   Preview does OCR now too, I think. I can select text in JPEGs, I presume it works on PDFs too.

   I think the improvements to accessibility are generally accepted to be true in the industry to a degree that metrics aren't needed to back up the claim every time it's discussed. Can you get the same degree of accessibility with j

   Can you explain why free and/or open source is important to you? What sacrifices are you willing to make to maintain free and open source?

   Docker is an electron app which might explain some of the performance and battery differences. The containers don't run in electron but that extra copy of chrome is always running in the background.

   Though I'm totally with you on that approach, I'm unaware of native/vanilla tools that offer hot reloading, which is pretty awesome.

   Fireworks nailed it. I was astonished how many professional designers said "what's that" when I asked if they ever used fireworks. Fireworks was extensible with Javascript. Extensibility is something lacking from all the newe

   All the 'do this' versions suffer from the same problems as the 'don't do this' versions. Aside from fixing the tone, they are still generic, still inactionable, and still verbose.

    A while back, CVS stopped selling tabaco products because of the health concerns, even though it was very profitable for them. I wonder why they haven't made the same decision for the candy and snacks yet.

    The sales pitch should be that it's faster (if indeed it's faster), or easier to configure, or smaller to deploy... not that it's written in go.

    Some things I associate with the word modern: * New, fallible, and untested * Trendy and fleeting * Undocumented * Incompatible and unsupported * Needy * Pet project, single author, no community I haven't used DFlex or what it intends

    I works suggest a more descriptive word than "modern".

    I suspect if they are adding it that they have some reason to believe people, at least their customers, prefer it that way

    Java docs are great because they document: * technical details and algorithms used * side effects * runtime and memory usage * inputs that result in undefined behavior * causes of exceptions * behavior when accessed concurrently * thoroughl

    It wouldn't be exactly the same. The difference is lazy AND ignorant instead of just lazy.

    What if they were using astrology? Would that be better than nothing? I think it would be worse than nothing because it demonstrates the aren't competent enough to know when they fell for a scam.

    This list is filled with duplicate reasons (1 & 8, 5 & 6) and includes nonsense reasons like Safari working on old version (but only if you allow insecure old versions of the browser, which is Chrome would also 'allow')

    I guess I'm curious how all the theoretical benefits pan out in the end and if the benefit is worth the separate project.

    The results depend greatly on the type of syntax highlighting. Based on the snippets of the article I have access to, it seems they used very simple keyword highlighting and not any sort of data type or scope highlighting. It also doesn&#x2

    I'd love to see some user testing data on the subject. I feel like investing in tooling around the tutorials would be predicated on evidence that more than 50% of users benefit from them.

    Documentation locked up in walkthroughs is very frustrating to access. You can't search for it or reference it easily. Mini-tutorials upon open are so annoying that my brain immediately enters "get out of the tutorial at any cost&

    Over the years the minimum size of VCL apps increased. Last I checked (10 years ago maybe) it was like 1MB or more compared to 200KB or so in Delphi 3.

    I remember one of the great things about delphi was that it statically linked everything into the single .exe making it totally self contained. A Windows GUI program could be a couple hundred KB, no other DLLs required. C/C++ could do
