260: The Todoyist Problem
01:00:00
◼
►
late for to-do item because you want to
[TS]
01:00:02
◼
►
do it at a particular time depending on
[TS]
01:00:03
◼
►
how you view things how many you just
[TS]
01:00:05
◼
►
use one calendar KC way to use I use a
[TS]
01:00:09
◼
►
shared Google Calendar that is off of my
[TS]
01:00:13
◼
►
gmail account that Aaron and I share and
[TS]
01:00:16
◼
►
that is the canonical family calendar
[TS]
01:00:20
◼
►
that being said anything that happens
[TS]
01:00:22
◼
►
during the workday or anything that for
[TS]
01:00:24
◼
►
some reason I don't want Aaron to see
[TS]
01:00:25
◼
►
like maybe I've booked a time to go buy
[TS]
01:00:27
◼
►
her a gift or something like that like
[TS]
01:00:29
◼
►
that's the only thing I can think of
[TS]
01:00:30
◼
►
that I wouldn't want her to see or maybe
[TS]
01:00:32
◼
►
something that's irrelevant to her that
[TS]
01:00:35
◼
►
goes on my work calendar just because
[TS]
01:00:37
◼
►
he's going to the Tesla dealership
[TS]
01:00:39
◼
►
exactly right how did you know but but
[TS]
01:00:43
◼
►
yes so basically the Google Calendar
[TS]
01:00:45
◼
►
that's associated with my gmail account
[TS]
01:00:47
◼
►
well strictly speaking my Google Apps
[TS]
01:00:49
◼
►
for my domain account that is a shared
[TS]
01:00:51
◼
►
calendar that that she has on her phone
[TS]
01:00:54
◼
►
that she has on her computer that's
[TS]
01:00:55
◼
►
everywhere that is the canonical list
[TS]
01:00:57
◼
►
family calendar and then anything that
[TS]
01:00:59
◼
►
is basically basically anything that
[TS]
01:01:01
◼
►
happens during the workday or for some
[TS]
01:01:03
◼
►
reason I don't want her to be burdened
[TS]
01:01:04
◼
►
with that is on my work calendar what is
[TS]
01:01:07
◼
►
your work calendar its Google Apps but
[TS]
01:01:11
◼
►
it's all Google yeah it's Google
[TS]
01:01:12
◼
►
everywhere so I also have a separate
[TS]
01:01:14
◼
►
work calendar it's not Google because my
[TS]
01:01:16
◼
►
work doesn't use Google at work out look
[TS]
01:01:20
◼
►
whatever exchange and I don't I think
[TS]
01:01:22
◼
►
that's split I like that split I like
[TS]
01:01:24
◼
►
not having my work calendar messed with
[TS]
01:01:25
◼
►
my family code most ago than my work
[TS]
01:01:27
◼
►
calendar is totally bonkers like is just
[TS]
01:01:30
◼
►
massively booked and oversubscribed and
[TS]
01:01:32
◼
►
I would never want that noise in my life
[TS]
01:01:33
◼
►
right and then the life calendar is less
[TS]
01:01:37
◼
►
and there's a split the market but it's
[TS]
01:01:39
◼
►
pretty much the same split that I use
[TS]
01:01:40
◼
►
like on the family calendar it's you
[TS]
01:01:44
◼
►
know podcast recording I would put
[TS]
01:01:48
◼
►
plumber on the calendar it would be an
[TS]
01:01:50
◼
►
all-day item and then reminders are if
[TS]
01:01:54
◼
►
I'm doing something off the normal
[TS]
01:01:56
◼
►
schedule I do put what I do put what
[TS]
01:01:59
◼
►
time I have to leave work on my work
[TS]
01:02:01
◼
►
calendar I do put what time I have to
[TS]
01:02:03
◼
►
leave home on my home calendar for days
[TS]
01:02:05
◼
►
where that is different than normal
[TS]
01:02:07
◼
►
right so if I have to write if I have a
[TS]
01:02:10
◼
►
very early meeting and I want to remind
[TS]
01:02:12
◼
►
myself don't
[TS]
01:02:13
◼
►
yet today you have a early meeting you
[TS]
01:02:14
◼
►
actually have to be working or earlier
[TS]
01:02:15
◼
►
than you normally are I put that on my
[TS]
01:02:17
◼
►
home calendar early in the morning and
[TS]
01:02:20
◼
►
if I have to leave work early to like a
[TS]
01:02:21
◼
►
parent-teacher conference I put that in
[TS]
01:02:23
◼
►
my work calendar which is weird like I
[TS]
01:02:24
◼
►
was thinking about for the to-do apps as
[TS]
01:02:26
◼
►
well and when I use reminders I'm a lot
[TS]
01:02:29
◼
►
of time I'm choosing a system based on
[TS]
01:02:31
◼
►
where I think I'll be when I'll need
[TS]
01:02:33
◼
►
this information and what I think I'll
[TS]
01:02:34
◼
►
be doing if I think my phone will be
[TS]
01:02:35
◼
►
with me reminders is a candidate because
[TS]
01:02:37
◼
►
that's where I'm gonna see it but if I
[TS]
01:02:38
◼
►
think I won't have my phone if I put in
[TS]
01:02:40
◼
►
reminders not gonna do me any good
[TS]
01:02:41
◼
►
you know if I'm if I'm someplace where I
[TS]
01:02:43
◼
►
don't have that and that's the homework
[TS]
01:02:46
◼
►
calendar split is I don't want to look
[TS]
01:02:48
◼
►
at my work calendar at home and I do
[TS]
01:02:50
◼
►
look at my home calendar at work which
[TS]
01:02:51
◼
►
you requires some combining of stuff but
[TS]
01:02:54
◼
►
for the to do stuff like marker said
[TS]
01:02:55
◼
►
with the multiple applications that are
[TS]
01:02:57
◼
►
you know task specific I just got done
[TS]
01:03:01
◼
►
asking for the ability to say like Oh
[TS]
01:03:03
◼
►
reminding you whatever and have you use
[TS]
01:03:04
◼
►
a single app the next logical step and
[TS]
01:03:06
◼
►
that is to have it understand you well
[TS]
01:03:08
◼
►
enough to know when you ask to add
[TS]
01:03:10
◼
►
something to your shopping list that it
[TS]
01:03:12
◼
►
means this Apple when you when you say
[TS]
01:03:14
◼
►
something about the trash it means that
[TS]
01:03:15
◼
►
app right these are all within the realm
[TS]
01:03:18
◼
►
of reason because these are a fairly
[TS]
01:03:20
◼
►
narrow problem demands and also within
[TS]
01:03:21
◼
►
the realm of you know Apple's favorite
[TS]
01:03:23
◼
►
thing machine learning where if you keep
[TS]
01:03:25
◼
►
talking about the trash it should
[TS]
01:03:27
◼
►
eventually like learn or ask you when
[TS]
01:03:28
◼
►
your actual trash day is and you should
[TS]
01:03:31
◼
►
be able to say increasingly offhand and
[TS]
01:03:34
◼
►
casual things which result in the
[TS]
01:03:37
◼
►
correct being reminded at the correct
[TS]
01:03:38
◼
►
time because it has some context in
[TS]
01:03:40
◼
►
history about what you've done in the
[TS]
01:03:41
◼
►
past we're not asking for how bind
[TS]
01:03:43
◼
►
thousand here I think all this is within
[TS]
01:03:46
◼
►
the grass but it's the stuff that
[TS]
01:03:47
◼
►
probably Google probably already knows
[TS]
01:03:49
◼
►
about us from like monitoring all our
[TS]
01:03:50
◼
►
activities through its various
[TS]
01:03:51
◼
►
applications and stuff I
[TS]
01:03:54
◼
►
I would love for those systems to get
[TS]
01:03:55
◼
►
just a little tiny bit smarter so Marco
[TS]
01:03:58
◼
►
how long until you write your own is
[TS]
01:04:00
◼
►
really what we all want to know that is
[TS]
01:04:03
◼
►
not an unreasonable question it would be
[TS]
01:04:06
◼
►
totally my style to get upset with all
[TS]
01:04:08
◼
►
the options and just write my own but
[TS]
01:04:10
◼
►
honestly I don't think that's going to
[TS]
01:04:13
◼
►
happen I you know there's first of all
[TS]
01:04:15
◼
►
there's limited time in the day and it's
[TS]
01:04:17
◼
►
a little bit of a crowded market perhaps
[TS]
01:04:19
◼
►
honestly it well it isn't because
[TS]
01:04:22
◼
►
there's only so many they're actually
[TS]
01:04:25
◼
►
but the
[TS]
01:04:26
◼
►
problem is that for this is kind of a
[TS]
01:04:28
◼
►
similar problem that that that you know
[TS]
01:04:30
◼
►
John Gruber and Brent Simmons and Dave
[TS]
01:04:31
◼
►
whiskas had with Vesper yeah is that to
[TS]
01:04:34
◼
►
enter this market in a competitive way
[TS]
01:04:37
◼
►
that's that's useful to a lot of people
[TS]
01:04:38
◼
►
you really need to be on like all of the
[TS]
01:04:41
◼
►
Apple platforms at once at launch and
[TS]
01:04:43
◼
►
that's really hard for any India to do
[TS]
01:04:46
◼
►
these days like I'm not gonna use as do
[TS]
01:04:49
◼
►
a to-do app that is not on my Mac and my
[TS]
01:04:53
◼
►
iPhone and my iPad and a lot of people
[TS]
01:04:56
◼
►
are also gonna need a watch app that's
[TS]
01:04:57
◼
►
getting really like the barrier is just
[TS]
01:05:00
◼
►
so high that it is certainly possible
[TS]
01:05:02
◼
►
for people to do it and there's gonna be
[TS]
01:05:04
◼
►
certainly some people who are totally
[TS]
01:05:06
◼
►
fine to have it say only on their phone
[TS]
01:05:08
◼
►
That's not me and that's not it's not
[TS]
01:05:10
◼
►
many people unfortunately and so in
[TS]
01:05:13
◼
►
order to make a good to do a that's
[TS]
01:05:14
◼
►
actually competitive you really need to
[TS]
01:05:17
◼
►
launch on all those platforms at once
[TS]
01:05:20
◼
►
and that's just really a massive amount
[TS]
01:05:24
◼
►
of work that I don't think I'm ever
[TS]
01:05:26
◼
►
gonna have
[TS]
01:05:27
◼
►
not only the bandwidth to do but also
[TS]
01:05:28
◼
►
like I don't have the passion for this
[TS]
01:05:30
◼
►
market at all I'm happy to use these
[TS]
01:05:33
◼
►
apps and talk about them once on a
[TS]
01:05:34
◼
►
podcast for 30 minutes but I really
[TS]
01:05:37
◼
►
don't think I'm going to fall in love
[TS]
01:05:39
◼
►
with to do app systems and suddenly want
[TS]
01:05:41
◼
►
to make my own enough to actually be
[TS]
01:05:45
◼
►
willing to devote the massive amount of
[TS]
01:05:47
◼
►
time it would take to make apps for all
[TS]
01:05:50
◼
►
these platforms to make it actually
[TS]
01:05:52
◼
►
so another this actually reduces the
[TS]
01:05:54
◼
►
amount of work but it does is a novel
[TS]
01:05:56
◼
►
approach to reducing the apparent
[TS]
01:05:58
◼
►
footprint on all the different platforms
[TS]
01:06:00
◼
►
is the approach that I think I think
[TS]
01:06:01
◼
►
Google is taking this approach I'm sure
[TS]
01:06:03
◼
►
other apps have done it as well where
[TS]
01:06:04
◼
►
you decide that the problem you're
[TS]
01:06:06
◼
►
solving well you know whatever ever is
[TS]
01:06:08
◼
►
to do laptops or whatever you're going
[TS]
01:06:10
◼
►
to implement that entirely server-side
[TS]
01:06:12
◼
►
and with some smart somewhere right and
[TS]
01:06:14
◼
►
that the interface to those smarts will
[TS]
01:06:17
◼
►
be something that is not directly
[TS]
01:06:20
◼
►
connected with a task so in the Google
[TS]
01:06:21
◼
►
in Google's case like I forget what is
[TS]
01:06:23
◼
►
it was it a low or something like they
[TS]
01:06:25
◼
►
basically had a chat app it's bubbles of
[TS]
01:06:27
◼
►
text it's you versus the thing you're
[TS]
01:06:28
◼
►
communicating with and that chat app can
[TS]
01:06:31
◼
►
be used to chat with any person or thing
[TS]
01:06:33
◼
►
there's nothing in the chat app that is
[TS]
01:06:35
◼
►
specific to the problem so you if you
[TS]
01:06:37
◼
►
have the chat app on all the different
[TS]
01:06:38
◼
►
platforms that
[TS]
01:06:39
◼
►
is on your watch it's on your phone it's
[TS]
01:06:41
◼
►
on your Mac or whatever you just write
[TS]
01:06:43
◼
►
that chat app once and then what you're
[TS]
01:06:44
◼
►
conversing with is a series of
[TS]
01:06:47
◼
►
intelligent agents that know how to do
[TS]
01:06:48
◼
►
certain kinds of things and so then you
[TS]
01:06:51
◼
►
implement your to-do app entirely
[TS]
01:06:52
◼
►
server-side and then when you want to do
[TS]
01:06:55
◼
►
your next app which is like you know a
[TS]
01:06:57
◼
►
shopping list it's the same sort of
[TS]
01:07:00
◼
►
interface with the chat type thing or
[TS]
01:07:02
◼
►
speaking or whatever like getting
[TS]
01:07:03
◼
►
getting closer to the idea of not
[TS]
01:07:05
◼
►
looking at pictures and screens and
[TS]
01:07:06
◼
►
poking in them but they're having sort
[TS]
01:07:08
◼
►
of an assistant in helps you with things
[TS]
01:07:09
◼
►
obviously writing the assistant is much
[TS]
01:07:11
◼
►
harder even harder than writing an
[TS]
01:07:13
◼
►
application for all the different
[TS]
01:07:14
◼
►
platforms but that is it's an
[TS]
01:07:16
◼
►
interesting approach to these kinds of
[TS]
01:07:18
◼
►
problems where you're never gonna make
[TS]
01:07:22
◼
►
one user interface or one way of
[TS]
01:07:23
◼
►
organizing that works best but if you
[TS]
01:07:25
◼
►
can make one kind of reasonably fake
[TS]
01:07:28
◼
►
intelligent agent that learns based on
[TS]
01:07:30
◼
►
your habits in some reasonable way it
[TS]
01:07:34
◼
►
could be you know it could be a better
[TS]
01:07:38
◼
►
actually a better experience to be able
[TS]
01:07:39
◼
►
to go back and forth the thing with over
[TS]
01:07:43
◼
►
text invoice and eventually it's sort of
[TS]
01:07:46
◼
►
like having your own very primitive
[TS]
01:07:50
◼
►
personal assistant who in the beginning
[TS]
01:07:52
◼
►
doesn't really know how you like things
[TS]
01:07:53
◼
►
done but eventually learns and that
[TS]
01:07:55
◼
►
could be better than any really nice
[TS]
01:07:57
◼
►
interface that you make on all the
[TS]
01:07:58
◼
►
different platforms and potentially
[TS]
01:08:00
◼
►
easier to maintain because once you've
[TS]
01:08:01
◼
►
mastered that interface whether it's
[TS]
01:08:02
◼
►
faceless talking or just like a chat
[TS]
01:08:04
◼
►
type interface you don't need to revisit
[TS]
01:08:06
◼
►
that that much another angle I
[TS]
01:08:08
◼
►
considered when I when I was thinking
[TS]
01:08:10
◼
►
like should I make my own one of these
[TS]
01:08:12
◼
►
or not is that the reminders like we've
[TS]
01:08:16
◼
►
seen a lot of apps over the last couple
[TS]
01:08:18
◼
►
years that are basically like better
[TS]
01:08:21
◼
►
interfaces to the built-in Apple
[TS]
01:08:25
◼
►
calendar fantastical is number one and
[TS]
01:08:28
◼
►
it's been and I use phantastic owl for
[TS]
01:08:30
◼
►
all of my event entry on the Mac but I
[TS]
01:08:33
◼
►
still use calendar for the for the
[TS]
01:08:34
◼
►
browsing of it but I use for the Xcode
[TS]
01:08:36
◼
►
for entry it's wonderful iCal or rather
[TS]
01:08:38
◼
►
calendar does have a somewhat
[TS]
01:08:42
◼
►
fantastical like natural language entry
[TS]
01:08:44
◼
►
field in recent versions of OS 10 sorry
[TS]
01:08:46
◼
►
if Mac OS but it's not nearly as good so
[TS]
01:08:49
◼
►
I don't use it but the same API exists
[TS]
01:08:53
◼
►
reminders database so one way someone
[TS]
01:08:56
◼
►
could tackle this market I don't know if
[TS]
01:08:57
◼
►
anybody has really in a serious way but
[TS]
01:09:00
◼
►
you could just make a nicer interface to
[TS]
01:09:03
◼
►
the built-in reminders database I don't
[TS]
01:09:06
◼
►
know what the limitations that would be
[TS]
01:09:08
◼
►
I'm sure it's not gonna be nearly as
[TS]
01:09:10
◼
►
full-featured as if you make your own
[TS]
01:09:12
◼
►
database and run your own service but
[TS]
01:09:14
◼
►
that is one way you could do this where
[TS]
01:09:16
◼
►
like if you first just tackle like just
[TS]
01:09:19
◼
►
the Mac first or just iOS first with our
[TS]
01:09:21
◼
►
really nice interface to the reminders
[TS]
01:09:23
◼
►
database maybe that's the way you could
[TS]
01:09:25
◼
►
do it more incrementally but again this
[TS]
01:09:27
◼
►
is not this is not a market that I feel
[TS]
01:09:29
◼
►
passionate enough about to spend my time
[TS]
01:09:32
◼
►
on and unfortunately if you wanted to be
[TS]
01:09:35
◼
►
differentiated in this market which I
[TS]
01:09:36
◼
►
still think is crowded yes there are the
[TS]
01:09:38
◼
►
good ones but there is such a long tail
[TS]
01:09:40
◼
►
of mediocre to bad ones that someone
[TS]
01:09:42
◼
►
somewhere loves right I'm sure because
[TS]
01:09:45
◼
►
the tail is so long that someone has
[TS]
01:09:47
◼
►
already done this but when you were
[TS]
01:09:48
◼
►
talking about and when other people talk
[TS]
01:09:49
◼
►
about these a million to do apps and how
[TS]
01:09:51
◼
►
they do one thing you like but not some
[TS]
01:09:52
◼
►
other thing or whatever I'm always
[TS]
01:09:53
◼
►
reminded of the calculator Construction
[TS]
01:09:54
◼
►
Set sorry about Steve Jobs worth the
[TS]
01:09:58
◼
►
calculator app wasn't quite to his
[TS]
01:09:59
◼
►
liking and the developer was tired of
[TS]
01:10:02
◼
►
hearing him say you know this should be
[TS]
01:10:03
◼
►
like that it just basically made away
[TS]
01:10:05
◼
►
here's Steve you can arrange the buttons
[TS]
01:10:07
◼
►
and size them and like you build the
[TS]
01:10:09
◼
►
calculator that you want so instead of a
[TS]
01:10:11
◼
►
to-do app maker you say well this person
[TS]
01:10:13
◼
►
says they want this but that person said
[TS]
01:10:14
◼
►
they always want that and they want this
[TS]
01:10:15
◼
►
too many demands here you make the to-do
[TS]
01:10:17
◼
►
app you want so if you can make it to do
[TS]
01:10:19
◼
►
app construction kit there was an app
[TS]
01:10:20
◼
►
that gave you the tools to build the app
[TS]
01:10:23
◼
►
that you wanted I mean that maybe that's
[TS]
01:10:25
◼
►
what I'm the focus is and that's what
[TS]
01:10:26
◼
►
marco was recoiling from because it was
[TS]
01:10:28
◼
►
just too darn complicated but I think
[TS]
01:10:29
◼
►
army focus does have at least some point
[TS]
01:10:31
◼
►
of view about what you're doing but if
[TS]
01:10:32
◼
►
you really made a construction kit for
[TS]
01:10:34
◼
►
to do apps where and again I started
[TS]
01:10:36
◼
►
thinking of agents like I don't want to
[TS]
01:10:37
◼
►
get him to a program really quick and
[TS]
01:10:40
◼
►
that just narrows your market to nothing
[TS]
01:10:41
◼
►
cuz no one wants to even do some kind of
[TS]
01:10:43
◼
►
simple programming but if I could
[TS]
01:10:45
◼
►
converse with the application and
[TS]
01:10:47
◼
►
negotiate how things are gonna work you
[TS]
01:10:50
◼
►
know do you want me to remind you once
[TS]
01:10:52
◼
►
you do you always want you me to keep
[TS]
01:10:53
◼
►
reminding you like then the nagging
[TS]
01:10:55
◼
►
thing the case he was talking about you
[TS]
01:10:57
◼
►
know most of the time what do you want
[TS]
01:10:59
◼
►
okay do you want to see all the things
[TS]
01:11:02
◼
►
that are coming up and today or dress
[TS]
01:11:03
◼
►
the things that are due in the next time
[TS]
01:11:04
◼
►
window or like just
[TS]
01:11:06
◼
►
sort of go through the process of
[TS]
01:11:09
◼
►
building the app it's view again that
[TS]
01:11:10
◼
►
would be astronomically hard to make but
[TS]
01:11:12
◼
►
I think it would be I'm assuming it
[TS]
01:11:15
◼
►
would be relatively novel in the market
[TS]
01:11:19
◼
►
because having heard many many dozens of
[TS]
01:11:21
◼
►
hours if people saw you about to do
[TS]
01:11:22
◼
►
absent podcast I have yet to hear
[TS]
01:11:24
◼
►
someone say I tried this construction
[TS]
01:11:25
◼
►
kid and it was terrible so if it doesn't
[TS]
01:11:28
◼
►
guess maybe it's so far in the long tail
[TS]
01:11:29

and no one's even seen it we respond to

I think of that
[TS]

anyway he or she writes kc do you miss
[TS]
01:13:09
◼

this C sharp and dotnet development
[TS]
01:13:11
◼
►
stack I'm taking my computer engineer
[TS]
01:13:13
◼
►
Bachelor degree and I must say that I
[TS]
01:13:15
◼
►
enjoy very much I also like c-sharp much
[TS]
01:13:17
◼
►
better than Swift although I've spent
[TS]
01:13:18
◼
►
more time coding in Swift maybe I'm just
[TS]
01:13:20
◼
►
feeling in Xcode versus Visual Studio
[TS]
01:13:22
◼
►
effects so I miss c-sharp and that's
[TS]
01:13:27
◼
►
about it
[TS]
01:13:28
◼
►
ed dotnet is fine whatever
[TS]
01:13:31
◼
►
like it's good I guess but to me it's
[TS]
01:13:35
◼
►
just a vehicle to give me C sharp
[TS]
01:13:37
◼
►
I do miss C sharp I love Swift I really
[TS]
01:13:41
◼
►
honestly do love Swift
[TS]
01:13:42
◼
►
I like Swift quite a lot but C sharp
[TS]
01:13:46
◼
►
does I've probably said this before on
[TS]
01:13:48
◼
►
the show C sharp does a stunningly good
[TS]
01:13:52
◼
►
job of being all things to all people if
[TS]
01:13:56
◼
►
you want to write sort of kind of
[TS]
01:13:59
◼
►
functional programming and yes I'm aware
[TS]
01:14:01
◼
►
that there's f sharp but like if you
[TS]
01:14:03
◼
►
want to get halfway to functional
[TS]
01:14:04
◼
►
programming you can do that with C sharp
[TS]
01:14:05
◼
►
if you want to write kind of basic
[TS]
01:14:08
◼
►
boring procedural stuff you can do that
[TS]
01:14:11
◼
►
with C sharp if you want to write super
[TS]
01:14:12
◼
►
object-oriented stuff you can do that
[TS]
01:14:14
◼
►
with C sharp and I know that the C sharp
[TS]
01:14:16
◼
►
is not the only language that all this
[TS]
01:14:18
◼
►
applies to I'm waiting for John to jump
[TS]
01:14:19
◼
►
in and talk about pearl but C sharp does
[TS]
01:14:22
◼
►
a really good job of being just about
[TS]
01:14:24
◼
►
anything to anyone and I do miss xishi
[TS]
01:14:26
◼
►
sharp a lot I am I don't really mind X
[TS]
01:14:31
◼
►
code which means one of a couple things
[TS]
01:14:34
◼
►
it means either I'm still a noob which
[TS]
01:14:36
◼
►
is possible it means either I just
[TS]
01:14:38
◼
►
haven't been burned by it which is semi
[TS]
01:14:41
◼
►
true or it means I'm an idiot which is
[TS]
01:14:43
◼
►
possible as well but in the same way
[TS]
01:14:47
◼
►
that everyone else seems to complain and
[TS]
01:14:49
◼
►
moan about X code like I don't really
[TS]
01:14:51
◼
►
mind it and maybe it's because Visual
[TS]
01:14:55
◼
►
Studio well great in many ways is
[TS]
01:14:57
◼
►
aesthetically an assault on my eyes and
[TS]
01:15:01
◼
►
Xcode for all of its faults Xcode does
[TS]
01:15:04
◼
►
one thing very well and that's be very
[TS]
01:15:07
◼
►
very pretty Marco you said something
[TS]
01:15:08
◼
►
earlier about you know hey I'm a Mac
[TS]
01:15:09
◼
►
user and I'm an apple person so I like
[TS]
01:15:12
◼
►
things to be pretty or well designed I
[TS]
01:15:14
◼
►
forget how you phrased it earlier but
[TS]
01:15:15
◼
►
yeah it's it's that right like Xcode is
[TS]
01:15:19
◼
►
painful in some ways but a it is and
[TS]
01:15:23
◼
►
forever will be better than eclipse
[TS]
01:15:25
◼
►
don't email me and B it is it is not
[TS]
01:15:30
◼
►
that bad in my personal opinion now if
[TS]
01:15:33
◼
►
you want to talk about
[TS]
01:15:34
◼
►
Swift like code completion what is its
[TS]
01:15:36
◼
►
source kit is that what I'm thinking of
[TS]
01:15:37
◼
►
like source kit is at an utter disaster
[TS]
01:15:39
◼
►
but Xcode itself it's not bad and I like
[TS]
01:15:44
◼
►
it and do I miss Visual Studio no not
[TS]
01:15:47
◼
►
and holy hell do I not miss anything
[TS]
01:15:51
◼
►
related to Windows nothing about Windows
[TS]
01:15:54
◼
►
is something I miss or long for I am so
[TS]
01:15:58
◼
►
unbelievably thankful to be off Windows
[TS]
01:16:01
◼
►
I cannot even verbalize it I am so
[TS]
01:16:04
◼
►
thankful to be away from that so I miss
[TS]
01:16:08
◼
►
C sharp net whatever it's something that
[TS]
01:16:10
◼
►
gives me C sharp Visual Studio me
[TS]
01:16:13
◼
►
windows hell no I don't miss it
[TS]
01:16:16
◼
►
right David steer asks the next time you
[TS]
01:16:18
◼
►
discuss single versus multi thread
[TS]
01:16:20
◼
►
processing would it be possible to give
[TS]
01:16:21
◼
►
it a couple of real-world examples of
[TS]
01:16:23
◼
►
tasks or applications that perform
[TS]
01:16:24
◼
►
better in each process I love the show
[TS]
01:16:27
◼
►
but a mother technical and sometimes I
[TS]
01:16:29
◼
►
struggled to and sometimes struggled to
[TS]
01:16:31
◼
►
give context to your discussions trying
[TS]
01:16:33
◼
►
to figure out exactly what is being
[TS]
01:16:35
◼
►
asked here because one way to read it is
[TS]
01:16:40
◼
►
like what types of things benefit from
[TS]
01:16:42
◼
►
multiple threads and that's getting into
[TS]
01:16:44
◼
►
the Marco zone of like look if you're
[TS]
01:16:45
◼
►
doing this type of task and you got a
[TS]
01:16:47
◼
►
10-car Mac Pro you'll see a big benefit
[TS]
01:16:48
◼
►
a Mac Pro but if you're doing this kind
[TS]
01:16:50
◼
►
of task you're not going to see a
[TS]
01:16:52
◼
►
benefit because it's not you know it
[TS]
01:16:54
◼
►
doesn't use multiple cores and the and
[TS]
01:16:56
◼
►
which tests those are really depends on
[TS]
01:16:58
◼
►
a lot of factors including just like
[TS]
01:17:00
◼
►
what the application is like I think
[TS]
01:17:01
◼
►
Final Cut Pro 10 wasn't particularly
[TS]
01:17:03
◼
►
strong at multi-threading until recently
[TS]
01:17:05
◼
►
so but that doesn't mean video
[TS]
01:17:07
◼
►
processing does or doesn't benefit
[TS]
01:17:08
◼
►
multi-threading
[TS]
01:17:09
◼
►
the other way to think about this
[TS]
01:17:10
◼
►
question is they're asking like what
[TS]
01:17:14
◼
►
makes something a problem to which you
[TS]
01:17:17
◼
►
can apply some parallelism beyond like
[TS]
01:17:23
◼
►
you know any kind of parallelism or like
[TS]
01:17:25
◼
►
degrees of parallelism I think that's I
[TS]
01:17:27
◼
►
think that's probably closer to the
[TS]
01:17:29
◼
►
answer so I'm going to try to give a
[TS]
01:17:32
◼
►
non-technical explanation it's best I
[TS]
01:17:35
◼
►
can do this so doing stuff in parallel
[TS]
01:17:39
◼
►
requires a problem where you can break
[TS]
01:17:43
◼
►
it up into pieces and that the pieces
[TS]
01:17:45
◼
►
don't have dependencies between them or
[TS]
01:17:47
◼
►
have a lot of dependencies between the
[TS]
01:17:50
◼
►
obvious example that comes up a lot is
[TS]
01:17:53
◼
►
almost anything having to do with
[TS]
01:17:55
◼
►
graphics processing where you've got a
[TS]
01:17:58
◼
►
lot of dots on your screen and for the
[TS]
01:18:00
◼
►
most part dots may depend on their
[TS]
01:18:02
◼
►
neighboring dots but they don't depend
[TS]
01:18:04
◼

so if you're taking an entire image and
[TS]
01:18:07
◼
►
blurring it you can break that image up
[TS]
01:18:09
◼
►
into a bunch of smaller pieces dole out
[TS]
01:18:11
◼
►
those pieces to a bunch of things that
[TS]
01:18:14
◼
►
are gonna work on them all at the same
[TS]
01:18:15
◼
►
time and then put the pieces back
[TS]
01:18:16
◼
►
together at the end lots of graphics
[TS]
01:18:19
◼
►
cards do exactly that for you know
[TS]
01:18:22
◼
►
tiling processing but in general just
[TS]
01:18:23
◼
►
the giant array of pixels
[TS]
01:18:25
◼
►
they are worked on as much as possible
[TS]
01:18:28
◼

in parallel by your graphics card
[TS]
01:18:30
◼

there's probably a Wikipedia page on
[TS]
01:18:31
◼
►
this expression but there is a term of
[TS]
01:18:33
◼
►
art in the computer science world called
[TS]
01:18:34
◼
►
embarrassingly parallel problems where
[TS]
01:18:37
◼
►
it is so easy to parallel eyes because
[TS]
01:18:39
◼
►
you can break it up and do as many
[TS]
01:18:40
◼
►
chunks is you want and there are a lot
[TS]
01:18:42
◼
►
of chunks and so it's like look if you
[TS]
01:18:44
◼
►
gave me a million processors this
[TS]
01:18:46
◼
►
problem is embarrassingly parallel I
[TS]
01:18:48
◼
►
could break it up into a million pieces
[TS]
01:18:50
◼
►
and do them all at once and it would be
[TS]
01:18:52
◼
►
a million times faster than doing them
[TS]
01:18:54
◼
►
one at a time right you know assuming
[TS]
01:18:57
◼
►
the thing is processes at the same time
[TS]
01:18:58
◼
►
so whether something performs in
[TS]
01:19:02
◼
►
parallelize is based on sort of the
[TS]
01:19:04
◼
►
nature of the problem there are problems
[TS]
01:19:06
◼
►
that you can't do in parallel because
[TS]
01:19:08
◼
►
the to do step one to do step two you
[TS]
01:19:12
◼
►
need the answer from step one to do step
[TS]
01:19:14
◼
►
three you need the answer for step two
[TS]
01:19:15
◼
►
so you can't break you can't do steps
[TS]
01:19:17
◼
►
one two and three all at the same time
[TS]
01:19:18
◼
►
and so that's the high level computer
[TS]
01:19:22
◼
►
size the explanation you can apply your
[TS]
01:19:24
◼
►
basic reasoning about things to try to
[TS]
01:19:27
◼
►
discover whether a particular problem
[TS]
01:19:29
◼
►
you're having is parallelizable in any
[TS]
01:19:34
◼
►
way is it embarrassingly parallel
[TS]
01:19:36
◼
►
izybelle
[TS]
01:19:37
◼
►
or is it generally serial by nature but
[TS]
01:19:42
◼
►
that's when we get into the complexity
[TS]
01:19:43
◼
►
is like well this problem is
[TS]
01:19:44
◼
►
parallelizable say mp3 encoding but it
[TS]
01:19:46
◼
►
turns out the mp3 encoder I have doesn't
[TS]
01:19:49
◼
►
do anything in parallel it just does it
[TS]
01:19:51
◼
►
from the beginning to the end and that's
[TS]
01:19:53
◼
►
where marco said well I can it's not
[TS]
01:19:54
◼
►
embarrassingly parallel but I can break
[TS]
01:19:56
◼
►
this audio track up into five pieces and
[TS]
01:19:59
◼
►
encode all five at the same time
[TS]
01:20:01
◼
►
and then put the five pieces back
[TS]
01:20:02
◼
►
together and now I've done it five times
[TS]
01:20:04
◼
►
faster right you can't break it up into
[TS]
01:20:06
◼
►
a billion pieces because at a certain
[TS]
01:20:08
◼
►
point you're doing I don't know what the
[TS]
01:20:10
◼
►
size is Marco would know if like a
[TS]
01:20:11
◼
►
single frame or whatever that 1,200
[TS]
01:20:13
◼
►
samples
[TS]
01:20:13
◼
►
yeah like there there is some you know
[TS]
01:20:15
◼
►
some unit size that beyond which you
[TS]
01:20:17
◼
►
don't get any benefit but that's an
[TS]
01:20:20
◼
►
example where the problem itself is
[TS]
01:20:22
◼
►
parallelizable but the but you can say
[TS]
01:20:24
◼
►
if I buy a faster computer my mp3
[TS]
01:20:26
◼
►
encoding will be faster not if you're
[TS]
01:20:28
◼
►
using an unparalleled mp3 encoder it
[TS]
01:20:30
◼
►
won't so it gets a little bit
[TS]
01:20:32
◼
►
complicated okay see you want to try a
[TS]
01:20:33
◼
►
different angle yeah so what I've been
[TS]
01:20:36
◼
►
working on lately is this thing where I
[TS]
01:20:38
◼
►
have a folder full of photographs right
[TS]
01:20:41
◼
►
or there may be live photos so it's a
[TS]
01:20:43
◼
►
photograph in and a movie and I want to
[TS]
01:20:47
◼
►
file them away in a particular way and
[TS]
01:20:50
◼
►
what I've run into is some of this is
[TS]
01:20:53
◼
►
parallelizable and some of the some of
[TS]
01:20:54
◼
►
it is not so if you think about it
[TS]
01:20:57
◼
►
anytime that I have a any photo that
[TS]
01:21:02
◼
►
doesn't share a date so if for example
[TS]
01:21:04
◼
►
on on today which is the 7th of February
[TS]
01:21:07
◼
►
I take only one photograph with my
[TS]
01:21:10
◼
►
iPhone I can without worrying about a
[TS]
01:21:15
◼
►
conflict I can just copy that to where I
[TS]
01:21:18
◼
►
want it to go right because without
[TS]
01:21:21
◼
►
worrying about a conflict with any other
[TS]
01:21:22
◼
►
photos taken from my iPhone I can copy
[TS]
01:21:24
◼
►
it to where I want it to go but if I
[TS]
01:21:26
◼
►
take 15 or if I took 15 photos yesterday
[TS]
01:21:29
◼
►
it's possible that maybe some of those
[TS]
01:21:32
◼
►
were taken at the same hour minute and
[TS]
01:21:33
◼
►
second maybe I did a burst or something
[TS]
01:21:35
◼
►
like that and so some of this is
[TS]
01:21:37
◼
►
paralyzed of parallelizable in some of
[TS]
01:21:40
◼
►
it is not I've met when I was relisting
[TS]
01:21:43
◼
►
last week's episode I meant to talk to
[TS]
01:21:45
◼
►
you more about how you're gonna resolve
[TS]
01:21:46
◼
►
your race condition and how you said my
[TS]
01:21:47
◼
►
thing is bug-free except for the massive
[TS]
01:21:48
◼
►
reason that's not bug free I mean you
[TS]
01:21:52
◼
►
could you could parallelize by day what
[TS]
01:21:55
◼
►
I've what I was trying to explain and I
[TS]
01:21:57
◼
►
think I've done a poor job of it and
[TS]
01:21:58
◼
►
that's why I want it to be cut is that
[TS]
01:21:59
◼
►
if if in the batch of photos that I have
[TS]
01:22:02
◼
►
I have no conflicts in terms of date so
[TS]
01:22:09
◼
►
the hour minute and second is unique all
[TS]
01:22:11
◼
►
of the photos or movies or
[TS]
01:22:14
◼
►
all the media that has a unique hour
[TS]
01:22:17
◼
►
minute and second can be processed in
[TS]
01:22:21
◼
►
parallel so that is to say it may have a
[TS]
01:22:24
◼
►
conflict in the tour in the destination
[TS]
01:22:26
◼
►
but it doesn't have a tart or it doesn't
[TS]
01:22:28
◼
►
have a conflict amongst its peers that
[TS]
01:22:31
◼
►
I'm doing that that are being imported
[TS]
01:22:33
◼
►
that does that make any sense at all so
[TS]
01:22:35
◼
►
it does yeah but I'm honestly I'm kind
[TS]
01:22:38
◼
►
of wondering like does this problem
[TS]
01:22:40
◼
►
benefit from parallelization like it
[TS]
01:22:42
◼
►
seems like it's pretty fast to just dump
[TS]
01:22:46
◼
►
the files serially so here's the thing
[TS]
01:22:48
◼
►
the problem with the the reason I think
[TS]
01:22:50
◼
►
it may benefit from parallelization is
[TS]
01:22:52
◼
►
that there's two different things at
[TS]
01:22:54
◼
►
play number one let's say that I took a
[TS]
01:22:57
◼
►
photo at exactly noon today just for the
[TS]
01:23:01
◼
►
sake of discussion I took a photo at
[TS]
01:23:02
◼
►
exactly noon today and it turns out that
[TS]
01:23:05
◼
►
the destination so my photo repository
[TS]
01:23:09
◼
►
that has every photograph I've ever
[TS]
01:23:10
◼
►
taken also already has by some mechanism
[TS]
01:23:14
◼
►
don't worry about why but let's just say
[TS]
01:23:16
◼
►
it already has a photo that was taken at
[TS]
01:23:19
◼
►
exactly noon today at 12 o'clock at 0
[TS]
01:23:21
◼
►
minutes and 0 seconds one of the things
[TS]
01:23:24
◼
►
that my app is going to do is it is it's
[TS]
01:23:27
◼
►
going to say hey let me take an md5 of
[TS]
01:23:31
◼
►
the source that I'm trying to import and
[TS]
01:23:33
◼
►
of the thing that's already at the
[TS]
01:23:34
◼
►
target and if the md5 is the same then I
[TS]
01:23:38
◼
►
need to take like evasive action so to
[TS]
01:23:40
◼
►
speak so I need to increment the the
[TS]
01:23:43
◼
►
fire I need to add a suffix to the
[TS]
01:23:44
◼
►
imported file name so instead of being
[TS]
01:23:46
◼
►
2018 - o - - o 7 space 12 - oo - oo the
[TS]
01:23:53
◼
►
imported file will be all of that with
[TS]
01:23:55
◼
►
an A at the end the letter A at the end
[TS]
01:23:57
◼
►
because they're two different files well
[TS]
01:23:59
◼
►
if you're doing that across a whole
[TS]
01:24:01
◼
►
bunch of files at once which presumably
[TS]
01:24:03
◼
►
I am that may be well-served to be
[TS]
01:24:06
◼
►
parallelized because on an average
[TS]
01:24:08
◼
►
modern processor you have at least two
[TS]
01:24:11
◼
►
if not four or six or eight or ten or
[TS]
01:24:14
◼
►
twelve or 18 cores which are all working
[TS]
01:24:16
◼
►
simultaneously to solve problems and so
[TS]
01:24:19
◼
►
it makes sense to split this same kind
[TS]
01:24:23
◼
►
of operation across all or at least some
[TS]
01:24:26
◼
►
of these cores
[TS]
01:24:27
◼
►
where it doesn't make sense to split it
[TS]
01:24:30
◼
►
is if I have multiple pictures that were
[TS]
01:24:33
◼
►
taken at 12 o'clock in 0 seconds because
[TS]
01:24:35
◼
►
then I can get into this race condition
[TS]
01:24:38
◼
►
that I found earlier which is to say the
[TS]
01:24:41
◼
►
the the first photo that I'm processing
[TS]
01:24:44
◼
►
looks at the target and says oh there's
[TS]
01:24:47
◼
►
nothing there and starts the copy the
[TS]
01:24:50
◼
►
second photo that I'm processing looks
[TS]
01:24:53
◼
►
at the target and says oh there's
[TS]
01:24:54
◼
►
nothing there and tries to start the
[TS]
01:24:56
◼
►
copy but then they collide with each
[TS]
01:24:57
◼
►
other and that's the problem that I was
[TS]
01:24:59
◼
►
running into before and that's in I'm
[TS]
01:25:01
◼
►
solving it now by parallelizing anything
[TS]
01:25:04
◼
►
that doesn't have an internal conflict
[TS]
01:25:06
◼
►
because even if it has a conflict at the
[TS]
01:25:07
◼
►
target that's fine it doesn't matter I
[TS]
01:25:10
◼
►
can still parallelize it but if it has
[TS]
01:25:13
◼
►
an internal conflict then then then I
[TS]
01:25:16
◼
►
have a problem and so anything that
[TS]
01:25:19
◼
►
doesn't have an internal conflict can be
[TS]
01:25:20
◼
►
parallelized anything that has an
[TS]
01:25:22
◼
►
internal conflict will be serialized so
[TS]
01:25:24
◼
►
what if you in parallel read the input
[TS]
01:25:27
◼
►
files get there get whatever date and
[TS]
01:25:30
◼
►
timestamp buckets they belong to and
[TS]
01:25:32
◼
►
stuff all that into an array then in
[TS]
01:25:35
◼
►
then serially just have a thing run
[TS]
01:25:37
◼
►
through that array look for the
[TS]
01:25:38
◼
►
conflicts resolve them and do all the
[TS]
01:25:40
◼
►
renaming serially because like that's
[TS]
01:25:41
◼
►
gonna be like that's gonna be so fast
[TS]
01:25:43
◼
►
anyway like you're really just relying
[TS]
01:25:44
◼
►
on the file system speed at that point
[TS]
01:25:46
◼
►
yes but no but the thing that I haven't
[TS]
01:25:49
◼
►
mentioned and I have made I I alluded to
[TS]
01:25:51
◼
►
this earlier than never actually put a
[TS]
01:25:53
◼
►
period on the sentence the thing that I
[TS]
01:25:55
◼
►
haven't mentioned is that my target for
[TS]
01:25:57
◼
►
all of these image and also movie files
[TS]
01:26:00
◼
►
my target is actually my Synology so
[TS]
01:26:03
◼
►
it's not the local file system I have to
[TS]
01:26:05
◼
►
crawl across the network to do all of
[TS]
01:26:07
◼
►
these check sums and to figure out if
[TS]
01:26:11
◼
►
these files are identical or not and
[TS]
01:26:12
◼
►
some of these video setup that I'm
[TS]
01:26:14
◼
►
taking I mean like like five or ten
[TS]
01:26:16
◼
►
minutes of 4k video off the iPhone is
[TS]
01:26:18
◼
►
multiple gigabytes so if it a rename
[TS]
01:26:21
◼
►
should be quick right isn't that what a
[TS]
01:26:24
◼
►
well you could import it somewhere first
[TS]
01:26:26
◼
►
then do a rename later it really fast
[TS]
01:26:28
◼
►
yes but what again what I'm what my
[TS]
01:26:30
◼
►
process is that I'm saying hey I found a
[TS]
01:26:35
◼
►
identically named file at the
[TS]
01:26:37
◼
►
destination which in my case happens to
[TS]
01:26:39
◼
►
be a Synology so I need two MD
[TS]
01:26:41
◼
►
five both the local file that is on my
[TS]
01:26:43
◼
►
local file system are at worst on an SD
[TS]
01:26:45
◼
►
card attached to my physical computer
[TS]
01:26:47
◼
►
but I also need to do an md5 on the
[TS]
01:26:50
◼
►
remote file that's on the Synology and
[TS]
01:26:52
◼
►
that can take forever and that's why I
[TS]
01:26:53
◼
►
want to paralyze it so anything that has
[TS]
01:26:56
◼
►
a conflict
[TS]
01:26:56
◼
►
I want to parallel eyes anything that
[TS]
01:26:59
◼
►
I'm sorry anything that doesn't have a
[TS]
01:27:02
◼
►
conflict internally anything that that I
[TS]
01:27:05
◼
►
know will not collide with any of the
[TS]
01:27:08
◼
►
other files I'm importing that can be
[TS]
01:27:10
◼
►
parallelized it's the the what I worry
[TS]
01:27:12
◼
►
about is if I have 15 files on my SD
[TS]
01:27:15
◼
►
card that we're all taken at twelve
[TS]
01:27:17
◼
►
o'clock in 0 seconds that's what I need
[TS]
01:27:20
◼
►
to do it serially because otherwise I
[TS]
01:27:21
◼
►
run into a situation where I say oh just
[TS]
01:27:23
◼
►
the target that makes sense but so but
[TS]
01:27:25
◼
►
like what when when something is slow in
[TS]
01:27:28
◼
►
this case it's probably being limited by
[TS]
01:27:30
◼
►
like the transfer bandwidth of the SD
[TS]
01:27:33
◼

actually get you anything or is it just
[TS]
01:27:40

clog it up and make everything run you
[TS]

know like where you can run ten things

at 1/10 the speed each he's already

that he's gonna point out that your race

condition which is if something's okay

and then go do the thing and while

you're going to do the thing something
[TS]

that you check was okay is right so my
[TS]

suggestion for a strategy for dealing
[TS]
01:28:01

with this that doesn't involve
[TS]
01:28:02
◼

serializing any portion of it is to use
[TS]
01:28:05
◼
►
what other past technologies have used
[TS]
01:28:08
◼
►
including unix and in this specific case
[TS]
01:28:10
◼
►
Ethernet you want carrier sense multiple
[TS]
01:28:12
◼
►
access with collision detection it's
[TS]
01:28:15
◼
►
kind of getting it what a marker always
[TS]
01:28:16
◼
►
saying don't do everything in parallel
[TS]
01:28:19
◼
►
you just need some kind of remotely
[TS]
01:28:21
◼
►
atomic operation and even with an ass if
[TS]
01:28:24
◼
►
you can get the stuff on to the nasa and
[TS]
01:28:25
◼
►
do a rename local to the nasa hopefully
[TS]
01:28:27
◼
►
you can get atomic renames and then you
[TS]
01:28:31
◼
►
just try to do your rename and if your
[TS]
01:28:33
◼
►
name fails because the file exists you
[TS]
01:28:35
◼
►
increment it and then you try to do the
[TS]
01:28:37
◼
►
rename again and you do binding
[TS]
01:28:38
◼
►
exponential back-off and you just let
[TS]
01:28:40
◼
►
all the parallel things fight it out and
[TS]
01:28:42
◼
►
because there is no inherent order to
[TS]
01:28:44
◼
►
things that are literally you don't have
[TS]
01:28:45
◼
►
any increased resolution if you did
[TS]
01:28:46
◼
►
you'd put it in the file name right
[TS]
01:28:48
◼
►
there's no inherent order to the new and
[TS]
01:28:50
◼
►
pictures right they're all just new in
[TS]
01:28:52
◼
►
pictures mmm so let me Duke it out you
[TS]
01:28:55
◼
►
no no locks no shared state no wig no
[TS]
01:28:58
◼
►
serialization and you'd be surprised at
[TS]
01:29:01
◼
►
how nicely things terminate because this
[TS]
01:29:03
◼
►
is the network's it tries and if the
[TS]
01:29:05
◼
►
line is busy it weights a little bit and
[TS]
01:29:06
◼
►
tries again if it's still busy awaits a
[TS]
01:29:08
◼
►
little bit longer and tries again and
[TS]
01:29:09
◼
►
everything works yeah but there is a bit
[TS]
01:29:13
◼
►
of an inherent order right because the
[TS]
01:29:15
◼
►
source file name is like IMG underscore
[TS]
01:29:18
◼
►
1 1 1 1 IMG underscore 1 are you tell me
[TS]
01:29:22
◼
►
about that so why aren't you using that
[TS]
01:29:23
◼
►
as your tiebreaker
[TS]
01:29:24
◼
►
yeah wait you have sequential name from
[TS]
01:29:25
◼
►
the in the source that doesn't that
[TS]
01:29:28
◼
►
totally solve your problem well that's
[TS]
01:29:30
◼
►
why I'm running the collision that the
[TS]
01:29:32
◼
►
potential collision stuff serially
[TS]
01:29:34
◼
►
that's exactly why I'm running it
[TS]
01:29:35
◼
►
serially so I'm guaranteed you've
[TS]
01:29:37
◼
►
already got you you've already got a
[TS]
01:29:39
◼
►
unique unique a fire that you'll never
[TS]
01:29:42
◼
►
have a collision because you've got the
[TS]
01:29:43
◼
►
date you're doing the import and you've
[TS]
01:29:45
◼
►
got a sequence number
[TS]
01:29:46
◼
►
yeah what's what's the problem he
[TS]
01:29:48
◼
►
doesn't want to put two dates in the
[TS]
01:29:49
◼
►
final menses problem it's too much too
[TS]
01:29:51
◼
►
much of an aesthetic is this happening
[TS]
01:29:53
◼
►
in these file names there no you're
[TS]
01:29:54
◼
►
right because I want it to be you know
[TS]
01:29:56
◼
►
2018 most 2018 Oh 207 people are using a
[TS]
01:30:00
◼
►
and B do you go to a a and then a B and
[TS]
01:30:03
◼
►
then a see the you think oh ay ay ay ay
[TS]
01:30:06
◼
►
I've never run into a situation when
[TS]
01:30:09
◼
►
that's a problem but I understand your
[TS]
01:30:10
◼
►
point and there's another another bug
[TS]
01:30:12
◼
►
free program that you'll never be more
[TS]
01:30:13
◼
►
than 26 conflicts you sir you are why I
[TS]
01:30:18
◼

will never open source yes when the
[TS]
01:30:20
◼
►
iPhone 15 shoots shoots like you know 30
[TS]
01:30:23
◼
►
frame per second burst photos you're
[TS]
01:30:26
◼
►
gonna have a problem I think the problem
[TS]
01:30:28
◼
►
is that you're not an old and crusty
[TS]
01:30:29
◼
►
enough programmer is always fine and I'm
[TS]
01:30:33
◼
►
like do we need to use unsigned 256 bit
[TS]
01:30:42
◼
►
something that briefly touched on like
[TS]
01:30:44
◼
►
source code to like one of those Bitcoin
[TS]
01:30:45
◼
►
or some other cryptocurrency and they
[TS]
01:30:48
◼
►
were literally using like that I'd never
[TS]
01:30:49
◼
►
seen it in like seed like the the you
[TS]
01:30:52
◼
►
256 type for like for one of their
[TS]
01:30:54
◼
►
values because they're like 64 bits is
[TS]
01:30:56
◼
►
not enough we need 200 expensive
[TS]
01:30:59
◼
►
unsigned precision for this value like
[TS]
01:31:02
◼
►
AB you are really future proofing this
[TS]
01:31:04
◼
►
thing that will be gone in two years not
[TS]
01:31:06
◼
►
not Bitcoin just some other random I I
[TS]
01:31:09
◼
►
so moving on so where do we leave this
[TS]
01:31:12
◼
►
cuz John you did exactly what you were
[TS]
01:31:13
◼
►
supposed to do which is give it over to
[TS]
01:31:15
◼
►
me and then I completely ruined it
[TS]
01:31:16
◼
►
I tried but I think that we have that
[TS]
01:31:18
◼
►
question has been addressed to the best
[TS]
01:31:20
◼
►
that we can do in a ski teepee style
[TS]
01:31:22
◼
►
segment really you should you'll be able
[TS]
01:31:24
◼
►
to talk about it with Mike when you do
[TS]
01:31:25
◼
►
like your computer science e-learning
[TS]
01:31:27
◼
►
stuff if that even that even keeps on
[TS]
01:31:30
◼
►
and wait a second since when did you
[TS]
01:31:32
◼
►
ever listen to analog I know you do from
[TS]
01:31:34
◼
►
time to time but I am vaguely aware of
[TS]
01:31:37
◼
►
many podcasts like you're my dad the
[TS]
01:31:42
◼
►
best way to characterize my current
[TS]
01:31:43
◼
►
podcast listening which is very spotty
[TS]
01:31:47
◼
►
and diffuse no I was doing that I know I
[TS]
01:31:53
◼
►
know all right
[TS]
01:31:54
◼
►
so Thomas no switz saw or something like
[TS]
01:31:58
◼
►
that writes have any of you ever tried
[TS]
01:32:00
◼
►
meditation please discuss no I have
[TS]
01:32:02
◼
►
never tried meditation John I'm pretty
[TS]
01:32:06
◼
►
sure no I might have done something no
[TS]
01:32:15
◼
►
you have lots of things qualify as
[TS]
01:32:18
◼
►
meditation and I'm sure as a teenager I
[TS]
01:32:22
◼
►
probably did one of those things that
[TS]
01:32:25
◼
►
was called sleeping thing that was
[TS]
01:32:30
◼
►
called zoning out no no anyway I'm gonna
[TS]
01:32:33
◼
►
say no that no is the quick answer I too
[TS]
01:32:37
◼
►
have not tried anything III have a vague
[TS]
01:32:39
◼
►
concept of the kinds of things you're
[TS]
01:32:41
◼
►
supposed to do I I kind of want to try
[TS]
01:32:44
◼
►
it someday but it's never been more than
[TS]
01:32:46
◼
►
like a passing notion like that for me I
[TS]
01:32:48
◼
►
was hoping one of us had done that's why
[TS]
01:32:50
◼
►
I put this question in there's like
[TS]
01:32:51
◼
►
surely one of us has tried meditation
[TS]
01:32:52
◼
►
but nope we've just heard podcast about
[TS]
01:32:54
◼
►
it you know what I really want to do I
[TS]
01:32:55
◼
►
really want to get a hypnotized sometime
[TS]
01:32:58
◼
►
because I think that's bogus I think
[TS]
01:32:59
◼
►
it's a bunch of malarkey and I don't
[TS]
01:33:01
◼
►
think it's real but I want to start
[TS]
01:33:02
◼
►
smoking so then you can try to get
[TS]
01:33:04
◼
►
hypnotized to stop oh my god
[TS]
01:33:05
◼
►
now we're gonna hear from so many people
[TS]
01:33:07
◼
►
about everything that just happen
[TS]
01:33:08
◼

[TS]
01:33:16
◼
►
helped the truth I don't really say
[TS]
01:33:18
◼
►
anything bad about meditation Casey said
[TS]
01:33:20
◼
►
bad things about hypnotism yeah
[TS]
01:33:21
◼
►
we're gonna hear from the meditation
[TS]
01:33:23
◼
►
people the smoking people the hypnotists
[TS]
01:33:25
◼
►
people who have been hypnotized
[TS]
01:33:27
◼
►
allegedly more like we're gonna hear
[TS]
01:33:28
◼
►
from all of those people now I think you
[TS]
01:33:31
◼
►
might hear from the hypnotize people but
[TS]
01:33:32
◼
►
you won't hear were smokers who's gonna
[TS]
01:33:33
◼
►
object to the joke about smoking
[TS]
01:33:35
◼
►
hypnotism you'd be surprised
[TS]
01:33:37
◼
►
hypnotists I don't know it helps some
[TS]
01:33:39
◼
►
people quit smoking if that's the goal

01:33:41
◼
►

01:35:13
◼

I am extremely lucky to I've had one
[TS]
01:35:15
◼

child let alone two I cannot believe my
[TS]
01:35:19
◼

good fortune that I have had two so far
[TS]
01:35:22
◼
►
healthy children either one of them
[TS]
01:35:24
◼

could have been unhealthy or had some
[TS]
01:35:26
◼

sort of physical ailment that would have
[TS]
01:35:28
◼
►
been really unfortunately in so many
[TS]
01:35:30
◼
►
ways I am extremely lucky but in the
[TS]
01:35:33
◼
►
heat of the moment it's funny how you
[TS]
01:35:35
◼
►
kind of forget that I'm so miserable so
[TS]
01:35:40
◼
►
how long are the usual sleep stretches
[TS]
01:35:42
◼
►
at night between two and a half and
[TS]
01:35:44
◼
►
three and a half hours now it's not you
[TS]
01:35:46
◼
►
which is not terrible but is not great
[TS]
01:35:50
◼
►
and to be fair the funniest part of this
[TS]
01:35:53
◼
►
is that Aaron hasn't really woken me up
[TS]
01:35:56
◼
►
deliberately to help with the nighttime
[TS]
01:35:58
◼
►
stuff in like a week so I am being this
[TS]
01:36:02
◼
►
much of a baby and all I'm doing is
[TS]
01:36:04
◼
►
getting woken up when I hear the cry and
[TS]
01:36:05
◼
►
then going right back to roll over
[TS]
01:36:11
◼
►
no this is true this is how ridiculous
[TS]
01:36:13
◼
►
men are you're really not having a good
[TS]
01:36:15
◼
►
showing right now oh no I know I'm fully
[TS]
01:36:17
◼
►
aware of this a hundred percent and
[TS]
01:36:19
◼
►
maybe I shouldn't maybe I should not all
[TS]
01:36:21
◼
►
men myself but like okay I mean all men
[TS]
01:36:24
◼
►
cannot feed i cannot feed Mikayla I
[TS]
01:36:27
◼
►
don't have the equipment to feed Mikayla
[TS]
01:36:29
◼
►
right but the fact that I'm this much of
[TS]
01:36:31
◼
►
a baby after being woken up like John
[TS]
01:36:33
◼
►
said by a bunch of like oh yeah oh geez
[TS]
01:36:36
◼
►
we gotta wake up earlier to go to work
[TS]
01:36:37
◼
►
in the morning right oh right
[TS]
01:36:39
◼
►
every part of this is B being but I'm
[TS]
01:36:42
◼
►
the biggest baby in the house a for me
[TS]
01:36:44
◼
►
look I can help you with two liquids
[TS]
01:36:49
◼
►
vodka and coffee I will let you decide
[TS]
01:36:52
◼
►
when to apply each one to the baby these
[TS]
01:36:59
◼
►
both go into you at different time don't
[TS]
01:37:02
◼
►
do at the same time it's a bad idea and
[TS]
01:37:04
◼
►
early may not appreciated you doing
[TS]
01:37:06
◼
►
things that she can't yeah that's also
[TS]
01:37:08
◼
►
part of it but but you know if if you
[TS]
01:37:11
◼
►
being a little bit happier and a little
[TS]
01:37:14
◼
►
bit more functional turns into you being
[TS]
01:37:16
◼
►
a little more helpful unless of a baby
[TS]
01:37:18
◼
►
she might appreciate yeah right so so
[TS]
01:37:21
◼
►
yeah this you know obviously this is a
[TS]
01:37:24
◼
►
hard time for anybody it is it is it
[TS]
01:37:27
◼
►
could be so much worse like I don't
[TS]
01:37:29
◼
►
think that Mikayla is is to the point of
[TS]
01:37:31
◼
►
being having colic I don't know what the
[TS]
01:37:34
◼
►
right right phrasing is but she is very
[TS]
01:37:37
◼
►
fussy for a lot of the day but I would
[TS]
01:37:39
◼
►
not go to go so far as to say that she
[TS]
01:37:41
◼
►
is like you know Alex was or anything
[TS]
01:37:43
◼
►
like that like she is she is manageable
[TS]
01:37:46
◼
►
but horrible Alex by comparison John's
[TS]
01:37:50

thing you can do right now for everyone

are which is a place that parents often
[TS]
01:40:30
◼

go to try and I found a perhaps more
[TS]
01:40:34
◼

successful method is to remind yourself
[TS]
01:40:36
◼

in it you should have an easy time for
[TS]
01:40:38
◼

this to remind yourself this this will

pass like they don't stay they don't
[TS]
01:40:42
◼

stay babies forever like you you can do
[TS]
01:40:44
◼

it you have done it and this will pass
[TS]
01:40:46
◼
►
and I find I personally find that much
[TS]
01:40:48
◼

more comforting than trying to remind
[TS]
01:40:49
◼
►
myself lucky
[TS]
01:40:50
◼

because that's like okay another night

local neighborhood like psychic or

Exorcist but you bring up all the issues

reflux and there's all sorts of
[TS]
01:42:15
◼

legitimate reasons that can be treated
[TS]
01:42:17
◼

they can they can help and so you might
[TS]
01:42:19
◼

you should exhaust those right just
[TS]
01:42:23

maybe don't go the step further and
[TS]
01:42:24
◼

start you know being totally desperate
[TS]
01:42:26
◼

you know from having a kid before you
[TS]
01:42:30
◼

and then they end and there's you know
[TS]
01:42:34
◼

there's new challenges that arise but
[TS]
01:42:36
◼

like whatever you know whatever
[TS]
01:42:37
◼
►
challenge you're in it eventually ends
[TS]
01:42:39
◼
►
and then you know so you get to move on
[TS]
01:42:41
◼

and that's just a thing that becomes
[TS]
01:42:43
◼

automatic now it's nice so like

two years or more likely somewhere in

anything other than cloth and basically
[TS]
01:43:52
◼

no other options I would have won all
[TS]
01:43:54
◼

seats are great were you talking about

01:43:56
◼

people love to get really fancy
[TS]
01:43:57
◼
►
expensive luxury cars with cloth seats
[TS]
01:43:59
◼
►
because there's so much better than
[TS]
01:44:00
◼
►
leather you know what's awesome static
[TS]
01:44:02
◼
►
in the winter when you rub against them
[TS]
01:44:03
◼

01:44:09
◼

place I don't have static and quasi
[TS]
01:44:11
◼
►
that's fine all right no but that is a
[TS]
01:44:14
◼
►
thing of people wanting cloth seats in
[TS]
01:44:15
◼
►
their luxury sporty cars because they
[TS]
01:44:17
◼
►
grip you better right and also there how
[TS]
01:44:19
◼
►
could rip you better that makes no sense
[TS]
01:44:21
◼
►
leather is not literally sticky but kind
[TS]
01:44:23
◼
►
of sort of sleeve you do kind of slide
[TS]
01:44:24
◼
►
on leather when it's cold but if you
[TS]
01:44:26
◼
►
better in this summer they caught the
[TS]
01:44:28
◼
►
cloth seats no it's funny because I've
[TS]
01:44:33
◼
►
been talking to a couple other friends
[TS]
01:44:34
◼
►
of mine this is the one that had the r32
[TS]
01:44:36
◼
►
and previously before that the m3 the 96
[TS]
01:44:40
◼
►
m3 and he's the one that suggested both
[TS]
01:44:42
◼
►
the legacy in the 335 so I really should
[TS]
01:44:44
◼
►
never trust him about any car ever
[TS]
01:44:46
◼
►
and he's also suggested the go far by
[TS]
01:44:48
◼
►
the way but anyway I was talking to him
[TS]
01:44:50
◼
►
and another friend of ours about how you
[TS]
01:44:53
◼
►
know I really want to go far but I
[TS]
01:44:55
◼
►
really want a sunroof like I really
[TS]
01:44:57
◼
►
really really don't like not having a
[TS]
01:45:00
◼
►
sunroof
[TS]
01:45:01
◼
►
and then oh you know you wouldn't even
[TS]
01:45:03
◼
►
mousse it you wouldn't even know and I
[TS]
01:45:04
◼
►
feel like that's sort of kinda the
[TS]
01:45:05
◼
►
conversation we're having now you don't
[TS]
01:45:07
◼
►
even know you you have no cloth seats
[TS]
01:45:08
◼
►
and forever clothes teach a better
[TS]
01:45:09
◼
►
burger well as attorney wouldn't miss
[TS]
01:45:12
◼
►
cloth seats I'm just saying the stack is
[TS]
01:45:13
◼
►
not as big a problem as he thinks it is
[TS]
01:45:14
◼
►
especially now I would take cloth seats
[TS]
01:45:17
◼
►
before I'd lose my son
[TS]
01:45:18
◼
►
that's an interesting question actually
[TS]
01:45:20
◼
►
I think I agree I think I agree like
[TS]
01:45:23
◼
►
leather is just making you like feel
[TS]
01:45:24
◼
►
luxurious and having a nice smell right
[TS]
01:45:26
◼
►
but leather in terms of just what it
[TS]
01:45:29
◼
►
feels like to sit in it is not like the
[TS]
01:45:32
◼
►
Holy Grail is cloth seats with seat
[TS]
01:45:33
◼
►
heaters which almost nobody makes
[TS]
01:45:34
◼
►
because then you're like oh I have if I
[TS]
01:45:36
◼
►
want to get seat heaters I have to get
[TS]
01:45:37
◼
►
leather right ahead of them in my Accord
[TS]
01:45:39
◼
►
my nobody makes that these days because
[TS]
01:45:44
◼
►
basically once you go to seat heaters
[TS]
01:45:46
◼
►
you also get like the leather package
[TS]
01:45:47
◼
►
right because it seems luxurious leather
[TS]
01:45:50
◼
►
you know whether or fake leather yeah I
[TS]
01:45:53
◼
►
don't really I don't draw a lot like a
[TS]
01:45:55
◼
►
line between those two I think like
[TS]
01:45:56
◼
►
there's fake leather is so good these
[TS]
01:45:59
◼
►
days that it doesn't really matter which
[TS]
01:46:00
◼
►
one I have I don't even notice really
[TS]
01:46:02
◼
►
all I know is to go back a half step you
[TS]
01:46:05
◼
►
know my friends were saying oh you you
[TS]
01:46:07
◼
►
don't even know you wouldn't even miss
[TS]
01:46:08
◼
►
the sunroof in the Gulf are you you did
[TS]
01:46:11
◼
►
before I do be fine well as it turns out
[TS]
01:46:12
◼
►
my legacy GT that I had before the 335
[TS]
01:46:15
◼
►
it was something to the order of $3,000
[TS]
01:46:20
◼
►
to get basically two options and that
[TS]
01:46:23
◼
►
was leather and a sunroof and I bought
[TS]
01:46:25
◼
►
the legacy because my then car a 300zx
[TS]
01:46:28
◼
►
wouldn't stay on the road sound familiar
[TS]
01:46:31
◼
►
at all and it couldn't stay on the road
[TS]
01:46:33
◼
►
because it was always in the shop and so
[TS]
01:46:35
◼
►
I bought the the Legacy GT after having
[TS]
01:46:39
◼
►
been employed as a real adult for like
[TS]
01:46:41
◼
►
literally a month or two months or
[TS]
01:46:43
◼
►
something like that which is to say I
[TS]
01:46:44
◼
►
was friggin broke and $3,000 would have
[TS]
01:46:47
◼
►
destroyed me financially like truly even
[TS]
01:46:49
◼
►
like over the course of you know the
[TS]
01:46:51
◼
►
four or five or probably even have a six
[TS]
01:46:54
◼
►
year car loan I was so broke at the time
[TS]
01:46:55
◼
►
but whatever it was like that $3,000 yes
[TS]
01:46:58
◼
►
I understand it was only like ten or
[TS]
01:46:59
◼
►
twenty or thirty dollars a month but if
[TS]
01:47:00
◼
►
that would have ruined me truly it
[TS]
01:47:02
◼
►
really would have ruined me so I didn't
[TS]
01:47:04
◼
►
get it and I had that car for like eight
[TS]
01:47:05
◼
►
years I had it from oh four to twenty
[TS]
01:47:08
◼
►
twelve yeah I was eight years and every
[TS]
01:47:11
◼
►
single day in the spring summer and fall
[TS]
01:47:14
◼
►
where it wasn't actively precipitating I
[TS]
01:47:17
◼
►
hated not having a sunroof I hated to
[TS]
01:47:21
◼
►
marco's point not having leather less
[TS]
01:47:23
◼
►
but I hated that too and so I can tell
[TS]
01:47:26
◼
►
both of you not that you're really
[TS]
01:47:27
◼
►
arguing with me but I can tell both of

that it feels more luxurious because

we've been trained to think leather is

[TS]
01:48:38
◼

saying why are you even considering a
[TS]
01:48:41
◼

golf are why not get a GTI you can get a
[TS]
01:48:44
◼

GTI with sunroof it is not that much
[TS]
01:48:47
◼

slower what is wrong with you why
[TS]
01:48:50
◼

wouldn't you do that and my answer has
[TS]
01:48:52
◼
►
always been twofold one I would want the
[TS]
01:48:56
◼
►
best of what I was getting if at all
[TS]
01:48:58
◼
►
possible because that's kind of who have
[TS]
01:49:01
◼

to come I'll blame that on Marco but
[TS]
01:49:03
◼

it's kind of always been a bit of me any
[TS]
01:49:05
◼

yeah come on that's like saying like oh
[TS]
01:49:07
◼

I drink and I become mature like no
[TS]
01:49:08
◼

you're just a jerk or when you drink
[TS]
01:49:11
◼

like it's like this has always been
[TS]
01:49:13
◼
►
inside of you it's true but I don't know
[TS]
01:49:19
◼
►
but I would want why I would want the
[TS]
01:49:21
◼
►
fastest one and I would want the
[TS]
01:49:23
◼
►
quote-unquote best one and that's why I
[TS]
01:49:24
◼
►
think I would prefer the R plus in my
[TS]
01:49:26
◼
►
experience which admittedly admittedly I
[TS]
01:49:29
◼
►
have not driven a front-wheel drive car
[TS]
01:49:30
◼
►
and I don't know 15 years or something
[TS]
01:49:32
◼
►
like that but I in the past have never
[TS]
01:49:36
◼
►
particularly enjoyed driving front-wheel
[TS]
01:49:39
◼
►
drive cars actually that's not true
[TS]
01:49:40
◼
►
Aran's Mazda was front-wheel drive and
[TS]
01:49:41
◼
►
although I didn't drive it regularly I
[TS]
01:49:43
◼
►
definitely
[TS]
01:49:45
◼
►
did not like the feeling when I drove it
[TS]
01:49:46
◼
►
it just felt like the front wheels were
[TS]
01:49:48
◼
►
doing too much I didn't care for it and
[TS]
01:49:50
◼
►
the GTI is front-wheel drive now with
[TS]
01:49:52
◼
►
that said my understanding of the GTI is
[TS]
01:49:54
◼
►
that it actually has like a limited slip
[TS]
01:49:55
◼
►
differential up front which is weird and
[TS]
01:49:57
◼
►
kind of like the Dodge SRT 4 from back
[TS]
01:49:59
◼
►
in the day but anyway all of this is to
[TS]
01:50:02
◼
►
ask the question do you think you guys
[TS]
01:50:04
◼
►
would if you were if I told you you had
[TS]
01:50:07
◼
►
to buy a Golf R or a GTI which I know
[TS]
01:50:10
◼
►
John you're gonna blow this predicament
[TS]
01:50:12
◼
►
out of the water someway somehow but if
[TS]
01:50:14
◼
►
you had to choose between one of those
[TS]
01:50:16
◼
►
two cars do you think you would enter
[TS]
01:50:17
◼
►
Tom entertain the front-wheel-drive GTI
[TS]
01:50:20
◼
►
that has a sunroof or do you think you
[TS]
01:50:22
◼
►
would have to go all-in on the Golf R I
[TS]
01:50:23
◼
►
would keep saying like oh there are is
[TS]
01:50:26
◼
►
the best quote-unquote best but it's
[TS]
01:50:27
◼
►
clear that you really want a sunroof so
[TS]
01:50:29
◼
►
it's not the best for you yeah like the
[TS]
01:50:32
◼
►
amount of time I would imagine you would
[TS]
01:50:33
◼
►
enjoy a sunroof was greater than the
[TS]
01:50:35
◼
►
amount of time you would enjoy it being
[TS]
01:50:36
◼
►
rear-wheel drive or whatever all-wheel
[TS]
01:50:38
◼
►
drive but yes I'm with you in principle
[TS]
01:50:39
◼
►
dad why do you gotta use your logic on
[TS]
01:50:41
◼
►
me because you just you're just cruising
[TS]
01:50:43
◼
►
down the road at 1530 miles an hour
[TS]
01:50:44
◼
►
you're enjoying the sunroof on a sunny
[TS]
01:50:46
◼
►
day and you're only enjoying the
[TS]
01:50:48
◼
►
slightly different driving dynamics when
[TS]
01:50:50
◼
►
you're driving hard which is weightless
[TS]
01:50:51
◼
►
you haven't been in the car with me in a
[TS]
01:50:54
◼
►
long time have you but anyway I
[TS]
01:50:55
◼
►
understand your point you should drive
[TS]
01:50:57
◼
►
more safely look you're talking to
[TS]
01:51:00
◼
►
people who have Volkswagen things and
[TS]
01:51:02
◼
►
they're gonna want to sell you while
[TS]
01:51:03
◼
►
storing things does everybody always
[TS]
01:51:04
◼
►
wants to convince other people to buy
[TS]
01:51:06
◼
►
what they bought so keep in mind though
[TS]
01:51:09
◼
►
that that is their perspective like you
[TS]
01:51:11
◼
►
know I'm telling you first I told you
[TS]
01:51:13
◼
►
you should buy a BMW because I bought
[TS]
01:51:14
◼
►
one now yeah then I'm telling you should
[TS]
01:51:17
◼
►
buy a Tesla because I bought like that
[TS]
01:51:18
◼
►
John's telling you to buy an AK or
[TS]
01:51:19
◼
►
because he bought one you know part of
[TS]
01:51:21
◼
►
this is to value their own purchase as
[TS]
01:51:22
◼
►
part of it is because whatever thought
[TS]
01:51:24
◼
►
process led us to make the choices for
[TS]
01:51:25
◼
►
ourselves it's natural to apply the same
[TS]
01:51:28
◼
►
processes to to you the reality is
[TS]
01:51:30
◼
►
though that when you like you're bending
[TS]
01:51:32
◼
►
over backwards trying to get some GTI
[TS]
01:51:35
◼
►
like vehicle to fit what you actually
[TS]
01:51:37
◼
►
want but it sounds like they just don't
[TS]
01:51:39
◼
►
make one that is what you actually want
[TS]
01:51:40
◼
►
and that's a totally fine answer like
[TS]
01:51:43
◼
►
the answer I think just is they don't
[TS]
01:51:44
◼
►
make what you want so therefore this is
[TS]
01:51:47
◼
►
not the right car family for you and you
[TS]
01:51:49
◼
►
should look at other things that might
[TS]
01:51:50
◼
►
be so in conclusion I need to buy
[TS]
01:51:52
◼
►
Wrangler one of the two choices ut TIRR
[TS]
01:51:57
◼
►
I picked one mark was like
[TS]
01:51:59
◼
►
oh you should get some told it was the
[TS]
01:52:00
◼
►
question I have a specific point of that
[TS]
01:52:03
◼
►
question was seeing if he should value
[TS]
01:52:05
◼
►
all-wheel drive over the sunroof I'm
[TS]
01:52:07
◼
►
with John I think you would probably
[TS]
01:52:09
◼
►
enjoy the sunroof more but I think
[TS]
01:52:10
◼
►
ultimately neat none of these Volkswagen
[TS]
01:52:13
◼
►
small you know hatchback things are
[TS]
01:52:16
◼
►
actually what you want so you shouldn't
[TS]
01:52:18
◼
►
really it like this is kind of a
[TS]
01:52:19
◼
►
pointless exercise because you shouldn't
[TS]
01:52:21
◼
►
really be considering any of them unless
[TS]
01:52:22
◼
►
what you want completely doesn't exist
[TS]
01:52:25
◼
►
by anybody but that's not true there's
[TS]
01:52:26
◼
►
lots of there's lots of cars that well
[TS]
01:52:28
◼
►
not Lots but there are some cars that
[TS]
01:52:30
◼
►
you would enjoy more that are from other
[TS]
01:52:32
◼
►
brands and that maybe you are not you
[TS]
01:52:35
◼
►
know considering because you don't think
[TS]
01:52:36
◼
►
you should like in the case of your SUV
[TS]
01:52:38
◼
►
envy but you know where your friends
[TS]
01:52:40
◼
►
will accept you for whoever you are but
[TS]
01:52:42
◼
►
like you know maybe it's because you
[TS]
01:52:44
◼
►
don't want to pay the price or you're
[TS]
01:52:45
◼
►
mad at BMW like with the m3 or Tesla
[TS]
01:52:48
◼
►
with the price but like these caught
[TS]
01:52:51
◼
►
like the cars you're looking at or not
[TS]
01:52:52
◼
►
for you because every choice you have in
[TS]
01:52:55
◼
►
that lineup has some kind of severe
[TS]
01:52:58
◼
►
downside that you really don't like I
[TS]
01:53:00
◼
►
know there's a kilise it's Achilles
[TS]
01:53:02
◼
►
heels all the way down right so
[TS]
01:53:03
◼
►
therefore none of them are the right car
[TS]
01:53:05
◼
►
for you and that's okay I know I know
[TS]
01:53:08
◼
►
you should be test driving these cars
[TS]
01:53:09
◼
►
though like you always like to talk
[TS]
01:53:10
◼

[TS]
01:53:17
◼

of time outside the house just by myself
[TS]
01:53:19
◼
►
tomorrow maybe and I've been debating I

01:53:23
◼

come back and save Aaron but I've been

oh that's right that's why I wasn't
[TS]
01:53:29
◼

[TS]
01:53:30
◼

inventory and it's garbage but I was
[TS]
01:53:32

kicking around the idea of going to the

Volkswagen dealer and driving a GTI just

Casey said he'd rather have Apple

00:00:31

throttle the iPhone by slowing it down
[TS]
00:00:33
◼

and have it shut down due to poor pirate
[TS]
00:00:34
◼

battery performance however I assume
[TS]
00:00:37
◼

that's being said by someone owning a
[TS]
00:00:38
◼

relatively new iPhone that's true you
[TS]
00:00:40
◼

should use an older model to really
[TS]
00:00:41
◼

understand the issue I have an iPhone 6
[TS]
00:00:43

and believe me the slowdown is
[TS]
00:00:44
◼

unbearable
[TS]
00:00:44
◼

one should not be waiting 10 seconds to
[TS]
00:00:46

see an app come up or imagine when you
[TS]
00:00:48
◼

see something you want to capture in

photo or film but it takes ages for the

camera to launch and you've missed your

shot the list goes on and on this is a

00:00:53
◼

serious usability issue for people with

older iPhones and and they suffer from

it daily during the whole day now this

is a completely fair point and Ravi is
[TS]
00:01:05
◼

right that I haven't really experienced
[TS]
00:01:07
◼

this because in well lately because I've
[TS]
00:01:10
◼

always been on the latest and greatest
[TS]
00:01:11
◼
►
phone that being said I believe was
[TS]
00:01:14
◼

either my fix for my success and we did
[TS]
00:01:16
◼
►
talk about this on the show at some
[TS]
00:01:17
◼
►
point or another I want to say was my 6s
[TS]
00:01:19
◼
►
would occasionally just shut itself down
[TS]
00:01:22
◼
►
and it whether or not it was the same
[TS]
00:01:25
◼
►
problem because it was a relatively new
[TS]
00:01:26
◼
►
phone at the time and I think it was
[TS]
00:01:28
◼
►
during a generation of phones where they
[TS]
00:01:30
◼
►
did have battery problems if I'm not
[TS]
00:01:31
◼
►
mistaken and you know what the specifics
[TS]
00:01:33
◼
►
of why it happened don't really matter
[TS]
00:01:36
◼
►
but the fact the matter is I had a phone
[TS]
00:01:38
◼
►
where this sort of shutdown was
[TS]
00:01:40
◼
►
happening and I remember vividly that
[TS]
00:01:44
◼
►
there were at least two or three times
[TS]
00:01:45
◼
►
that I was trying to capture something
[TS]
00:01:48
◼
►
that Declan was doing with the foot with
[TS]
00:01:49
◼
►
the phone's camera and it decided to
[TS]
00:01:53
◼
►
shut itself down
[TS]
00:01:54
◼
►
what Rabi seems to forget is that
[TS]
00:01:57
◼
►
booting a phone even a brand new iPhone
[TS]
00:02:00
◼
►
10 is like 15 20 30 seconds or something
[TS]
00:02:03
◼
►
like that that is way worse than waiting
[TS]
00:02:07
◼
►
five to ten seconds for the camera to
[TS]
00:02:09
◼
►
come up which is also terrible don't get
[TS]
00:02:11
◼
►
me wrong I am NOT arguing that that is
[TS]
00:02:13
◼
►
and I can't imagine how tough it would
[TS]
00:02:15
◼
►
be to have every app open after 10
[TS]
00:02:18
◼
►
seconds unequivocally that is trash but
[TS]
00:02:22
◼
►
I would still take that trash over
[TS]
00:02:26
◼
►
having the phone completely shut down
[TS]
00:02:28
◼
►
when I'm trying to capture a picture of
[TS]
00:02:31
◼
►
Declan or now Michaela like no question
[TS]
00:02:34
◼
►
I am still convinced that I would rather
[TS]
00:02:36
◼
►
have throttling than not well the slow
[TS]
00:02:38
◼
►
this little app launch could happen
[TS]
00:02:40
◼
►
every single time whereas the shows not
[TS]
00:02:41
◼
►
only happens once in a while but the
[TS]
00:02:42
◼
►
reason I put this thing and follow up is
[TS]
00:02:44
◼
►
not to debate whether shutdowns are
[TS]
00:02:46
◼
►
worse than slow performance but to
[TS]
00:02:48
◼
►
reiterate again what I think I said on a
[TS]
00:02:50
◼
►
past show which is if your phone is
[TS]
00:02:52
◼
►
doing stuff like really really slow like
[TS]
00:02:56
◼
►
this kind of slow like I literally I
[TS]
00:02:57
◼
►
mean I don't know maybe he's
[TS]
00:02:58
◼
►
exaggerating but if it's literally like
[TS]
00:02:59
◼
►
10 seconds to launch an app and you
[TS]
00:03:01
◼
►
noticed a routine regular app like if
[TS]
00:03:03
◼
►
it's doing things massively so that's
[TS]
00:03:05
◼
►
not throttling that is something else
[TS]
00:03:07
◼
►
that is the mysterious ailment that no
[TS]
00:03:09
◼
►
one has been able to identify that is
[TS]
00:03:11
◼
►
sometimes but not always cured by either
[TS]
00:03:14
◼
►
wiping and restoring from map backup or
[TS]
00:03:17
◼
►
wiping and starting as a new phone why
[TS]
00:03:19
◼
►
is that cure it what does it do I have
[TS]
00:03:21
◼
►
no idea but the throttling is not it's
[TS]
00:03:25
◼
►
going to make it feel slower you know
[TS]
00:03:27
◼
►
for sure but it's not going to make it
[TS]
00:03:30
◼
►
do this tight like even if you cut the
[TS]
00:03:32
◼
►
the clock speed in a quarter it wouldn't
[TS]
00:03:35
◼
►
take 10 or 20 seconds to launch an app
[TS]
00:03:36
◼
►
right it's not you know it's it that's
[TS]
00:03:39
◼
►
too much right it would take a quarter
[TS]
00:03:41
◼
►
of the time to launch the app or
[TS]
00:03:42
◼
►
whatever so phones that have these
[TS]
00:03:44
◼
►
massive slowdowns or freezes and stuff I
[TS]
00:03:46
◼
►
don't think those are explicable by the
[TS]
00:03:49
◼
►
throttling the throttling feels
[TS]
00:03:50
◼
►
different the throttling feels like your
[TS]
00:03:52
◼
►
whole phone is kind of going through
[TS]
00:03:53
◼
►
molasses but not these huge things all
[TS]
00:03:55
◼
►
I'm gonna say is that if you're
[TS]
00:03:57
◼
►
encountering one of these problems don't
[TS]
00:03:59
◼
►
merely assume that you're being
[TS]
00:04:00
◼
►
throttled you may have something much
[TS]
00:04:01
◼
►
much worse than throttling and what can
[TS]
00:04:04
◼
►
you do about it the only thing I've
[TS]
00:04:05
◼
►
heard of some you know like I said wipe
[TS]
00:04:06
◼
►
wipe and restore from backup or wipe and
[TS]
00:04:08
◼
►
star as a new phone and that may or may
[TS]
00:04:10
◼
►
not fix it which is terrible advice I
[TS]
00:04:11
◼
►
don't have anything better I just want
[TS]
00:04:12
◼
►
people to be aware that every problem is
[TS]
00:04:14
◼
►
not throttling people people often
[TS]
00:04:16
◼
►
complain about how I bother Apple about
[TS]
00:04:20
◼
►
their software quality and you know well
[TS]
00:04:21
◼
►
it doesn't matter they're very
[TS]
00:04:23
◼
►
successful you know they're moving fast
[TS]
00:04:25
◼
►
they're competitive they don't need to
[TS]
00:04:26
◼
►
make everything perfect
[TS]
00:04:27
◼
►
but part of the reason why this battery
[TS]
00:04:30
◼
►
thing became such a big deal and part of
[TS]
00:04:32
◼
►
the reason why so many people jumped on
[TS]
00:04:35
◼
►
the on you know sometimes even wrong
[TS]
00:04:38
◼
►
information about it but but definitely
[TS]
00:04:40
◼
►
sensationalized the the motivations and
[TS]
00:04:42
◼
►
and what was actually happening is
[TS]
00:04:44
◼
►
because apples had problems for years
[TS]
00:04:48
◼
►
where I OS has weird bugs is not tested
[TS]
00:04:53
◼
►
well enough on old phones weird cruft
[TS]
00:04:55
◼
►
accumulates with with older phones older
[TS]
00:04:57
◼
►
installations like an upgraded sometimes
[TS]
00:05:00
◼
►
you have things like this where you have
[TS]
00:05:02
◼
►
to like restore your phone and that
[TS]
00:05:03
◼
►
might fix it like this is all just
[TS]
00:05:06
◼
►
problems that that arise from having a
[TS]
00:05:08
◼
►
massive amount of technical debt and bad
[TS]
00:05:11
◼
►
software quality that never gets a
[TS]
00:05:12
◼
►
chance to get fixed if Apple had better
[TS]
00:05:15
◼
►
software quality and better testing and
[TS]
00:05:18
◼
►
better supporting these old devices the
[TS]
00:05:20
◼
►
battery gate thing would have been a way
[TS]
00:05:22
◼
►
less severe problem the like one of the
[TS]
00:05:26
◼
►
biggest reasons why it looked the way it
[TS]
00:05:27
◼
►
did is because there are so many quality
[TS]
00:05:31
◼
►
problems with software on old phones and
[TS]
00:05:33
◼
►
people you know Apple basically handed
[TS]
00:05:35
◼
►
them on a platter a very good
[TS]
00:05:38
◼
►
explanation for why their phones are
[TS]
00:05:40
◼
►
this slow that isn't their fault that's
[TS]
00:05:41
◼
►
Apple being evil it probably isn't the
[TS]
00:05:43
◼
►
right explanation as John said like I
[TS]
00:05:45
◼
►
think most if most people's phones are
[TS]
00:05:47
◼
►
this slow it's probably not because the
[TS]
00:05:49
◼
►
CPU speed has been cut down by you know
[TS]
00:05:51
◼
►
50 or 60 percent whatever it is like
[TS]
00:05:54
◼
►
this seems like a more severe software
[TS]
00:05:56
◼
►
issue but the Apple like for years
[TS]
00:06:00
◼
►
they've been ignoring this kind of
[TS]
00:06:02
◼
►
software quality and it bit them really
[TS]
00:06:05
◼
►
hard and there's lots of areas like you
[TS]
00:06:07
◼
►
things like security where like you know
[TS]
00:06:09
◼
►
technical debt can really come back and
[TS]
00:06:11
◼
►
bite you hard maybe they need to really
[TS]
00:06:14
◼
►
reconsider their priorities and and how
[TS]
00:06:17
◼
►
much they value and and devote resources
[TS]
00:06:19
◼
►
to quality of their software and running
[TS]
00:06:23
◼

a little device especially as opposed to

you're skipping over the important parts

devices so I'll get a home pod as soon
[TS]
00:07:11
◼

as I can buy dad will ever say a single
[TS]
00:07:12
◼

word to it the reason I put this in here
[TS]
00:07:15
◼

is like so if I had to summarize this
[TS]
00:07:17
◼
►
nasai less snarky way it's like
[TS]
00:07:18
◼
►
Bluetooth speakers we all have a
[TS]
00:07:21
◼
►
Bluetooth speaker I bet a lot of people
[TS]
00:07:22
◼
►
they're everywhere it's kind of it
[TS]
00:07:24
◼
►
becomes sort of the baseline for so you
[TS]
00:07:27
◼
►
want a little speaker that's better than
[TS]
00:07:28
◼
►
your your phone speakers that you can
[TS]
00:07:30
◼
►
play stuff from your phone or whatever
[TS]
00:07:32
◼
►
right and he's right there's lots of
[TS]
00:07:35
◼
►
Bluetooth speakers around so why do you
[TS]
00:07:37
◼
►
even need all like what's the deal with
[TS]
00:07:39
◼
►
the home pod if it was just a Bluetooth
[TS]
00:07:40
◼
►
speaker wouldn't that be fine who cares
[TS]
00:07:42
◼
►
about things you can talk to except for
[TS]
00:07:43
◼
►
as he you know puts it like turning on
[TS]
00:07:45
◼
►
your mood lighting her your smart tea
[TS]
00:07:47
◼
►
kettles or whatever and he even says
[TS]
00:07:51
◼

I'll get one because he wants something
[TS]
00:07:53
◼
►
connected Apple devices by dental or
[TS]
00:07:54
◼
►
assessing a wardrobe i think this falls
[TS]
00:07:56
◼
►
into the same category albeit less i'll
[TS]
00:07:58
◼
►
be much more angry as casey wear and i
[TS]
00:08:01
◼
►
think we've talked about these before
[TS]
00:08:02
◼
►
and I want to reiterate to it if it
[TS]
00:08:03
◼
►
seems silly that you're talking to your
[TS]
00:08:06
◼
►
speaker no speaker who cares about the
[TS]
00:08:08
◼
►
talking about that seems silly people
[TS]
00:08:10
◼
►
who say that probably have not tried one
[TS]
00:08:12
◼
►
of these things and I know if you
[TS]
00:08:14
◼
►
haven't done it it sounds like a froofy
[TS]
00:08:16
◼
►
thing but as a technology required to
[TS]
00:08:19
◼
►
make something that works like this goes
[TS]
00:08:20
◼
►
down and I argue it's pretty low already
[TS]
00:08:22
◼
►
considering you get a little Amazon dot
[TS]
00:08:23
◼
►
that does a pretty good job of
[TS]
00:08:24
◼
►
understanding what you're saying the
[TS]
00:08:26
◼

utility of it will be apparent these
[TS]
00:08:27

things are not popular for no reason so
[TS]
00:08:30
◼

I would once again urge everybody if
[TS]
00:08:32
◼
►
you've never had a thing like this that
[TS]
00:08:34
◼
►
you talked to don't immediately dismiss
[TS]
00:08:37
◼
►
the idea of talking to it as something
[TS]
00:08:38
◼
►
that like is a passing fad or a thing
[TS]
00:08:42
◼
►
that only you rich lazy people do or
[TS]
00:08:45
◼
►
whatever it is a technology that has
[TS]
00:08:47
◼

utility talking to things is a useful
[TS]
00:08:51
◼

interface in many situations and that's
[TS]
00:08:54
◼

why I think
[TS]
00:08:55
◼
►
as time marches on Bluetooth speakers
[TS]
00:08:57
◼

that you can't talk to will become less
[TS]
00:09:00
◼

popular in the same way that like

you brought me up earlier I I have mixed

despite having never had an echo or any
[TS]
00:09:37

I stumbled because I have couldn't

or not despite having never had an echo

in my house I I think to some degree I

understand the draw it's not something I

feel like I need but I do think I

understand it the reason I'm so grumpy

be able to shout at my home pod hey you
[TS]
00:09:58
◼

know cylinder play such-and-such by such
[TS]
00:10:01
◼

and such artists and in the fact that I

can't do that unless I have either that
[TS]
00:10:06
◼

in my library or an Apple music
[TS]
00:10:08

00:10:10
◼

as I talked about for a very long time
[TS]
00:10:11
◼

previously I would like to use Spotify
[TS]
00:10:14
◼

to do that and yes I am aware that you
[TS]
00:10:16
◼

can do basic controls like you know hey
[TS]
00:10:19
◼

cylinder skip to the next track and it
[TS]
00:10:21
◼

will work even if your air playing
[TS]
00:10:22
◼

Spotify like I get that but the whole
[TS]
00:10:24
◼

point is I want to be able to say hey
[TS]
00:10:26
◼

cylinder play placed on hold by me math
[TS]
00:10:28
◼

and I want it to just work without

having to pay Apple for an Apple music

subscription this was a more general
[TS]
00:10:37

this person is more general anger is
[TS]
00:10:39
◼

like don't normal people what you want

just wanted a speaker even if it's not

on the cutting edge of solving your late
[TS]
00:10:45
◼

like it's not your lazy old men problems

right and mood lighting and stuff like
[TS]
00:10:49

to command line so the solving your lazy
[TS]
00:10:54

problems of oh no you're just pointed
[TS]
00:10:56
◼

the thing on the screen with the mouse
[TS]
00:10:57
◼

and click on it like it's just this sort
[TS]
00:10:59
◼

of backwards macho thinking that you
[TS]
00:11:04
◼

don't need any fancy thing to do that it
[TS]
00:11:06
◼

should be fine to do it the way
[TS]
00:11:07
◼

currently works
[TS]
00:11:08
◼

we just want a Bluetooth speaker that
[TS]
00:11:09
◼

sounds good you don't need to talk to
[TS]
00:11:11
◼
►
things it's like no like people have
[TS]
00:11:12
◼
►
tried it and it's it's convenient to
[TS]
00:11:14
◼
►
talk to things sometimes not all the
[TS]
00:11:16
◼
►
time it's not the best thing in the
[TS]
00:11:17
◼
►
world but it is an interface that has
[TS]
00:11:19
◼
►
proven its utility and just because you
[TS]
00:11:21
◼
►
you don't find utility in it or you have
[TS]
00:11:23
◼
►
never tried so you have no idea what it
[TS]
00:11:24
◼
►
would be like doesn't mean it doesn't
[TS]
00:11:25
◼
►
have utility and doesn't mean everyone
[TS]
00:11:27
◼
►
who's talking to their cylinders or
[TS]
00:11:28
◼
►
their phones or their watches or talking
[TS]
00:11:31
◼
►
to their cars to tell them to call so
[TS]
00:11:32
◼
►
then I think their hands off the wheel
[TS]
00:11:33
◼
►
too you know call home while they're
[TS]
00:11:35
◼
►
driving
[TS]
00:11:36
◼
►
those are good user interfaces they do
[TS]
00:11:38
◼
►
not reflect badly on the people who use
[TS]
00:11:40
◼
►
them and people who think that way
[TS]
00:11:41
◼
►
should reconsider some brief feedback
[TS]
00:11:45
◼
►
brief follow-up on my Raspberry Pi music
[TS]
00:11:47
◼
►
player that I discussed last week lots
[TS]
00:11:50
◼
►
of people wrote in to suggest that I try
[TS]
00:11:53
◼
►
something that uses that reads RFID or
[TS]
00:11:56
◼
►
NFC tags and there's a been a number of
[TS]
00:11:59
◼
►
projects that do this one of the best
[TS]
00:12:01
◼
►
ones I've seen is called plastic player
[TS]
00:12:03
◼
►
and and there's a few of the projects
[TS]
00:12:04
◼
►
that were similar where basically you
[TS]
00:12:06
◼
►
have a Raspberry Pi with an NFC reading
[TS]
00:12:08
◼
►
board and you stick NFC stickers to the
[TS]
00:12:11
◼
►
back of some kind of like card or
[TS]
00:12:13
◼
►
something there was also a really
[TS]
00:12:15
◼
►
awesome original NES like it like kind
[TS]
00:12:18
◼
►
of like an NES mini project that
[TS]
00:12:20
◼
►
somebody made that used RFID reading
[TS]
00:12:23
◼
►
cartridges like he would he made like
[TS]
00:12:25
◼
►
little mini versions of old NES
[TS]
00:12:27
◼
►
cartridges in throw them into an old
[TS]
00:12:29
◼
►
mini NES had like the power and reset
[TS]
00:12:31
◼
►
buttons all wired up to actually do
[TS]
00:12:32
◼
►
correct things and it was but in the in
[TS]
00:12:35
◼
►
reality it wasn't playing the games off
[TS]
00:12:36
◼
►
of the cartridges it was playing them
[TS]
00:12:38
◼
►
off of internal memory and the
[TS]
00:12:39
◼
►
cartridges were simply telling it what
[TS]
00:12:41
◼
►
to play and that's how all these RFID
[TS]
00:12:43
◼
►
based music players work - some of them
[TS]
00:12:46
◼
►
play them off a Spotify or something
[TS]
00:12:47
◼
►
some of them play them off of internal
[TS]
00:12:49
◼
►
storage so I started playing with this I
[TS]
00:12:51
◼
►
actually I got a NFC board I was a
[TS]
00:12:55
◼
►
little hesitant at first because they
[TS]
00:12:56
◼
►
were there there don't seem to be any
[TS]
00:12:57
◼
►
kind of like quick little plug-and-play
[TS]
00:12:59
◼
►
boards like the like the sound cards you
[TS]
00:13:02
◼
►
can get some that fit the Raspberry Pi
[TS]
00:13:04
◼
►
hat specification which is like it's
[TS]
00:13:07
◼
►
just like a board that like sticks on
[TS]
00:13:09
◼
►
top of the Raspberry Pi it like with
[TS]
00:13:11
◼
►
like a predefined connector on the on
[TS]
00:13:14
◼
►
the main i/o connector and you just kind
[TS]
00:13:16
◼
►
of stick it on and it stacks on top
[TS]
00:13:17
◼
►
nicely and it's like plug and play and
[TS]
00:13:19
◼
►
it just works pretty easily
[TS]
00:13:20
◼
►
there's none of those 4r
[TS]
00:13:22
◼
►
NFC reading that I could find at least
[TS]
00:13:24
◼
►
none that were maintained so I had to
[TS]
00:13:26
◼
►
get like a different board that required
[TS]
00:13:29
◼
►
me to actually acquire it and then later
[TS]
00:13:31
◼
►
on I soldered some stuff and it was kind
[TS]
00:13:34
◼
►
of fun but and I'm terrible at soldering
[TS]
00:13:36
◼
►
this is the first time I've done it in
[TS]
00:13:37
◼
►
years and still terrible at it but
[TS]
00:13:38
◼
►
slowly getting less terrible anyway so
[TS]
00:13:41
◼
►
now I have one that plays via NFC it's
[TS]
00:13:45
◼
►
just using internal storage and the NFC
[TS]
00:13:47
◼
►
cards that I'm sticking like on the
[TS]
00:13:49
◼
►
reader just play the album and it's
[TS]
00:13:51
◼
►
really nice it's still a little bit in
[TS]
00:13:53
◼
►
progress but I'm really enjoying it so
[TS]
00:13:55
◼
►
far I'm kind of I'm really enjoying this
[TS]
00:13:56
◼
►
crazy little world of making fun crap as
[TS]
00:13:58
◼
►
as you know procrastination when I'm
[TS]
00:14:01
◼
►
waiting for overcast to get through test

[TS]
00:14:04
◼
►
that it's it's nice and yeah I'm really
[TS]
00:14:09
◼
►
enjoying this world that's about all I
[TS]
00:14:10
◼
►
don't have anything to show for it yet
[TS]
00:14:11
◼
►
but it's coming along well it's getting
[TS]
00:14:13
◼
►
pretty cool and so once it's done I'll

once it's done I'll take pictures I'm
[TS]
00:14:48
◼

gonna I actually ordered a Raspberry Pi
[TS]
00:14:50
◼
►
0 W which is much smaller than the
[TS]
00:14:54
◼
►
full-size Raspberry Pi to help it fit
[TS]
00:14:55
◼
►
better into this case but we will see
[TS]
00:14:57
◼
►
how that goes when it arrives you should
[TS]
00:14:59
◼

have saved your trashcan so you could

trashcan
[TS]
00:15:03
◼

chuck them into the hole and then they
[TS]

rejections have said something along the

lines of listen that's you know Apple

copyrighted material which really is

screenshots you really got to change

00:17:32
◼

there's nothing we can really do about

emoji and as most of you probably know I
[TS]
00:17:44
◼
►
do love me some emoji that apple
[TS]
00:17:47
◼
►
provides all these beautiful emoji and
[TS]
00:17:49
◼
►
then if you use them as part of you user
[TS]
00:17:51
◼
►
interface they stomp on you and say no
[TS]
00:17:53
◼
►
that's not allowed
[TS]
00:17:54
◼
►
now shortly before we went to record
[TS]
00:17:57
◼
►
tonight I had seen some rumblings about
[TS]
00:17:59
◼
►
this maybe being walked back so instead
[TS]
00:18:01
◼
►
of spending the entire rest of this
[TS]
00:18:02
◼
►
episode on it I guess we just kind of
[TS]
00:18:05
◼
►
talked about it and then move along and
[TS]
00:18:06
◼
►
hope that it's getting resolved but man
[TS]
00:18:09
◼
►
that just seems dumb like I understand
[TS]
00:18:11
◼
►
that yes it is their right to do this
[TS]
00:18:14
◼
►
but it's just dumb I I don't get it
[TS]
00:18:18
◼
►
and it's I like using emoji like I can't
[TS]
00:18:21
◼
►
say that I've done this day at work but
[TS]
00:18:23
◼
►
if I was writing my own iOS app I would
[TS]
00:18:25
◼
►
absolutely use emoji in my in my user
[TS]
00:18:28
◼
►
interface from time to time because I
[TS]
00:18:29
◼
►
just think it's cute and fun but gosh I
[TS]
00:18:32
◼
►
don't dig it and I haven't had the
[TS]
00:18:34
◼
►
chance to listen to the most recent
[TS]
00:18:37
◼
►
connected which will link in the show
[TS]
00:18:38
◼
►
notes where Jeremy Burch FMOD mojo pedia
[TS]
00:18:41
◼
►
is on and I guess that interview is
[TS]
00:18:43
◼
►
probably pretty good because Jeremy's
[TS]
00:18:44
◼
►
pretty damn awesome it is you're missing
[TS]
00:18:46
◼
►
a lot you really really should have
[TS]
00:18:47
◼
►
listened to it it's it's really your
[TS]
00:18:49
◼
►
I know I will listen to what six hours
[TS]
00:18:54
◼
►
ago already been a little busy but no
[TS]
00:18:59
◼
►
the the connected guys of course are
[TS]
00:19:00
◼
►
dear friends of ours and and Jeremy even
[TS]
00:19:03
◼
►
though we've never met he's a dear
[TS]
00:19:05
◼
►
friend of mine he just doesn't know it
[TS]
00:19:06
◼
►
and so I'll talk with him does that
[TS]
00:19:08
◼
►
that is superhot and in any case the
[TS]
00:19:13
◼
►
point of join it was a giant hot pool it
[TS]
00:19:15
◼
►
wasn't a hot tub
[TS]
00:19:16
◼
►
well in that case not so hot no anyway
[TS]
00:19:19
◼
►
you should listen to that and just
[TS]
00:19:21
◼
►
certainly one of you guys I guess Marco
[TS]
00:19:23
◼
►
if you'd like to jump in kind of fill in
[TS]
00:19:24
◼
►
the gaps here but I just I don't care
[TS]
00:19:26
◼
►
for it I understand swith in Apple's
[TS]
00:19:28
◼
►
right but I don't care for it and I
[TS]
00:19:30
◼
►
think it's a it's just a poor decision
[TS]
00:19:32
◼
►
so Marco since you seem to be more read
[TS]
00:19:34
◼
►
up on this than I anything you can add
[TS]
00:19:36
◼
►
or fill in or kind of clarify for me I
[TS]
00:19:38
◼
►
mean once again the the the specific day
[TS]
00:19:42
◼
►
that we are recording is kind of
[TS]
00:19:43
◼
►
inconvenient for the story because it
[TS]
00:19:44
◼
►
does seem to be like kind of in progress
[TS]
00:19:46
◼
►
and still in motion so this may be out
[TS]
00:19:49
◼
►
of date by the time that I'm able to you
[TS]
00:19:51
◼
►
know release this tomorrow morning or
[TS]
00:19:52
◼
►
whatever but I think Apple clearly needs
[TS]
00:19:57
◼
►
to the final line of what is okay and
[TS]
00:20:00
◼
►
what is not because certain things with
[TS]
00:20:02
◼
►
their emoji are
[TS]
00:20:03
◼
►
you know the emoji is Apple's
[TS]
00:20:06
◼
►
copyrighted work not that different from
[TS]
00:20:08
◼
►
you know it's the San Francisco font is
[TS]
00:20:10
◼
►
Apple's font they own it they can
[TS]
00:20:12
◼
►
dictate the terms of use one of the
[TS]
00:20:14
◼
►
things that you can't do with the San
[TS]
00:20:15
◼
►
Francisco font is you can't embed the
[TS]
00:20:17
◼
►
San Francisco font on an Android app or
[TS]
00:20:20
◼
►
on a website you can you can like call
[TS]
00:20:23
◼
►
for it in your CSS but like you can't
[TS]
00:20:25
◼
►
actually embed the files that would then
[TS]
00:20:27
◼
►
show the San Francisco font to people on
[TS]
00:20:29
◼
►
windows or people on Android because
[TS]
00:20:31
◼
►
that's ripping off their copyrighted
[TS]
00:20:33
◼
►
stuff and put it on your server and
[TS]
00:20:34
◼
►
redistributing it like that's that's
[TS]
00:20:36
◼
►
obviously over the line so similar
[TS]
00:20:37
◼
►
things with emoji there are apps
[TS]
00:20:39
◼
►
sometimes really big apps like I think
[TS]
00:20:40
◼
►
like I'm not too familiar with the
[TS]
00:20:42
◼
►
specifics but I think people were saying
[TS]
00:20:43
◼
►
like whatsapp just copied all that emoji
[TS]
00:20:46
◼
►
was putting it on all their platforms
[TS]
00:20:48
◼
►
like on Android and stuff obviously
[TS]
00:20:49
◼
►
taking apples emoji images and embedding
[TS]
00:20:52
◼
►
them in your app on Android is obviously
[TS]
00:20:54
◼
►
over the line and that should be you
[TS]
00:20:56
◼
►
know enforced by Apple's Copyright
[TS]
00:20:57
◼
►
Department that makes total sense so
[TS]
00:20:59
◼
►
obviously there is a line of what is too
[TS]
00:21:01
◼
►
far the question is where is that line
[TS]
00:21:04
◼
►
being drawn and it seems like that might
[TS]
00:21:06
◼
►
still be in flux or the or maybe there
[TS]
00:21:09
◼
►
was some interpretation by a preview
[TS]
00:21:11
◼
►
that is still in flux I don't know
[TS]
00:21:13
◼
►
obviously I think anything that involves
[TS]
00:21:16
◼
►
you taking the images off the system and
[TS]
00:21:20
◼
►
and manipulating the images themselves
[TS]
00:21:22
◼
►
is probably not right and not cool with
[TS]
00:21:25
◼
►
Apple but I don't think it's right for
[TS]
00:21:28
◼
►
Apple to say that like a text label in
[TS]
00:21:31
◼
►
your app can't include characters in
[TS]
00:21:34
◼
►
this range being rendered by the system
[TS]
00:21:36
◼
►
fonts that I think is is too restrictive
[TS]
00:21:39
◼
►
and you know so for me from a technical
[TS]
00:21:42
◼
►
perspective I think it's easy to define
[TS]
00:21:44
◼
►
that line you're allowed to use emoji in
[TS]
00:21:47
◼
►
your app if it's being rendered as text
[TS]
00:21:50
◼
►
like by the text system being rendered
[TS]
00:21:53
◼
►
as text that makes total sense that
[TS]
00:21:55
◼
►
seems reasonable
[TS]
00:21:56
◼
►
because then Apple can change the images
[TS]
00:21:58
◼
►
whenever they want it can only ever
[TS]
00:22:00
◼
►
render that way on Apple's platforms
[TS]
00:22:01
◼
►
because you're not embedding the images
[TS]
00:22:03
◼
►
you're just calling for the text
[TS]
00:22:04
◼
►
characters so if you if you do the same
[TS]
00:22:05
◼
►
thing on Android or somewhere else it's
[TS]
00:22:07
◼
►
gonna render the Android mojo set which
[TS]
00:22:08
◼
►
is what you should be doing that I think
[TS]
00:22:11
◼
►
is a very good line to draw it's unclear
[TS]
00:22:13
◼
►
whether they are drawing that line or
[TS]
00:22:15
◼
►
not one of the
[TS]
00:22:16
◼
►
that kind of kicked all this off is an
[TS]
00:22:18
◼
►
app by Sam Eckert called bit tracker so
[TS]
00:22:22
◼
►
bit tracker has basically emoji all over
[TS]
00:22:24
◼
►
the UI like in in text labels there's
[TS]
00:22:26
◼
►
like little emoji Thanos how salient
[TS]
00:22:27
◼
►
everything but that looks okay to me and
[TS]
00:22:30
◼
►
so he this is mostly coming out like on
[TS]
00:22:32
◼
►
his Twitter account over the last few
[TS]
00:22:34
◼
►
days and originally he got rejected then
[TS]
00:22:36
◼
►
he got a phone call from a preview and
[TS]
00:22:38
◼
►
in the phone call it's like a perv you
[TS]
00:22:40
◼
►
apparently told him that you cannot use
[TS]
00:22:43
◼
►
emoji anywhere in your app UI except
[TS]
00:22:46
◼
►
like the user being able to enter text
[TS]
00:22:49
◼
►
so like if there's a text field and the
[TS]
00:22:51
◼
►
user can type emoji into the text field
[TS]
00:22:52
◼
►
that's okay and if you're doing things
[TS]
00:22:54
◼
►
with that text like displaying a message
[TS]
00:22:56
◼
►
that someone else sent that person that
[TS]
00:22:57
◼
►
happens to include emoji that's okay but
[TS]
00:23:00
◼
►
what he was told on the phone is
[TS]
00:23:01
◼
►
apparently that you cannot use emoji in
[TS]
00:23:04
◼
►
the UI in other ways but then app review
[TS]
00:23:08
◼
►
decided to retroactively Lee go back and
[TS]
00:23:10
◼
►
approve his app after all and to let him
[TS]
00:23:13
◼
►
use the emoji that way but we haven't
[TS]
00:23:15
◼
►
yet received clarification on the policy
[TS]
00:23:17
◼
►
so whether the policy is actually
[TS]
00:23:18
◼
►
different we have no idea
[TS]
00:23:20
◼
►
and this is a little bit you know I have
[TS]
00:23:23
◼
►
a little bit of skin in this game
[TS]
00:23:24
◼
►
because overcast has a couple of small
[TS]
00:23:26
◼
►
uses of emoji in the interface if you if
[TS]
00:23:29
◼
►
you star an episode a little emoji star
[TS]
00:23:31
◼
►
will show up if you have not downloaded
[TS]
00:23:33
◼
►
it but it's simply being streamed a
[TS]
00:23:34
◼
►
little cloud will show up both these
[TS]
00:23:35
◼
►
things appear in the detail label like
[TS]
00:23:36
◼
►
relate the date shows on the episode and
[TS]
00:23:39
◼
►
and oh and I use the emoji heart it like
[TS]
00:23:43
◼
►
you know also in tiny little form in the
[TS]
00:23:45
◼
►
text label for becoming a premium
[TS]
00:23:47
◼
►
subscriber so obviously I have some skin
[TS]
00:23:49
◼
►
in this game because if this policy is
[TS]
00:23:51
◼
►
super restrictive in the way that that
[TS]
00:23:54
◼
►
he was told on the phone that you can't
[TS]
00:23:56
◼
►
use emoji at all unless the user is
[TS]
00:23:57
◼
►
typing it in then everything I just said
[TS]
00:24:00
◼
►
about overcast would be prohibited and
[TS]
00:24:03
◼
►
that would be unfortunate but the the
[TS]
00:24:06
◼
►
unfortunate reality is that we don't
[TS]
00:24:07
◼
►
know is this is one of those vague
[TS]
00:24:09
◼
►
AppStore times where either somebody
[TS]
00:24:11
◼
►
made a big mistake by telling symetric
[TS]
00:24:13
◼
►
this policy over the phone which i think
[TS]
00:24:14
◼
►
is unlikely or the policy is shifting
[TS]
00:24:17
◼
►
which is probably the more likely answer
[TS]
00:24:19
◼
►
that that they that they're considering
[TS]
00:24:20
◼
►
feedback and maybe that maybe the
[TS]
00:24:22
◼
►
considering they went too far so again
[TS]
00:24:24
◼
►
some policing of their emoji is
[TS]
00:24:26
◼
►
necessary there's a very clear line
[TS]
00:24:28
◼
►
where like if you're pulling the images
[TS]
00:24:30
◼
►
and putting them on other platforms or
[TS]
00:24:32
◼
►
playing with them as images that's
[TS]
00:24:34
◼
►
probably not cool but if you are just
[TS]
00:24:37
◼
►
calling for emoji as characters in text
[TS]
00:24:40
◼
►
labels in your app being rendered by the
[TS]
00:24:43
◼
►
text system in the system I don't think
[TS]
00:24:45
◼
►
that should be prohibited
[TS]
00:24:46
◼
►
they case you know what you said up
[TS]
00:24:49
◼
►
front like they can legally that's
[TS]
00:24:50
◼
►
totally within their rights to prohibit
[TS]
00:24:52
◼
►
that I just I don't think they should
[TS]
00:24:54
◼
►
the language of emoji has become such a
[TS]
00:24:59
◼
►
such a critical part of what's currently
[TS]
00:25:02
◼
►
in fashion and app design and and how
[TS]
00:25:05
◼
►
people are communicating and what people
[TS]
00:25:07
◼
►
expect to see and what they expect to be
[TS]
00:25:09
◼
►
able to use that I think restricting it
[TS]
00:25:13
◼
►
from being used in in the kind of
[TS]
00:25:15
◼
►
innocent way I was saying earlier of
[TS]
00:25:16
◼
►
like being used like in text labels
[TS]
00:25:17
◼
►
restricting that I think would be a big
[TS]
00:25:19
◼
►
mistake for just kind of the the like
[TS]
00:25:22
◼
►
design landscape of iOS apps and I don't
[TS]
00:25:26
◼
►
think I pause to worry about like
[TS]
00:25:27
◼
►
dilution of their brand or losing
[TS]
00:25:30
◼
►
control of their copyright with these
[TS]
00:25:31
◼
►
images as long as it's being rendered by
[TS]
00:25:33
◼
►
the text system on their device and not
[TS]
00:25:35
◼
►
in other places that actually in my
[TS]
00:25:38
◼
►
opinion reinforces their brand because
[TS]
00:25:40
◼
►
then all these apps that have these
[TS]
00:25:42
◼
►
unique looks that include apples emoji
[TS]
00:25:45
◼
►
in their text fields can't look the same
[TS]
00:25:47
◼
►
way on other platforms and that actually
[TS]
00:25:50
◼
►
I think reinforces the like design walls
[TS]
00:25:52
◼
►
are on Apple make sure that look if you
[TS]
00:25:54
◼
►
want your app to look like this cool to
[TS]
00:25:55
◼
►
have this kind of cool mood it has to be
[TS]
00:25:57
◼
►
on iOS it can't be anywhere else like
[TS]
00:25:59
◼
►
III think any any effort to restrict
[TS]
00:26:02
◼
►
apps from using emoji in the UI in this
[TS]
00:26:05
◼
►
kind of you know relatively innocent way
[TS]
00:26:07
◼
►
with the text system I think is not a
[TS]
00:26:10
◼
►
good decision and and is likely to do
[TS]
00:26:12
◼
►
more harm than good
[TS]
00:26:13
◼
►
not you know not to mention it's gonna
[TS]
00:26:15
◼
►
really annoy and anger a lot of
[TS]
00:26:17
◼
►
developers so the last point you brought
[TS]
00:26:19
◼
►
up about emoji being a differentiating
[TS]
00:26:22
◼
►
factor for Apple's platform is I think
[TS]
00:26:24
◼
►
starting to get that the angle that I'm
[TS]
00:26:27
◼
►
taking on this as a Jeremy pointed out
[TS]
00:26:30
◼
►
in emoji PD Oracle Google has an emoji
[TS]
00:26:32
◼
►
font too but there is has different
[TS]
00:26:34
◼
►
licensing terms he describes as an
[TS]
00:26:37
◼
►
open-source license that allows other
[TS]
00:26:39
◼
►
projects use it within the term set out
[TS]
00:26:40
◼
►
blah blah blah but like but it's a
[TS]
00:26:42

different license alright so it's still
[TS]
00:26:43
◼

Google so own
[TS]
00:26:44

it but it's easier to use elsewhere so

Jason Snell had a heart of gold
[TS]
00:26:47
◼
►
recently on six colors talking about
[TS]
00:26:49
◼
►
slack used to let you pick which emoji
[TS]
00:26:52
◼
►
you want do you want to see apples emoji
[TS]
00:26:53
◼
►
do you want to see Google's emoji what
[TS]
00:26:54
◼
►
are the other choices there was a bunch
[TS]
00:26:56
◼
►
all their Twitter hostile emoji emoji
[TS]
00:26:58
◼
►
once not like it had a bunch of emojis
[TS]
00:26:59
◼
►
clearly like embedded in the app somehow
[TS]
00:27:01
◼
►
because I think it was like this on all
[TS]
00:27:02
◼
►
platforms right even if you were on
[TS]
00:27:05
◼
►
Windows or whatever you can get the
[TS]
00:27:06
◼
►
Apple emoji and then obviously applets
[TS]
00:27:08
◼
►
no no and because they were using you
[TS]
00:27:10
◼
►
know using platforms so Apple must have
[TS]
00:27:13
◼
►
gone to them because now you don't have
[TS]
00:27:15
◼
►
that option anymore you get that you can
[TS]
00:27:16
◼
►
get the Apple ology and Apple platforms
[TS]
00:27:17
◼
►
but not on Windows or whatever and but
[TS]
00:27:19
◼
►
if you're on Windows you can get the
[TS]
00:27:20
◼
►
Google emoji because Google's license is
[TS]
00:27:22
◼
►
more permissive when it comes to what
[TS]
00:27:25
◼
►
Apple should or shouldn't do with its
[TS]
00:27:27
◼
►
emoji rights yes there is the angle
[TS]
00:27:29
◼
►
that's saying look if you're on Apple
[TS]
00:27:31
◼
►
platforms you get our nice emoji we
[TS]
00:27:32
◼
►
think our mode you're good they make our
[TS]
00:27:35
◼
►
platform nicer to use because we think
[TS]
00:27:38
◼
►
they're better than other people's emoji
[TS]
00:27:39
◼
►
and people can use them in their
[TS]
00:27:40
◼
►
interface like marker or whatever and
[TS]
00:27:42
◼
►
that's a differentiating factor the
[TS]
00:27:43
◼
►
other angle is if Apple decided to have
[TS]
00:27:46
◼
►
a much more permissive license for its
[TS]
00:27:48
◼
►
emoji what could happen and what I think
[TS]
00:27:52
◼
►
is already kind of sort of happening
[TS]
00:27:53
◼
►
without apples permission is they could
[TS]
00:27:56
◼
►
attain visual dominance but like they
[TS]
00:28:01
◼
►
could become the face of emoji to the
[TS]
00:28:03
◼
►
world like the the what they decide the
[TS]
00:28:06
◼
►
representation of each one of these
[TS]
00:28:07
◼
►
fairly vaguely specified emoji symbols
[TS]
00:28:10
◼
►
is what they artwork they choose and
[TS]
00:28:12
◼
►
their art style and their all their
[TS]
00:28:14
◼
►
artistic choices could come to define
[TS]
00:28:17
◼
►
emoji across the entire industry
[TS]
00:28:18
◼
►
including when they decide to change an
[TS]
00:28:21
◼
►
emoji or make a new emoji or whatever
[TS]
00:28:22
◼
►
like that they could become the de-facto
[TS]
00:28:24
◼
►
leaders of emoji merely by having the
[TS]
00:28:27
◼
►
most widely-used set uh and you know
[TS]
00:28:31
◼
►
Google's is very widely used as well I
[TS]
00:28:33
◼
►
don't think Google is winning that
[TS]
00:28:35
◼
►
battle judged based on like how often
[TS]
00:28:39
◼
►
apples emoji are copied without
[TS]
00:28:41
◼
►
permission rather than using Google's
[TS]
00:28:42
◼
►
with permission it's like given the
[TS]
00:28:44
◼
►
choice between Google lets me use it in
[TS]
00:28:46
◼
►
my app or platform so I'm an Apple
[TS]
00:28:48
◼
►
doesn't but I kind of like the Apple
[TS]
00:28:49
◼
►
ones better right so that position being
[TS]
00:28:52
◼
►
the sort of visual leader of emoji for
[TS]
00:28:54
◼
►
the entire world also has value
[TS]
00:28:57
◼
►
I'm not sure the value of saying if you
[TS]
00:28:59
◼
►
want apples nice emoji come for the owl
[TS]
00:29:01
◼
►
platform is worth the sacrifice because
[TS]
00:29:03
◼
►
this happens all the time for me like
[TS]
00:29:05
◼
►
when you're communicating with emoji if
[TS]
00:29:07
◼
►
you're just communicating with all your
[TS]
00:29:09
◼
►
Apple using friends you're all in the
[TS]
00:29:11
◼
►
same page about what the emoji looks
[TS]
00:29:12
◼
►
like right but if you're communicating
[TS]
00:29:14
◼
►
across platforms it's harder to know
[TS]
00:29:17
◼
►
what their if they're seeing the little
[TS]
00:29:19
◼
►
face with the teary eyes or the whatever
[TS]
00:29:21
◼
►
like or the the thing that looks like a
[TS]
00:29:23
◼
►
grimace that's supposed to be a grin
[TS]
00:29:24
◼
►
like there can be miscommunication
[TS]
00:29:26
◼
►
because of differences in art style and
[TS]
00:29:30
◼
►
people on Apple platforms experience
[TS]
00:29:32
◼
►
that me as an Apple user I wish that
[TS]
00:29:36
◼
►
Apple would widely license its emoji to
[TS]
00:29:38
◼
►
whoever the heck wanted it so I could be
[TS]
00:29:40
◼
►
sure that other people would see the
[TS]
00:29:41
◼
►
same things I did because I had the
[TS]
00:29:43
◼
►
expectation that given the choice
[TS]
00:29:45
◼
►
they'll choose apples emoji over
[TS]
00:29:47
◼
►
Google's whose goals is weird and ugly
[TS]
00:29:48
◼
►
or whatever like I don't know if that's
[TS]
00:29:49
◼
►
entirely true but I would prefer that
[TS]
00:29:52
◼
►
world and I think being the de facto
[TS]
00:29:54
◼
►
visual leader emoji has more value to
[TS]
00:29:56
◼
►
Apple as a company than retaining its
[TS]
00:29:59
◼
►
fancy stuff to only be on its platform
[TS]
00:30:02
◼
►
there's also the issue of like app
[TS]
00:30:05
◼
►
design quality like you know this is not
[TS]
00:30:08
◼
►
quite the same but honestly it's not
[TS]
00:30:10
◼
►
that different imagine if we were not
[TS]
00:30:13
◼
►
allowed to use the same at the San
[TS]
00:30:14
◼
►
Francisco font in our apps that Apple
[TS]
00:30:17
◼
►
had this wonderful system font that all
[TS]
00:30:19
◼
►
their apps used but the third part of
[TS]
00:30:21
◼
►
developers could not use the San
[TS]
00:30:22
◼
►
Francisco font in their apps period what
[TS]
00:30:25
◼
►
that would mean would be that every app
[TS]
00:30:26
◼
►
would have to figure out some fonts that
[TS]
00:30:29
◼
►
it could use probably make its own or by
[TS]
00:30:30
◼
►
its own license its own so what that
[TS]
00:30:32
◼
►
would do is not only would all apps look
[TS]
00:30:35
◼
►
different like way more than they do now
[TS]
00:30:37
◼
►
and sometimes in bad ways but that also
[TS]
00:30:39
◼
►
would draw some lines between apps that
[TS]
00:30:42
◼
►
had money behind them and apps that
[TS]
00:30:43
◼
►
didn't so much it would make that more
[TS]
00:30:45
◼
►
apparent and you would have you'd have
[TS]
00:30:47
◼
►
like a bigger quality a visual quality
[TS]
00:30:49
◼
►
difference making quality app design
[TS]
00:30:51
◼
►
less accessible to people and also there
[TS]
00:30:55
◼
►
would be somebody out there like you
[TS]
00:30:56
◼
►
know we would all just go use the Google
[TS]
00:30:58
◼
►
open-source fonts or whatever like there
[TS]
00:31:00
◼
►
would be some small collection of free
[TS]
00:31:03
◼
►
or low-cost fonts for developers to just
[TS]
00:31:05
◼
►
go get instead and so you would have iOS
[TS]
00:31:10
◼
►
the design as you were just saying
[TS]
00:31:11
◼
►
jointly the design would basically be
[TS]
00:31:12
◼
►
dictated by third parties like googled
[TS]
00:31:15
◼
►
who were offering some kind of
[TS]
00:31:16
◼
►
permissive font that we could use
[TS]
00:31:17
◼
►
instead the emotion situation if we
[TS]
00:31:20
◼
►
can't use them in text labels and stuff
[TS]
00:31:21
◼
►
isn't that different because the fact is
[TS]
00:31:24
◼
►
app design is including emoji now that
[TS]
00:31:27
◼
►
is happening it's been happening it's
[TS]
00:31:29
◼
►
going to happen more emoji is how is is
[TS]
00:31:32
◼
►
a is becoming an increasing part of how
[TS]
00:31:35
◼
►
people use computers what how people
[TS]
00:31:38
◼
►
expect to be able to use apps what
[TS]
00:31:40
◼
►
people how how things should look how
[TS]
00:31:42
◼
►
people expect things to look so a lot of
[TS]
00:31:45
◼
►
apps want or need to use emoji in their
[TS]
00:31:47
◼
►
UI and if we can't use Apple's emoji
[TS]
00:31:50
◼
►
there we're gonna have to go get our own
[TS]
00:31:52
◼
►
made which almost no one can afford to
[TS]
00:31:54
◼
►
do this with the biggest companies or go
[TS]
00:31:57
◼
►
you know license some open-source just
[TS]
00:31:59
◼
►
so you go use some open source one like
[TS]
00:32:00
◼
►
Google's if we I don't even know if
[TS]
00:32:02
◼
►
we're allowed to put their license but I
[TS]
00:32:03
◼
►
know it's pretty permissive so maybe an
[TS]
00:32:05
◼
►
English case what you said is right John
[TS]
00:32:07
◼
►
in which case then you know app then all
[TS]
00:32:09
◼
►
third-party apps on iOS looked like
[TS]
00:32:11
◼
►
these weird other emoji and then apples
[TS]
00:32:13
◼
►
look weird by comparison you know so
[TS]
00:32:15
◼
►
that's not a good situation to be in
[TS]
00:32:17
◼
►
which is why I think like for the same
[TS]
00:32:20
◼
►
reason that we are allowed to use the
[TS]
00:32:22
◼
►
San Francisco font in our apps on iOS as
[TS]
00:32:25
◼
►
long as we don't like rip out that font
[TS]
00:32:27
◼
►
and bring it to Android for that same
[TS]
00:32:29
◼
►
reason we should also be able to use the
[TS]
00:32:31
◼
►
Apple emoji set in our you eyes as long
[TS]
00:32:34
◼
►
as that emoji set does not leave iOS
[TS]
00:32:36
◼
►
well I wanted to be used on Android too
[TS]
00:32:38
◼
►
because I want the uniformity but as for
[TS]
00:32:40
◼
►
using it just in iOS Apple does have a
[TS]
00:32:43
◼
►
point which I can imagine being made in
[TS]
00:32:45
◼
►
some future to view that would be
[TS]
00:32:46
◼
►
secession if it hasn't already in that
[TS]
00:32:48
◼
►
they're not gonna say this but it would
[TS]
00:32:51
◼
►
almost be better if you if you like
[TS]
00:32:53
◼
►
ripped off the image as a ping and put
[TS]
00:32:56
◼
►
it in your app than if you did it as a
[TS]
00:32:58
◼
►
character because if you do it as a
[TS]
00:33:00
◼
►
character Apple changes its emoji font
[TS]
00:33:03
◼
►
from time to time and your UI like if
[TS]
00:33:06
◼
►
they changed that star to be something
[TS]
00:33:08
◼
►
totally different and it clashes with
[TS]
00:33:09
◼
►
you UI all of sudden because it's not
[TS]
00:33:11
◼
►
yellow anymore and you expected it to be
[TS]
00:33:12
◼
►
yellow or the cloud that used to look a
[TS]
00:33:14
◼
►
certain way it looks a totally different
[TS]
00:33:15
◼
►
way and you know sometimes they change
[TS]
00:33:17
◼
►
the the emoji so much that semantically
[TS]
00:33:20
◼
►
doesn't even you know convey the same
[TS]
00:33:22
◼
►
message
[TS]
00:33:22
◼
►
it's probably not a good idea to use a
[TS]
00:33:25
◼
►
little graphic that you don't control as
[TS]
00:33:28
◼
►
part of your user interface unless
[TS]
00:33:29
◼
►
you're willing to chase that around but
[TS]
00:33:31
◼
►
of course once you start taking ripping
[TS]
00:33:32
◼
►
off the image of it that's even worse in
[TS]
00:33:34
◼
►
terms of Apple getting all uppity about
[TS]
00:33:36
◼
►
it's a copyright and everything so again
[TS]
00:33:39
◼
►
if they gave a permissive license and
[TS]
00:33:41
◼
►
just consider these like these are free
[TS]
00:33:42
◼
►
glyphs that you can use in your thing if
[TS]
00:33:44
◼
►
you want it you know that's the case
[TS]
00:33:45
◼
►
where I would say if you want to use it
[TS]
00:33:47
◼
►
as your user interface you can only do
[TS]
00:33:48
◼
►
it on an Apple platform so it not on any
[TS]
00:33:49
◼
►
other ones and then that the license
[TS]
00:33:52
◼
►
would say if you want to use it as you
[TS]
00:33:54
◼
►
know as text or like if someone types
[TS]
00:33:56
◼
►
text and they want to see like in the
[TS]
00:33:57
◼
►
slack application on Windows that would
[TS]
00:33:59
◼
►
be the case where you say fine you can
[TS]
00:34:00
◼
►
use our emoji just don't use them in
[TS]
00:34:02
◼
►
your user interface on Windows but it
[TS]
00:34:03
◼
►
you can use them for typing on those
[TS]
00:34:05
◼
►
anyway I think there's a thing there's
[TS]
00:34:07
◼
►
definitely a way for Apple to sort of
[TS]
00:34:11
◼
►
have their cake and eat it too and I
[TS]
00:34:12
◼
►
don't think the the way that is the most
[TS]
00:34:14
◼
►
benefit to Apple you're setting aside
[TS]
00:34:16
◼
►
developers the most been an apple is
[TS]
00:34:18
◼
►
keeping it so tight that you know that
[TS]
00:34:20
◼
►
people can use it even on Apple's
[TS]
00:34:22
◼
►
platform and I don't even think it's
[TS]
00:34:24
◼
►
gonna eat it just to confine it to a
[TS]
00:34:25
◼
►
because I don't think there's any
[TS]
00:34:26
◼
►
advantage or I don't think the advantage
[TS]
00:34:29
◼
►
is worth being that restrictive and
[TS]
00:34:32
◼
►
saying come to Apple for our cool emoji
[TS]
00:34:34
◼
►
because people won't and some other
[TS]
00:34:36
◼
►
uglier form of emoji will spread
[TS]
00:34:37
◼
►
everywhere and then Apple people will
[TS]
00:34:38
◼
►
feel weird because they'll send you the
[TS]
00:34:40
◼
►
grimacing face and other people will see
[TS]
00:34:41
◼
►
something different and not understand
[TS]
00:34:42
◼
►
what you're saying and that will make
[TS]
00:34:44
◼
►
Apple people feel marginalized rather
[TS]
00:34:45
◼
►
than the other way around I just want us
[TS]
00:34:49
◼
►
to be able to use some OG on Apple
[TS]
00:34:50
◼
►
platforms just like Marco said is that
[TS]
00:34:53
◼
►
so much to ask
[TS]
00:34:54
◼
►
yeah I mean I've been following the drum
[TS]
00:34:56
◼
►
but I'm sure I'm assuming that that
[TS]
00:34:58
◼
►
there'll be some nuances there because I
[TS]
00:35:00
◼
►
think Apple's goal is to make sure emoji
[TS]
00:35:02
◼
►
and stuff looks nice on their own
[TS]
00:35:04
◼
►
platform right I don't think they're
[TS]
00:35:06
◼
►
gonna be so restrictive as the you know
[TS]
00:35:07
◼
►

our show I started using its adieu app
[TS]
00:36:52
◼
►
this past winter I had only one well
[TS]
00:36:55
◼
►
I'll get there okay I had always kind of
[TS]
00:36:57
◼
►
used reminders the bill Tina rappley
[TS]
00:37:00
◼
►
reminders app very lightly like I'd have
[TS]
00:37:02
◼
►
it remind me of maybe one thing a week
[TS]
00:37:04
◼
►
and you know simple stuff like take out
[TS]
00:37:06
◼
►
the garbage you know stuff like that
[TS]
00:37:07
◼
►
I very lightly used it and it was never
[TS]
00:37:11
◼
►
really never ly a habit for overcast
[TS]
00:37:13
◼
►
planning I kept a task paper document
[TS]
00:37:16
◼
►
since the beating of overcast and even
[TS]
00:37:18
◼
►
before that since for a lot of
[TS]
00:37:19
◼
►
Instapaper
[TS]
00:37:20
◼
►
and I still find the test paper format
[TS]
00:37:23
◼
►
really nice for like planning a software
[TS]
00:37:25
◼
►
release for an indie developer like me
[TS]
00:37:27
◼
►
but this past holiday season I was just
[TS]
00:37:29
◼
►
super busy and like everything in my
[TS]
00:37:31
◼
►
life was like half done projects and
[TS]
00:37:34
◼
►
things I had to you know worry about and
[TS]
00:37:36
◼
►
check in on and and try to complete all
[TS]
00:37:38
◼
►
this crazy stuff and I finally started
[TS]
00:37:39
◼
►
using reminders very heavily and what
[TS]
00:37:44
◼
►
really got me into it was Siri capture
[TS]
00:37:48
◼
►
see refresh hurts me a lot
[TS]
00:37:50
◼
►
but it's pretty good at reminders like
[TS]
00:37:53
◼
►
it's you know it's not perfect but it's
[TS]
00:37:56
◼
►
it's close enough that it's like it's
[TS]
00:37:57
◼
►
useful and I found it to be a very nice
[TS]
00:38:00
◼
►
way to capture like as I'm out as I'm
[TS]
00:38:03
◼
►
thinking about something oh
[TS]
00:38:04
◼
►
remind me to blah blah blah you know
[TS]
00:38:05
◼
►
okay the problem with Apple reminders is
[TS]
00:38:08
◼
►
that while the Siri capture on Apple
[TS]
00:38:11
◼
►
reminders is great
[TS]
00:38:13
◼
►
pretty much everything else about it is
[TS]
00:38:15
◼
►
terrible like the the only reason why I
[TS]
00:38:18
◼
►
ever used reminders to enter tasks is
[TS]
00:38:20
◼
►
because I'd never had to actually use
[TS]
00:38:23
◼
►
the reminders app to enter a task
[TS]
00:38:25
◼
►
creating a task on the reminders app is
[TS]
00:38:27
◼
►
awful like the the UI is incredibly
[TS]
00:38:30
◼
►
clunky it's ugly it's hideous it still
[TS]
00:38:33
◼
►
has a lot of like weird like iOS you
[TS]
00:38:36
◼
►
know pre iOS seven kind of behaviors and
[TS]
00:38:38
◼
►
looks and everything it and and it's
[TS]
00:38:41
◼
►
it's especially horrible on the Mac like
[TS]
00:38:44
◼
►
it's way worse than the Mac but no does
[TS]
00:38:45
◼
►
an iOS it the Apple reminders on the Mac
[TS]
00:38:47
◼
►
is honestly embarrassing and and maybe
[TS]
00:38:51
◼
►
at some point they're going to do what
[TS]
00:38:53
◼
►
they did with notes where they like they
[TS]
00:38:54
◼
►
totally redid the Notes app a few years
[TS]
00:38:56
◼
►
back and made it awesome maybe that's
[TS]
00:38:57
◼
►
coming to reminders I hope it's coming
[TS]
00:38:58
◼
►
reminders but we don't know whether that
[TS]
00:39:00
◼
►
will happen yet so I started seeking out
[TS]
00:39:02
◼
►
third-party apps to to help me finally
[TS]
00:39:05
◼
►
do either of you use reminders or to do
[TS]
00:39:07
◼
►
apps because of hearing a friend of the
[TS]
00:39:12
◼
►
show Mike Hurley talked about it
[TS]
00:39:14
◼
►
constantly I think it was Mike I'm
[TS]
00:39:16
◼
►
pretty sure it was Mike now I'm having
[TS]
00:39:17
◼
►
second thoughts but anyway somebody in
[TS]
00:39:19
◼
►
my life had talked about the app D you e
[TS]
00:39:21
◼
►
do and because I decided that I wanted
[TS]
00:39:25
◼
►
to have occasional periodic reminders
[TS]
00:39:28
◼
►
that were repeating and all I wanted was
[TS]
00:39:30
◼
►
reminders I didn't want to go all the
[TS]
00:39:31
◼
►
way into like OmniFocus or anything like
[TS]
00:39:33
◼
►
that I just wanted to have reminders are
[TS]
00:39:35
◼
►
repeated I've started using D you e do
[TS]
00:39:38
◼
►
and if I'm honest I kind of really love
[TS]
00:39:41
◼
►
it because it does exactly what I want
[TS]
00:39:44
◼
►
which is reminders often times but not
[TS]
00:39:46
◼
►
always periodic and most importantly
[TS]
00:39:49
◼
►
that will nag you to death which is
[TS]
00:39:52
◼
►
exactly what I need because I'm the kind
[TS]
00:39:54
◼
►
of person that'll be like oh yeah take
[TS]
00:39:55
◼
►
out the trash yeah sure I'll do that in
[TS]
00:39:57
◼
►
ten minutes
[TS]
00:39:57
◼
►
you know like clear you know clear the
[TS]
00:39:59
◼
►
notification whatever you can't clear
[TS]
00:40:02
◼
►
the notification until you did it
[TS]
00:40:03
◼
►
mistake you can never clear never I mean
[TS]
00:40:06
◼
►
unless it's complete I know I'm not
[TS]
00:40:08
◼
►
saying it's not a KC problem but I know
[TS]
00:40:10
◼
►
myself one has to know oneself and I
[TS]
00:40:13
◼
►
know myself and myself is the kind of
[TS]
00:40:15
◼
►
person oh yeah sure I'll get that in a
[TS]
00:40:19
◼
►
and so I have been using do for I want
[TS]
00:40:22
◼
►
to say three to six months and I kind of
[TS]
00:40:26
◼
►
love it I just used the default
[TS]
00:40:28
◼
►
reminders one
[TS]
00:40:30
◼
►
I'm also because it was the one that had
[TS]
00:40:32
◼
►
serious support for so long when no
[TS]
00:40:33
◼
►
other ones did right so remind me to
[TS]
00:40:35
◼
►
whatever like that's one of the few
[TS]
00:40:36
◼
►
times I use Siri to do that occasionally
[TS]
00:40:39
◼
►
I will type them in and you can actually
[TS]
00:40:41
◼
►
type like remind me to you know do
[TS]
00:40:43
◼
►
whatever at 7:00 p.m. tomorrow and that
[TS]
00:40:45
◼
►
will save you from having to look at the
[TS]
00:40:47
◼
►
UI that lets you pick dates and times
[TS]
00:40:48
◼
►
which is not fun to use but that's it
[TS]
00:40:52
◼
►
just never use any third-party apps I
[TS]
00:40:54
◼
►
use it very rarely it's usually like and
[TS]
00:40:57
◼
►
like Marco said usually for capture like
[TS]
00:40:59
◼
►
I'm in a situation where however I would
[TS]
00:41:03
◼
►
normally make sure I remembered you this
[TS]
00:41:05
◼
►
is not available I can't put it on my
[TS]
00:41:07
◼
►
calendar or that would be too cumbersome
[TS]
00:41:08
◼
►
but my phone is there so you just pick
[TS]
00:41:10
◼
►
it up baba remind me to do the bubble
[TS]
00:41:11
◼
►
blah right you know remind me to go pick
[TS]
00:41:13
◼
►
up my daughter and in 15 minutes to
[TS]
00:41:15
◼
►
remind me to I'm you know I usually
[TS]
00:41:17
◼
►
Ferb's you know ro I mean just throw the
[TS]
00:41:19
◼
►
sauce in ten minutes or whatever that's
[TS]
00:41:21
◼
►
why I get annoyed that it won't do a
[TS]
00:41:22
◼
►
repeating reminder for 10 minutes
[TS]
00:41:23
◼
►
because I don't know why because it
[TS]
00:41:25
◼
►
won't but but yeah not very frequently
[TS]
00:41:29
◼
►
but when I do use it it's Syria and it's
[TS]
00:41:31
◼
►
on my phone and it's plain old reminders
[TS]
00:41:33
◼
►
quick addendum I should mention that for
[TS]
00:41:36
◼
►
shopping lists and only shopping lists I
[TS]
00:41:39
◼
►
also use the app any list which I love
[TS]
00:41:42
◼
►
it's really really great at doing shared
[TS]
00:41:45
◼
►
shopping lists before everyone writes me
[TS]
00:41:48
◼
►
email yes I am aware that reminders can
[TS]
00:41:51
◼
►
do shared reminders lists I am I am
[TS]
00:41:55
◼
►
aware that that's a thing I don't care
[TS]
00:41:57
◼
►
for it I much prefer any list for
[TS]
00:41:59
◼
►
reasons that are not interesting for
[TS]
00:42:01
◼
►
right now but anyway I use any list and
[TS]
00:42:04
◼
►
I don't remember if I stumbled upon that
[TS]
00:42:06
◼
►
myself or if that's because Jason Snell
[TS]
00:42:08
◼
►
who is also in any list person had told
[TS]
00:42:11
◼
►
me about it it could have been either
[TS]
00:42:13
◼
►
but one way or another if you're the
[TS]
00:42:15
◼
►
kind of person that wants to have a
[TS]
00:42:17
◼
►
that's shared between you and your
[TS]
00:42:18
◼
►
partner which is me I'd wouldn't I'm
[TS]
00:42:21
◼
►
sorry your partner isn't me you know
[TS]
00:42:23
◼
►
what I mean
[TS]
00:42:23
◼
►
point I'm driving at is that if you want
[TS]
00:42:26
◼
►
to have a shared shopping list I cannot
[TS]
00:42:28
◼
►
recommend any list enough the notes will
[TS]
00:42:30
◼
►
do that now to the fancy version of
[TS]
00:42:32
◼
►
notes has that's true that's true can
[TS]
00:42:34
◼
►
you can make a shared note and you can
[TS]
00:42:35
◼
►
put those little radio buttons on it's
[TS]
00:42:37
◼
►
not as nice as any list but you know if
[TS]
00:42:39
◼
►
you're if you're it's a good way to try
[TS]
00:42:41
◼
►
out like you see if this is a thing that
[TS]
00:42:42
◼
►
you'll want to use and you don't want to
[TS]
00:42:44
◼
►
bother downloading another I've just
[TS]
00:42:45
◼
►
tried and notes and if it seems nice get
[TS]
00:42:46
◼
►
a better app like any list yeah yeah I
[TS]
00:42:48
◼
►
keep mean to try any list because of
[TS]
00:42:50
◼
►
your recommendations Casey mostly I
[TS]
00:42:51
◼
►
think it's like I've heard you mention
[TS]
00:42:53
◼
►
her a few times and yeah because I would
[TS]
00:42:55
◼
►
like to like right now I just have a
[TS]
00:42:57
◼
►
shopping list and the way we share it is
[TS]
00:42:58
◼
►
TIFF tells me hey add this to your
[TS]
00:43:00
◼
►
shopping list
[TS]
00:43:01
◼
►
oh that's barbaric that's far better
[TS]
00:43:03
◼
►
that's a good system that I bet she
[TS]
00:43:04
◼
►
likes oh I have a worse problem like
[TS]
00:43:06
◼
►
I've I've been trying to get my wife to
[TS]
00:43:08
◼
►
use any kind of shared grocery list I
[TS]
00:43:11
◼
►
bought and subscribe to any list I've
[TS]
00:43:12
◼
►
tried using notes I've tried using other
[TS]
00:43:14
◼
►
third-party apps whose names I've
[TS]
00:43:15
◼
►
forgotten it's just go down my purchases
[TS]
00:43:17
◼
►
and just the problem is she she just
[TS]
00:43:19
◼
►
wants to use paper she just wants to use
[TS]
00:43:21
◼
►
paper it's like in her purse or in her
[TS]
00:43:23
◼
►
wallet and she wants to use the
[TS]
00:43:25
◼
►
whiteboard that's on the fridge and like
[TS]
00:43:28
◼
►
three pieces of paper in the whiteboard
[TS]
00:43:29
◼
►
I'm like but but those aren't
[TS]
00:43:30
◼
►
electronically shared and if I read it
[TS]
00:43:32
◼
►
on the like oh I didn't see it on the
[TS]
00:43:34
◼
►
whiteboard I had a separate list I wrote
[TS]
00:43:35
◼
►
down on this piece of paper so I'm stuck
[TS]
00:43:38
◼
►
outside the digital realm there's no
[TS]
00:43:40
◼
►
real computer solution to that
[TS]
00:43:41
◼
►
just like I bet TIFF enjoys the system
[TS]
00:43:43
◼
►
where she just yells things to you and
[TS]
00:43:45
◼
►
it's like paper doesn't work for me
[TS]
00:43:47
◼
►
because so right now I use the app clear
[TS]
00:43:49
◼
►
and I know I've heard they're they have
[TS]
00:43:50
◼
►
like a new beta going on that's supposed
[TS]
00:43:52
◼
►
to be a lot better but I'm not on that
[TS]
00:43:53
◼
►
beta I'm just using the old one which is
[TS]
00:43:55
◼
►
like not even updated for the iPhone 10
[TS]
00:43:56
◼
►
and everything but what I like about
[TS]
00:43:58

reorder them to be in the order that I

like banana it will be smart enough to
[TS]
00:44:38
◼

put that in the produce section so it's
[TS]
00:44:40
◼
►
also a single list will be section 2 2

00:44:43
◼

in it defaults to groceries but you can

00:44:45
◼

◼
►
that in the produce section if you enter
[TS]
00:44:51
◼

milk it's smart enough to put that in

[TS]
00:45:00
◼
►
going back to my to-do item look I've
[TS]
00:45:02
◼
►
been trying to talk about for like -
[TS]
00:45:05
◼
►
alright so what I what I really came to
[TS]
00:45:09
◼
►
want like I wanted basically something
[TS]
00:45:11
◼
►
that was fairly simple like reminders
[TS]
00:45:14
◼
►
that had great Siri integration I
[TS]
00:45:16
◼
►
basically wanted like reminders Pro like
[TS]
00:45:18
◼
►
what reminders would be if Apple did it
[TS]
00:45:21
◼
►
from scratch today and actually put
[TS]
00:45:22
◼
►
resources on it instead of just whatever
[TS]
00:45:23
◼
►
the heck is working on it and how it
[TS]
00:45:25
◼
►
works is probably nobody what I want is
[TS]
00:45:28
◼
►
reminders Pro basically I don't want to
[TS]
00:45:31
◼
►
practice getting things done or any kind
[TS]
00:45:33
◼
►
of GTD like system I know I'm not that
[TS]
00:45:36
◼
►
kind of person I respect people who do
[TS]
00:45:39
◼
►
that that's that's great for you and
[TS]
00:45:41
◼
►
that's not for me at all I want
[TS]
00:45:43
◼
►
basically a flat simple like single
[TS]
00:45:47
◼
►
screen home view of what's going on when
[TS]
00:45:51
◼
►
I complete that I'm I want to disappear
[TS]
00:45:52
◼
►
I don't want to see future items at all
[TS]
00:45:55
◼
►
until their date comes up you know I
[TS]
00:45:58
◼
►
have the concept of like separate
[TS]
00:46:00
◼
►
projects or lists but I only need like
[TS]
00:46:02
◼
►
one level of that I don't need things
[TS]
00:46:04
◼
►
like contacts and tags to also be here
[TS]
00:46:07
◼
►
like I really just need like a very
[TS]
00:46:09
◼
►
simple hierarchy very simple like flat
[TS]
00:46:11
◼
►
structure and I really dislike the
[TS]
00:46:14
◼
►
concept that most these other apps have
[TS]
00:46:16
◼
►
where they have an inbox between capture
[TS]
00:46:20
◼
►
and when it's in like it's home I don't
[TS]
00:46:23
◼
►
want that extra step I don't want to
[TS]
00:46:24
◼
►
have to review my inbox I want I want to
[TS]
00:46:26
◼
►
just say in my Siri command when I'm
[TS]
00:46:28
◼
►
recording the to-do item I want to say
[TS]
00:46:32
◼
►
where it goes right then and not have
[TS]
00:46:34
◼
►
anything in the inbox if I don't specify
[TS]
00:46:36
◼
►
a project I want like a default list
[TS]
00:46:38
◼
►
that just all the - I just arrived in
[TS]
00:46:41
◼
►
that list
[TS]
00:46:41
◼
►
this is this is basically have reminders
[TS]
00:46:43
◼
►
works just reminders is terrible in all
[TS]
00:46:46
◼
►
other ways and I've want something
[TS]
00:46:48
◼
►
better so the Mac is my primary platform
[TS]
00:46:52
◼
►
for viewing editing and completing tasks
[TS]
00:46:55
◼
►
so it must have a good Mac app my
[TS]
00:46:59
◼
►
primary capture platform is Siri on the
[TS]
00:47:02
◼
►
phone so it must have an iOS app with
[TS]
00:47:04
◼
►
Siri integration it should be able to
[TS]
00:47:06
◼
►
handle recurring tasks pretty well
[TS]
00:47:08
◼
►
because I have a lot of those and I want
[TS]
00:47:11
◼
►
whatever app I use to be an active
[TS]
00:47:13
◼
►
development on all three major Apple
[TS]
00:47:15
◼
►
platforms Mac iPhone and iPad so some
[TS]
00:47:18
◼
►
nice to haves I would like maybe to have
[TS]
00:47:21
◼
►
shared list or shared projects I think I
[TS]
00:47:24
◼
►
might someday want a web service for
[TS]
00:47:28
◼
►
some kind of API integration but I
[TS]
00:47:30
◼
►
haven't in practice actually needed that
[TS]
00:47:32
◼
►
for anything yet so maybe I won't
[TS]
00:47:33
◼
►
actually need that after all and just
[TS]
00:47:35
◼
►
kind of a nice to have like the apps
[TS]
00:47:37
◼
►
should be pretty because I'm an apple
[TS]
00:47:39
◼
►
person damn it and I like things to be
[TS]
00:47:41
◼
►
pretty like I'm like an attractive app
[TS]
00:47:44
◼
►
that is you know simple and has a little
[TS]
00:47:46
◼
►
stuff okay so Apple reminders was not
[TS]
00:47:48
◼
►
doing it for me in many ways I like it
[TS]
00:47:50
◼
►
you know I like the integration Apple
[TS]
00:47:52
◼
►
reminders is the only one that works
[TS]
00:47:55
◼
►
with Siri on the Mac because there is no
[TS]
00:47:58
◼
►
Sirikit on the Mac so any of the
[TS]
00:48:00
◼
►
third-party apps no matter how good
[TS]
00:48:02
◼
►
their Mac apps are they cannot take it
[TS]
00:48:04
◼
►
take it to do item from Siri on the Mac
[TS]
00:48:07
◼
►
that's annoying but that's an Apple
[TS]
00:48:09
◼
►
problem really that's that's not there
[TS]
00:48:10
◼
►
at the apps fault you know the Apple
[TS]
00:48:13
◼
►
reminders app will always get system
[TS]
00:48:16
◼
►
integration abilities and stuff like
[TS]
00:48:17
◼
►
that first before those are third-party
[TS]
00:48:19
◼
►
way to do it if it doesn't arrive at the
[TS]
00:48:20
◼
►
same time so there's a big advantage to
[TS]
00:48:22
◼
►
Apple reminders they're just keeping it
[TS]
00:48:23
◼
►
simple keeping in the system and
[TS]
00:48:24
◼
►
everything but again it's just it's such
[TS]
00:48:27
◼
►
a clunky app I really didn't like it
[TS]
00:48:29
◼
►
very much
[TS]
00:48:29
◼
►
I tried to do it to do it has tons of
[TS]
00:48:33
◼
►
features it's very much web service
[TS]
00:48:35
◼
►
oriented so it has really good
[TS]
00:48:37
◼
►
collaboration features shared projects
[TS]
00:48:39
◼
►
shared list API integration stuff like
[TS]
00:48:42
◼
►
that they have apps on every platform
[TS]
00:48:45
◼
►
but the two duyst Mac app is horrendous
[TS]
00:48:48
◼
►
it is basically a very poorly wrapped
[TS]
00:48:52
◼
►
web app like like slack it makes that
[TS]
00:48:55
◼
►
look native-like it's real I cannot
[TS]
00:48:57
◼
►
believe that oh it's bad it every
[TS]
00:48:59
◼
►
interaction with the todoist Mac app
[TS]
00:49:02
◼
►
feels just wrong and limited and nothing
[TS]
00:49:05
◼
►
works the way you think honestly I think
[TS]
00:49:06
◼
►
it's kind of embarrassing if if iOS is
[TS]
00:49:10
◼
►
your primary platform like I understand
[TS]
00:49:12
◼
►
like why Federico likes to do us because
[TS]
00:49:13
◼
►
iOS it's a primary platform and he needs
[TS]
00:49:15
◼
►
collaboration feature with some of his
[TS]
00:49:17
◼
►
employees and stuff so that makes total
[TS]
00:49:18
◼
►
sense but for me as somebody who works
[TS]
00:49:21
◼
►
alone on a Mac I cannot recommend it to
[TS]
00:49:23
◼
►
us at all it's it's rough I also I
[TS]
00:49:26
◼
►
couldn't get over like hearing hearing
[TS]
00:49:28
◼
►
the way that people like Federico and
[TS]
00:49:30
◼
►
Mike talk about todoist one of the
[TS]
00:49:31
◼
►
problems is that Siri doesn't really
[TS]
00:49:33
◼
►
recognize the the pronunciation todoist
[TS]
00:49:35
◼
►
you have to pronounce it wrong like two
[TS]
00:49:38
◼
►
diced or other or like I couldn't get
[TS]
00:49:40
◼
►
over that like I I know that's that's
[TS]
00:49:42
◼
►
kind of a stupid reason to not pick an
[TS]
00:49:44
◼
►
app but like even if everything else was
[TS]
00:49:46
◼
►
great about it the fact that every time
[TS]
00:49:47
◼
►
I added a reminder I have to tell my
[TS]
00:49:49
◼
►
phone to add something seduced I didn't
[TS]
00:49:51
◼
►
know if I couldn't get past so I also I
[TS]
00:49:56
◼
►
tried OmniFocus this OmniFocus seems to
[TS]
00:49:59
◼
►
be kind of like the the good default for
[TS]
00:50:02
◼
►
if you want a powerful task management
[TS]
00:50:03
◼
►
system you should probably just use
[TS]
00:50:04
◼
►
OmniFocus the omni group makes amazing
[TS]
00:50:07
◼
►
software that they have an amazing
[TS]
00:50:09
◼
►
long-standing reputation for very high
[TS]
00:50:12
◼
►
quality Mac and iOS software and and
[TS]
00:50:16
◼
►
OmniFocus has been around for a long
[TS]
00:50:17
◼
►
time it's a very mature of tons of
[TS]
00:50:19
◼
►
guides on how to use it and everything
[TS]
00:50:21
◼
►
it has first-class Siri integration it's
[TS]
00:50:23
◼
►
frequently updated very well supported
[TS]
00:50:25
◼
►
very powerful very customizable but it's
[TS]
00:50:30
◼
►
ultimately very complex it's far too
[TS]
00:50:34
◼
►
complex for me maybe someday I will
[TS]
00:50:36
◼
►
graduate to OmniFocus but I'm not ready
[TS]
00:50:39
◼
►
for that right now and I might never be
[TS]
00:50:41
◼
►
you know it has a lot of roots in
[TS]
00:50:43
◼
►
getting things done and and the kind of
[TS]
00:50:45
◼
►
people who practice that kind of like
[TS]
00:50:47
◼
►
more structured system than what I'm
[TS]
00:50:48
◼
►
looking for maybe it would be possible
[TS]
00:50:50
◼
►
to heavily customize it to be what I
[TS]
00:50:53
◼
►
want but I honestly don't have the time
[TS]
00:50:55
◼
►
or will to do that and again maybe
[TS]
00:50:57
◼
►
someday I will but for now OmniFocus is
[TS]
00:50:59
◼
►
just way too complex for me so then I
[TS]
00:51:02
◼
►
tried things things has frankly the best
[TS]
00:51:06
◼
►
Mac app I've seen like not among all the
[TS]
00:51:09
◼
►
Mac guys
[TS]
00:51:09
◼
►
to do it's a really good mac app I think
[TS]
00:51:12
◼
►
the mac app is actually better than
[TS]
00:51:13
◼
►
their iOS apps again first-class Siri
[TS]
00:51:16
◼
►
integration one thing I like about
[TS]
00:51:17
◼
►
things is that it's one syllable and
[TS]
00:51:21
◼
►
it's a regular word that C R you can
[TS]
00:51:23
◼
►
always recognize properly and it also
[TS]
00:51:25
◼
►
doesn't sound too nerdy if I'm saying it
[TS]
00:51:27
◼
►
when other people are around like if I
[TS]
00:51:30
◼
►
have to say it's a joist to Siri that's
[TS]
00:51:32
◼
►
how many focus sounds okay but a little
[TS]
00:51:35
◼
►
nerdy things you breeze right right by
[TS]
00:51:37
◼
►
you don't even hear it right on this on
[TS]
00:51:39
◼

this topic of the names of the app by

[TS]
00:51:43
◼

feel like I've been waiting too long for
[TS]
00:51:45
◼

what seems like a pretty obvious
[TS]
00:51:47
◼

advancement this I understand why
[TS]
00:51:50

circuit works the way it does with the
[TS]
00:51:51
◼

name of the app as part of the sentence
[TS]
00:51:53

then you say it but that's not how

00:51:54
◼

people want to talk to their phones even
[TS]
00:51:55
◼

if it's a nice one syllable normal word

00:52:56
◼
►
not iOS 12 make that experience better
[TS]
00:52:58
◼
►
because we do like talking to our phones
[TS]
00:53:00
◼
►
we don't like say to doused or things or
[TS]
00:53:03
◼
►
whatever yeah and and and there was
[TS]
00:53:05
◼
►
actually they actually midoriko brought
[TS]
00:53:06
◼
►
this up on connected this week the
[TS]
00:53:07
◼
►
episode that you all should have already
[TS]
00:53:08
◼
►
been listening to for the Jeremy Birds
[TS]
00:53:10
◼
►
emoji interview anyway that was also in
[TS]
00:53:12
◼
►
this episode and Federico mentioned like
[TS]
00:53:15
◼
►
like you know people have for years we
[TS]
00:53:16
◼
►
wanted Apple to have default apps choice
[TS]
00:53:19
◼
►
for things like the browser in the mail
[TS]
00:53:20
◼
►
client and I understand why they don't
[TS]
00:53:22
◼
►
do that and
[TS]
00:53:23
◼
►
you know there that's been argued to
[TS]
00:53:25
◼
►
death but this does seem like an area
[TS]
00:53:27
◼
►
where that's very easy to say yes to
[TS]
00:53:31
◼
►
like sirikit has a limited number of
[TS]
00:53:34
◼
►
intense there doesn't seem to be any
[TS]
00:53:36
◼
►
downside to enabling like a default
[TS]
00:53:39
◼
►
option for something for somebody to say
[TS]
00:53:40
◼
►
like okay things is my reminders app
[TS]
00:53:43
◼
►
like always put reminders and things you
[TS]
00:53:45
◼
►
know the X or Y is my Notes app like
[TS]
00:53:46
◼
►
that like that should be that should be
[TS]
00:53:48
◼
►
supported there should be a system-wide
[TS]
00:53:50
◼
►
preference to just default that and and
[TS]
00:53:52
◼
►
if Apple you know really wants to make
[TS]
00:53:54
◼
►
Syria awesome I hope they consider that
[TS]
00:53:56
◼
►
but anyway so go just finishing up with
[TS]
00:54:00
◼
►
things there's no shared functionality
[TS]
00:54:04
◼
►
like know kind of like shared groups or
[TS]
00:54:06
◼
►
lists or projects not like that there is
[TS]
00:54:08
◼
►
no API or public web service but they
[TS]
00:54:12
◼
►
did recently had an email in feature so
[TS]
00:54:14
◼
►
you can kind of simulate parts of it you
[TS]
00:54:15
◼
►
can like get like the add this two
[TS]
00:54:17
◼
►
things working by basically using email
[TS]
00:54:19
◼
►
as a gateway one of the annoying things
[TS]
00:54:21
◼
►
about things his head I can't figure out
[TS]
00:54:25
◼
►
how to make a new task from Siri go
[TS]
00:54:29
◼
►
directly to no project anytime you can
[TS]
00:54:33
◼
►
sit you can say like remind me today to
[TS]
00:54:34
◼
►
do this thing and things and then it
[TS]
00:54:36
◼
►
gets no project I think but it gets
[TS]
00:54:38
◼
►
today I can't figure out how to make it
[TS]
00:54:40
◼
►
go no project if you say any time it
[TS]
00:54:42
◼
►
goes to the inbox I don't want it like I
[TS]
00:54:44
◼
►
don't want anything to ever go to the
[TS]
00:54:45
◼
►
inbox ever on the Mac you can configure
[TS]
00:54:47
◼
►
it to basically skip that with quick
[TS]
00:54:49
◼
►
entry but you can't do that with Siri
[TS]
00:54:51
◼
►
kit on iOS yet and it annoys me but for
[TS]
00:54:54
◼
►
the most part I have found things pretty
[TS]
00:54:56
◼
►
good there's a couple of other small
[TS]
00:54:58
◼
►
weirdnesses so for instance the
[TS]
00:55:01
◼
►
repeating UI is really weird like once
[TS]
00:55:06
◼
►
you get it set up it's fine but creating
[TS]
00:55:08
◼
►
recurring events is very unintuitive
[TS]
00:55:10
◼
►
like I mentioned earlier that I don't
[TS]
00:55:13
◼
►
want things that are in the future to
[TS]
00:55:15
◼
►
show up until it's their time to show up
[TS]
00:55:17
◼
►
then is only done on the granularity of
[TS]
00:55:20
◼
►
the day level so you can't say don't
[TS]
00:55:24
◼
►
show up until Wednesday at 9:00 p.m.
[TS]
00:55:27
◼
►
that I have to put out the cardboard
[TS]
00:55:29
◼
►
recycling all day today I've had put out
[TS]
00:55:32
◼
►
cut the cardboard recycling on my to-do
[TS]
00:55:34
◼
►
list even though I really shouldn't do
[TS]
00:55:35
◼
►
it till 9:00 p.m. you can
[TS]
00:55:36
◼
►
a reminder to alert you of that at 9
[TS]
00:55:38
◼
►
p.m. but it's gonna show up on your list
[TS]
00:55:40
◼
►
all day I don't love that and and
[TS]
00:55:43
◼
►
finally the weather it is an active
[TS]
00:55:46
◼
►
development or not it's kind of a big
[TS]
00:55:49
◼
►
question mark with things because the
[TS]
00:55:52
◼
►
developer of a culture code went for a
[TS]
00:55:54
◼
►
very long span between previous versions
[TS]
00:55:57
◼
►
and it seemed that many times as though
[TS]
00:56:01
◼
►
the app was abandoned and it turned out
[TS]
00:56:03
◼
►
it wasn't but there were there were such
[TS]
00:56:04
◼
►
long delays that it's a little hard to
[TS]
00:56:07
◼
►
shake the fear that it might get
[TS]
00:56:09
◼
►
abandoned again or go for long spans
[TS]
00:56:11
◼
►
without updates again and so finally
[TS]
00:56:13
◼
►
after trying all these apps I finally
[TS]
00:56:15
◼
►
understand why so many of our podcaster
[TS]
00:56:19
◼
►
friends are always talking about their
[TS]
00:56:21
◼
►
frustrations with their to-do apps and
[TS]
00:56:23
◼
►
why there are we switching between them
[TS]
00:56:25
◼
►
and saying oh now I'm switching this
[TS]
00:56:26
◼
►
because this thing I know we've me about
[TS]
00:56:27
◼
►
this other app I finally get it because
[TS]
00:56:30
◼
►
it's such it's it's a hard problem like
[TS]
00:56:33
◼
►
this is a very personal app you're
[TS]
00:56:35
◼
►
you're trying to codify people's
[TS]
00:56:38
◼
►
internal mental systems in an app and
[TS]
00:56:40
◼
►
that's really hard to do in a way that
[TS]
00:56:42
◼
►
pleases many people no at none of these
[TS]
00:56:44
◼
►
apps are perfect for almost anybody
[TS]
00:56:46
◼
►
everyone is kind of 70% satisfied with
[TS]
00:56:50
◼
►
any given one at most one thing I
[TS]
00:56:53
◼
►
thought of though is that there's really
[TS]
00:56:54
◼
►
nothing saying that you have to only use
[TS]
00:56:57
◼
►
one to-do app for everything like case
[TS]
00:57:00
◼
►
you mentioned earlier that you know you
[TS]
00:57:01
◼
►
use any list for groceries and you use
[TS]
00:57:03
◼
►
do for some other stuff like mmm it that
[TS]
00:57:05
◼
►
is totally a solution like if you don't
[TS]
00:57:07
◼
►
like the way things does recurring
[TS]
00:57:09
◼
►
reminders like I could just have some
[TS]
00:57:12
◼
►
other app remind me to take out the
[TS]
00:57:14
◼
►
trash like I don't need things to be the
[TS]
00:57:16
◼
►
app that does all that stuff there's
[TS]
00:57:18
◼
►
nothing saying that you only have to use
[TS]
00:57:20
◼
►
one app for everything you can have
[TS]
00:57:23
◼
►
different to do apps for different needs
[TS]
00:57:26
◼
►
depending on what they're good at your
[TS]
00:57:28
◼
►
grocery store shopping list does not
[TS]
00:57:30
◼
►
need to necessarily be in the same app
[TS]
00:57:32
◼
►
as like your next version of your iOS
[TS]
00:57:34
◼
►
app what you're doing for it it would be
[TS]
00:57:36
◼
►
nice if one app could do multiple things
[TS]
00:57:38
◼
►
like that in a way that didn't step on
[TS]
00:57:39
◼
►
each other but doesn't have to be I've
[TS]
00:57:41
◼
►
settled on things for the time being and
[TS]
00:57:44
◼
►
I think I'm gonna be here for a while
[TS]
00:57:45
◼
►
because the Mac app is just so much
[TS]
00:57:47
◼
►
nicer than the other Mac apps
[TS]
00:57:48
◼
►
and so I like things a lot it does fit
[TS]
00:57:52
◼
►
what I want in some ways there's some
[TS]
00:57:54
◼
►
things about that that are just friction
[TS]
00:57:56
◼
►
to me but for the most part it's it's
[TS]
00:57:59
◼
►
the closest I found to good for me but
[TS]
00:58:01
◼
►
I'm also probably gonna check out any
[TS]
00:58:03
◼
►
list for grocery stuff and I'm really
[TS]
00:58:05
◼
►
curious to know whatever the heck clear
[TS]
00:58:07
◼
►
is working on for their next version for
[TS]
00:58:09
◼
►
you know other like really casual stuff
[TS]
00:58:10
◼
►
like groceries but ultimately I'm now
[TS]
00:58:13
◼
►
using it to do app and it's things and
[TS]
00:58:15
◼
►
it's pretty nice not perfect but
[TS]
00:58:18
◼
►
definitely the nicest for me once I kind
[TS]
00:58:21
◼
►
of got a feel for it it just felt really
[TS]
00:58:23
◼
►
right for for the way I like to use
[TS]
00:58:26
◼
►
things and the way I like things to to
[TS]
00:58:27
◼
►
look and work and behave and yeah there
[TS]
00:58:30
◼
►
is some friction but ultimately I like
[TS]
00:58:31
◼
►
it so thanks things
[TS]
00:58:33
◼
►
what are you use for your calendar
[TS]
00:58:35
◼
►
calendar and so how do you decide
[TS]
00:58:40
◼
►
whether something goes on your calendar
[TS]
00:58:42
◼
►
or in one of those to-do app things oh
[TS]
00:58:46
◼
►
that's that's easy a to-do app is a list
[TS]
00:58:48
◼
►
of things I need to get done a calendar
[TS]
00:58:50
◼
►
is a list of like time slots that are
[TS]
00:58:53
◼
►
booked so like you know it and this is
[TS]
00:58:55
◼
►
great apologies to people like Merlin
[TS]
00:58:57
◼
►
who have talked about this at great
[TS]
00:58:59
◼
►
length forever but like you know a
[TS]
00:59:01
◼
►
calendar entry is like a thing that I
[TS]
00:59:03
◼
►
have to do at that time so like if I
[TS]
00:59:06
◼
►
have to have a meeting with somebody or
[TS]
00:59:09
◼
►
recording a podcast like that has to
[TS]
00:59:11
◼
►
happen at a certain time that is not a
[TS]
00:59:13
◼
►
to-do entry that's a do entry as things
[TS]
00:59:16
◼
►
like you know follow-up about this thing
[TS]
00:59:18
◼
►
I had this email about like you know
[TS]
00:59:20
◼
►
stuff it's or like you know check out
[TS]
00:59:22
◼
►
the trash you know sometime today or
[TS]
00:59:24
◼
►
stuff like that that exactly wanted to
[TS]
00:59:26
◼
►
be told to take out the trash precisely
[TS]
00:59:28
◼
►
at 9:00 yes but I don't have to do it at
[TS]
00:59:30
◼
►
9:00 I have to do it sometime between
[TS]
00:59:31
◼
►
9:00 and tomorrow morning so where would
[TS]
00:59:34
◼
►
you put the fact that a plumber is
[TS]
00:59:36
◼
►
coming that's a calendar entry because
[TS]
00:59:38
◼
►
that is how that is like a thing that is
[TS]
00:59:40
◼
►
happening at a certain time it's not a
[TS]
00:59:41
◼
►
to-do item it's it's an event like
[TS]
00:59:43
◼
►
that's that's a very different you know
[TS]
00:59:45
◼
►
semantics thing I think that the line is
[TS]
00:59:47
◼
►
fuzzier than you're making it sound
[TS]
00:59:49
◼
►
because anything I feel like has a date
[TS]
00:59:52
◼
►
and a time associated with it is a
[TS]
00:59:54
◼
►
potential candidate for our calendar but
[TS]
00:59:56
◼
►
it's also a potential candidate for a
[TS]
00:59:58
◼
►
reminder but it's also a potential
[TS]
00:59:59
◼
►
candidate
