   This doesn’t make any sense. Kid wakes up at 7:00, you have 1 hour for breakfast and to get ready for school/work. Then you’re back home at 6:00 and you’ll have another hour for dinner and getting your kid ready for bed. So this leaves

   Exactly. Heroku Add-ons are also fantastic in that regard.

   I completely understand the reasons, but the result is an application which does not feel and behave like a native macOS application. It is a lot better than all the Electron crap out there for sure, but it's still a major reason why F

   If only they'd put all the effort spent into trying to imitate macOS into actually building an AppKit version... I guess that's never going to happen due to the cross platform nature of Firefox, but it also means (among other reas

   I've written a blog about this a while ago [0]. You're limited to what HealthKit allows you to query and the RR intervals are not available. With the release of WatchOS 4 however the SDNN heart rate variability can be queried. [0]

   Don't be fooled kids, this may sound great but it is in fact the gate to hell. Back when I was young the same thing was called SOAP and it also promised standardized APIs in a vendor neutral description format and code generation. It w

    Agreed, however I think it is unavoidable simply because demand for cheap code is many times higher than demand for good code. And even if it was the other way around, I don't think the market would be able to provide it.

    I've seen quite some code which was paid for by public money. If this would actually happen it would mostly just expose a tremendous shitheap of "enterprise" code created by consulting firms whose entire business model is bas

    On iOS Safari set your search engine to DuckDuckGo, use "!g" to search Google, and you won't see any AMP links.

    At least we have BYOR (bring your own rock) policies now. Remember the days when the client provided the rock, ugh!

    Apparently the teams self-select their values, so it looks like these poor souls actually think that working 50 hours a week and eating dinner at the office is good work/life balance.

    I think we need more fine-grained contact permission options. Here's what an app on iOS can read and modify (!) when you allow it to access your contacts: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/contacts/con

    Fantastic app, instabuy. I'm really happy to see these kinds of native Mac apps being successful for so long. They're a breath of fresh air amidst all the Electron crap lately.

    If, like me, you are a happy 1Password subscription customer and don't care about this business decision, the one thing I did learn from this article is to avoid the browser client and only use the native clients.

    I also hope it pushes Sonos to improve their app. It's been clunky and slow for years now and the primary reason I'll be swapping my Play 1 devices with HomePods as soon as they're available where I live.

    You must be overlooking the `Helper` processes. Running a clean install of Atom takes about 400MB memory (macOS Sierra).

    I wonder, does buying users actually work? Doesn't this backfire more often than not? I've been a happy Wunderlist Pro customer, but there is no way I'll be switching to this new To-Do application just because Microsoft decid

    Slack with Fluid: 1 process, 208 MB. Slack Electron: 4 processes, 56 MB + 355 MB + 64 MB + 29 MB = 504 MB This is after signing in to one team, (janky) scrolling through a couple of channels and running for a few minutes.

    Because v4 has been in alpha since august 2015, and v3 hasn't had significant updates since 2015 either.
