General animation things because of Metal 2. APFS is awesome when copy pasting (instant), Safari's faster, and general performance increase (subjective of course). There are tons of small changes here and there!

You have problems with iOS 11? Anyways, it's definitely stable, honestly I feel like it's the most stable .0 release I've been on (have been going beta -> GM on almost all releases).

Have been on it since beta 3 or something. This has been one of the more smooth transitions, no dev tools broken, and only few apps had some quirks that I filed bug reports for, which are now fixed. The APFS change really isn't somethi

Before the iPhone, how prevalent were software updates to phones? I know of no one who ever got had an update. There is absolutely no reason for carriers to need to do anything at all, else it would not make sense that I can change the SIM

First off, sorry if it seems a bit incoherent, on a mobile so hard to keep an overview. While it has (at least vocally) gotten a lot of backlash, the memo did give me an opportunity to have a deep conversation about both it, and sexism in g

I guess immutability is the actual thing that makes it easy, and arguably Lisp is also an FP lang. m Main point though was the ease of doing it in a pure language, almost trivial.

My arguments was actually just that it had nothing to do with OO at all :) Caching becomes a lot easier though in a pure functional programming lang though, and in a lazy one happens automatically for a lot of things.

Heh, check out time-travel debugging and be amazed at how simple a much more powerful “undo” can be made when purity is involved (in FP langs, e.g. Elm or Haskell). Seriously though, design wise there was not much you said that was specif

No, but languages like Haskell, Ocaml, F#, Idris, Purescript, Elm etc are definitely, when talking about correctness.

If you have showdead on, lately has been awful with comments about “I make $$$ from home” or some shit. I regularly read dead comments, because HN has a tendency to downvote even valid comments from time to time, but lately has been rough -

While I certainly get why you’d get off Facebook for privacy reasons, I feel like a lot of the “addiction” comments here and in similar posts as OP’s are a bit of a weird thing to me. Are people nowadays not capable of moderation? Purely an

15k for 110m2 is not unreasonable if you are 20 min bike from city center. I feel ya though with regards to accommodation, but that is honestly mostly a problem in Copenhagen/Aarhus, and not so much in smaller cities, like say Vejle. F

I definitely agree with this view, and it's perhaps also why I really can't understand choices like these, to cancel an event, because of the genders of the people speaking? Why does that even matter? If what another commenter men

Earplugs take away a lot of the noise, the only thing might be that if they don't fit, i.e. are a bit too big, then they can be somewhat uncomfortable after half the night. I would definitely try that if I was you :) For reference, I&#

I'm curios to hear if you have any specific critics. I actually quite liked the movie, once you get over the fact that you are comparing it to the original anime, and the new elements it brought in, despite it being a bit too much dumb

You might want to go to the doctor with your acid reflux. I personally have to take an anti-acid everyday else it comes crawling back at me. Things like often clearing your throat can be a sign of it.

Very much so! Not talking shit-faced, but just normal drinking. It's one of the fastest ways to get to know a person, a lot of people naturally let their guard down, and it provides a casual atmosphere to get to know each other. It als
