A lot of changes to macOS over the years have mostly been just additions, and to be honest I haven't really taken advantage of any of those. But at it's core, macOS is still an OS for power-users with awesome shortcuts and my bel

I think this goes beyond one project. In your lifetime you just have to write certain things again and again and then you have to write the abstractions again and again. Maybe that warrants a library, but then you also have to hook that up

I think it's hard to argue that these frameworks are out-of-the box faster than using the DOM APIs directly. What they do is provide abstractions that lets you scale HTML-interactivity up much faster. Plain-JS DOM manipulation code can

As users of these web-frameworks it's not really noticeable if there is a V-DOM or not I think. The only thing that's really noticeable is the smaller bundle size (and maybe performance). But what I really, really like about Svelt

The Telegram Apps are all great and have so many awesome features that are crucially also extremely well implemented. Everything seems so well thought through! It's just incredibly scary not to know anything about who these developers

It's not easy to understand, especially from the blog post alone, but as far as I understand it, the proposition is the following: Big companies have the ability to do research on users all the time, either by doing anonymous studies o

I still use my OnePlus 3 and its great! The battery capacity has degraded significantly (which isn't such a big deal during lockdown) but because most Apps stay in memory with its 6GB of RAM I hardly have issues with performance (to be

What I like about C is that it can teach people the fundamentals of programming without imposing a lot of implicit structure on learners. A lot of courses start with Java and I think that makes it really hard for students later to untangle

I largely don't really agree with the article, other than that it feels like too often the first language students learn is not chosen very carefully. I'm personally leaning towards C or Javascript — which are in a sense total opp

I think you can totally print the current QR code on a piece of paper and show that to someone. It's not more or less safe than having it in an App. The QR code is essentially like a Covid-only digital vaccination pass; it doesn't

That's so strange, and almost suggests that the people implementing these apps don't understand the security model behind these codes. Any information on the users phone can 100% not be trusted. It should just show the QR code. On

I can't find any articles that either talk about "danish teens" or "sold screenshots on facebook". Do you have any sources you can link? The QR codes design is pretty sound, so as long as they are validated correctl

Firefox is still largely C++ and Javascript and that's not going to change anytime soon. But it makes sense, because mostly you're adding or changing stuff that's already deeply connected with all the existing code. I think y

When Discord was relatively new they had a comparison table with Skype, TeamSpeak and other platforms. As a long-time TeamSpeak user, I found that very helpful at the time, because it helped me understand what Discord wants to be. With Stri

I'm a big fan of Short comments that describe a chunk of code – maybe 3-10 lines. Because a lot of times I don't really want to read all the code, I just want to get a more detailed sense of what the code is doing. I worked in the

I didn't really notice this resurgence of newsletters to be honest. But because mail is one of the few federalized systems it's pretty cool to see (maybe RSS will come back too? :o ) I also understand that you want to collect some

There is a lot of precedence that Apple is very reluctant to implement web-app standards, that could compete with the app store. For some opinion pieces you can search for "Safari is the new Internet Explore"

You can't subscribe to Netflix and Spotify on the App Store anymore. It was possible for a while, where both just handed the costs down to customers. E.g. when Spotify costs 10$ on their site, it used to cost 13$ when purchased through

People in the comments are right so far that this could be just a website, but I think we can turn that around and say that Apple is not providing any services that the developers of Fanhouse really need or want. They just want to be on the

The ways Microsoft wants to trick users into using edge, using all sorts of dark-patterns, has rapidly increased with the launch of chromium edge. Opening Edge on startup, asking in Windows update-screens, putting Edge on the desktop and ta

I love Twitter and use it every day. Unlike many other sites, owned by tech-giants, I have a lot of goodwill for them and think if anyone can prove that social-media users can be paying customers, it's them. It's just a bummer tha

Maintaining a browser requires an enormous amount of people. Building a new one or even forking existing ones is essentially impossible if you don't have huge financial means. The only other companies doing it are among the richest c

There are a bunch of considerations for the native look-and-feel that go beyond the primary visual aesthetic. Using the OS-specific terms, shortcuts, font-sizes, button order, APIs. This maintenance effort is not trivial. This is all stuff

You could file a bug for that! The macOS team at Mozilla is trying to make changes to be a better mac citizen (see native-context menus) :)

What I think is infuriating that companies and countries can just put up as many satellites up there as they want. If you put dangerous[1][2] garbage in the sky you should have some responsibility to keep it safe and clean up. IMHO the risk

Yeah, a lot of comments I see here essentially make 2021-comparisons to other operating systems. Being used to things on other systems get conflated with how intuitive it is.

So, I won't claim that installing software that is not in the Mac App Store is a totally intuitive process. Still...I kinda think it's neat. On Windows you download an installer, it does some magic (usually asking for administrato

I largely nodded along with the post, I think it raised a lot of valid issues about the state of non-profit software Yet, I think one big reason why non-profit solutions are so unpopular is not primarily about marking, but about the terribl
