Don't know how if it was rewritten; but it's no longer fixed- height , which is IMO what matters when dealing with long lists.

Sounds more like they either were hung-up on formal hierarchies ("Steve's not my boss, what's the benefit to getting him involved?"), or just didn't have a good answer for what they were accomplishing, or both.

Yeah, that's what I use. There's just no good reason not to Sherlock it; if not for the fact that every single Mac power user would expect Apple to bundle a crippled, simplified version, to "dumb it down for the masses".

Wouldn't it be awesome if Apple added window-snapping, and i3wm-like keyboard support? They'd leapfrog every other OS in an area where they've been behind for a while, and gain tons of praise from power users. There's so

System Preferences was always fixed-width; it's Windows's Settings app that's not.

It seems the criticism on Safari hasn't evolved alongside WebKit's efforts. It's true that WebKit is no longer lagging behind web standards (with the notable exceptions of PWAs and prefetch). Though I'll note that much o

Seconded. Their excuses for removing support are baffling (guess what? most current Safari adblockers still request access to "data from all websites", which is exactly what "Content Blockers" were supposed to prevent. S

The Ars Technica review is thorough, and acts as a good set of "release notes", but it's published upon release, and obviously doesn't cover the stuff that devs and users discover throughout the following year. I recomme

I see zereo issue with what Facebook is doing. They are indeed "treating users equally." To not have special measures in place protecting accounts that are orders of magnitude more likely to receive false reports would be unequal

Wikipedia is so huge that it's hard for editors to police effectively. All new articles are reviewed by one editor, but they'll likely be low-traffic enough that 90%+ of the page will be written by one person, and pages that are n

Good question; I can't read the author's mind since the quote is made up. But basic logic dictates that the quote (which is apocryphal) means that we cannot deduce that we are healthy simply because we are well-adjusted to society

This quote is comically misused. It refers to people being called "controversial" or misfits, or being disapproved of for questioning the orthodoxies of deeply immoral societies. It does not mean that if you're low-function

Oops, I did miss that word. I agree with you then, we're indeed only in WW3 in a colloquial sense, not in any real sense.
