00:00:46 ◼   ► that API yourself chances are we'll be that great because you won't know the [TS]

00:00:49 ◼   ► pain of using it like we made an API for you go use it but we don't know what [TS]

00:00:52 ◼   ► it's like you don't have to use it anyway the suggestions I think people [TS]

00:01:11 ◼   ► the trailers nap you know find that's how much data is that actually syncing [TS]

00:01:16 ◼   ► between devices and that's fine [TS]

00:01:19 ◼   ► keyboard shortcuts think I've actually heard many people complaining of the [TS]

00:01:25 ◼   ► shortcuts are not syncing so if that is using Core Data iCloud syncing that is [TS]

00:01:31 ◼   ► really not a good recommendation for even if it's just too obscure apps to [TS]

00:01:36 ◼   ► the kind of you know the exception that proves the rule is not something that [TS]

00:01:39 ◼   ► underlies like their major apps unlike for example cloud kit which they're [TS]

00:01:43 ◼   ► building major applications like photos and everything on top of words like it [TS]

00:01:46 ◼   ► that doesn't work people are gonna notice whereas if the trailers are [TS]

00:02:12 ◼   ► completely bored until I had everything on Iowa State yosemite and it was [TS]

00:02:18 ◼   ► infuriating dunno if you if you notice about me gentlemen but I tend to use [TS]

00:02:22 ◼   ► emoji occasionally and i have shortcuts for most of my frequently used emoji and [TS]

00:02:49 ◼   ► we should really talk about it so I guess we didn't really give it a fair [TS]

00:02:52 ◼   ► time and I think one of one of you guys I guess John had written a few things [TS]

00:02:56 ◼   ► that we should probably also bring up from that interview one thing and maybe [TS]

00:03:01 ◼   ► we did talk about I'm vaguely remember talking about the thing but I [TS]

00:03:04 ◼   ► remember this paragraph or did the highlighted bit talking about react but [TS]

00:03:09 ◼   ► any used to work for Apple so what it was like when he was at a time when he [TS]

00:03:15 ◼   ► was there is one of the complaint I have about my time at Apple's that because [TS]

00:03:18 ◼   ► the culture doesn't value learning nobody reads nobody knows what's going [TS]

00:03:22 ◼   ► on the broader community people didn't know about react at all [TS]

00:03:26 ◼   ► react in that region that doesn't make me feel good because then it's like a [TS]

00:03:32 ◼   ► bad idea that have about any big company the idea that Apple still with all these [TS]

00:03:37 ◼   ► super smart people making amazing products but they're dead they're sort [TS]

00:03:40 ◼   ► of insular that they're not like they're interested in what they're doing but not [TS]

00:03:44 ◼   ► so much is that what's going on elsewhere I don't know just one person's [TS]

00:03:47 ◼   ► complaint about you know obviously one person working the whole company they [TS]

00:03:51 ◼   ► work in a small part of the company and there's there's obviously evidence that [TS]

00:03:54 ◼   ► places where this is not the case I would hold swift as an example it's [TS]

00:03:58 ◼   ► clear to design a swift heavily influenced by other languages all of [TS]

00:04:02 ◼   ► which are you know being developed outside of Apple so it's obviously not [TS]

00:04:06 ◼   ► as you know in a weird looking insular as this complaint makes it sound but the [TS]

00:04:12 ◼   ► idea that could exist at all inside Apple's kind of disappointing to me [TS]

00:04:16 ◼   ► yeah and and you know this is this is a fairly credible and relevant statement [TS]

00:04:21 ◼   ► because it was on was on UI kit in I don't know exactly what capacity but I [TS]

00:04:26 ◼   ► think a pretty high one it's so so he was a right where the discussion of [TS]

00:04:31 ◼   ► react with the most relevant in UI kit that's exactly where this is important [TS]

00:04:35 ◼   ► he was there and he is as far as I'm aware pretty well respected so you know [TS]

00:04:41 ◼   ► i i wouldn't take this comment lightly in fact when I when I first read this I [TS]

00:04:46 ◼   ► was I was really surprised that it didn't get more attention because to me [TS]

00:04:51 ◼   ► it's it's kind of a bombshell to say that because the culture doesn't value [TS]

00:04:56 ◼   ► learning nobody reads nobody knows what's going on in the broader community [TS]

00:05:00 ◼   ► those are big statements to me especially from somebody like this you [TS]

00:05:03 ◼   ► like I don't think he goes around like throwing around phrases like that [TS]

00:05:06 ◼   ► lightly but he also made by somebody who left right and that person left probably [TS]

00:05:11 ◼   ► because they weren't getting enough of you know there is new interesting novel [TS]

00:05:14 ◼   ► things [TS]

00:05:15 ◼   ► opening outside of apple an apple in some respects has to be more [TS]

00:05:18 ◼   ► conservative because you know they're big they've got a big operation down [TS]

00:05:22 ◼   ► there they can't just be chasing after the show anything else are the [TS]

00:05:25 ◼   ► directions and as we've discussed and passions it seems like the technical [TS]

00:05:31 ◼   ► resources that Apple are fairly overextended like it's very hard work [TS]

00:05:35 ◼   ► their tight deadlines they're expected to do amazing things and put in long [TS]

00:05:39 ◼   ► hours that doesn't leave much time left to be sort of reading blogs about [TS]

00:05:43 ◼   ► interesting new technology to me and not influence and really liked it ends up [TS]

00:05:47 ◼   ► personal interest you read about it but like how relevant is it because it's [TS]

00:05:51 ◼   ► like what you just come in one day oh I have an idea guys let's not forget about [TS]

00:05:54 ◼   ► you I can do something that incorporate some of the ideas that i've seen [TS]

00:05:57 ◼   ► elsewhere by reading this programming block among other frameworks they don't [TS]

00:06:01 ◼   ► go great great let's play let's go do that right that's not something that [TS]

00:06:07 ◼   ► happens if you're just doing it on your own like the people who are super [TS]

00:06:11 ◼   ► interesting that I would imagine leave Apple because you're not going to get to [TS]

00:06:14 ◼   ► do that very few people are going to get to make that kind of radical decision [TS]

00:06:19 ◼   ► and have it take place against with the example of it actually taking place [TS]

00:06:23 ◼   ► because a very important person you know an idea influenced by lots of other [TS]

00:06:29 ◼   ► languages and managed to get done even that was a fairly large effort over a [TS]

00:06:34 ◼   ► long period of time and that's [TS]

00:06:36 ◼   ► a situation that's probably not going to say and he really loved reacting the [TS]

00:06:41 ◼   ► ideas inherited what could he do with those ideas that Apple [TS]

00:06:43 ◼   ► than you know pursue something else where you can use used one of the things [TS]

00:06:50 ◼   ► that's really tough about consulting is that if I do some sort of self-directed [TS]

00:06:57 ◼   ► learning outside of work because goodness knows I'm not gonna have the [TS]

00:07:02 ◼   ► time at work unless I'm quote unquote on the bench and not building a client and [TS]

00:07:07 ◼   ► not earning money and generally a waste of space where do they actually use that [TS]

00:07:10 ◼   ► phrase on the bench I do I think it's common phrase that's certainly something [TS]

00:07:15 ◼   ► I've always said which is funny cause I'm not much of an athlete it comes from [TS]

00:07:17 ◼   ► sports but whatever I don't maybe that's bothersome to most to me that's not as [TS]

00:07:22 ◼   ► bad as circle back and keep me in the loop and all the other god-awful [TS]

00:07:26 ◼   ► corporatism parking lot parking [TS]

00:07:28 ◼   ► exactly anyway so if I do some self-directed learning let's say I don't [TS]

00:07:34 ◼   ► know maybe I learn a little bit about note for whatever reason the likelihood [TS]

00:07:38 ◼   ► that I'm going to be able to bring that back to the office in a direct way is [TS]

00:07:43 ◼   ► virtually nonexistent now there's a lot of ways in which I can bring it back to [TS]

00:07:48 ◼   ► the office in an indirect way for example a more robust knowledge of [TS]

00:07:52 ◼   ► JavaScript is going to serve me well when I'm writing JavaScript for a web [TS]

00:07:57 ◼   ► browser but the likelihood that I'm ever going to be asked to do a nude project [TS]

00:08:01 ◼   ► for work is virtually nonexistent and that's a bummer and that sucks and it's [TS]

00:08:07 ◼   ► not that we don't learn at work but it's hard it's hard when what you're learning [TS]

00:08:12 ◼   ► is so far removed from what you're doing day today and I could make and I think [TS]

00:08:17 ◼   ► john was making a pretty solid argument that react well yes it's all you I but [TS]

00:08:22 ◼   ► the mechanisms are so far removed from what Apple doesn't UIKit how do you [TS]

00:08:26 ◼   ► really applied that if you're a you I can engineer kind of so discontent and [TS]

00:08:32 ◼   ► agitation like boy if you really turned on by these exciting developments that [TS]

00:08:37 ◼   ► are happening elsewhere in the new go back to work and realize [TS]

00:08:40 ◼   ► i cant like forget about it and direct application of knowledge like I could do [TS]

00:08:43 ◼   ► I get the right now but like I can't even incorporate these ideas into my [TS]

00:08:46 ◼   ► work to the degree that I think I should be able to get some ideas ideas are [TS]

00:08:51 ◼   ► small I guess I can apply them to what I'm actually doing in this new UI [TS]

00:08:54 ◼   ► framework but some ideas are large and it's like this idea of money make sense [TS]

00:08:57 ◼   ► that the scale of like how is the API design how was what is the model of UI [TS]

00:09:03 ◼   ► interaction like the model of reactive so much different than i love you i [TS]

00:09:06 ◼   ► kidded such a big idea that you know it's like structure not like details [TS]

00:09:12 ◼   ► that have you apply that if you're not going to say I'm gonna make some home [TS]

00:09:16 ◼   ► who you know I paradigm and that's not something you get to do ya right do we [TS]

00:09:29 ◼   ► car related stuff our first bunch of this week is our friends once again at [TS]

00:09:34 ◼   ► cards against humanity now last last time they sponsored us they sent John it [TS]

00:09:40 ◼   ► hoster to review instead of doing a typical a dream I actually have no ad [TS]

00:09:44 ◼   ► copy for them they didn't give me any so this week they have sent John another [TS]

00:09:50 ◼   ► toaster John what did you think of your current duster alright no no contact us [TS]

00:09:56 ◼   ► when you want to know why they don't talk about toasters listen to the last [TS]

00:09:59 ◼   ► episode this toasters the Panasonic NBG 110 p [TS]

00:10:05 ◼   ► raining when I haven't listened to them in a long time so but my recollection is [TS]

00:10:14 ◼   ► that something that I talked about on the show was the idea that I seem [TS]

00:10:19 ◼   ► toasters that seemed to use different technology to to heat the food I was [TS]

00:10:25 ◼   ► like boy this is great I bet these are gonna hit up faster in heat more evenly [TS]

00:10:28 ◼   ► and pretty soon all toasters will be like this [TS]

00:10:31 ◼   ► when I went to go buy toasters I looked around I didn't see any high-tech those [TS]

00:10:35 ◼   ► who think maybe I was just imagining it was bad and the eighties and nineties I [TS]

00:10:39 ◼   ► just forgot about it but all the toasters back to the same old you know [TS]

00:10:43 ◼   ► designed that I'd seen in the past while this Panasonic coasters very close to [TS]

00:10:47 ◼   ► the sort of futuristic you know advanced toasters that I was thinking of that I [TS]

00:10:51 ◼   ► thought all toasters would be like it has a hearing on the bottom looks [TS]

00:10:55 ◼   ► certain normal but it's got a heating element to getting out into the top one [TS]

00:10:58 ◼   ► of which is near infrared and one of which is far infrared one of them [TS]

00:11:03 ◼   ► someone in the chatroom tell me which is which I'm assuming it's the near gives [TS]

00:11:07 ◼   ► off lots of visible light so it's almost like toaster has a big light inside it [TS]

00:11:11 ◼   ► but that's actually part of the heating element anyway [TS]

00:11:13 ◼   ► bottom line is this thing make toaster really fast it was like a minute and 30 [TS]

00:11:18 ◼   ► seconds faster than maybe expensive toaster nothing like double the speed [TS]

00:11:23 ◼   ► right and was fairly even is only one element on the bottom 20 mins tops that [TS]

00:11:26 ◼   ► would you put if you put four slices of toast there's not quite as good as [TS]

00:11:30 ◼   ► having two elements eating them but wow is it definitely fast is that faster [TS]

00:11:34 ◼   ► than a slot toaster at me because that's one of the advantages that the slot [TS]

00:11:37 ◼   ► toaster people usually site is it goes faster maybe I do not want to time it [TS]

00:12:17 ◼   ► on it [TS]

00:12:17 ◼   ► power but not like a power button to turn on the 22 toast food but a power [TS]

00:12:22 ◼   ► button as in now to toasters on now you can use the controls that are on the [TS]

00:12:25 ◼   ► toaster like it and so you need to remember to turn it off or maybe you [TS]

00:12:32 ◼   ► don't members are not our nose like a parasitic power loss if you don't turn [TS]

00:12:36 ◼   ► the power off it's very strange and the controls in the front this is big on [TS]

00:12:39 ◼   ► having presets [TS]

00:12:40 ◼   ► where it's like instead of it does have control for temperature controls for [TS]

00:12:44 ◼   ► time though but your digital and the temperature settings are like five or [TS]

00:12:47 ◼   ► six little different settings that you can set and you know how to do each time [TS]

00:12:50 ◼   ► but it also has buttons for various types of food and if I had to guess what [TS]

00:12:56 ◼   ► these you know what kind of buttons you would have a toaster six of them I would [TS]

00:12:59 ◼   ► not get the first one is toast fine I guess that one second one is waffle [TS]

00:13:29 ◼   ► gone and I you just had to use the normal controls that would be better [TS]

00:13:31 ◼   ► anyway this is a very interesting post I think this was the sweet home pick for [TS]

00:13:35 ◼   ► the best toaster it toast bread really fast it's kind of small you can't fit [TS]

00:13:40 ◼   ► for full-size pieces of bread into it the trade does slide out when you open [TS]

00:13:44 ◼   ► the door [TS]

00:13:45 ◼   ► it has a lot of things to recommend it not bad but it's a weird it seems like [TS]

00:13:50 ◼   ► it might be it do you think it would be a fair pic if you had like you do [TS]

00:13:55 ◼   ► concerns about counter space usage it's very high though in like I think I'll [TS]

00:14:00 ◼   ► give up like it's just about like half an inch to narrative to put two slices [TS]

00:14:05 ◼   ► of bread side-by-side as frustrating I like you try to put it says a for a [TS]

00:14:08 ◼   ► slice toaster but you gotta have some pretty darn small bread you cannot get [TS]

00:14:16 ◼   ► you can fit them in their alleged and smashing together in that that just [TS]

00:14:20 ◼   ► doesn't feel comfortable so I wouldn't sacrifice I would I would give up that [TS]

00:14:25 ◼   ► easily just be able to hit four slices of toast in it but can't argue with [TS]

00:14:29 ◼   ► speed Superfest the bread slice count that as poster advertising the cantos it [TS]

00:14:34 ◼   ► once it's kind of like being number of people that tense advertise they can [TS]

00:14:38 ◼   ► sleep habits like you basically always have to like add to [TS]

00:14:45 ◼   ► John how do you think this toaster ranks among the other now to that you have [TS]

00:14:49 ◼   ► stuff it has a lot of things to recommend that over the previous poster [TS]

00:14:53 ◼   ► but the previous poster is just so much more normal like it's slower but I think [TS]

00:14:58 ◼   ► it did the previous one did a better job at four slices of bread and actually fit [TS]

00:15:01 ◼   ► four slices it seemed even more evenly the controls are definitely more [TS]

00:15:06 ◼   ► conventional I would probably pick this weird crazy fancy toaster over the [TS]

00:15:09 ◼   ► previous one just because it has some advantages the other one is like just [TS]

00:15:14 ◼   ► does everything ok I think I would I don't know it's tough choice I think it [TS]

00:15:19 ◼   ► would probably just edging the bread in there and just be happy as opposed to [TS]

00:33:18 ◼   ► expand down as we're able to but I don't think it's impossible for Apple to make [TS]

00:33:25 ◼   ► margins on its theoretical car that would make him cry because Apple is [TS]

00:33:30 ◼   ► better way simply the new internal combustion engine car already has the [TS]

00:33:36 ◼   ► some of the expertise and contacts to do the battery stuff and you know they [TS]

00:33:40 ◼   ► already buy a lot of lithium batteries yeah like there is definite synergies [TS]

00:33:45 ◼   ► there but like I I don't entirely by the story in a bit like almost every [TS]

00:33:48 ◼   ► organizing against it and and even the TV for knows where to get out CDs from [TS]

00:33:53 ◼   ► that will construct something inside it like is it a low margin business AppleTV [TS]

00:33:56 ◼   ► wouldn't be low margin you know me at like at Apple TV will not be like oh we [TS]

00:34:00 ◼   ► make $2 every TV if Apple makes a car it will not be a low margin car I don't [TS]

00:34:04 ◼   ► even know what the morning stars government subsidies being factored in [TS]

00:39:59 ◼   ► they would make they would make the UI in the interface inside much better than [TS]

00:40:02 ◼   ► it is now hopefully I mean there are areas for simplification in the interior [TS]

00:40:06 ◼   ► car that you would hope I mean maybe not today's appt only lost faith in their [TS]

00:40:50 ◼   ► doing a car would would serve for Apple now maybe would keep your engineers [TS]

00:40:57 ◼   ► entertained we've talked on and off about how the worst reason why not say [TS]

00:41:02 ◼   ► it's good reason but engineers designers entertained maybe whatever the case may [TS]

00:41:52 ◼   ► leveraged differently and and there are other examples I don't think I can think [TS]

00:41:56 ◼   ► of off the top of my head but what if they had some crazy new battery [TS]

00:42:00 ◼   ► technology and the reason it's not an iOS devices right now or or MacBooks [TS]

00:42:05 ◼   ► right now is because it's just too freakin big deal maybe these batteries [TS]

00:42:09 ◼   ► are hugely hugely hugely efficient they can charge in 12 seconds but but [TS]

00:42:15 ◼   ► unfortunately they're just freakin massive and so the only thing that this [TS]

00:42:20 ◼   ► is really good for is the electric vehicle [TS]

00:42:23 ◼   ► granted this all hugely hypothetical but in that case maybe they would have [TS]

00:42:29 ◼   ► something to contribute and that seems to me to be the kind of thing that that [TS]

00:42:34 ◼   ► would make apple say you know maybe we should give the shot some sort of either [TS]

00:42:39 ◼   ► different and interesting application of an existing technology or even better [TS]

00:42:43 ◼   ► some sort of brand new technology that for whatever reason they just cant [TS]

00:42:48 ◼   ► shoehorned into a iPad or an iPhone or MacBook Air MacBook Pro or whatever it [TS]
