Did you get trackpad, wireless, sound and suspend-and-resume to work under Linux? I've tried a couple of times with mbp5,5 but couldn't get everything to run smoothly, and in the end the constant annoyance of unable to scroll or battery run

What's wrong with Code Complete ? You might pick a couple of nits, but these things have to be explained somewhere, and Steve McConnell does a good job there.

The whole quagmire is bigger than just flushing Cache. Apple prohibits developers to store stuff that can be regenerated or re-downloaded. So, arguably, you can't just switch to using Documents for downloadable data.

For the vast majority of developers of iOS apps the specifics of how their data is stored and backed up do not matter. If they were not forced by Apple to adopt this set of constraints they would make decisions on a whim, it would lead to

Easy solution is to use a non-default browser, such as iCab. The dedicated app you've got is somewhat clunky, but it could be made a lot cooler if it was purposed not to "access DDG", but use DDG to "make research easier" or "look up that t

Good work! What is the preferred way to report bugs? I've just stumbled upon two: 1. when mouse cursor approaches top edge of the screen, preview stretches vertically so that it's still square, but pixels are twice as tall as they are thick

This is incredibly helpful even if incomplete. Finally somebody took time to write a decent exposure. Now, if only there were something like that about keyboard (geometry, modifiers, layouts, media keys, dead keys, compositing, input method

Can you elaborate on the "openly weakened stuff" part? I don't know much about security, but I am vaguely aware that there were some efforts by various governments to control, regulate, weaponize and even outlaw crypto, but I don't know whe

Excuse my ignorance, but what has happened over the last few weeks? I didn't have an uplink and it's not like there's a reliable archive of important news stories.

The whole boxes-and-glue model reminds of TeX. Sure, constraint-based layout models are nothing new, but here we've got some specific similarities: line-based processing, optional arguments (H|V) in front, and especially priorities. Assigni

I have recently tried (yet again) to make some bootable USB keys on a mac. Turns out you have to convert iso to UDxx: $ hdiutil convert -format UDRW -o bootable.img bootable.iso && dd if=bootable.img of=/dev/disk1 bs=1m # Chec
