See, I didn't know that, and I've had iPhones since the 4 (a grand total of four devices), and am the sort of person who reads the manual in general, and likes to know all the features of a device I spend time with.
On the one hand, thanks for the tip! On the other hand, Apple has an enormous discoverability problem, it's getting worse, and they're responding by making the UX dumber instead of addressing it head on.
Tips is actually a great example of how Apple fails at this/discoverability. The tips in there are novice and below level at best. With none of the advanced features even discussed, let alone more obscure or hidden ones.
Not convinced at all. This stuff makes people more productive. This may mean fewer jobs orbit may just mean more output as the lower costs (not wages) make custom software more accessible. I see this as making the Google/stack overflow turn around much shorter.
It will. In particular, people who aren't software developers. Most devs are basically modern scribes working for kings who can't read or write. In order to exert willpower in digital society, you need to be able to code, which is why everyone with money who can't code wants coders to work for them. But that's all going to change the day ideas men can explain their idea to an AI instead, which whips up an app on the fly. When that happens there'll be a lot less demand for coders. It probably wouldn't impact things like software engineering, where it'd be more of a productivity booster, but it'd certainly narrow down the tech workforce by a bit.
Google products are usually loss leaders, so as a user they feel much better to use than dedicated services that are more clearly monetized e.g. Yelp allowing businesses to remove reviews compared to Google Maps reviews, Google Docs being free and decent compared to Microsoft's Office suite.
While Google's cloud revenues are a fairly small portion of the total overall, Google Workplace sales (i.e. supported suite) would still be pretty significant at many companies. I'm not sure it's fair to call it a loss leader.
We just have a history table (for each table) where all deleted and past versions of record are stored. Seems to solve all the issues. The history table is NOT part of the application, but is there for audit and diagnostics etc.
As a Python programmer I completely agree. Only last week I started to look into C# and the cross platform capabilities. I have to say it looks really good these days. Wish I learnt C# years ago now...
Hmmm. Chinese currency is fundementally undervalue though. I don't think this "running low" can happen. Chinese business and gov must have vast USD assets.
