Unlike Gruber, I do think iOS needs a menu bar, or something similar. Maybe on iPad only due to size constraints. Something optional for apps (not every app needs one), hidden by default (something you can invoke with some gesture), that in

What is embarrassing is believing there's now a conspiracy against Apple because Bloomberg got a scoop and decided to follow through. Don't worry, Apple can survive some criticism.

I'm not talking about the study itself, but about the CNN article.

People that are fit tend to take care of themselves in more ways, like for example, eating healthier food consistently. So I doubt it can all be simplified to exercise like the article claims.

Tell that to my iPad 3, which got unusable just after one major iOS upgrade. So I'm a bit skeptical.

Seems like I'm going to use my SE for a long time. I would have considered upgrading to a SE 2 though.

The .NET ecosystem is minuscule compared to Java, especially when it comes to alternative languages running on the virtual machine. So no, for a lot of people it's not a real alternative.

What difference does it makes that these are links? Is okay to publish anything if it’s a link? The guy lost his mind. Shame because I actually respected him before this.

Too many tweets to listen, but some of the most egregious claims he made: - Spain were going to physically invade Catalonia and cause a Tiananmen Square-like situation - The president of Spain wanted a "1000 year Reich" (ironic si

Good. His lies about the Catalonia situation were Russia Today-tier of disinformation and fake news. It’s completely normal that an ally of Spain doesn’t want to cooperate with that.

Riiiight. For example, USA could abandon nuclear weapons, while letting others continue to develop them. That would work fine, both for them and their allies. If Hitler had them and the allies didn’t, that would have worked fine.

Meanwhile, regimes like China, North Korea or even Russia won’t have this kind of issues.

So will BSD sockets follow OpenGL's path to deprecation?

A friendly reminder: there's no reason the iPad couldn't have things like a local shell, emacs or whatever local program you like, only the artificial barriers Apple imposes to limit what you can do with your own device. Until the

>Advertising is primarily about making you buy a product from a particular company, whether it's a good product or not, whether it's right for you or not. That a pretty simplistic view. I never said ads are 100% true and want t

This is a good thing. Advertising is one of the most effective ways companies have to let people know about their products - I'd say they're essential in free market economies. But having ads is one thing and completely disrupting

Why Apple doesn't release comprehensive release notes about this kind of system-level changes? (Or maybe I've just missed them?) Why surprise the users after they've upgraded?

The PlayStation Network had an outage too, just two days ago.

I'm an user too and I'd like to be treated like an adult by my operating system.

Me too. On macOS I like to be one version behind. I still get security updates and I get a "frozen" OS that has been tested by the entire Mac userbase for a year. New features can wait, I choose stability.

"Community-driven" doesn't mean mindlessly accepting every patch that is submitted. Respecting the well-known structure of man pages is a good thing.
86.
by carlosrg 9y ago
I don't get the point of this. Man pages already have a "description" section where they give a simplified explanation of the tool, an "examples" section where they give typical usage, etc.

This article should be named "Learn just enough Unix to get things done". Almost everything explained can be done on any Unix-like system like macOS and it's not exclusive to Linux.

I don't think .NET Core is targeted for desktop applications, at least not at this moment.
