I just tried to find references to it, but couldn’t. I’m wondering if my memory is broken. Slashdot is old though, we used to get worked up about bugs in X11 screensavers, and GNAA trollers.

And slashdot before that.

Wow, that's extremely useful! There is an alternative, in the Finder view menu -> Show Path Bar. It's displayed at the bottom. This will display the path of the current selection, or -- if nothing is selected -- the currently o

Six years ago, I would have taken that as gospel. I wonder if that is still the case, however.

What's funny is that Apple themselves are not helping. If I use the following SwiftUI code, I get a button that's 24.5 x 22.5. Button(action: {}, label: { Image(systemName: "magnifyingglass") .i

You say "even Google Maps", and something surprised me when I explored their SDK. So I don't know about Android, but the Google Maps SDK on iOS does not use the iOS widgets. They draw everything themselves. Integrating Google

By the same developer: the No Thanks extension. Blocks most newsletter offers, subscription begging views, etc. It costs a bit of money, but when asked, an invoice is provided so you can deduct it as a business, or ask your boss to pay. ht

Whenever Swift adds a new keyword, they just add it and break everyone’s code. They do provide migration tools in Xcode though.

Or maybe it included a textfile with the .nfo extension, which contained an ASCII-art skull.

You say they aren't even available yet. That may have been acceptable, but they have quite a history of not delivering. Production should have started in 2019, and they have accepted money in 2018. It's now 2021 and we're loo

Of course it needs maintenance. Architectures change, packaging methods change, software is started differently or earlier in the boot process, etc.

You’re missing that email can actually be quite slow for reasons. I’ve had a problem where I hadn’t logged into Twitch for a long time, and it wanted me to enter a one time code, which they mailed me. The email took so long that the login c

Rcently, The Verge published an article on a HomeKit enabled doorbell from Logitech. https://www.theverge.com/22318478/logitech-circle-view-doorb...

Fun article. I love the NUC size, I use one for a media PC running Windows. Works fantastic.

What is this useful for? Genuine question.

Yeah, the writer of the article first states "The focus that’s required at first will probably force you to cut back on almost everything in your life". Then it's almost like she describes how you can also cut back on fertili

The M1 MBP can't drive more than external screen, that's something to think about.

They talk about how "current mainstream ads technology has become a pseudo-surveillance system", but I feel the same mistrust for crash reporter SDKs on iOS and Android. Unless it's an open source library, I'm very caref

The Linux community is hugely varied. What part of the community do you mean? If you feel that particular part of the community isn't serving you, then there must be a distro that caters to you.

Actually losing DNS is very easy to diagnose, for me at least. Is example.com working? No? Can I ping any DNS server like 1.1.1.1, 4.4.4.4 or 8.8.8.8 or whatever the well-known DNS servers are? Yes? Then my network is fine, it's just D

Don't you just use localization features of your API for this? I'm an iOS developer, and whenever I print dates, I just ask the system to print it, according to the system its locale.

Yup, I'm waiting for that one as well. Open/save/print dialogs seem to be using native components, but I'm guessing they link to old versions of AppKit because they don't respect the system setting for dark mode eit
