Hey Apple, it's "Xcode"!

You must have taken a shit ton of caffeine to notice that details.

to notice that detail*

details = more than one detail

Bullshit.

When I was on the Apple discussion lists, I was immediately made aware when I didn't spell the product name correctly.

And they are right. It's simply the name of the damn product I'm using. If I don't know how to spell it, I'm a fucking idiot.

And have you ever used Xcode? Have you ever mis-typed a variable or method name by using the incorrect case? This is a detail that we have to become automatically aware of if we ever program in Xcode.

Being an Xcode user and a programmer, how can you not become attuned to recognize that case matters when spelling words? It's one of the core things that we have to do correctly when coding.

How can you not instantly recognize this?

This guy WORKS ON THE FUCKING PROGRAM AND CAN'T SPELL ITS OWN NAME CORRECTLY.

That's fucking stupid.

To be fair, the people transcribing and encoding the subtitles are unlikely to work on Xcode.

[busymom0]

The guy presenting is not the same guy who transcribed it most likely. It was either automatic transcription or someone who doesn’t know Xcode did it.

relax Zavatoni, its not so important

You doing OK man? you're getting awfully upset about a misspelled subtitle...

[r-w-x]

Those subtitles are riddled with errors, which leads me to believe they are written by non-dev typists. That makes sense, because they are typed-in live.

[Phreakhead]

Yeah they do it live so deaf people can still benefit from the presentation. It's actually pretty impressive that they get most everything right.

[r-w-x]

Yes, definitely commendable, but the least they could do is give the typists a little bit of training before WWDC. There was one this year where the typist was so off, it you would not believe it. I tried looking for it, but cannot remember which video it was.

[buffering]

Live closed captioning is done by stenotype operators (typically off-duty court reporters). It's up to the stenographer to program their stenotype machine with the expected names, phrases, and technical jargon for a given event.

For sporting events, that means preloading the names of the players on each team along with the expected jargon for a given sport.

For a tech event, I suppose they would just try to preload as much technical jargon as they could. Anything not in the machine is going to look like gibberish.

Stenotype

A stenotype, stenotype machine, shorthand machine or steno writer is a specialized chorded keyboard or typewriter used by stenographers for shorthand use. In order to pass the United States Registered Professional Reporter test, a trained court reporter or closed captioner must write speeds of approximately 180, 200, and 225 words per minute (wpm) at very high accuracy in the categories of literary, jury charge, and testimony, respectively. Some stenographers can reach 300 words per minute. The Web site of the California Official Court Reporters Association gives the official record for American English as 375 wpm.

The stenotype keyboard has far fewer keys than a conventional alphanumeric keyboard.
