I realize it's not the same thing, but just FYI, Safari 11.1 is apparently adding ServiceWorker support. [1] One year ago it didn't seem very likely this would land. Maybe the future holds some promise for SharedWorkers on Safari

Two years ago I would have invested some effort to read this thoroughly and try to stay on top of the API changes. I'm sure it's helpful to a lot of folks. For sure I do care about my build toolchain. The nice thing about being a

Pretty sure you can get an adapter to convert the world of M.2 drives into the MBA propietary plug. A little bit of Google-fu should connect you to it on popular online stores.

I also had the 2011 MBA and loved it. What disappoints me even further since 2016, separate from the laptop regression is how badly Apple dropped the ball on the monitor side. The previous gen Thunderbolt display doubled as a lovely hub for

My iPhone X has been on 11.2.5 since the day it came out, and I haven't perceived any slowdowns. Have not done any benchmarking, and I'm not saying performance is the same as before, but anecdotally I haven't seen a differen

That sounds like an excellent outcome! If you would consider writing up your experiences in a blog post I'd be interested in reading.

TL, DR: If you are building a pfSense box with an x86 chip made in the past ~7 years [1], stop reading and carry on. Those of you on a power budget, and want e.g. VPN support at closer to wire speeds, you're being advised to select a C

I saw that, cheers. I'm more interested in the higher level takeaway. Why should developers use Dragonfly? Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the ability to peruse the kernel implementation narrative in the first place. As I'm

If anyone could summarize what makes DragonFly's stack different I'd be obliged. I understand FreeBSD's networking stack has been well-regarded since the 90s[1] and has shipped in many environments and consumer devices. Now t

I'm not an expert, but the article mentions current LiIon using "liquid electrolytes" a few times.

TL, DR: This tech utilizes solid-glass electrolytes vs today's liquid electrolytes. This apparently brings us: "at least three times as much energy density as today’s lithium-ion batteries" "greater number of charging an

Ostensibly the National Association for the Deaf are aware of YouTube's automatic captions feature[1] by now. I wonder if it's possible nobody informed them until after they filed the complaint? I'll grant that on previous oc

Nice to hear you have an audio interface working there! Sounds like you do professional audio -- curious what kind of bandwidth needs you're expecting to have? It's a minor nit, but one reason I prefer Thunderbolt hubs is because

Glad that's working nicely for your needs. Are you happy with the display overall? I agree for the low bandwidth devices you've mentioned it's fine to hang everything off the one line. There is of course a speed hit for highe

This monitor was Apple's chance to ease the USB-C transition and IMO they blew it. The previous gen Thunderbolt display effectively brought all the useful ports[1] back to the MacBooks with one cable, and made even the Air viable for a

Historically the big three agencies make money by charging a fee to the companies/entities they're rating. My understanding is that it's always been that way & things have not materially changed since 2007. A good questio

Congrats on launching! If you're able to do a follow up post in e.g. a month I'd enjoy reading! Especially if you decide to sell directly I'd be curious how that fares vs the App Store. Thanks for sharing here, nice to see t

Next week marks two months since Sierra's public release but there's been no commensurate release of any open source[1]. [1] https://opensource.apple.com/ 10.11.6 is latest macOS release at the time of writing.

You can still disable SIP Even if only an academic exercise, it would be cool to actually strip out SIP and mandatory kernel extension signing. At the time of writing, Apple still hasn't open sourced Sierra's XNU[1]. [1] 10.11.6
