Apple going for design first and practicality never isn't surprising.

At least this has forced Apple to be honest about how they view sheeple - they have to look pretty.

If you think this is the first time Apple thought about APPEARANCE, you haven't been paying attention. I don't say that in a bad way: most people like a good appearance. Men in suits are more admired than the guy in a t-shirt. A well manicured lawn is more appealing than weeds. A mansion is more desirable than a trailer. You get the idea.

Enochlophobia is apparently another name for demophobia or ochlophobia and it's somewhat related to agoraphobia.
Is it any wonder that everything feels so goddamn crowded?

Hmmm,
Based on the new username Sander is using I'm pretty sure he's suffering from Formaspassphobia.

So the other day - for weeks on and off actually - I've been struggling with error recovery in the LALR(1) parsing algorithm.
Eventually - and i hated doing it - I decided to eliminate the feature, and give up.
Now, I sleep easier. This isn't gnawing at me anymore and I'm satisfied with my decision, despite being so angsty about making it.
It's like housecleaning where you get rid of a bunch of stuff you think you need, but it is just clutter. After the fact it feels really good.
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

Then a week later you say, "where did I put that? It's got to be here somewhere..."

I have like 3 prior iterations of a LALR(1) parser that each have their attempt at it. I'm a packrat. I don't throw code away.

You know the one...it's bundled with Windows 10.
It sure is pretty. I particularly like the hourly forecast breakdown which, for today, for each hour, says there's 0% of chance of rain. Literally, 0%, 0%, 0%, [...] %0, as far as it'll go (7am tomorrow morning).
This is neatly summarized with a single "Precipitation" graph, just under the hourly breakdown. This one says 30%.
If there's 0% chance of rain every hour until nearly 24 hours from now...how does this add up to "30% chance of rain"?
This is not a new thing. This app's been showing this sort of thing forever, as far as I can tell. Would love to see the source for that.

Smacks of a demo that was done to show what could be done and then shipped, I have written code like that...

I wouldn't know. Living in Wales means it just predicts rain all the time, and is generally spot on.

More than likely it is just pulling data from some other site/location, rather than trying to do all of the "calculations" itself.
