president. This is helpful to see what they're saying and for any local updates regarding COVID or otherwise.
What is the value (to Apple) in providing this kind of detail in maps, other than aesthetics? I'm trying to understand why Apple (or any company) would invest money into what seems like a marginal improvement in UX. The city landscape is constantly changing, so there's associated maintainence cost too.
The necessary link between aerial imagery and on-ground navigation by mobile phone is a 3d map.
I'd like to know where the front entrance is vs. the side entrance, is there a ramp vs. stairs, are these two buildings connected or not, is there a skyway, is there a penthouse on the roof, is there a garage behind the main house, etc.
So Google Street View is chopped liver? Flat gray 3D representations don't seem to answer those questions as well as just tooling around the building in Google Street View.
Google's also moving towards adding 3D topography to their maps so I don't quite see what your point is. This isn't an Apple vs Google thing; they're both doing the same things, they just seem to have different priorities about the order in which they do it.
Because this is missing an important point. In order to render the data, the data has to be in a format understood by computers, which street view is not.
Better, more accurate maps are a good incentive to keep people using their platform. It's an incentive to continue using iOS, as now even better maps are built it! (This is my quick off the top logical explanation.)
