Somehow I feel like the audio quality and build quality is not going to be as good as the companies that actually make headphones for a living Audio quality? Maybe not. Although it probably depends on how you precisely define audio qualit

I have this issue from time to time. But I discovered that changing the volume slightly solves it. It seems the problem is not that one AirPod is not connected, but that for some reason the volume is turned all the way down on.

I love that man pages exist, and I get that they predate hypertext, but to me it’s always seemed like a glaring omission that individual man pages don’t link to each other. So much so that for a long while I assumed that they did and that I

Huh? I think Knockout.js was awesome for its time! To me, Vue.js feels like Knockout’s spiritual successor. What did you find frustrating about Knockout?

Public opinion is what translates into political support (or lack of support) for military action. I don't agree that these things are as independent as you suggest. Sure, but let's not lose sight of the specifics of what we&#x2

When/if China tries to take Taiwan the systemic suppression of Taiwan's existence and independence to the Chinese people may have played a part in what the public is willing to support. These kinds of things add up and have real

In China Apple allows iCloud infrastructure to be managed by Chinese companies (presumably so they can do bulk collection on user data/message backups). I agree. This absolutely fits the bill. For Apple, it’s either accept this arran

I read the article you linked to, and the only thing in it that had a whiff of “willing to give user’s data to governments” is the thing about Apple relying in China on data from a Chinese company for information about malicious sites (inst

In the Hey case it does seem like Apple was simply applying it’s rules, and DHH didn’t quite understand them. I was far from simply applying the rules . The only documented rule they were applying was the one, which states that you must

The win for them is that they get to update their app instead of being booted from the app store.

But what you're describing, is not actually Apple's stance. Apple is fine with apps providing their own payment solutions, as long as what those apps are selling is not digital goods. There are plenty of apps for buying clothes, g

The gospel of separating styling from content comes from an era when most web sites were comprised of collections of hand crafted HTML documents, when it was a pain to make site wide changes to styling because it meant updating each of thes

I suppose it does. In the same way that using your gmail address to sign up for anything cements you to Google. But unless Apple or Google suddenly go out of business, I have a hard time seeing a problem with this.

That being said, there are valid use cases for tracking users across websites. Strong disagree. It works for the most part everywhere except Safari where a few of our integrations just cannot and will not work due to their use of 3rd Par

I don’t understand how that is more private than what Apple offers? To my understanding, “Sign in with Apple” optionally also hides your true identity (ie. email address).

What’s cool about that anonymized email address is that even if it gets leaked, only the registered service can use it to communicate with you.[1] [1] https://support.apple.com/en-au/HT210318

Is “browsing down” even possible under those circumstances? From TFA: There are many ways in which you can build a browse-down approach. You could use a virtual machine on the administrative device to perform any activities on less trust

Yes, I think this is by far the biggest problem here. I’m sure there are some women who would enjoy knowing that only those willing to pay the most, would be able to court them. But I would wager that most women would feel differently.

I don’t think I understand the question. Private entities obviously still get to decide what kind of content they wish to disallow.

by adamlett 7y ago
Who decides, is the crucial question? The fact that we have courts of law where judges routinely make decisions about difficult, gray area questions, tells me that this is a solved problem. I can imagine a special court (or board or what

So, the context would be: an export format for complex, multi-paragraphs textual documents with meta-information. If you add the condition that it be human-readable, I admit I am not able to point to an existing format that is obviously b

I have yet to read anything that convinces me that XML is good for anything . Just because XML in certain cases is less bad than some other cherry-picked technology, doesn't mean that there aren't other better options. See also

I fail to see how this is good way to see all the HN users. Why would I even want that? There must be thousands of HN users.

* So the solution to a unreliable issue tracking solution is dumping that responsibility on your VCS? Why not fix the concerns you have with your issue tracker?* … Or, and hear me out, how about not worrying about that, and just use your VC

Let’s hope the SaaS issue tracker you’re currently using never goes out of business or changes the product in a way that makes it worse for you. Or, if you host your own, that it keeps you satisfied in perpetuity. Referring to the issue ID

I say yes. I like to keep information about the code as close to the code as possible. Issue trackers come and go, and even if you keep the same issue tracker around, how are you going to relate the change in the code to the particular issu
