Ooh, that's really cool. I hadn't even thought of dynamic rebinding as a potential solution—it seems a little more hacky than proper native functionality (especially since application menus will still display the CUA/Windows

The keyboard shortcuts are a major pet peeve of mine on Linux. It wouldn't be technically hard to make the default text editing/WM keys use Super, but I think that Windows-style and Emacs-style shortcuts are too much of an ingra

Here's my (somewhat oversimplified) take: - macOS uses no sub pixel hinting since High Sierra. Instead, it's just grayscale antialiasing. To make up for the unnatural thinness that occurs when grayscale antialiasing is used, fonts

That seems like a loaded question. If third-party app stores are allowed, companies like Epic or Facebook might just make their own app stores (or "launchers"), like they can on Windows. Governments could disallow the App Store an

Are adults truly capable of independent thought either? For a lot of people, Facebook is extremely difficult to avoid, even if they disagree with its privacy practices. Apple is in a unique position to use its regulatory power to force comp

I support most of the requirements listed in this article, in addition to removing the 30% cut. I do not support third-party app stores on iOS because I believe that the benefits of increased consumer choice in that regard do not outweigh t

Building anything significant requires a relatively high level of dexterity, does it not? Even if crows could figure out how to build and operate tools that would allow them to build significant physical structures and objects, their bodi

You could say "Your computer is trustable, if you have verified the silicon of your CPU, motherboard, etc." and it would be equally true. Secure Boot isn't perfect, but it's a lot better than no Secure Boot. The only arg

If anything, websites made with drag-and-drop website builders should always use the latest TLS standard because it’s just a single change for the hosting provider to make for all of the customers. I think the hosting provider generates a c

Go's mediocrity is a feature, since it's supposed to allow larger teams to get more work done. That seems to have worked fairly well in practice. The authors hypothesized that a inexpressive language might actually be superior for

VS Code has far more sensible defaults than Eclipse, in my opinion. If you enjoy using Eclipse, then by all means continue.

Huh! Thanks for the correction. I was under the impression that it was more widespread. I forget the brand of the table saw I used most recently, but I do know that it has that feature.

Totally off-topic, but the automatic blade brakes on modern table saws are really cool. It runs a current through the blade, so when something moist like your finger or a hot dog gets too close (maybe using capacitance?), it automatically d

PDFs are a great file format for digitally viewing print-style publications. This document appears to be in the style of a print publication, not a web page. Here's an example of two far less antiquated technology companies using a PDF

Are you referring to Trump's ban or the judge's injunction? Edit: that’s what I thought (and I agree with you), but I wanted to make sure since some other commenters sensed the ambiguity.

"Coffee Lake" is more memorable and easily pronounceable than Banias, in my opinion. I think that's the only reason.

Given that I have to re-sign sideloaded open-source iPhone apps every 7 days for them to work, I would imagine that Apple could just revoke the app’s signing certificate and it wouldn’t launch. I don’t know how Android works in this regard.

If it's open source, then just compile it in Xcode and sign it with your personal Apple ID. You don't need a developer account or anything. You will have to resign it every seven days, although you can automate this process with s

Stooping to China's level by blocking foreign software seems like an admission that the US cannot produce a viable competitor with its much more free market, does it not? If the other side plays dirty, playing dirty ourselves in respon

I can't confirm that issue (although I will say that jiggle mode is super finicky—I'm glad to be down to one home page screen with iOS 14). That said, may I suggest you try the home screen editor in Apple Configurator?

How often the "____ is down" threads show up on HN is a function of the popularity and mission-critical-ness of the service. I wouldn't use it as a metric for choosing a cloud provider unless you control for popularity.

Switching to that sort of page is probably the most cost-effective solution for small businesses. I've heard of larger companies running a completely redundant hot standby on another independent cloud platform and switching DNS over to

This is perfectly understandable—mechanical keyboards are certainly not for everyone. I’m in the same boat but for slightly different reasons (and my ideal keyboards are the ThinkPad one you described and the desktop Apple Magic Keyboard, w

It’s always possible, but people (including me) have been running beta versions since June or July and have already reported any issues with third-party apps. Even my bank app worked the very first time on iOS 14, even though it didn’t on t

And this is the first iOS release where I decided to get the beta on my primary device—I haven’t noticed any significant bugs or regressions. While it’s a perfectly reasonable decision to wait a bit, this has been the most stable beta I’ve

I generally support end-to-end encryption for everything, but I'm not sure that it makes sense in the context of IRC. IRC networks are usually public, so anyone could join your channel and listen in, even with end-to-end encryption. It
