If your configurations are simple, you don’t need this. If they are not, you might. Because you have not run into the problems this has addressed in your career, does not mean that you know better than Apple how to solve them. In fact, it m

Yes, the windows registry, the peak of our craft. No need to innovate, this one’s solved, wrap it up and move on Try taking more time to consider the problems you don’t have that others do, instead of writing anything off that doesn’t make

LinearMouse is an absolute requirement if I am plugging a mouse into macOS. I’m a huge Apple fanboy but the built in acceleration curve is absolutely maddening. Natural scroll direction also makes sense to me on a touchpad, but not a wheel.

One of the functions of rehab is to help you answer that question for yourself: "how do I recover from this". Give a local rehab clinic a call, and decide if you think they will be able to help you. That's a choice you get to

This is, despite how it may otherwise appear, how I see it. I think that the decision is a good one, made by people and a company I don't trust. The broader context of Syrus' actions within the community (which reflect on Wasmer a

This is kind of my point. It would be refreshing to see the CEO that would like our industry to build on top of his platform to show some humility. Do you care to admit to making any mistakes in your interactions, or is it all because we ar

Of course. I hope the edit is more appropriate. Thank you!

Wasmer is a VC company building a platform that depends on the existence of these platform APIs – sockets, threads, forking, etc. They have a vested interest in the existence of these APIs, and the health of the developer ecosystem, to stay

It's fine to be forthcoming about the financial interests of your projects – this is Hacker News, after all. We live on VC. The tone of your previous comment suggests there is none. I find it hard to believe that anything you would spe

The advantage is this guy’s VC backed company gets to sink its teeth into the early stages of WASM platform adoption, helping him line his and his company’s pockets. WASIX is a hostile fork of an open standard that does care about sandboxin

I feel like at this point I have heard convincing arguments for and against basically every point in this article, every article like it, and every comment on them. Hot take: it doesn't matter. If the user cared enough about your decis

An overwhelming number of players who do play these games regularly would not pay for or play them if the vanishing minority of potential users like you who care about hypothetical freedoms had their way.

IMO, this is no longer the case. Basically any new thread is getting astroturfed by marketing teams, and it seems like Reddit started doing SEO to promote newer threads, so the days of reliable reddit reviews seem to be over

you're entitled to your preferences in UX, but it's a bit melodramatic to call that malware.

I don't know how to say this without it coming off as typical internet hyperbole. I mean it quite literally that this makes the thing unusable (as a map) for me. it is a major contributor to why I use Apple Maps for actual maps now. un

since you've resorted to grade school bullying, it's clear my point is beyond you, so I'll meet you at your level: calling something over engineering reduces the problem to black and white thinking, which is incredibly uninte

that's just how FoundationDB is architected; it's not quite the same as building your own DB. the database provides primitives that are safe to build abstractions like this on top of. it's also not quite the same as using an

exactly this. I see it as this: over or under engineering can basically be boiled down to requirements and budget (which is itself a requirement, but many engineers don't seem to see it that way). over engineering is anticipating for f
