Wish it was only the keyboard enshittified. Literally everything became worse with the update, I had to google how to turn off the silly transparency (Accessibility Settings -> Display -> Reduce Transparency) so that the battery that used to happily last for the entire day on iOS 18 does not die in a matter of some 4 hours. And don't even get me started on now-always-lagging home screen swipes and the Safari overhaul madness! Wanna close the active tab? That will be three taps, thank you very much. Oh, you want them taps to register _every time_, too? This basic phone UX used to be Apple's major USP over Android, now fewer and fewer reasons to stick to this ecosystem.

For the power users: you can swipe up from the bottom URL bar and then swipe from rtl on a thumbnail to close. That’s two actions instead of three.

You can also swipe right or left on the URL bar to switch tabs.

Alternatively hold the URL bar and press close.

I’m using a 12 mini and I’m running into so many typos since the new iOS. Maybe the combination of buggy software with their smallest screen is making it even worse.

Well, Sqlite is battle-tested to hell and back... and with PGlite I managed to get a `memory access out of bounds` in less than 3min of playing around. So perhaps maybe not prod-ready yet, even if it's bigger brother is one of the most solid DBs. (To be fair I've also seen & experienced issues with SQLite - no software is bug-free.)

What I always wonder is which people use SQLite to run tests for a Postgres application. Isn’t the difference in dialect pretty much always an issue unless you do only the most basic type of queries? pglite fills a hole where imho currently only dockerized Postgres sits

You're in the most light-polluted region of the continent. Unlikely you can see anything I'd wager x)

I saw visible pink bands from my balcony in Amsterdam, showing bright pink fading to green when looking through my iPhone. And yes, lots of light pollution here. Shows how crazy strong this northern light was.

Aleksandr's training is public on his Strava: https://www.strava.com/athletes/26934035

Something to remember is that this is his pace _after_ pit stops, so his actual running pace was faster. Also notable is that this course was kind of terrible, with four 90 degree turns and three 180 degree turns each lap for 209 laps. There's little doubt that he could run > 200 miles on a course with fewer turns.

This is his actual running pace. Strava only calculates pace including the stops when you set the activity type to ‘race’, which he didn’t.

Try and get an invite for Arc. It solves these problems. Honestly i thought this post was just a secret marketing plug by one of their employees haha, but no one mentions it in the comments so far.

Re text selection, what I find annoying is that that you can't just tap with your finger on the text itself to place the cursor in an exact location. You can tap to place the cursor, but it always snaps to the end of a word. Why?

My favourite iPhone feature that was removed though was being able to fully turn off WiFi from the Control Center (last seen in iOS 10).

grsmvg · 3 years ago
You can then ‘grab’ the cursor and move it. Or just use the hold spacebar trick two merge those two steps into a single action.
