My computer was built in March 2012, if it was an Apple product I couldn't code on it.

As a side note, I'm quite impressed that my 2012 doesn't feel like it aged at all. I'm still doing Max quality, non vr gaming on it.

Make a web app?

That's what I do to avoid giving Apple money.

Apple deliberately hinders Progressive Web Applications on iOS Safari, effectively stifling innovation. Look at how many requests are there on WebKit to implement many of the features/API's required.

They don't even allow competing browser engines. Chrome, Firefox etc on iOS are just wrappers around Safari.

This is where I think they might be legally vulnerable, if anywhere. Especially since Jobs initially answers the shocked reaction of 30% by "it's no big deal everybody is going to make web apps anyway."

Especially if you actually care about price. Amazon isn't great.

Or quality, or getting what you actually paid for, or not supporting a wanna-be trillionare technocrat that would rather satisfy his fantasy to colonize mars than treat his warehouse workers humanely or help his neighbors here on earth in general.

Does biphasic sleep count as polyphasic? I've been doing it for years following the 6 hr core and 20 minute nap. (Basically this https://efficiencyiseverything.com/sleep/)

It's been extremely doable for over a year. Sure I sleep in when I'm hungover or on a lazy Saturday, but it's closer to a regular 8 hour sleep rather than 10 hours.

I'm not in agreement of this overly simple article.

How do you keep your nap to just 20 minutes though? I literally can’t sleep for that short amount of time. I’ll either stay awake for the full 20 minutes or I’ll fall so dead asleep that I don’t wake up again until morning.

For me, I tense all of my muscles for 5 seconds, then relax, close my eyes and let my mind go blank. I don't "try" to sleep, I just try to enjoy relaxing. 9/10 times, I'm waking up to the 21 minute alarm I set before I even notice I had fallen asleep. Every once in awhile, I don't fall asleep, and then I assume that my body didn't need it. Very rarely, my alarm goes off and I decide that I'm going to nap longer. In those cases, I lose the rest of my day, but it's usually because my body really needed it.

Falling asleep quickly when you're tired I think is something that can be trained; I probably learned it in boot camp, where most days we got only 6 hours of sleep, unless you had watch duty, in which case you got 5 hours; and near the end there was a week where we only got 4 hours. Your body just learns to grab whatever sleep it can.

Re taking short naps: When I was at university, if I needed a power nap, I'd set the timer on my watch for 7 minutes and set it on my forehead; then I'd normally do two of these in a row (so 14 minutes of nap total). Once I got used to it, 1) as soon as I closed my eyes I'd start dreaming 2) I'd frequently have the experience of slowly coming to consciousness seconds before the alarm went off.

But that only works if you're only moderately tired. If you're really sleep deprived, there's nothing you can do but actually take a longer rest.

That’s awesome! I guess I’ve been doing that for a year or two now too, although without naming it. I started getting up early to get stuff done before the rest of the world wakes up, but found myself getting sleepy around lunch time. 25min naps ended up being my sweet spot: 20min feel like they end right when it’s getting good, 30+ make me groggy.

Thanks for the feedback. I can see the argument that polyphasic sleep is anything more than one monophasic block of sleep. In practice though, I'd say most people differentiate between a biphasic schedule and a polyphasic one.

Napping is absolutely sustainable. Trying to reduce total sleep time by sleeping in small bursts throughout the day and night does not appear to be sustainable over long periods.

Stop buying Apple products.

Android can side load + web apps.

This is a non issue as an Android user.

It's not a non-issue! You might not be an Apple user, but the rest of the market has quite a few of them.

You're also never going to teach the majority of Google users how to side-load as Google has done no work to make this a friendly, safe, and simple process. (Their interests are aligned against doing so.)

The services you subscribe to have to charge you as an individual more because their subscriber base is being taxed. That isn't fair as a business or as a consumer.

> Google has done no work to make this a friendly, safe, and simple process

It's very easy, when you try to install from a non-Play Store source you are presented with a security dialog which leads directly to a page where you can toggle installation from that source.

I can't see how it could be much easier.
