And MacOS does? Is this some Apple Silicon humble brag? Cuz that's "Apple doesn't allow developers and enthusiasts to do their thing on their own computer that they purchased" not "Linux doesn't run on my mac

Console and phone take were probably very separated on the org chart. That matters a lot in huge companies although it looks mental from the outside.

I haven't disabled SIP yet. As a Mac novice, I'm wary of breaking something required for work (and in a pandemic WFH to boot) that I can't fix. But it looks like it's optional. I'll give it a shot! Thanks for the

Amethyst is nice but has odd and unfortunate edge cases. The use of the Accessibility APIs limits what it can do. For example, keybinds stop working if the focus is on an empty screen with no windows. Occassionaly it "loses" a

I'm jealous of you and others in this thread that shared this path. I've unfortunately been dragged in the other direction: I was a happy i3/Linux user and now I'm coping with a multi-monitor Mac setup which stubbornly

As a theory, Y Combinator, thus HN, is strongly aligned with startups which, in less hip circles, are "small businesses". Small business tends conservative because regulation disproportionately impacts them (eg. regulatory captur

> Mac a little better in window management I need to echo the sibling comment. I was overwhelmed with how bad Mac window management is in a multi-monitor setup. This is compounded by Apple's apparent hatred of keyboard shortcuts a

I wouldn't mind that, actually. I could create my own dashboard/background.

I don't think it's a partisan thing? The 70's is way past the political event horizon for most people. I think it's simply keeping HN free of memes but I couldn't stop giggling the connection. For the broader poin

I frequently reply to my kids with "Ok, go $do_a_thing" and I almost always trigger my phone, even if it's in my pocket. The kicker is that I use "Hey Google" when I want the assistant so the "Ok Google"

I try hard not to make Reddit-esque jokes here but I can't help it: username checks out. Edit: Yes, I'll take my very deserved downvotes and go. But come on, Henry Kissinger talking about covering up Presidential crimes :-P We j

YTM is completely worthless if you have/had a family plan with GPM. My kids basically lost all of their access to music as Youtube itself is not available to kids, no matter how hard you try or how often a parent enters their password

The Signal Path is no joke. EE's will say "RF is voodoo" and looking at HF to Wifi, you think it's a little bit hyperbolic. Then TSP goes and dissects some 80GHz monster and you realize that you know absolutely nothing

There was misunderstanding of the technical details early on. I think poor communication and empathy exacerbated those early difficulties (= the kernel cmdline debug fiasco). Now that it's a little more stable, I'm pretty happy w

That doesn't make any sense. OTH radars work by skipping off the atmosphere back to Earth (shortwave style). If the signals escaped to the Moon and back, it wouldn't work OTH.

Thank you for all of your work! I started down the smart home path this year and Home Assistant's philosophy really resonates with me. HA with zigbee and zwave enhance and add to our house in a cloud-free way that works for me and my

It's missing KingOfCoders point of these comparisons being all within the Apple ecosystem. MacBooks infamously have cooling problems and macOS is precisely balanced for battery life on Apple hardware, not AMD Hackintoshes with no spee

Cost of living is getting there though :(. Our Maine neighbors of lobstermen and other solidly middle class vacationers are being displaced by doctors and lawyers. Complete with stupid pissing contests between old vs new residents. This y

One could argue that the electoral college (and in the past, Senators elected by state legislatures) was intended to be a circuit breaker or hurdle to prevent grossly unqualified candidates from reaching office. I challenge you to find a c

It's hard for Senators to break ranks if bills are never brought to a vote.

Err, you meant Republicans were unwilling to compromise, right? Because the Democrats bent over backwards to introduce 160 Republican amendments to the ACA and even delayed votes to have more Republican voices heard during debate.

This argument would have more weight if "the worst" was rightfully repudiated by Republicans instead of reelection, pardons, denialism, or blistering conspiracy theories. There are outrageous acts on both sides but only the Left

We could only be so lucky if they looked at facts instead of dismissing them as some new elaborate hoax, concocted just in time on Facebook.

Sure but this is about relationships and how our government should be run. I'm not required to be friendly to racists, even if they're family. I am not required to be meek and silent in order to preserve family unity. I can'

You forgot "Little children were not mass murdered at school and the grieving parents are all faking it". The beliefs espoused by certain people are abhorrent to the point that you wonder if they're still human beings.

Modified from a bomber's tail gun?! What was the point of expending fuel to launch such a heavy thing into orbit? The Soviet space program lost its mind after the US beat them to the Moon.
