Understood. My own personal take-away, is that even with all the digging those folks have done it is not possible to know what Apple is actually doing. Which kind of reinforces your original point in the comment that I was responding to.

Are you sure? Because in a prior article on the same source your parent linked it would appear that it is being used with QuickLook[0]. "While VLU is taking place, the image being looked up is opened in the floating window of a QuickLo

First time I've seriously looked at Vale. Looks pretty great. One thing that I didn't see in the guide, probably toward the end (maybe in "Patterns") is some discussion about error handling.

I gotcha. Agreed.

These are the same sort of arguments that surrounded ActiveX and IE, back in the day. When $LARGE_CORPORATION is stuck on Chrome years after they would like to be (and other fallout), it will have been entirely predictable. Good on you for

> Generating a small enough pattern that runs in a reasonable amount of time required a lot of effort. lol. Programming skills and expert-level understatement. Nice. This is a cool thing.

...or it leads to projects that fail, or remain bug-riddled. Increased usage on Android was an input. The bugs had to be fixed, to get to the increased stability, and performance.

The Lua interpreters, "upvalues" sound suspiciously like the results of Tcl's, "upvar", can anybody comment on how similar they actually are?

I'm probably one of those people. I first came upon his writings while researching text editors and CLIs. It was all under the umbrella of a design, called "The Humane Interface". I agreed with him about somethings, like the

That's fair. I'm sure I did not give a fully-balanced view of the Economist.

Yes, mea culpa. I was calling out that I expect them to concentrate on economics, beyond that I surely went a clause too far.

by mftb 4y ago
That's fair, overstatement on my part.

Cool, I'm sure I saw it go by, thinking I didn't give it enough of a chance.

I agree with everything you said, but want to add, that with regards to this article it's also just the Economist being the Economist. When they say X eclipses Y, they mean makes more money. The fact is that culture is a completely dif

Hmm, I can't get an RSS that small even with -nw (to use the client TUI), but leaving that aside, on my box just running GNU Emacs normally I get 88MB RSS, so maybe we just need to update the acronym. ;)

This quote really goes to the heart of it. I think he was being fairly precise here in the use speed and acuity, contrasted with insight and originality. Our brains just like the rest of our bodies have a lot of different capabilities. I do

He's done little to nothing since the takeover of Twitter to articulate a meaningful or inspiring vision. At best his messaging has been erratic.

Couldn't agree more about the multiple activities thing. It's helped me out a couple of different ways, consistency definitely being one.

One issue with the intensity thing. In my experience, as you age, it gets harder, and harder to up the intensity without incurring injury, and if you're injured it's harder to exercise at all.

I'm purposefully leaving aside the security question and will just respond with a new question of my own. Why would anyone even think of getting into the browser game when they're locked out of competing on arguably the single mos

That's a real stretch in a conversation about anti-competitive practices. These practices were a problem for consumers when MS employed them on Windows and they're a problem now on iOS. Specific to your point, browser vendors comp
