Eevee wrote about the industry mimicking Apple, and the downsides of that. It’s a great read if you haven’t seen it. https://eev.ee/blog/2016/04/12/apple-did-not-invent-emoji/

Yeah, I remember thinking how awesome it was to open up a bash shell and ssh into a server while using a Macintosh.

I have a Dell monitor (U3419W) that switches USB output based on video input. So all the peripherals (mouse, keyboard, webcam) go to my desktop when the monitor gets an HDMI signal, and to my (work) laptop when it gets a DP signal. Works pr

Haven’t we had water resistant watches for quite a long time already?

I like the idea of TypeScript, and am learning it, but am disappointed that we're still using build systems for JavaScript. I thought modules, HTTP2, and evergreen browsers would allow us to write just plain JS (like the olden times!),

I just requested access earlier this week; for work, I have to use a browser that uses the host's certificate store, and am not enthused to use Chrome or Edge. Safari is OK (not a fan of the UI), but no ad blocking is the worst.

Yeah, I mean it _is_ absurd… but also feels like Pandora’s Box. We can’t go back to pre-nuclear armaments.

I'm working my way through `Endurance: Shackleton's incredible voyage` by Alfred Lansing after it was recommended in another recent HN comment thread. I really like it so far.

I know their phone project fizzled, but I wonder if there's a market for a Chromebook competitor. Position it as a privacy-respecting product for schools. Introduce kids to the idea that Chrome != The Internet.

Don’t all major browsers have this feature? My Firefox account syncs bookmarks/history, and I can share tabs between devices.

Yeah, any feelings of loyalty to a company are absolutely one-sided. They do not care about you at all; don’t think that “going above and beyond” will be rewarded.

Same here, I helped do recruiting for a previous employer, a healthcare tech company in Columbus, OH. AFAIK the other local tech companies are fairly egalitarian regarding higher education.

The car is supposed to yield to pedestrian traffic. Which usually means slowly inching towards the walkers in an intimidating manner if they don’t hurry it up.

Haven’t we known about these side effects for a while? I don’t think it’s been a secret.

Genuinely asking (haven’t really been keeping up with Apple): is it possible to write software on the iPad for the iPad? If not, I’m not sure how you could consider it a “full computer”.

I never used Lockwise because of this existing functionality in the main app.

Yeah, the M1 hardware sounds great -- Apple continuing Jobs' vision of locking down the platform is not so great. n+1 here for leaving the Apple ecosystem.

It’s been fun to see this play out at my current (self-destructing) company. A large percentage of senior engineers have left; rather than make changes, management is going about business as usual.

I wouldn’t mind so much if I could have access to older software that still runs on the device.

The article is light on details, but of course there's always this: > For those concerned with privacy, this means a trip to the office supply store to grab more tape with which to cover up the pesky little lenses.
