I don't know if you're aware that NetNewsWire is being developed again. It has been a joy to use it both on macOS and iOS.

If any one here would like to see yet another notebook, I recommend checking out Traveller's Company Notebooks. I wrote a bit about them in: https://andregarzia.com/2022/01/got-a-passportsize-traveller...

I was doing JS with frameworks circa 2006. I remember mooTools, Dojo Toolkit, Prototype, jQuery, and some others that were around before 2010. Unless we have very different meanings for the word framework. I consider Prototype, Dojo Toolkit

any platform can become an echo chamber, it really depends on you. There is a difference between Mastodon "no algorithm" echo chambers and Twitter "our algorithm decides your echo chamber". So yeah, you do you. I prefer

folks, if you're as unhappy with this as I am, you should look into being more active in alternative platforms such as Mastodon which has the advantage of better moderation tools and federation.

Hum... I write because I want to write. If someone reads it, great. If they comment on it, awesome. But, it is not for other people that I write, it is for me.

Because there is no money in suing either projects. If a large company such as Apple ships all these codecs, patent holders will flock to try a quick cash grab. These litigations are time and money consuming.

I know that people love their TUIs, especially people working on tiling WM in Linux, I understand them, but I still think that the best TUIs of all time were the products developed by Borland for DOS. The Turbo Vision libraries and the apps

One aspect that I think is crucial is to the stagnation of Mac software is the lack of good documentation and books. Most of what you find about developing apps with Swift is focused on iOS. If you ask anyone about good resources to learn,

Well, for one thing you might be missing is that software doesn't change drastically between versions these days. Specially if you factor rapid release cycles in. So whatever is present in your new version is just a small set of featur

I hope nothing changes for the service. I've been a happy customer for more than a decade.

The amount of people in HN who think they can do a better job at being the CEO of every company; or being the president of any country; or being better than whoever is trying to something, astounds me. Dudes, if saving Firefox was so easy t

An important aspect of this kind of workflow — one that is kinda glossed over in the convo here — is that the relationship one have with a contact is fluid. If the convo with a contact is cool, and you're both having fun, you're p

I had the Pre2 and Pre3, those were the best phones I ever had. I can't believe they failed. At the time I also had both an iPhone and a Nexus (I was developing mobile apps) and the Pre's were my daily drivers. I even got the HP T

Be aware that Apple is a co-founder of ARM and probably has some perpetual license to the IP. They don't need ARM at all at this point.

Also QtWebEngine is a trimmed version of Chromium. Not the most lightweight solution out there. It works very well though.

err.. the main point of NeutralinoJS is that you don't ship a browser with your application. Also, wxWidgets looks very strange on macOS right now. I just built some demos last week from the examples in the repo for wxLua and they look

OP here: I created a new profile in "about:profiles". I can login into HN from that profile. The bug is in the profile then, I just need to figure if it is fixable without nuking the profile.

It does. But damn, two corrupt profiles? One on each Firefox? What is the chance of that?! Anyway, my last attempt will be to create a new profile. I was avoiding that because it feels like quitting. It feels like destroying everything and
