Quick Takes: Apple Celebrating Women's Week, The Road to Swift 5, and New macOS 11 Concept

Who said there will be a macOS 11, and why, in my opinion there's no need for it, doesn't mean I am not for a dark mode or an overhaul, actually, I think iOS X was better UI wise, liked it much more than this flat macOS UI.

The "macOS 11" name for the fan-made concept art was probably chosen for click bait.
 
Wow... Every time I see someone's concept of how future versions of iOS or MacOS is supposed to look, I can't help but roll my eyes. It's typically pretty ridiculous most of the time, but this... holy crap. I would LOVE for the next update to look and operate even remotely like this. <3

One wearing a Fitbit and the other presumably putting on an Apple Watch from the store display just for the photo... as it's asking for a PIN. Haha.
 
It'll never happen, but I'd love it if Apple made it possible for people to develop skins/themes for macOS's official window manager. Linux window managers have traditionally allowed that.

Why is the woman in the middle pictured wearing a fitbit? LOL gtfo fitbit

And the woman wearing the Apple Watch needs to enter her passcode. This is definitely a candid photo. Or the Art Director needs to find a new career.

I think the main issue is it forces them to make sacrifices both WRT engineering and design to allow for that. Unix and Linux free software world GUI in general is very flexible, but it's not as usable.

Imagine using photoshop with that menubar. Doesn't work. Otherwise, I like the concept of more real estate.

I actually kinda like it, but I agree... there would have to be a toggle switch like the Dock currently has to "automatically minimize" or "keep expanded". That would be ideal.

I've never used Go (the language), but I've heard it's straight up better than Swift. And I've used Swift and don't like it. I think it's good considering all the compatibility they're trying to keep with ObjC stuff, but that's also holding it back severely.

Go is designed for a narrower scope of problems, where Swift is much more versatile. They are not very comparable. This is one of the reasons Google went eight Kotlin for their next Android language rather than Go.

Swift and Kotlin are very similar as they have influenced each other.

He’s obviously not an OS X power user. Hiding the menu bar would be a stupid mistake.

I'm over here making Android apps, programming in assembly , doing some bioinformatics work, doing some bash scripting and server side work, writing reports and hide the menu bar. I guess I'm not power user enough :rolleyes:

I think something like this but without hiding all the options would work. Something that adjusted to how many menues are in the app
 
Apart from the retractable menu bar and the idea that we’d be touching (much less 3D touching) our screens, there’s a lot to like here

Am I the only one who does not care for that "Quick take" format? It makes the stories harder to skim through and the comments become impossible to follow. I could understand combining stories on the same topic, but grouping totally different stories makes no sense.

I agree, it does make it a lot harder to keep track of conversations - since there are like 4 topics to discuss in one thread :(

Concur.

On the other hand, it allows newbies like me to comment on political stuff when it is buried in with the tech stuff.
 
about mac os dark theme, this is nothing new, i used to have flavours 2 but that app it stopped working after yosemite, i don’t know if it was related to SIP or some other system changes but that app was very good unfortunately we can’t use it in HS thanks to apple, tim give us some themes or at least let us use an app that can give us themes, mac os is awesome but having extra themes won’t hurt, anyway i just wanted to share that, sorry for my bad english
 
Hopefully ARkit can be retooled to have Tim think he has a few impaired/gay/black/female/kazakhs/ in the Board and return to core issues.
Hint: Bring out a female MacBook, Tim, with unlimited receptive sideholes in its case
