An in-depth review was posted here on HackerNews. It's not considered ready for consumers yet, and was announced for developers to try it out.

As far as standard user-friendly file managers go, I'd say it works well. So what sucks specifically, in your opinion?

The localStorage is not readable across sites. Cookies are. The issue is mostly with 3rd party cookies which many in the industry rely on to do tracking.

Depends on your OS. For Chrome on macOS, it'll show a chrome-styled square box with an icon and a piece of text in the upper right hand corner, kinda like macOS notifications (but they look nothing like it). In general, web notificatio

The rule makes a lot of sense but most of the articles I found completely ignore if this includes systems like GitHub or Bitbucket. Technically you can create a Pull Request based on the branch yet no-one is actually "using" it. W

Not sure why I'm getting down voted. Here's a link to the marketing material where a dark-skinned guy is wearing a hat, scarf, and grows a beard: https://www.apple.com/iphone-x/#face-id

It's a CPU+GPU+ML-optimized chip. I'd say "Bionic" is a bit of a stretch from the marketing department but it's likely a reference to the neural network capabilities which are modeled after biology.

To be fair, the MB Air is fairly old in comparison. Also, the display is far better on the iPhone X and last time iPhone 7 was compared, it faired better than many notebooks in CPU tests as well. It only got better since then.

Yes, I use it all the time. Mainly app-switching and text navigation (3d-touch/force-press on keyboard to enable floating cursor mode). It initially came off as a gimmicky way of 'right clicking' but has evolved into more tha

Fellow Scandinavian here. Apple has talked a lot about privacy and security in last couple of years, both on stage and off stage. I'd even go as far ans say it's probably one of the topics they've been most vocal about off-st

Given that they say it works in the dark, I'd guess dark skin works equally well. They also use a black guy in their marketing material, where he's wearing a winter hat, scarf, and grows a beard

I don't think you ever used <? and ?>. Only thing I recall is that there was a debate over double "{{" or triple "{{{" as the default for auto-escaping output.

This is actually the misconception. JSX is the template language of React. Angular and Vue use a template language on top of HTML. Neither of the 3 intermix business logic with presentation. We shouldn't kid ourselves by talking of &qu

You are almost certainly mistaking it for MacKeeper, which is what pretty much everyone does when I recommend it. It's really sad because CleanMyMac (CMM) is one of the only cleaning tools I've ever used and can recommended, parti

I disagree on your first example: I've historically found the extra whitespace a huge PITA for years. It causes extra "unpredictable" spacing in your design which is usually unwanted. It's only an issue for multi-line pr

The only way I see people stop using React is if there's an example of a company being counter-sued by Facebook as a result of the license or something like that.

A replacement product may help. Try replacing it with something less potent like tea and see where you can go from there.

I agree. 60hz is fine but having tried +100hz CRT monitors back in 199X I am still waiting for them to be mainstream. Perhaps Apple will take the iPad's "ProMotion" 120hz to the mainstream crowd in a not-too-expensive display

I don't think that's an unreasonable question. Your answer suggests that we already have the most optimal solution, which by analogy cows would be too. I assume you know cows aren't. But like with cows, it is not inconceivabl

As funny as your comment seem, it's actually true. Look at the "recent" FBI case. The insecurities became very apparent because Apple had to cooperate.
