Actually it's blue, but the rest of your post is on point.
But since we're here we can talk about the colour clashing of a bong lighting up green while firing a blue laser. There's an old saying for those who aren't in high-fashion and thus unable to pull off this stunt: "Blue and Green should never be seen, especially not without a colour in between".
I accept having to deal with jet lag when I travel
Are you really *that* sensitive? Do you absolutely have to go to bed at exactly the same time every night so it doesn't mess you up the day after? I don't get it. I work early hours but I'm a night person so typically during the week I go to bed at 10pm, but Friday and Saturday night I'm usually up till 1-3am. I just don't get what the problem is.
This isn't OCD. If Apple were OCD they'd understand the purpose of a map and its colour scheme. This is some marketing rubbish driving product design making the result less useful overall.
Google did the same thing with their iterations of Maps but in different ways. Their choices of what and how to label now make absolutely no sense prioritising the lack of information (boundaries and exclusions around large labels) over specific destinations of interest. https://www.justinobeirne.com/...
Indeed, I suspect for Google they can throw a switch
I suspect the opposite. The reality is that Google Maps change continuously in such small ways that you barely notice. It's literally under constant development. However if obfuscating details like national park boundaries or state parks is what makes Apple Maps great, then I truly hope that Google doesn't attempt to compete.
It's not about innocent. It's about being serious.
Computers used to be widely used by the nerdy few. Playing pranks on like minded people was a great pastime. However computers are now essential for everyone so it's a bit less funny.
But the reality is we just moved on from needing the apps. Intel's display driver alone is able to flip screens on command. That got so prolific last year that we actually got bored of pranking each other. So I took it to the next level.
I got a screwdriver and turned the person's screen upside down on it's base. He was using the shortcut key to flip his screen back to the correct orientation and couldn't figure out why it wasn't working. Eventually he flipped it to the incorrect orientation and thought all was good until he rebooted his computer and the password prompt was upside down.
What's a shame here is that Fedora has actually done a much better job at packaging a polished and functional KDE desktop than Ubuntu ever did.
Why is that a shame? Are you desperate to use Ubuntu but don't because of KDE? It would seem that it is simply the whole distribution ecosystem working entirely as designed. Pick the one with the features you like.
By catering to all people you end up making no one happy. This is precisely why the spin-off distributions exist.
It's not just foreigners who learn English, it's English speakers who learn a foreign language too. For some reason teach English has devolved to the studying of literature without every explaining simple things like the components that make up a sentence.
I didn't know what the "past participle" was until I learnt a second language. And it was while learning that second language that I started correcting some of my poor English.
That's an interesting perspective, since without developers there would be no end user experience. Or end users.
If that's what you read in my post then you missed the point. Developers and end users by their very nature REQUIRE two completely different experiences. What is presented to one should be completely different to what is presented to the other.
Visual Studio for Android development? No thanks.
Whatever floats your boat.
While I understand it can be amusing to make up stuff, I never mentioned being confused. Perhaps you're the one who is confused actually. You're mentioning all these resources for finding the relationship between the various pieces of information, when the comment that started this whole conversation specifically mentioned finding the information via a web search. Literally no one is saying the information is not available.
"It's worse than that even. Besides the version number (9) and the name (Pie) there's also something called an API level that only developers see (28). Name -> number would be easy to figure out if it were always a major revision number, but it isn't. " Quite possibly you're as bad at understanding a point as you are making it.
In terms of the end user experience. Yes developers are no-one. Developers spend their lives pouring through libraries, references, APIs, all of which have nothing to do with the name or number of the software presented to users. On top of that developers are the one set of people who have access to all the hot little information right at their fingertips.
I stand by my comment, NO-ONE will be confused or impacted by this. Consumers don't see it. Developers have it cross referenced in every tool they see or use.
Just for fun you can go to developers.android.com and click on Pie, then click release notes. Here's the first 10 words on the page: "Android 9 features and APIs Android 9 (API level 28) introduces great new features..." On the left side is a lovely menu referencing Pie, Android 9 and API 28+
Or maybe just fire up Visual Studio and when you make a new project and have to select a target framework pick out one like: "Android 9.0 (API Level 28 - Pie)"
If you're a developer and you're getting confused, please stop developing. You're probably just going to produce software that puts your users at risk.
It's not marketing hype. Rendering different details actually may be relevant. Unfortunately Apple seems to think that the green should be representative of trees rather than showing the boundaries of city parks or national parks as they are traditionally labelled.
It matters. It's marketing hype. It's also a stupid backwards idea that makes the map less useful.
From your link: "the regime occupying Jerusalem must vanish from the page of time"
I'd prefer to be wiped off the face off the map than to be wiped out of history. Now what typically happens when something is horribly mistranslated is that someone comes out and says "I didn't say that". Do you have a link to that?
A computer virus may stop your computer from working but its not "violent" - its not going to walk up and punch you.
Before you make that assertion you should research the history of computer related problems which have lead to injury or death. Remember the last major industrial malware "Triton" was specifically designed to bypass critical safety systems which sounds like it's designed to do something that would often result in a catastrophe.
To make that clear we're talking about personal gain. It's amazing what having a company name does on your resume, especially when said company has famously high standards for employing technical people.
I saw less then 5 "typical nerds" that we generally look like, balding, overweight dudes who look a bit shy / insure of themselves.
My contact tells me the vast majority of real work is done by about 15% of the staff. It was seriously like a high school cafeteria.
I too have a contact at Google. She's smoking hot, young, and has a pair of PhDs to her name. Chances are that 15% of work probably is being done by precisely the people you're sexistly judgmental about.
The difference between now and 20 years ago is that the "amount to be offended by" has increased to the point where air conditioning, smiling, small talk, and refusing to be baited by the crazy cat lady is claimed as sexist.
Sorry but that's just plain horseshit. There are definitely people out there with this opinion, however they typically don't last long and few people give them the time of day.
On the flip side 99% of what you hear about is actual legitimate complaints that are only not tolerated now because people are sick of being harassed by arseholes.... I say 99% because I assume you are a normal person who reads normal stuff and doesn't hang out on SJW blogs or go around fatshaming people on tumblr or whatever it is those idiots do. They do exist, those echochamers exist, however they are exceedingly rare in large companies which (as you can see here) typically swing in the opposite direction.
im pretty sure that Google Internal Security just face-recognized all of those social media posts, put all those workers on a blacklist, and will have them banned from the tech industry.
young people these days don't seem to understand how mega corporations work.
I take it you're young then? It may surprise you that the employer employee relationship is something typically of benefit to both sides. Employers don't sit around looking for excuses to fire people. Google probably knows quite well who participated in the process, they will however do precisely nothing about it.
Finding staff costs money. Training staff costs money. That doesn't even take into account the quality or capability of the staff in question.
stop trying to change Google. Quit google, and go work for some company that is not a monstrous leviathan of cruelty.
Or I could take the good (the reason I would work for a company), and then try to influence the bad to make my already good life even better. Why instead take a monstrous risk somewhere else, especially when it is quite likely in a larger group that I have the power to change the bad?
Yes they did, and it completely irrelevant. You see the type of primary work a company does is completely irrelevant to a desire to work for a company unless your overriding decision is affected by some moral opinion about said company.
What actually matters to most people: - The type of work. - The type of development opportunities. - The long term investment in the type of work. - The type of prestige. - Getting paid what you're worth
This is why the likes of AI / image recognition experts will line up to be paid money with lots of zeros on the end to work at an "ad company". It's why datacentre designers and hardware experts line up to be paid money with lots of zeros by an "ad company".
Start your own company with your own great ideas.
If it were easy then everyone would do it. But it's not. It's far easier to be paid for your expertise than to branch out into something that you have no experience in. The fact that you actually suggested this shows that you've never started your own company before.
Find a really great company that makes product and services you actually like working with.
They did. Most educated and capable people do not work very long for a company they aren't happy with.
Thats what your education allows you to do. The freedom to find work all over the USA.
Which begs the question, why is it that you are more upset that these people work at an "ad company" than the people themselves?
These are the two cellphone construction techniques that make generate e-waste.
Cellphones don't have SSDs, also there aren't a hell of a lot of products out there with soldered in batteries. The iPhone is no exception, even on dense models like the XS both batteries have a small connector.
Now the MacBook's use of glue to hold the batteries in place is another story for another complaint.

Worse yet, it's green.

Who said they were working?
I could see keeping a Wal-Mart open under such conditions. People may need things desperately
I'm an Amazon Prime member you insensitive clod.

Give someone some LSD tonight and then change the clocks.
I do that every weekend, what makes this weekend any different?
When you're done the clocks may be right.
