pjerem commented on iPhone Typos? It's Not Just You – The iOS Keyboard Is Broken [video] youtube.com/watch?v=hksVv... · Posted by u/walterbell

PsylentKnight · 3 days ago

I haven't been getting notifications from any messaging apps for a few months. I've checked all the relevant settings (do not disturb etc.). I also get random keyboard issues such as this one. This is my first iPhone. I have no idea why I paid premium prices for a premium phone if they can't even get notifications and typing right

That's a really strange issue you have here. Never heard of anything like this. Could it be possible that some aggressive filtering exists on your network that would disallow your iphone to connect to Apple's push servers ?

I think multi -language forums with AI translators is a cool idea.

You post in your own language, and the site builds a translation for everyone, but they can also see your original etc.

I think building it as a forum feature rather than a browser feature is maybe worth.

You know that this is the most hated feature of reddit ? (because the translations are shitty so maybe that can be improved)

Face ID works in the rain

You don’t have glasses I guess.

This. I’d complain more about Face ID if Apple Pay wasn’t the first payment mechanism I’ve used that reliably fulfills the promise of being faster/easier than cash, and Face ID + mechanical button is a big part of that.

pjerem · 10 days ago

Still, Apple Pay was way more reliable with TouchID.

Step 1 : take the phone off your pocket Step 2 : put it against the terminal while touching (not pressing) the home button. Step 3 : there is no step 3, you already paid because even if the phone wasn’t unlocked the NFC reader automatically unlocked it, opened your default card and validated the payment thanks to your finger being on the reader.

Compared to FaceID, no need to double press a button and to watch your screen waiting for the little animation to finish.

Don’t get me wrong, paying with FaceID totally works and it’s fast. But paying with TouchID wasn’t fast, it was instant and thoughtless.

imo was one of the last multi-messengers, where one could stay connected with almost everyone regardless what they used. It was a good time. It was a sad day, when I realized that they will pivot to their own solution, but I guess it was better for them.

Beeper does a great job at this. I use it for all my IM needs.

pjerem commented on 1GB Raspberry Pi 5, and memory-driven price rises raspberrypi.com/news/1gb-... · Posted by u/shrx

MisterTea · 14 days ago

What surprises me the most is the 1GB option is even viable though I can imagine this will be for IoT users who shove Pi's into things doing embedded stuff where a kernel with a few user space things along with maybe a container are doing all the work.

pjerem · 14 days ago

Probably but I fail to see what use case doesn't need more than 1Gb but can't be done already with a Pi 3b or 4.

50 years for 1 light day... so to arrive Alpha Centauri that is 4.2 light years far away... 76549 years and 364 days :-)

Less than that is you are constantly accelerating.

pjerem commented on `satisfies` is my favorite TypeScript keyword (2024) sjer.red/blog/2024-12-21/... · Posted by u/surprisetalk

wk_end · 22 days ago

If I saw that in a PR I would push very hard to reject; something like that is a maintenance burden that probably isn’t worth the cost, and I’ve been the most hardcore about types and TypeScript of anyone of any team I’ve been on in the past decade or so.

Now, that said, I probably would want to be friends with that dev. Unless they had an AI generate it, in which case the sin is doubled.

pjerem · 22 days ago

I’d say it depends. I always advocate for code that is easy to read and to understand, but in extremely rare conditions, hard to read code is the better solution.

Especially when it comes to signatures in Typescript, complex signatures can be used to create simple and ergonomic APIs.

But anyway you shouldn’t be allowed to push anything like this without multiple lines of comments documenting the thing. Unreadable code can be balanced with good documentation but I rarely saw this unfortunately.

pjerem commented on 'The French people want to save us': help pours in for glassmaker Duralex theguardian.com/world/202... · Posted by u/n1b0m

pjerem · 22 days ago

The article mentions it, but don’t insist on it. Duralex is now quite a special company: they were a renowned and beloved brand that was heading toward bankruptcy, until last year when the company was bought by its own workers and turned into a cooperative.

Since then, they have stayed afloat, probably thanks mainly to people wanting to support a worker-owned business by buying their glasses, but still, it works.

It’s a pretty positive story so far, and I hope they’ll continue to thrive under this new structure.

every week when I login into my Ubuntu with unattended updates enabled I see this: "system restart required".

the hot patch feature you mentioned is paid

pjerem · a month ago

On Ubuntu, when this message is shown, most of the updates except the kernel are already applied so you are mostly pretty secure. And you can choose when that will happen. And it’s just a normal reboot.

On Windows, IIRC, you are blocked during the whole update process which can take several minutes.
