I create software for fun and profit. I'm an amateur urban designer (i.e. I play City Skylines and follow Strong Towns). I live in Dallas, and truly love my city. I like to read history and science fiction. I do my best to follow the teachings and example of Jesus. I once made a web based HyperCard clone.

tunefs(8) aficionadoWe chuckle when Scotty picks up a mouse and tries talking to the computer in Star Trek IV, but imagine travelling forward in time from the 90s and realizing they got rid of the fucking scrollbars
Steve Troughton-SmithiOS 7 effectively wiped out iPad app development. For years after that release, developers were hands-full redesigning for flat design and then flexible layouts. Custom iPad app designs fell by the wayside, and eventually all the unique apps on the platform were replaced with scaled phone apps. Many of the early adopter developers decided enough was enough, so their apps were dropped or abandoned. Today, you'll have a hard time finding apps that support any of the modern iPad features properly
The idea that we can rewind the clock to when developers cared enough to make high-quality unique iPad apps like Push Pop Press did is a complete fantasy. If you push the reset button on iPad today, developers aren't remotely in the mood to rebuild the kind of unique, bespoke app ecosystem the device had before iOS 7 and the last big reset. If iPad were invented today, it would have a fate much more similar to Vision Pro than anybody wants to think about

I feel like the @dallasnews subscription marketing may not be fully trustworthy. Or maybe they really like giving last chances?

Gareth Halfacree8086YES! is back, and this time it's a no to 8086: the BOOK II is a TTL-based Apple II clone with a whole bunch of upgrades including a Z80 SoftCard for CP/M goodness... in a netbook-like (chunky) laptop chassis.
Not going to lie, I'm kinda tempted.
