I love Spectacle but use Moom instead because it supports the same features that I used Spectacle for, but it also supports ignoring the gab (when maximizing windows and so on) that is created on the side of the screen the dock is at when t

A language that is exceedingly popular and has a great type system and has great tooling for tests is Rust. When using Rust, it’s quite evident why you have to use both and not one or the other. And when it comes down to it, in theory, proo

To build a phone on top of Android, you would have to believe Android is a good system to build upon. I don't believe that is a fact though. There are lots of problems with Android. Sure, your phone gets access to a lot of apps from da

Appeal to futility... You can always just use the same old same old, but you aren’t gonna create something new - the thing of your dreams - by doing that. They might succeed in this, and if they do, it might be awesome!

That would be a glorious feature. I wonder if QubesOS can do that. In any ways, macOS that I am running as my personal system probably ain't gonna get that feature anytime soon.

Are they not allowing it? Do you mean that because you have to use their platform specific tech instead of some cross-platform tech, they are not allowing it? Maybe they don't believe that you can ever reach 100/100 with "web

Maybe because they don't believe it's the best route to go for them and their users? I'm inclined to agree, although I'd like to see the open web succeed, but I will weep if I have to use web apps instead of native apps

If slack is the best, it really goes to show why nobody should be making non-native apps. Slacks Mac client (and their iOS client) is really, really bad.

No correlation sounds wrong. Which study is that? As far as I know, the consensus is that dietary cholesterol doesn't affect ldl cholesterol as much as saturated fat, but it doesn't have "zero effect" either. Eggs also h
