Designing Websites for iPhone X The section below about safe area insets was updated on Oct 31, 2017 to reflect changes in the iOS 11.2 beta.

I’m curious whether the safe-area-inset solves this?

"IDIOT-PROOF" TYPEWRITERS Ordinary typewriters are only as good as the people who use them. Above, we see a typical, poorly-typed letter. Note mistakes in spelling, phrasing, syntax, etc... The Idiot-Proof Typewriter will include memory tapes that store millions of words, phrases and correct grammatical expressions. As writer types, two letters will be produced simultaneously: the usual stupid one and instantly-corrected version. Recipient of letter will find it easy to understand. Of course, a few people will be nostalgic for the old personal style, but isn't perfection better than sentiment?

In 1967, Al Jaffee imagined an “idiot-proof” typewriter that corrected your mistakes in real time.

Basically GPT & ChatGPT... before we even had computers.

“isn't perfection better than sentiment?”

The man saw it coming 🥲

European stocks on track to outpace global rivals in January Benchmark Stoxx Europe 600 up more than 6% as tariff fears subside and investors flee US tech stocks

I feel like Europe as a whole received a lot of unfair criticism in the last years...

This is also a good reminder to web service developers that straight-up banning disposable-email providers' domains from your service, in addition to being frustrating sometimes, is not that strong of a security measure

Incident Report Incident Update 30 minutes ago Great news! Our intern's suggestion shows promising early results. However, they will be away for a week preparing for their final exams. Progress may temporarily slow down until they return. If anyone knows how to convince the Rust borrow checker that our year value outlives the function scope, please email me. It keeps saying my numbers are dead. Thanks! Incident Update 2 hours ago We are running out of ideas. Our intern is suggesting we generate multiple year predictions and use statistical averaging and rounding the number to the nearest integer to get the current year. We are considering this. Incident Update 8 hours ago Devin made things worse by trying to use some experimental AI model. Now the API is sometimes returning next year instead of the current year. We had to revert his changes and he's no longer working with us. Back to square one. Incident Update 10 hours ago We got a hold of this guy called Devin. He is now working with our intern to fix the issue. Thanks for your patience. Incident Update 14 hours ago Our intern identified the problem being the knowledge cutoff of GPT-4o which caused it to hallucinate the current year as 2024. We are now trying to figure out what AI agents are and if they can help us resolve the issue. Current Incident Last night Service degradation: Our API is occasionally returning 2024 instead of 2025. Our intern is investigating and working on a fix. We apologize for any inconvenience.

They're currently reporting an "incident" where their API incorrectly returns `2024` instead of `2025`, and provide incident status updates

This is brilliant. With its fair share of easter eggs, it's criticism that our industry deserves

Most people don't care about quality My friend, the photographer Paul Clarke has an uncanny eye for detail. Every single shot he publishes is beautiful - they capture life in a way that I don't have the language to describe. I'm quite content to point my phone at someone, use the default settings, and grab a snap. My photos lack composition, clarity, focus, mise-en-scène, proper lighting and a thousand-and-one details that I've never even thought of. Paul has published an essay about official photographs of politicians. In it, he …

For Maths fans, 2025 is a square.
45² = 45 x 45 = 2025
Also,
9² x 5² = 2025
40² + 20² + 5² = 2025
My favourite?
1³+2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³ = 2025
