You can think of mutual-loyalty as an extended transaction, if you prefer. If, in exchange for you not planning on leaving the company, the company actively does its best to treat you well and preserve your job long-term, that can be a good

ICE is known for being fuzzy with its holds. They issue them over sketchy name collisions and inaccurate or outdated charges in their databases. It's one of the factors in why a bunch of cities don't cooperate with ICE -- they ha

It's not implausible that we'll wind up with something like the extremely long-lasting market for COBOL developers. A niche skill that's absolutely essential in a few places, and which can command high salaries as a result...

Apple's approach of only allowing sites that you've pulled out onto your home screen to request them is actually not bad for balancing this. It means I'm not being constantly nagged while browsing normally, but when I decide

Hm, looks like you’re right. It doesn’t require digital copies, but does set various lengths of time that the state has to hold onto things based on whether they keep paper, microfiche, or digital.

I believe they're pointing out that flying isn't the only way to travel domestically. You can drive or take the train without needing to have a Real ID. (You can certainly quibble about relative practicality of that in a country t

Plus, most of what Real ID does is increase the documents that you need to show to get your ID. The state generally isn't then putting all those documents online somewhere -- it's just requiring that you show them to an employee a

I don't see why that matters? Your app triggered the Apple dialog to be shown, asking a question about what your app is allowed to do, and you can see what the answer the user gave is. Why wouldn't that be enough?

Actually, fun counterpoint. This is the current top of the front page: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43498984 It's about Apple. It's an opinion piece, where someone's saying that Apple should do a retr

The real problem with the Touch Bar was that they never made an external keyboard with it. So I could never actually build it into my habits, since it was only actually available to me half the time. (I'm demonstrably willing to spen

Apple supports content-blockers for Safari. They have since 2015. Would it have been better if they did it sooner? Sure! But the iPhone has currently had officially supported content-blocking for longer than it lacked it.

I'm not convinced that "trusting the browser about the timezone it says it's in" is a dark pattern when it's done in service of scheduling meetings that the user directly requested.

Main argument against starting with Color of Magic would be that it's different enough from the rest of the series that it's not entirely useful for knowing whether you'll want to read the rest. It and Light Fantastic are bot

I don't think someone can claim a "mandate" based on not even having won 50% of the vote. You need to at least be able to say that over half of the voters wanted you to win in order to use language like that. That 1.5% is the

My favorite thing about them is having a "good night" automation. When I get into bed I run it, and it turns off any lights that're still on in my house and locks the doors.

No, because it's not actually a hard link -- if you modify one of the files they'll diverge.

Strongest argument that they didn't is that adding something like that is absolutely a thing Apple would have talked about at length in the press release. They love getting to do extensive "here's something cool that &#x2

Specifically the swipe-up gestures you now need for the unlock / home navigations? (I initially thought you might mean faceid doesn't work if you're a bit shaky, but I just tried that and it surprisingly doesn't care.)

It'd be nifty if they did that, but I'm skeptical they'd introduce something like that on their new budget model.
