If you type something in the bar it doesn't matter what it shows. If you copy the URL, the fact that what you copy is literally different than what you're looking at is confusing. You copied "example.com", so why does th

People are going to use the mobile app regardless. It's the first-class experience for mobile. People don't use the app because the website is poor; people simply use the app . Or to put it another way, Yelp would be rightfully l

It's unreasonable because it violates user expectations. One click already makes the field editable and selects the text, having a second click change the text has no precedent whatsoever. It's also confusing because this means th

Ignoring advertising for a moment, mobile apps are first-class clients, whereas mobile websites frequently aren't. Mobile websites are usually stripped-down experiences, and the company doesn't want to invest the effort in turning

The Development Status section of the manual mentions a follow-on project called Boomerang¹. It looks like the GitHub repo² only had activity for about 2 years, then stopped. Is that a dead project? ¹ https://www.seas.upenn.edu&#x

Unison has been an indispensable tool for me for many years. I keep my desktop and laptop in sync by using an always-on Linode as a sync server. Something I love about Unison is the fact that I can sync files from anywhere on my filesystem

Rather amusingly, both Panic's Unison and this Unison used the same ~/Library/Application Support/Unison directory on macOS. Thankfully they used different filenames and so didn't end up conflicting.

I used to be in the "no webmail" camp until I started using Fastmail. I now find myself keeping a Safari pinned tab to their webmail and using it as my primary email interface. Also speaking of mobile apps, Fastmail actually suppo

This sounds exactly like my dream tool, the very thing I've been meaning to write myself and haven't gotten around to it. Thank you for writing this! Suggestion: I'd love to see a `revise.autoSquash` git config flag (like `re

I second the Fastmail recommendation. Not only has their service been great, but they're also actively working on improving email for everyone (for example with all their work on introducing and standardizing JMAP).

8chan deliberately set itself up such that it's impossible to do anything beyond an IP ban. This was a conscious choice they made, and that doesn't mean they get a pass on failure to enforce rules as a result.

This isn't a free speech issue. We have free speech in most parts of our country without radicalization. This is an issue of a specific environment that actively celebrates hatred and awful behavior. "Free Speech" is a red he

Do posters get banned? If it's not accepted on the board then why does it keep getting posted, and posted sufficiently often that many people are claiming 8chan has CP?

Right, but let's say you didn't do that because you weren't well-versed in the legal system, so all you did was register your copyright, then transfer the registration to your friend, who then stashed the documentation in a f
