Package managers dont tackle the same issues Apple does. They're not user-friendly & as a result havent been very influential.

Well it's about time someone tried it. Computers have been failing the 99% rest of the market for a long time now. I'm a GPL advocate, but I'd argue the problem Apple is tackling is more important.

Yeah, meditation timers make a huge difference. I'm currently using Zen Timer on iOS.

If you don't modify anything, you can still sell it, right? Take firefox for example - i thought Mozilla was objecting to the additions & changes.

I don't see that disagreeing with what I said. I can't tell if it was meant to, either.

Of course it's trolling, but people respond seriously because (apparently) this style of parenting is common.

I mean it's a good way of representing a set of 4 desktops.

Well, dragging itself is a chore. I get that he hates the desktop metaphor, but it still needs to be improved. Little things like the cube metaphor & wobbly windows go a long way.

Not really a bug, but I mainly found it too slow. In linux you can just scroll over the desktop to switch. And I couldn't see how to drag windows across spaces for easy organization (without going the long way to show all spaces).

You can still add it! For completeness. That's the clearest writing I've seen in a long time.

Happening over spacetime, you mean :) I vaguely remember stories of this in a black hole. The "metric" changes. It involves the space dimension becoming time-like (restricted to movement forward) while the time dimension becomes space-like

I get the impression crypto is very hard to implement right, which would mean it's very hard to evaluate.

Title-bait aside, how much of the article was wrong? I found it (and the rest of the site) fairly interesting.

There are potential terrorism targets literally everywhere . This whole issue is way overblown. Even the 9/11 perpetrators didn't want to "kill teh infidel", more reduce US involvement in the middle east.
