What do y'all think about the new Twitter design?
It's obviously unfamiliar, but I have to say that I don't think it's that much worse than the one we had before. It does obviously follow the trend of making everything look so much more mobile-y,...
It's obviously unfamiliar, but I have to say that I don't think it's that much worse than the one we had before. It does obviously follow the trend of making everything look so much more mobile-y, but unlike Reddit they haven't really messed with the core display of content - in fact, I'd say the tweets themselves have gotten a bit larger. I've heard that the timeline gets reset to algorithmic sorting every 24h, which is an absolute no-go for me, but I haven't experienced that aspect myself.
Related: I've recently started using Tweetdeck and honestly have no idea why I should ever switch back to the main Twitter feed, redesign or not. Columns, lists, the customisation - it's pretty much everything I've ever wanted. Any tips or opinions on that?

iOS 13 redraws your eyes using ARKit so that you're looking at the camera instead of the screen
@schukin: How iOS 13 FaceTime Attention Correction works: it simply uses ARKit to grab a depth map/position of your face, and adjusts the eyes accordingly. Notice the warping of the line across both the eyes and nose. https://t.co/U7PMa4oNGN

Texas bill aims to restrict ability to assist voters in reaching the polls
@maxkennerly: Here's the relevant text. SB 9, as amended, passed the Texas Senate on a party-line vote, all 19 Republicans for, all 12 Democrats against. It was referred to the Texas House Elections Committee. I guess we'll see if Committee Chair @StephanieKlick also hates Texans voting.

Boeing 737MAX, a software engineers perspective
@trevorsumner: Some people are calling the 737MAX tragedies a #software failure. Here's my response: It's not a software problem. It was an * Economic problem that the 737 engines used too much fuel, so they decided to install more efficient engines with bigger fans and make the 737MAX.
