Rotate 1.1 Available

-
Rotate 1.1 is a minor update, but it addresses the number one request: allow the T3's voice recorder button to rotate the screen. You can download it here:

Hi Michael, Rotate is a useful programme. Would you be able to add the ability to show/hide the Grafitti input the same way as rotating the screen? Thanks

I think it can be done, at least for applications that are aware of the virtual graffiti area. I'll add to my todo list. This, of course, would take over another button.

I just had a thought. Would it work for you if I would (try to) collapse the grafitti area each time you rotate?

Integer Overflow And Underflow

Q: When is optimization sub-optimal?  A: When it creates an Android bug that crashes your phone during a call to 911. Details of the bug can be found in Ars Technica , but I want to focus on the integer overflow/underflow that caused the crash: return account1.hashCode() - account2.hashCode(); Nevermind the variable names and the invocation of hashCode() . The problem is subtracting without looking, and returning a number that might be too large or too negative for the program to handle. Google corrected the code by using the Java compare() method: return Integer.compare(account1.hashCode(), account2.hashCode()); which limits the return values to -1, 0, or 1, indicating account1 is less than, equal to, or greater than account2, respectively. This raises two questions: "Why did the original code use subtraction?" and "Wasn't this tested?" Addressing the first question, I've seen overflows and underflows before, and even wrote about them in Space, Time, and I

Thinking About The Apple Studio Display

Steve Wozniak continues to support Apple in unexpected ways. His book, iWoz , raises my iMac 27" 5K Retina Display computer to a comfortable eye level.  Long time users of the iMac will recognize this setup, as the stand is not height adjustable. I confess I have not read Wozniak's book, and no, I did not buy the book simply to adjust the height of my display. Rather, I purchased this book for my son in 2006, who needed a subject for a grade school book report.  Wozniak's goal was to share the thrill of engineering with young minds, and he succeeded. His hardcover book serving as a monitor accessory was a bonus. When Apple recently announced the Apple Studio Display with a height adjustable stand, my Apple Watch betrayed my heart rate. It was everything I wanted for my next computer:  display separate from the CPU 27" 5K Retina Display with native 2x resolution beautiful construction a height adjustable stand At $1600 I wouldn't hesitate.  But add $400 for the he

Sometimes The Math Doesn’t Add Up. And Sometimes, It Does

It just don't add up! Cartoon math isn't meant to add up. Here we see a dog number crunching, trying to determine why a cat is running away from two mice, and running towards him, a dog, to be "massacred."  Furthermore, the mice are disgusted by cheese, and run toward the cat to be eaten by him. The dog, reading the results on his Acme adding machine, exclaims "It just don't add up!" and then runs toward a dog catcher, hoping to be caught.  In contrast, real world math is meant to add up, but doesn't always, and when it does, it's kinda', sorta', maybe. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said as much  (see time index 46:45) while at the Cato Institute to discuss inflation and monetary policy:  " Economics is not physics. There isn’t any specific temperature in which the economy boils over... and when that happens it takes many years of analysis, discussion, and debate to reach general agreement on why that's happened. " B
