Right, they should have been inspired by something less generic… like the alphabet - it worked for Google and Amazon (the logo has an arrow from A to Z). Feels like Meta is just as generic in that it can be used to describe everything.

True I love the new chips, but the new screen tech is a bit of a battery hog and isn’t perfect (which now that I write this reminds me of when the Retina displays were first introduced…) Yeah, I’m not knocking Apple’s tech - but I was hopin

I think it’s fair to say that Apple was more responsive, faster, with someone like Jobs. There was just a bit more push through the company to fix X, Y or Z. It’s hard to say that any features in particular were delayed for iOS, but I think

This is pretty common if you're looking for build performance. E.g. typecheck as a lint step with tsc, build with babel removing your typescript (it doesn't typecheck either), etc. It's true that tsc on its own can replace a

Reading the thread itself, it’s a bit of both. Windows Terminal is complex, ClearType is complex and Unicode rendering is complex. That said… https://github.com/cmuratori/refterm does exist, does not support ClearType,

Not the OP, but one came to mind quickly: developers like quick build times and easy to edit files, but end users need efficiently-packed, minimal builds - the more you do at build time to improve performance, the more time a developer has

It might be that the future of sticky notes is Quick Notes as in iOS 15, but they do different things, I agree. Apple really should integrate the concept of sticky notes into both Notes and Reminders, to create a bit of a hybrid - a sticky

In defence of search engines, when content disappears from the web, it disappears from the search index within months. And robots.txt has been a thing since forever. But I agree with the overall point, that archiving is distinct from indexi

For future visitors after Google fixes the bug: at this time, Google gave the same response that you would expect if the query mentioned Earth’s moon instead of Mars. This is also probably true if you ask Google the same question as an “Oka

To echo that, it’s not that the resume authoring doesn’t matter, but saying you made it in LaTeX is better said in the cover letter where you can highlight how that’s relevant to the role or why you did so. Most resumes are processed and ch

But according to this article you can avoid this by not uploading photos to Apple’s service. Google is already doing this when you upload photos to Google’s service and Microsoft too. The distinction is whether the matching happens on-devic

Netflix branding is routinely applied to content that Netflix has licensed for distribution in only part of the world. Their FAQ[1] suggests this is because Netflix wasn’t available worldwide at the time, but I’ve seen some internationally-

It’s a usability trade off in some ways. Some people will find it confusing that a link opens their web browser. They might ask how to go back to Google Maps. This way there’s a balance. They can quickly preview the link, and if they want t
