Apple having a safe store wouldn't change.

Good for Apple. None of that would change if there was a simple free option for sideloading though.

Interesting. Thanks for elaborating. If investigators don't have any power to do anything that a normal public person can do, like finding public information or digging through someone's trash...then I don't see why anyone sh

Seriously? Explain that to the 500 person company that I'm writing an app for. We have to pay $299/year to Apple just for the privilege of putting software on our own fucking devices. That's some bullshit right there. The fre

What does general purpose mean? It means I get to do what I wan. Anyone who complains that they can't do something that Apple won't let them is a candidate. Anybody who jailbreaks is definitely one. There are plenty.

Especially when the free competitor works cross platform and doesn't lock you into Apple's craptastic desktop OS.

I don't see what's so wrong about using an investigator to find out more about the guy who is suing you. Can someone explain that to me? Is it against the law to find all publicly available information about someone or to follow t

I don't run Linux as my main desktop OS for the same reason - drivers. It seems like you lose either way. I don't feel locked in at all with Windows though. Never have. With Apple, I feel locked into their hardware. With Microsoft

It sounded a bit condescending to me. Besides that it was an empty comment; a claim with zero citations - not very useful at all. Anyway, I'm sure that I don't care if an unknown language pioneered something. The language that mak

Yeah, but in languages that anybody uses? That people are actually using TypeScript could be the difference here.

You mean like the sickening lock-in that we get with Apple?

I've been using Windows tablets for 3 years and they've been extremely nice the entire time. Among my collection, I have the original Surface Pro and a Dell Venue 8 Pro which are pretty old. They're both easily more useful to

I think we need to point out that you personally have a strong pro-Apple bias that can be clearly seen in your comment history. Also that the whole "Apple is the only one who innovates" sentiment is a really old piece of fanboy pa

We're talking about the Jony Ive who designs rectangles? Meh. Him and Apple have stolen plenty! Isn't Steve Jobs famously quoted as saying "great artists steal"? Anyway, what's the fucking difference if you steal a

Every single package that you listed has a vastly superior option available on Windows or it's not even necessary. There are very few genres of software where the Mac options actually exceed what is available on Windows. Utilities is n

Of course. Why wouldn't I?

What kind of software do you need specifically? I'll bet you have more and better options om Windows.

by WayneBro 10y ago
Windows is awesome. I can and have written volumes on how much better it is than OS X and Linux. Is that telling you anything? You didn't say much about anything either. Hmmm. Anyway, I've developed software for twenty years on Wi

People who really like Windows (including me) generally seem to dislike the full-screen button in OS X though, so how is that placating anyone? Everywhere I look I find people saying that window management in Windows is miles ahead of OS X.

Here's a much better article on why OS X is an exercise in bad UI design - http://aaronhildebrandt.com/archive/osx-an-exercise-in-bad-u...

I don't know about that. Searching around for conversations surrounding `gulp vs webpack`, people seem generally unconvinced that they can replace gulp with just webpack.

Pfffft. That's the big mock that made you type out three posts on HN? LOL. Wow. > the author certainly isn't wondering what to do. You don't know that. If people don't like the telemetry but it's really useful, I

I've experienced more loss of data and programs when upgrading minor versions of Android, iOS and OS X than I ever have upgrading to Windows 10, which is running on no less than seven computers in my house. My wife upgraded her laptop

They're hardly forced. I disabled automatic updates via a Group Policy setting. Here are the instructions for the Pro version of Windows: 1. Run `gpedit.msc`. 2. Navigate to Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Compo

Disagree, fine...but where's the alleged mocking? It is a fact that that a loud contingent of people hate the Windows 10 telemetry. How is it mocking someone to say so? If someone said "Those dentist visits you hate actually help

You didn't. Those are the choices though. Anyway, his comments were hardly condescending. Not at all actually.

I'd run my entire development stack on Bash on Windows though. That's what it's there for. It's glorious! Similarly, my laptop probably wouldn't be able to handle a production workload for any length of time...but i

Hardly. Apple clearly has the most condescending attitude towards users. It's built into their brand. And of course there is no owner for Linux, but have you ever dealt with any of the popular open source project developers that make L

by WayneBro 10y ago
Well it sucks way, way less than Linux and macOS for me. I'd rather have an OS that gives me what I actually want along with whatever problems it presents instead of just leaving out features like Apple does or breaking all the time li
