I had a microwave that upon finishing would show the message "GOOD". I guess it was a bad translation of "done". It also always had to beep three times at ear piercing volume, even if you opened the door after the first

Genuinely curious: how have you found TouchBar useful for development? I think you're the first dev I've seen say that.

What solutions are you talking about? Premium subscriptions / donations like Ars Technica and the Guardian use? Those are the only major online publishers I can think of that aren't monetizing via ads, paywalls, or both.

It's probably not the the default because it disables the scrolling behavior used everywhere else on iOS. The "Safari is IE6" meme was briefly valid a couple years ago, but they've done a much better job more recently. (

Does vacant mean "listed for rent but is not rented" or does it mean "could be lived in but is empty"? That could explain the difference in numbers.

Anecdotally, Apple ID auth on iOS/macOS has been a mess for me. Changing my password would result in multiple login prompts per device. Sometimes inputting the new password works, sometimes another prompt comes up after a few minutes.

I like the "hello" button. :) The font weight of the body text is almost painfully light though.

A la carte might make sense if the pricing was more reasonable. I don't want to pay $2-3 per episode to own a TV series I'll never watch again.

Surely a new social network could use others' authentication providers (Facebook Connect, Google account, etc.) to get real names/numbers of users and their friends. Smartphone apps could use contacts from the phone itself. I don&

Maybe something to do with hardware accelerated h.264 decoding? (Assuming YouTube serves VP8-encoded videos to Chrome users and h.264 ones to Safari users.)

Safari got a reputation of being "the new IE" a few years ago because it was lagging in standards support. However there's been a lot more progress recently - coinciding with when they started releasing Safari Tech Preview bu

Yeah, it's not an unprecedented situation. What's concerning is that we have this level of debt after a period of relative peace and stability. (Though I vaguely recall there being some expensive wars recently too.)
