indefensible: john gruber

"you shd use helvetica font"

tbf i would actually like to be a fly on the wall if jobs and trump had a chat

congratulations to the tories

I am a designer who studies iconography

ah iconography the study of computer icons

"he's got a master's degree.... in Science!"

For those of you who erroneously claim I never link to stories about Republicans with approval, here you go: I love this. I hope they succeed. These are Republicans whose eyes are wide open to reality. (Maybe not the reality of today’s Republican party, but the reality of climate change.)

Nice to see some other major western democracy have an unusual election for once. Congratulations to the Tories.

unsubscribed from him like last year sometime and I'm glad all I'm missing is yardsticks and beacons

yeah i used to read that site embarrassingly all the time and today was the first time ive been there in who knows

tbh i think i did end up there recently when i googled something about markdown lol

This is about as vigorous a response to Susan Fowler’s allegations as Kalanick could possibly pursue. Eric Holder isn’t going to sweep anything under the rug.

If Holder goes after Uber like he went after Wall st., Kalanick will just pay a fine and be done with it.

Personally, I think these establishments are morally repulsive.

I understand that Asian culture is different from U.S. culture, and I understand that part of Asian culture — certainly in South Korea — is “doing business” in such establishments. But The Information’s story doesn’t say the Uber execs were “doing business” with Koreans. They were a bunch of Americans out amongst themselves, so the cultural norms of South Korea aren’t relevant.

when you take a stand against something you think sounds sketchy and end up sounding much sketchier yourself

haven't looked at this guy's page in an age but saw a headline somewhere else about the deck shutting down and thought 'I bet he writes an 18k word requiem for it'

feels good to know the studio 60 on the sunset strip of tech blogs is still soldiering on

and it aspires to be the newsroom

lol

i do not believe john gruber knows what "memory management" means https://daringfireball.net/linked/2017/04/21/phone-speed-test

One of my very favorite songs the only song I know from Chris Cornell — the opening credits theme to Casino Royale. A great song that just fits the movie so damn well.

that intellectual curiosity of really loving a song someone did as a theme tune and never seeking out anything else

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE TORIES

I sent him that after Trump won. He didn't say anything

lmao

hah

kudos stet

He needs to stop calling his sources "little birdies", holy hell

To think people used to pay for his insight and now it's 5000 words about a single unimportant tech spec of the 8th iPhone

"now"

when the whole apple scene was a lot smaller and he'd get tidbits of data from people on the inside that actually seemed unique... it seems like a lifetime ago

now it's sites that do nothing but report every rumor getting leaked info directly from shenzhen factories

this is an interesting story that gruber is going to ruin https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/05/sports/baseball/boston-red-sox-stealing-signs-yankees.html?_r=1

bwahahaha

the grand story of the iPhone has been spoiled

The iPhones 8

lol

Raise-to-wake works about as well as I could hope, but as someone who regularly wears mechanical watches, trust me, it’s no substitution for always being able to glance at your wrist for the time

as someone who is an expert in non-apple watches

Dhdjfkgjhs

the iphones 8

my god https://webkit.org/blog/7929/designing-websites-for-iphone-x/

Yeah I'm not doing that.

tbrr the css/layout frameworks used in everything will add like two rules for that device and no one else will care because catering stylesheets yourself stopped a decade ago

untrue but regardless making a screen that weird shape just so u cn pretend its ALL SCREEN is dumb

fair

Thank god Apple seeded Mike Allen with an iPhone X review unit. Such great insight from his fucking nephew, the emoji expert.

Thank god Apple seeded Fashion with a review unit.

Thank god Apple seeded these insightful critics with a review unit.

It *was* really weird how Apple handled the press on this launch. I wonder if it’s linked to the pasting the Watch 3 got from “proper” reviewers
