Which are these "world-class delivery organizations" and are they the exception or the rule? We can acknowledge that political volatility is a main cause but it's not some exogenous factor. It's inherent to the federal

Wezterm is an excellent project but it doesn't have native UI chrome like Ghostty does.

Last weekend I was writing some quick notes in the Notes app, and I could not get it to stop performing nonsensical completions in blinking yellow text. Apple Intelligence disabled, predictive text disabled, various combinations of backspa

I really wish homebrew supported this feature. There are a bunch of terminal tools I have installed through it (and wouldn't make sense to sandbox) that are basically one-person projects, and I imagine subject to supply chain compromi

I do kind of think the solution to this issue lies at the OS level. It should provide a high degree of UI and workflow standardization (via first party apps, libraries and guidelines). Obviously it's an incredibly high bar to meet fo

Agree, the feature of commutative patches just seems obviously superior? Not sure why there's a critical mass to adopt jj over Pijul apart from jj's git backend.

I can easily imagine a world where you could install an open source PWA from an archive file into its own security sandbox without any further hoops to jump through, and it continues to just work indefinitely because the web has very good b

I think this is amazing work and I'm looking forward to trying it out and maybe adopting long term, but I can't help but think they're selling themselves short with the default theme. Personally find the electric blue pretty

If you're an amateur and really want to spend this much money, get a good enough knife (e.g. the classic victorinox) and a chef's choice electric sharpener, and you won't have any more issues.

From the announcement > our recent analysis found over 50 times more malware from internet-sideloaded sources than on apps available through Google Play. I will believe this when we stop seeing brazen malware in marquee app store apps, e

We shouldn't accept "sideloading" as a term. It's meant to make "installing an app without monopolist approval" seem like a dirty/weird/niche trick.

Amen. I am praying for the day when cars honking on lock is banned.

I think people are dismissing the possibility of universally accessible self-hosting too quickly. We really need to be ambitious as engineers and imagine a future where people have sovereignty over their own computing. In 1990, we wouldn&

The better comparison are those operating systems which tried for mobile-desktop convergence without adequate consideration of the differences between those platforms, thereby making the desktop experience worse and alienating users. In fa

The comparison to the evolution of iOS is misleading. With iOS, they introduced users to a new platform by using familiar and appropriate design language on that platform. With the current redesign, they're using design language that

This is an existing and somewhat nitpicky issue, but it's also annoying how they specifically insist on rounded corners "because that matches all modern devices" in the announcement. Pretty much all third party external monit

I agree, I think it extends to anybody who wants a calmer experience or has vision trouble or strain. I guess you can turn those options off but if the aesthetic appeal of the design is based on them then I assume we'll be getting a s

I think the original Material 3 was more sensible. Coming from ios-land, its color palette formula was a nice break from the glassy apple standard. It looks like this new version goes overboard on the boldness and especially on the typogr

Just the advantage of being available at convenient times, rather than in the middle of the day sandwiched between or immediately after work/school is huge.

Is the interface in the screenshot how it actually looks? IMHO, really needs some more visual structure to the messages table.

That's funny cause in my experience, Elixir docs are some of the best I've used, and a major strength of the ecosystem which I miss when I'm not writing Elixir. HexDocs has been integrated and standardized from the start, le

This is a great site, and thank you for the effort. One suggestion for an addition to the section on FOSS: Related to the issue of not being able to modify the source of apps we use, we also can't verify that an "open source&quot
