Oh yeah. Completely agree there… the Mighty Mouse was horrible. After using mine for about a year, the trackball in it got so jammed with dirt that scrolling was a huge pain.

Wow, it looks great! I especially like this section: “ unicode as expected Unicode in midipix is not an afterthought, but rather an essential concept. When your application enters its main() function, for instance, its argv and envp point

How is Cygwin terrible exactly? It’s fast and lightweight (compared to other recommendations like MobaXterm) and has a huge selection of packages¹. Frankly, I don’t get why Cygwin gets so much flack; I’m glad it exists. ―――――― ¹ — http:&#x

Wait, really? So the things mentioned in the comment thread on this¹ post mean less to you than getting a trackpoint? In any case, Lenovo isn’t the only manufacturer that includes a pointing stick in their laptops. HP’s EliteBook series, fo

Whoa, I’m pretty surprised. I thought Omni abandoned OmniWeb quite a long time ago, but it seems to still be getting updates! http://omnistaging.omnigroup.com/omniweb/

That doesn’t happen to me on my iPad Air running iOS 7. A big part of that might be because I have the iPad connect to a proxy server which blocks a huge swath of ad servers though.

Symbola certainly does support most of the characters used in that article (not all though). Specifically, it doesn’t have glyphs for the CJK characters or the regional indicator symbols used on the page, so you’ll need another font for tho

“Also, I strongly recommend you install the Symbola font, which contains basic glyphs for a vast number of characters. They may not be pretty, but they’re better than seeing the infamous Unicode lego.” I disagree with the notion of Symbol

Many Chinese characters are completely unreadable at small sizes if you try to fit them in the width of a halfwidth character. It’s just not practical.

As others have already said, it’s XML. This comment by jonknee back in the other Apple TV thread is a bit more detailed: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10194839

Side Note: Unlike what Graphemica may have you believe, there are actually more fonts than just DejaVu Sans that contain glyphs for the Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols block. Modern versions of OS X come with STIXGeneral¹ (v1.1.0 on OS X

I dunno… on Mavericks at least, I have to say it looks pretty good. The text-only buttons give it a nice minimalistic look. I have no idea how it looks on Yosemite though.

Not the OP, but if he’s still looking, I’d recommend he give MailMate¹ a try. In my opinion, it’s been the best mail client on OS X for a while now. ―――――― ¹ — http://freron.com/

Hmm… comparing that to the amount of tabs and windows I have open in Safari right now (which is actually pretty low for me since I usually have more than 250 tabs open) seems to make Chrome look even worse… Specifically (running Safari v7.1

“You're free to want sites to work without JS, but to be realistic about it, that battle was lost loooong ago.” Sites should at least work without JavaScript. Or are you saying we should just throw accessibility under the bus? “

Agreed. It is useful for monitoring things like system changes, but I wouldn’t depend on just GlassWire alone for a software firewall. In my case, I use a combination of GlassWire and NetLimiter (as mentioned here): https://news.

As others have mentioned, GlassWire is quite simple and lightweight. Unfortunately, while it’s absolutely invaluable for monitoring changes to the system (DNS changes, application changes (becoming unsigned, etc.), webcam and microphone cha
