That’s a good point. I am not aware of a “good” way to make that kind of judgement, especially considering the lack of resources available to those that would be making such a judgement (k-12 educators at public schools)

Sorry, I should have worded that better.

> “…no self-respecting teacher wants to be stuck teaching underperformers.” If you look at people that are not academically inclined and call them under performers then maybe that’s part of the issue. I think everyone has strengths and w

Not sure what I’m missing here. I make Android and iOS apps and so I have access to both operating systems and various devices on a daily basis. What is iOS missing that Android has (when it comes to notification settings)?

Yeah if the sources are in communication with one another :)

> What happens in busy places when tens or hundreds of vehicles or robots illuminate the environment? I think about this one a lot. While I haven’t looked into it I wonder if this will impact insects and birds somehow

You can do all of this on iOS

Not really here to convince you of one os / ecosystem or the other, but wanted to say that you can get an iPhone, try it for two weeks and return it if you don’t like it.

Yeah HN of 2012ish timeframe was very different. Even Reddit didn’t seem nearly as popular. I think this goes for everything (not just forums), but the more popular a forum becomes the worse the content seems to get. I would like to say tha

Your comment feels good to read, to some extent. We are flooded with low quality content (art, music, books, articles), but we also have more high quality content than (probably) ever before. When you say “give everyone with no taste the me

Grain Brain is an interesting read that covers in a pop-sci way some of the various research being done.

n8n.io offers something similar to Zapier, but probably not as well rounded.

Is this similar to .xcproject / .xcworkspace?

You could also install a window manager such as rectangle or magnet if window management is a big deal for you. People switching OSs expect some things to roll over and then forget that they can google for potential solutions when things do

I’ve seen this list shared before, and want to thank you for sharing it again! I had forgotten about this resource and am pretty stoked to be seeing it

You’re right about there being a problem with it. Which library was/is doing this? Would like to avoid it.

They have a complete telemetry section on their website where it also states that no input or output data is collected.

If only it was as simple as that.

It could be argued that the reason governments are “inefficient systems” (particularly in the US) is in large part due to the same people making ridiculous amounts of money. So while you’re being sarcastic, and probably believe that you too

While there are a few things I don’t appreciate about Safari, for the most part I enjoy using it and have set it as my default browser a bit over a year ago. Is it a nightmare to support (as far as web dev is concerned)?

I agree with you, and I think that part of the issue are the animations that run when doing practically anything on a newer OS, like maximizing or minimizing a window. Edit: in some cases animations can be disabled, which does a bit to brin

Well one way that comes to mind for why it could be considered a burden is breaking down internal documentation into public and private, and making sure that the private one is never exposed. As much as we don’t want to imagine business con

This is an interesting point. While this would be nice for some folks that just want drivers to be functional I could also see why a manufacturer might be reluctant to offer such information. One reason they could bring up is that it may pu

Sure one company that makes at max a million a year then it’s minuscule. What about considering that this is not the case and there is more than one such company and many that make well beyond that.
