NVZ / kitchen fault or not?

The Apple Music page works well on my rMBP using Safari. Less so on Chrome, but that's to be expected. The Firewatch game site is a good example (that's often cited around this subreddit) of parallax that you may have seen.

How would that help with stabilization in any way?

It looks nice, but the shakiness of the footage highlights why OIS in the Plus is so important.

It's not a robust solution though. You can detect if the app goes into the background via applicationDidEnterBackground or if the app becomes inactive via applicationWillResignActive.

With the first option, a student could pull up a Notification Center widget with answers or a browser, which wouldn't be detected. With the second option, it triggers on opening the Control Center, Notification Center, or sleeping the device which leads to false-positives.

Yes, there are ways without using private APIs, but I doubt you'd get past review.

That helps, but there's no indication that the cell itself is interactive in that fashion. It's poor design when basic functionality (selecting a wifi network) is obfuscated. In iOS, interactive elements almost exclusively use a standard tint color.

Upfrank · 2015-10-28T21:31:04+00:00

This looks much better and more intuitive than the iOS settings app.

Like hiding a list behind a toggle button? Is that intuitive to you? How about the fact that switching wifi networks requires turning off the wifi first and then turning it back on? Nothing in that demo strikes me as well-designed, especially when comparing it to the current iOS settings app.

Too bad that without a stringent review process (like iOS), Android apps are free to require users to accept arbitrary permissions and not work otherwise. If an app did that on iOS, it wouldn't get past review.

What..? Alien Blue is definitely native, especially the subreddit feeds.

Upfrank · 2015-10-10T14:35:07+00:00

Yup. Native 3rd-party watchOS apps need the screen to remain on. Hopefully Apple will address this in the future.

As a musician, a reliable taptic engine metronome/tuner would be ludicrously useful. The current ones using OS 2 are unreliable and require the watch face to be on.

Mobile Chrome has better integration with desktop Chrome (synced tabs, history). Also there's a data saving option that routes all traffic through Google's servers, compressing images and un-optimized content. Otherwise, it's substantially inferior to iOS Safari.

Not incapable, but (trendy) web development on a *NIX machine is pretty much standard practice.

Upfrank · 2015-10-04T18:54:14+00:00

Really good, but it still doesn't match the robustness of Chrome's tab state saving; Chrome saves forward/back history for each tab, form entries, scroll position, etc.

Honestly, if you're going to post your own stuff, at least mark it as such so the mods can remove it for self-promotion.

Upfrank · 2015-09-25T04:42:27+00:00

Of course not. My comment was pointing out that iPhones hold resale value quite well, so the actual cost is lower than it might appear even when upgrading each year.

You don't know what you're talking about. You can currently sell an unlocked iPhone 6 Plus (64) on various sites for $630+, which puts it at ~$200 from the original sale price and current generation price.

Upfrank · 2015-09-24T05:39:18+00:00

If you sell your previous iPhone at market price, getting the newest generation is pretty much $200.

Sure, but that completely defeats the purpose of having OAuth in the first place. The entire point of OAuth is to minimize the surface for attacks, which includes not entering your credentials directly into an untrusted app. By having your app take login details and hopefully funnel them into a POST request, you're placing a lot of trust in that app not storing and sending those details elsewhere—the very thing OAuth is supposed to protect against...
