macOS has subtle window snapping already, I think introduced in 10.13 but I'm not certain. Moving and resizing windows tries to snap to edges of other windows, but it's a relatively minor effect (which is good because aggressive s

As someone who files an extremely high volume of Apple bug reports, that's not actually true. They occasionally close a bug with "please try again and let us know if it's still happening", but that's extremely rar

For what it's worth, I hate laptop keyboards in general. The MBP keyboard being the best laptop keyboard I've ever used is, quite frankly, an extremely low bar.

I love the newer Mac keyboard. It is hands-down the best laptop keyboard I've ever used. Literally my only complaint is the design of the arrow keys.

Question: do they delete any other posts, or just ones alleging design flaws? Do they give any reason for deletion?

It's always easier to attack than to defend.

I was under the impression that on macOS you ultimately needed to get the task_t to do stuff with a target task, and that getting this for a target task was a privileged operation (unless the target task sent it to you).

Safari does. If you don't visit a tab for a while, it gets unloaded.

Good point, I was thinking of cloning the closure itself, not capturing Arcs and having to clone them to avoid moves. Though in this case it would be C++'s implicit copies rather than capture clauses. In terms of capture clauses, what

by eridius 8y ago
C++ hides the clones from you for sure, but it means it's a lot easier to figure out in Rust where you're copying the closure (because the copies have to be explicit) and thus it's easier to reason about the performance of th

Why not? If you have a sizeable percentage of the mining power, and you can DDoS enough other miners to leave you with 51% of the mining power, doesn't that allow you to double-spend? Edit: After reading other comments, I take it the a

See this other comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19292651 In short, the app, as awful as it is, is an improvement for Saudi women. Getting rid of it will hurt them.

What confuses me about this is the tests were turned off because they were taking too long. But wouldn't the appropriate behavior there be "run a subset of the tests normally, but run the full test suite occasionally" rather

Everybody who operates cloud services in China is subject to these same laws. If you dump Apple over this, every other choice you have is guaranteed to be no better (and likely a hell of a lot worse) on the privacy front.

The "more to the story" is that this is required by Chinese law, as explained by the article: > In a statement, Apple said it had to comply with recently introduced Chinese laws that require cloud services offered to Chinese c

Spellcheck API or autocomplete is also expected to end up with a ton of sensitive information sent to it. I would expect them to either not keep logs of the actual query strings to begin with, or heavily restrict access to them.

This headline is rather sensationalist for something that really should be "Chrome is finally going to catch up with an obvious feature that Safari and Firefox have both had for a while".

What's the purpose of doing this? If you're using Iodine it's presumably because normal HTTPS traffic won't work (e.g. captive portal), so tunneling your DNS back over HTTPS again is bound to fail in this scenario. It se

I just tested Safari 12.0.3 on macOS 10.14.3 with https://websocket.org/echo.html and it works for me. In the inspector it has a Sockets folder with the socket, and when I select it, it shows the textual content of each fra

The SSO domain is idmsa.apple.com. appleid.apple.com is specifically the site for managing your AppleID (e.g. changing your name, password, trusted phone number, etc).

I wrote my own Swift JSON parser quite a while ago, https://github.com/postmates/PMJSON . In my limited benchmarking it parses slower than Foundation's JSONSerialization (by a factor of 2–2.5 IIRC) but encodes fast

Swift has JSONEncoder and JSONDecoder types to do Codable, though internally they have to encode to/decode from the Foundation objects that JSONSerialization produces.

Since this is using Bash, it might be nice to mention that you can't use Bash's built-in math evaluation to solve the problem because Bash uses fixed-width integers and therefore let 2**64==0

Progressive disclosure works with password managers as long as the hidden fields are still in the DOM and are simply rendered invisible to the user. For example, Apple's login forms work this way where they don't show the password

"Legal concerns" is a weird excuse, but personally, I'm glad they didn't name names. The point of this article isn't to shame any browser vendors, it's to talk about WebAssembly. Naming the browsers would hav
