Has nobody made a polyfill for swiftUI on other platforms yet? Or is it too tied to apple OS-level APIs? The language itself is pretty nice, last I used it. Even if some of the method (argument?) names in most SDKs are absurdly long.

Why would they? From the moderate of testing I've done of their handwriting recognition on an ipad, they seem to have everything risqué/offensive I could think of in there, even if you have to write it more clearly than other word

pg was added too, first one I tried. I had assumed it was a growth-strategy thing, but testing makes more sense. Surprised to see one of these kinds of sites be opt-in. Most things I see using HN data are real loosey goosey about it.

Josh Wardle really lucked out by both accidentally having the best name for that game, and it hitting a cultural firestorm quite quickly. IIRC, NYT are mostly going after other implementations if they have similar names.

Orion browser for iOS allows both chrome and firefox extensions to be installed on iphones. (for now anyway, I'm sure apple will yeet them whenever they find out about it) You need to change some settings first, but it worked when I pu

If you use the regular version of altstore, or jailbreak, you can install it. I messed around with it a few years ago. Running windows xp on an ipad 6 was a bit of a trip.

Have you ever programmed in objectivec or swift? I imagine what you're describing working something like that, but on the command line. A few years back, mpv changed to make named arguments require an equals rather than a whitespace. I

Are we getting x86 emulation, or is that stuck being windows only?

Site tracking might end up being needed if a site changes how their URLs work in response, breaking sites. Facebook made a change a while back where they went from fb.com/<unique readable url>+<tracking slug> to fb.com&#x2F

Looking back, it was kind of weird how both apple and google used webkit for separate proprietary browsers for so long.

How much xylitol is there in things that a dog might eat? When I imagine any kind of artificial sweetener, I assume it's hundreds or thousands of times sweeter than sugar and the quantities present are correspondingly lower.

Is there any naming standardisation for laptop displays like this? It just seems to run on eDP and have a slightly uncommon 3:2 aspect ratio, but I don't know if those mounting points are out of the ordinary. Being able to pull a worki

Those unpowered gliders pictured in the article weren't something I knew much about until I saw it as part of a d-day in real time video. [0] Fantastic solution to a pretty specific logistics problem. I appreciate how the solution they

Were any axis leaders tried for war crimes related to bombing campaigns? Most of what I've heard of relates to smaller more specific warcrimes and ones related to genocide. I'm sure there's more examples, but the only allied

My imac aged out of osx support (got one more OS version through installer hacking), and I couldn't get windows 8 to work right through bootcamp. Haven't reverted since. I've used apple computers for work stuff later, but wou

The way filter lists work on the site means you can easily decide to never see posts or users from threads. The "Profile Labeller" [0] labeller already has a specific filter for threads users. I'm just annoyed you're sti

PDF is a huge standard and the canonical implementation isn't open source. Still an improvement on postscript by not being as easily turing complete.

If you can fully submerge the hose and put your finger on one end, you don't need to suck on it.

In the case of the article you linked, why aren't they getting palletized bundles of books from the publishers or leaving them in shipping boxes?

That threw me off for a second, and I thought it was an old tom7 thing. Exited that he has a new video out.

There's already a firefox extension [0] based on the exact code that google started with for chrome. I remember being a little annoyed by those fake anchor links when they first appeared, but I've since softened to the concept. 0:

This does make the "chicken big mac" they sold as a temporary item in Ireland (and I assume elsewhere) last year and earlier this year make a lot more sense.

You can get vanity numbers, but 1 is reserved for the region's mayor, and anything 1000 or below is assigned based on a raffle system. Other than that, it's first come first served. It can only go on that one car though, so there&

I only learned that disk backed /tmp/ wasn't the default a couple of months ago after mainly using ubuntu for years and wondering why I was quickly running out of ram on a fedora machine.

They also have better produced livestreams in general, making it worth checking in in advance.

Licence plate numbers are an interesting one, since what those mean varies from country to country. Here (Ireland), they are assigned to the car itself via VIN, are never meant to change once assigned, and are backdated based on informati

I think it's a joke about natural keys, based on the date added to the comment: https://github.com/ploeh/ploeh.github.com/commit/6149bcdf0e2... I think the date was chosen because that's when the bl
