Being pedantic, based on your example, I think the Reminders app does a good job at reminding, but a bad job at alerting. But that’s because a reminder to me is a gentle concept.

That’s a form of (investigative) journalism that the world could use more of.

> It’s very weird seeing the coping / seething about a useful tool like this even in HN comments. People have really drunk the proverbial kool-aid / joined the dark side. It’s unclear to me what you mean.

Hard disagree. Developers are often forced to integrate with both IAP and backend workarounds, which creates more effort and edge cases. Maybe you meant to specify a specific subset of iOS-only developers?

Do browsers not make money though? Through leveraging their market share they generate revenue. This is just a different approach. Provide a product (a browser), charge people that want that product.

I think if individual Canadians were asked what the specific benefits and responsibilities of joining the EU would be, they[1] wouldn’t have an answer. A poll like this shows ideological leanings, but Canadians simply aren’t well informed a

Is that in any way related to the Covid framework/protocol that Apple provides?

The M1 chip macbook pro I bought recently is only able to support a single external monitor natively, whereas non-M1 macbooks can support more. That's a massive compromise, and I'll be returning this version

Although I see both sides, I personally lean towards finding that type hints improve readability. And since I tend towards consistency, that ends with most/all functions being typed. Though I spend most my time writing Swift code, whic

For a couple projects and apps I worked on, exposure in one of these stores would be worth a decent amount of engineering effort. You can convert that exposure into users, marketing "buzz", validation of the apps worth to third pa

With a severance package that good, I could be tempted to take this as an opportunity to switch jobs. I suspect that many of these employees aren't motivated by politics, but instead by money.

It seems to be a for-profit commercial company that is fully owned by the non-profit. IANAL, so I don't know the complexities involved with the setup. It's more complicated than trying to say that the "Mozilla that people thi

You speak pretty definitively on the topic. I'm guessing you have some experience with construction that's worth sharing? Would love to hear a positive story of how it turned out!

There is no single voice here on HN. It is a divisive, complex issue. Not only are (some) individuals uncertain on where they stand, but the community itself does not entirely agree. I know personally that I draw the line somewhere, though

Thanks for the anecdote! There does seems to be diversity among the suite of tools large companies use to conduct business. The parents point seems to still stand -- a significant proportion of companies use Office internally, and Excel is

This pretty much sums up my opinions on the matter. I'm glad someone else took the time to write it up and share it with others.

Correct! The frustrating part (for me) is Apple’s lack of transparency in the extended delay in the release of this feature. It was heavily promoted, yet to find out that the ECG feature wasn’t available prior to purchase you had to dig thr

Edit: Still not in Canada, though it seems to be in more countries. Very frustrating! Original: I don't think they enable the ECG feature for anyone outside the US. It's locked based on the point of sale last I checked. Very frust

I really connected with your comment, and it mirrors my personal attitude. Particularly this part: > I see this project as an attempt at absolute honesty. And if we're being honest, doesn't everyone's life contain a fair

by haukilup 8y ago
That seems like a gross oversimplification. Retraining could fit as a component of a much larger plan to tackle the issues facing the job market and employability of people in these fields. Or maybe it can't. Either way, oversimplifyin

I can't downvote so I can't say why. My first impression though is that your post doesn't offer much to the conversation. Sure, that's better than nothing. People should start the process of making backups. But when the

When it's getting repaired, you don't have access to that same laptop. For professionals, it's a waste of time and an interruption to our ability to output. Some people won't care about that. Some do.

Linking this without context suggest it's an answer to the parent's question, which was asking for proof this was an apology. The post is them stating that they're releasing the source code as a celebration of a big update, n

Just because they work in vi as their text editor does not mean they do not run other software on the same laptop. There are fields of software development where performance of your development environment matters.

Oddly enough I read it the same way. It's blaming the conservative predecessors, but on first pass I got the impression they were blaming Trudeau.
