Plenty of Apple users complain about Apple, don’t just focus on the fanboys, which every platform has, even Windows.

I'm happy your platform of choice has no bugs nor quirks. Could you let us know which one it is? We can probably help you find the bullshit you put up with that has become second nature.

Yes but also no. How can they find senior COBOL developers if there are no Junior COBOL jobs? Sure someone might pick it up for the money but they will not have “X years of experience” required to work on incredibly sensitive money system

What you said does not contradict the parent comment. Just because Bitcoin is now a thing in El Salvador it doesn't mean that that missing 70% will now starting using it.

Incredibly, neither Treccani [1] nor Wiktionary mention that meaning even for the Latin word. [2] However there's a page on Wikipedia in English [3] and Italian [4] and also Treccani mentions this meaning in Plagiare’s thesaurus [5] on

Monkeys aren't people. You can't label monkeys without risking to label people, therefore you're suggesting we stop labeling anything that could be mistaken for people. I'm sure you've seen "Tag this person&quo

> I don’t think any algo should be in the business of labeling any people period. You’re proving my point. What you’re saying is that we should stop any algo from categorizing anything just to avoid a 0.00001% of hurting someone’s feelin

I think the core difference is that one is a honest mistake and the latter is just deprecating. It’s fine if AI calls me “white treehouse” but it’s less fine if it labels me “stupid”, even if my face really looks stupid. The reality is that

I feel that 0-failure-rate expectations from technology will keep us from progressing as a species. Facebook disabled Thai-to-English translation back in April because it translated the queen as “slut” and it’s been disabled since. Maybe w

That kind of thinking is probably applicable to consumer applications, not for security CLI tools. Anyone deciding to encrypt files with anything other than rar/7z passwords probably wants to know how really secure the tool they’re abo

People are confused about what vanilla JavaScript means. If you’re replacing jQuery for another loose library you’re just fooling yourself and wasting time doing it. This is akin to all those StackOverflow answers suggesting to use `any` fo

This. There’s zero sense in using 1:1 replacements of jQuery nowadays since jQuery already has a slim version. If you want to drop jQuery, you have to rethink the code.

“It’s to avoid data loss of people who forget their passwords.” That’s the explanation HNers gave to me last time I pointed this out regarding some iCloud features. How about companies stop adding backdoors to security features with the exc

So just like any contact form? The API does not expose a “to” field, did you even open the page?

Considering that this is pretty novel, I’d guess that Android v9 offers some APIs that aren’t available in earlier versions. Either way supporting something that was released 3 years ago (and available to devices bought up to 5 years ago) f

Congrats on insulting someone you don’t know because he made a valid point without saying anything about the point they made. They love linters, you sound like you hate linters. Don’t use them and let your colleagues deal with your unbounde

This is not a quirk. It may be targeting the wrong document, but it’s a feature. Somebody spent time on making this behavior happen.

Surely it’s getting annoying though.

Then it depends, maybe 4 years later it will be discussed by the EU and Apple will be forced to pay 1% of what the change brought them. /s

Yeah, sure, technically any vendor can push updates to brick your device, but that doesn’t happen because of the law. This stuff often gets through because it’s small enough, gray enough, and done by smaller companies. Have Apple pull somet

Care to give more context? Are you boycotting Firefox because of some triggering keywords in that article? Or what?

I agree but I'm curious about how it will play out in practice. Apple charges $99/year just to publish apps on the store and then takes 30% of the payments. If forced, will they leave just the $99 payment or will they change it to

I wish I knew how to do this. There’s Mac software I bought 10 years ago and found myself using it again today, but is buggy. The developer released a new major version in the meanwhile and then retired it due to low sales. I contacted him

Giving up the file system is difficult but it’s a godsend. I hated losing the Events when moving from iPhoto to Photos, but in practice no one wants to organize photos and I certainly did not enjoy it, as anal I as I was. Nowadays we don’t

Yes please keep storing your passwords on the desktop just because the desktop platform is so great. Your reasoning makes zero sense. You can keep the platform strong and still keep some information safe, no? WTF HN

It’s annoying that this has been downvoted because having your identity in easily-readable files on your computer is literally worse than saving passwords in a text file: Passwords will prompt 2FA, notifications and whatnot; Cookies might j
