I don't quite follow the logic that it doesn't matter. If the reason for someone not to buy a Tesla is because they do (A), why is the alternative to buy from another manufacturer that also does (A)?

Something to supplant the Ambient Light Sensor API would be great. A boolean value there really goes a long way toward minimizing privacy concerns.

Text accompanied by images has been a staple of modern visual communication for the past several hundred years. Emojis just bring additional ways to express oneself in addition to plain text. They augment; they do not replace.

Metal is a lower-level API, somewhat similar to Vulkan or Direct3D 12. OpenGL supports driver extensions that can be used to reduce overhead in a similar manner to Metal, but this is largely a moot point when it comes to OpenGL on macOS, as

They’re very sought after, yeah. Probably a combination of the design itself and heavy pop culture exposure — at one time you’d have a hard time finding a TV show or movie where a G4 Cube didn’t make a cameo.

Might I suggest the much-smaller G4 Cube, in that case? http://lowendmac.com/2000/power-mac-g4-cube/

Microsoft’s usage of “open” here is that “any developer can plug into and extend” GitHub, which I guess in most respects is true. It’s not open in the sense of being open-source (though some GH components/projects are) or community-led

That's good to know. This only applies to what Microsoft calls "consumer non-gaming apps", however. Games and presumably what Microsoft considers professional apps are still subject to the existing fee structure. For the time

"Despicable" is pretty questionable. I still use my six-year-old iPad almost daily. That's certainly a longer lifespan than I've ever gotten out of any PC or a Mac, and the reason is probably because it isn't a fu

I have the same model iPad as the author. Mine is pretty much dog slow at even relatively simple things now, but it still works, and I rarely mind waiting for it to trudge through things. I’d like to replace it at some point, but even at $2

I checked in Firefox Quantum 61.0b and it doesn't disable the back button, so this potentially only affects the stable version.

I don’t understand where in that comment you believe I suggested that the Gnome team should have chosen GitHub. Most likely because I made no suggestion. Please try to be more careful with how you approach reading comments.

It’s a given that the more GitHub features you use, the more difficult it is to move away from GitHub. It’s also a given that you can reasonably limit the extent to which you use GitHub and thereby limit the difficulty in transitioning to a

By committing to use GitHub, you’re only really committing to git. git supports multiple remotes for the purposes of mirroring — use that feature .

Or some LMDB-backed database, sure. With LMDB you'd essentially map the entire address space of the disk, then just persist pointers. Writes would still not be as performant as you would hope, but random read performance would be in th

I don’t disagree on any particular point. From a community-oriented perspective it seems odd to me as well, but I’m completely unqualified to critique the proposal on its technical merits. All I can say is A) I hope it’s a good technical
