Gonna pile up. VS Code with barely any plugins on M1 is noticeably slower than IDEs I've used 15 years ago on a hardware from 20 years go. Slower to render, slower to react to my inpit. It's bordering on unusable on a x86 laptop f

Slack, Discord, Snapchat, Telegram are not open forums as their main selling point. They are 1 to 1 or group/community chat applications first. So relatively scoped or even private. It's like a blog vs icq/irc.

Not using title case also removes ambiguity in some cases and is generally much easier to read. Not sure how or why is it so popular around here.

Same here, must be a bug in the view, for me it's missing the closing parenthesis as well.

If you want to see a true crime, try that website on a phone without an ad blocker. Screen-sized ad after every sentence or two.

Very much depends of what kind of employees they fired.

I like how it's more capable than ios where you can't position app icons arbitrarily and need to use random filler to have them within reach.

One package should probably handle range of one million. Now it's just 4000 packages to install. You wouldn't even notice that in an average js project.

Just responding to the clunky and slow switching that is available. I have this wireless DELL mouse+keyboard set that switches quite easily and fast. Supports up to three devices (dongle + 2x BT). Dedicated key for tge switch, wirelss is in

It's not really hostile in this particular case. It beeps a few times when the status changes and then just displays led in amber instead of green. It is kinda sad how much effort went into this "functionality", how much it i

Setting doesn't always open on "home". Annoyingly so it doesn't even always open on the expected screen, e.g. when opening "Wifi settings" from the network selection you might end up in notifications if it was

Is it possible to do for Location as well? Last time I tried to search for it, it really wasn't possible except through Siri somehow.

Notice the difference in color when you do that. As the other comment pointed out, it only disconnects devices. Apple makes it hard for their users to disable bluetooth (or gps) so features like airtag work well. You are sacrificing your ba

Too bad iOS makes it very hard to disable bluetooth. Android was swipe+click, iOS it's swipe, two long presses, two clicks. Or you can type it, but that's obviously more clicks (though possibly faster). I used to make the effort w

When I see "iOS Navigation Patterns" I cringe. There are no patterns and it's one of the worst things (there are many) when comparing to Android. Going back on Android is easy, and back can mean multiple things. On iOS that I

There's orders of magnitude less TV shows than books. But yes, they are usually more viral as well.

Thanks for the details and background. If I recall correctly, back when I had an Android, every app (Signal, Telegram, Messwnger I think) wanted to become my default messaging app. I'm assuming to do basically do what you are describin

I have an iPhone (and macbook if that matters) and have no idea what all the rage is about. Is iMessage the default sms client? It's just called Messages on my phone. What does it offer? Mine looks like the stock android one. I see vir

If you are even slightly interested in its history, I recommend the book Masters of Doom. Easy read, full of little anecdotes.

Pedestrian deaths also increase because cars are getting bigger - reduced visibility, much more energy, and worse impact zones. Cities should really start to regulate what kind of cars under what conditions they let mix in with people.

And IIRC it used some old OSX binaries to do so? Just terminating the access might be a lucky outcome if that's the case, considring the money involved.

Apple isn't blocking competitive messaging apps from their platform. They are simply blocking unauthorized access to their services. EU won't look at Slack for blocking your irc client, and EU won't look at this.

Wish it would have automatic parser selection by default. Even if just for a (possible) selected subset. Typing `foo | jc | jq ...` would be more convenient than `foo | jc --foo | jq ...`.

How's your experience with non-english searches? Google has become unusable to search in a foreign language if you do not happen to be in a given country. It's trying to be too smart. It's ignoring double quotes, tld restrict

Even more tangential, you can extend that to most common peripheral hardware. And it's kinda outrageous an OS would be forcing this down on their users.
