I don't see what's "smarter" about it. - The UI seems clumsy and is so flat that it doesn't offer any directional hinting at all. - It's the same size as Firefox (160MB) despite offering significantly less feat

Australia is appalling for this, the average person paying for 24Mbit ADSL2+ gets a messily 7Mbit (and I thought 24Mbit was bad enough!).

As a heavy vim user for 15~ years I don't find h,j,k,l useful and for new users that may be one of the most confusing / alien changes.

Easily - unless you main priority is only the price and you’re not bothered by / interested in ’smart’ functionality or apps, the camera, build quality and OS are excellent, also it’s worth noting that the iPhone’s security and privacy

Indeed, it’d be nice if there was a way to spoof your location without connecting to an offshore VPN (or a DNS proxy in some cases) but we just don’t seem to be there yet.

Question: is the native app actually native or JavaScript in a web frame?

Metabase it’s pretty nice, although it’s a bit slow and resource intensive.

If you’re looking for a small phone I’d recommend the iPhone SE over it any day of the week. As for something different and stupidly small it’s a neat little thing and it seems to perform pretty well although I’d recommend installing a cust

I ordered a jelly which I believe currently holds the title of the worlds smallest smartphone, it arrived today and damn that thing is tiny! I don’t have any intention of putting it in my bum but if that was your aim - it’d certainly get yo

Sounded interesting but it looks like they’ve disallowed Australians from signing up.

Yeah it's pretty easy to tell, even if they've been modified to not look like a browser frame if you notice poor performance or increased memory usage you just have a look in activity monitor or ps and you'll quickly see the

Absolutely agree, I avoid react / JavaScript ‘apps’ at all cost, they perform poorly, use excessive resources and seem to discourage an engineering mindset when writing code.

Perhaps click bait was not the correct term, I more noticed that it’s exploiting previous versions of software - not the current stable release.

The painting you have used as a reference point of cultural standards is not a current style of art that is widely practised or recognised as ‘normal’.

Amazing photos, thanks for sharing. What’s really surprised me around the news coverage of the event is how many Americans did not realise that Puerto Rico is part of America (although very much mistreated by the government as if it was not

Indeed, they seem somewhat hypersexualised for their suggested age or at least hypersensualised to some extent. Furthermore, and this is purely my opinion of course - they seem a bit... tacky(?) and I must admit if I had opened this link at

Yes I thought the title was a bit click bait...

May I suggest that using creepy sketches of young girls may not be the best example if you want people to take your software seriously?

Totally agree, I personally feel this has been the case with 10.13, there hasn’t been any annoying / over the top ‘jazz’ that gets in the way of my workflow and it’s certainly a lot faster than previous macOS versions welcomed by Metal

You can disable them in Twitter’s settings without the need for an extension.

That was my suspicion as well, it’s quite a dramatic improvement.

by mrmondo 9y ago
Yes that’s a huge problem and I’ve seen a lot of misunderstands from it.

As per my other comment, I believe Metal 2 is likely the cause of the lower latency resulting in a much faster UI.

by mrmondo 9y ago
The biggest change I’ve noticed since testing each of the betas and now running the final release is the significant decrease in interface / UI latency, it feels significantly faster to use and is a welcome upgrade.

Interesting indeed. I work for an NGO / non-profit in Melbourne, Australia and we work with a /lot/ of other Australian NGOs and I can honestly say most NGOs (at least in Australia and New Zealand) are not at all like this. S

I see Zipkin is a Java app, without sounding like I’m hating on a language for no reason here - but I wonder if it’s awfully heavy and slow to launch like so most other java apps? By comparison I’d expect a tracer written in Go would be sig
