   I take it you don't use Google Docs. It has improved considerably over the last few years: - better office import - better commenting / colab - several UI refreshs It hasn't changed a lot in the last year or two, but with &qu

   The article says that jaws got smaller due to agriculture making food softer, and this evolutionary change causes both snoring and crooked teeth, which in turn braces are a bandaid for. The point made in the heading isn't really discus

   There have always been heated arguments about which language is better, but not many languages get as many "I don't like it" blog posts as Swift (maybe Go). It's probably just because people are usually free to choose a

   My guess is browsers will just implement WebGL on top of Metal and this will be transparent to web developers.

   It's weird how gcc and msvc end up in the same basket here. Mozilla say they're all about openness. gcc is a free and open source compiler, while msvc is proprietary and closed source. I can see the case for keeping gcc supported,

   Probably because the author of this article studied Chomsky a lot and others less.

   I don't think they'll tell engineers to make the experience bad. I used to work for Google, and it doesn't strike me as the place where that would work. More likely is that there just isn't anyone responsible for this; w

   iPad is the iOS sideshow in sale numbers by far -- no reason to prioritize it. And, more cynical, using the parent comment's reasoning: iPad _is_ a competitor to Google's Chrome OS in education, so maybe they don't want it to

    You just enjoy other things than some other people enjoy. That doesn't make you sick or non-normal.

    This looks really cool. I tried it on my macbook, and for some reason I can't keep 'j' pressed to scroll down - I have to press it once per row. This works fine in MacVim and Terminal.app vim. Does anyone know why this won&#x

    MacVim or gvim is still a regular native app without a js vm and a web enviroment. It's less minimal then terminal vim, but way more minimal than electron. I don't mind electron myself, but that ps sounds fairly disingenuous to me

    "Launching Programs" should use posix_spawn at least on macOS, it's a distinct syscall there and faster than fork + exec.

    Old Media ist publishing negative articles about tech at any chance they have, due to them losing all their advertising dollars to online ads. It's just that this time the message finds some traction.

    More like "this is why we should use LLVM's libFuzzer or similar". Apple is just not doing basic code hygiene stuff here.

    Isn't skia able to call OpenGL too? Do you think your own thing will be lighter weight in the end? Which parts of skia do you think you won't need? (For sRGB, a patch for skia might be less work than a full new 2d library. Also de

    Got a chromecast, and my phone has a lot more trouble connecting to it than it used to have. Sounds like this might be the issue. Hopefully now that it's been identified, it'll be fixed.

    I for one am excited about this. I used to have stuff on sourceforge, and to me it feels like they're on track to become relevant again.
