It's not considered fully RESTful, but it sounds like you are describing IPP, which came out in 1997. Compatibility marks/certifications like AirPrint (2010) define how to advertise your IPP printer and its features, such as wheth

> Is C++ more performant than C? I find this hard to believe. At the compiler level, no. But as you write projects, you will for instance run into things you can do with templates which are infeasible to attempt with macros. One example

IMHO, both are a mode of progressively penalizing developers as a mode of API obsoletion. It doesn't feel like the opportunity to fix a degradation of user experience really motivated app developers in either case. The difference is Ap

Windows and macOS both got ASLR in 2007. For another example: macOS integrated antivirus in 2009, while Windows did so in 2012.

Valve hasn't committed to making a mixed reality computing platform, and Apple hasn't come out with a gaming VR headset. Neither company wants to directly compete.

No , at least not yet. On macOS, it is ultimately the app developer who is responsible for persisting and using state for windows, such as size and position. Think several terminal sessions - the terminal app needs to be the one to determin

I disagree as well, and wonder if the OP meant an emotional or ideological stance instead.

I have never got into macros, so missing a row of function keys didn't impact me. A row of system integration actions (like dynamic volume and brightness controls) was nice. However, a capacitive touch surface should not be so close to

ML-related improvements to accessibility has been the trend for a couple of years now. Changes which might not meet the quality bar to be a default user experience have a different calculus when they can be packaged up to be opt-in, and lif

IMHO - extremely little. It is too inefficient to design a machine which _might_ have two GPU and a flock of additional drives installed into it. It just makes sense to instead design around having independent hardware in its own case, whic

I'm curious why I would want to dual boot Windows when there's a perfectly good hypervisor and paravirtualization built into macOS? Arm-based windows support via Parallels does work, but AFAICT there's no official way to buy

"slop" and "vibe coding" are derogatory terms about the level of effort - e.g. little to no human review of quality or accuracy, or accountability/concern related to the output.

That really depends. A zero knowledge system would show to the verifier that the person is authorized for access _right now_, but thats just the answer to a particular challenge. Outside of the verifier who knows they came up with a random

If the pattern continues, they'll announce deprecation this fall and remove the feature in 2039.

The AFP protocol was deprecated in 2013. The AFP server was removed in Big Sur, so over five years ago. This is removal of AFP client support. Apple's source is not public, but the protocol is still fully documented if someone wanted t

My estimate is that your lower count of people who could still be using Time Capsule is off by a factor of 20, but we'll continue with the idea that Apple could justify hiring a single engineer to be assigned full-time on the TimeCapsu

Apple funds creation of new factories in return for exclusive use of the parts they produce. I believe they also prefer to negotiate pricing down to cost, then pay bonuses for meeting quantity/date goals. Supposedly, the reason there w
