What my daughter thinks of my jobData data data, da da da…
@caseyliss Localization is a separate issue from multi-language support! This is something Apple and most tech companies in the US are horrible at. For example I have both English and Korean songs in iTunes. Because my language is set to English, all the Korean songs that I natively know are “localized” to English which is utterly confusing. I don’t need UI localization but would love if content localization would support multiple languages as your primary.
New web game that takes 2 min to play (and perhaps a lifetime to master?): Outsmart. “Five rounds, first to 3 wins. In each round, the higher bet wins. You have 100 total points, so bet wisely. Can you outsmart the machine?” https://labs.davidbauer.ch/outsmart/
Outsmart – a game of strategy and deception

A strategic betting game where you try to outsmart the computer, maybe for the last time ever.

@daringfireball So on par for CS faculty. That being said, where is reading mode for PDFs this is unreadable on a phone.
@mkbhd This would have been perfect for my kid who has a base M1 MBA for school. It would have also been great for all the people I recommended an M1 MBA to for their kids who said it was too expensive and settled for a crap plastic Windows laptop. The RAM is still an issue though. All the education platforms like Schoology are incredibly inefficient and use a crap ton of RAM in addition to Google Apps.
@paul From what I can tell, the normal M5 has the previously named efficiency cores and the previously named performance cores, which they rebranded super. The Pro and up have faster than normal efficiency cores, which they rebranded performance, and the previously named performance cores that are now “super”. It’s just Efficiency, Efficiency Pro, and Performance.
@daringfireball So it’s Efficiency, Efficiency Pro, and Performance.
@macstories Perfect timing. Apple weather has been absolutely useless this winter.

Too bad Chromebooks don’t have robust Remote Desktop features. If you are only using the Chromebook occasionally, you could just generate the one time code every time 🤔
@gruber The opposite side of that is the crushed garlic vs crushed ginger that looks exactly alike and is stored together and brings me much pain and anguish
