History Will Not Be Kind to Jony Ive

#.blogit #apple #design | A scathing but undisputable take from Jason Koebler at Motherboard. "Ive, Apple's Chief Design Officer, is leaving the company. He leaves a legacy that made its products hard to repair and impossible to upgrade."

Deprecating scripting

#.blogit #apple #macos #perl #python #ruby #scripting | I'm tempted to write my own piece on Apple deprecating the scripting runtimes, but I find myself overly emotionally attached to the topic. I'm sure my thoughts will come out over time, but Dr. Drang's post covers most of my points very well.

Sources: Apple is acquiring music recognition app Shazam

#.blogit #apple #music #shazam #siri | I've been enjoying the simiplicity of "Hey Siri, what song is this," and I think that Apple going ahead and outright acquiring Shazam is a prudent business move.

LivePhotosKit JS

#.blogit #apple #javascript #livephoto #photo | Did you know that there's a javascript library for playing Apple's Live Photos on the web? It has a full API for customizing controls and playback options. I'm not certain I'll find anything useful to do with it, but smart move on Apple's part to start opening the format up to legitimate use outside of Photos.

Thank You, Sal

#.blogit #apple #automation #news | Sal Saghoians, "Czar of User Scripting & Automation," has departed from Apple. This roundup compiled by Micahel Tsai offers highlights of comments from the community. I join the mass speculation that this is a bad sign for the future of people like me who spend as much time automating Macs as they do working on them. The reason this is notable is not that Sal was let go, it's that his position was *eliminated*. It's not a matter of personal conflict, it's a sign that Apple might not see a future for the automation that I love on macOS (and hoped for on iOS, someday).

The new MacBook Pro is kind of great for hackers

#.blogit #apple #macbook #usbc | I'm one of the many who have been critically speculating about the new MacBook Pro. It's something I don't usually do without getting my hands on one, but "no escape key!" and "no function keys!" and "too many dongles, not enough ports!" have escaped my mouth on several podcasts now. This is a refreshing take that goes back to my usual philosophy of "give it a year and see if you still want to go backwards."

Exporter for Notes.app - Export or Backup Notes from Apple's OSX Notes app to Plain Text .txt

#.blogit #apple #notes #plaintext #text | There's been a lot of interest in the latest version of the Notes app from Apple. While it offers an excellent, ubiquitous tool for note taking, there are concerns about portability (at least within my little circle where that's long been a topic of discussion). This little app bridges Notes with plain text, offering a little peace of mind for forward-thinking plain text lovers.
