butt dickus posted:why are you searching for civil twilight and not civil dusk? google gives you civil dusk when you ask for dusk so you don't have to use dork words. asking Siri "when is dusk" gives you sunset, not the end of civil twilight. asking Siri "when is civil dusk" Bings! asking Siri "what is dusk" gives you Wikipedia asking Siri "what is civil dusk" gives you Wolfram Alpha. this is the new best incantation. tyvm.

Linguica posted:When I intend to go run for an hour along roads with cars on them, it is nice to be able to ask my phone when it will be fully dark outside so I can make sure to start running at least an hour before then. You seem overly upset that anyone would want to do something like that "at least an hour", so not the exact number doesn't even matter.

yeah but it sucks how you have to spend hours trying to figure out how Apple has decided a conversation is supposed to work instead of being able to customise your own phrases to trigger whatever macros you want

the gui revolution happened when early good design established a situation where the actions a user could take, and the features the software had, were plainly visible in a way which users could understand with a minimum of training. you could reasonably, by yourself, walk your way through a piece of software, and be reasonably sure that if you didn't "see" a given feature or option then it does not exist digital assistants seems a pipe dream unless there is some real ai breakthrough where the actions a user could take would be some graspable subset of human interactions

theflyingexecutive posted:this is not true though??? civil twilight begins at sunset. civil dusk (end of civil twilight) is arbitrarily defined as when the center of the sun is 6 degrees below the horizon. http://www.timeanddate.com/astronomy/different-types-twilight.html so civil dusk will always occur the same amount of time after sunset. so if it's 10 minutes or whatever then just ask when sunset is and add 10 minutes.

quote:Apple rates both the different 13-inch MacBook Pro models as having the same battery life on their product page, but in our review of the $1,499 model we noted a few factors that suggested otherwise. The $1,499 Pro has a lower-wattage processor and a battery that’s larger by 10 percent or so, for starters. http://arstechnica.com/video/2016/11/the-2016-13-and-15-inch-touch-bar-macbook-pros-reviewed/ ufarn fucked around with this message at 16:24 on Nov 14, 2016 |

Vintersorg posted:never heard of this term civil twilight its one of three "twilights" the others are nautical and astronomical. the original idea is that nautical starts when you can make out brightest stars used for navigation and astronomical twilight ends when there is no more illumination from the sun period

reviews all say surprisingly spotty battery life, touchbar is a work in progress, usb-c still nascent, and it costs too much. guess im sticking with my early 2013 another year and see how their next update shakes out. sounds like the new keyboard design is decent tho

that spot on the left is a really weird design choice. if you're going to have it symmetric with the physical power button on the right, just make it a hardware ESC key like the nerds want and save the touchbar space for the other poo poo. when they showed the first pictures i had assumed that's what it was.
