Views should react to things like screen size, routes should route. There's really no relation between them and mixing these 2 functionalities has been a recipe for disaster in every app where I've seen it used because finding ro

Incorrect. My first point was that the iPhone XR is not the first phone that only has to be charged once or twice a week. My second point was that you can also extend the life of any phone with a battery case. And yes, after you install a b

This list sounds like it was written by someone who wants to use Apple but needs some justifications not to. I only ever needed one reason to not use Apple products unless I was forced to: They're mostly not good products. The parts th

They have close to 50% of the market in the US and I don't think a strict majority is required to be judged a monopoly. You simply can't ignore iOS if you want to have a successful smartphone app business. That fact alone is enoug

I sure wish someone would force Apple to allow users to sideload apps and buy from other stores though because if you're going to make a smartphone app these days, you cannot afford to ignore iOS and therefore it might as well be a mon

I mostly use Manjaro Linux for my work now because Windows can be quite annoying when trying to use many popular `nix-first` dev tools that I need to use. I also maintain a couple of Macs that are used for testing and doing stuff for iOS. I

This is the same way I feel about CLI only tools. Too much fiddling around with hidden switches and config files for my taste. I'd much rather use a straightforward GUI like VSCode instead of some monstrosity like VI/VIM/Emac

Do you actually believe it and why? To me it looks like a fairly pathetic attempt to damn JavaScript but I'm not sure why anyone who has actually used JS for any length of time would be convinced of its accuracy. The article is hosted

OK, I assume that I should restart or at least log out and back in when I change system settings. Usually I'm following instructions that I found online and they tell you what to do there. I definitely don't go into Group Policy a

Good luck with this, it looks great! Thanks for making it. Some feedback on the demo: - There are no tooltips for the little buttons in the blue border-tab on the top right of the selected element. I hate clicking things to find out what th

The Group Policy editor is a very straightforward GUI for quickly updating the registry for you though. It's no more complicated than using Windows Explorer to find your files. Even editing the registry "directly" using reged

Very cool! Someone should update Wikipedia and add this as a Gopher server implementation. Perhaps soon there will also be a Revival section to add, if enough interest is generated. My curiosity has certainly been piqued!

I got a Chromebook for my wife and she is able to use it for many things, but she still has to use Chrome Remote Desktop to get back to her Windows PC to get files that she didn't move to the cloud yet (most of them). For her kind of w

If you're going to complain about the speed and convenience of developing certain types of software on Windows compared to a Unix system, then I'm with you 100%. I'd rather use Arch to work on anything that's not specifi

The most popular JS style guide from AirBnB uses semi-colons. Google and Facebook uses semi-colons. I'm pretty sure they collectively write way more JS than you do.The most popular code formatter also defaults to having semi-colons b

Absolutist thinking is not good for you and I think that it often clashes with reality. The only browser on your server should be the one you need to run there. How about a server to automate some Windows GUI thing or to run mobile OS emula

Yeah, but if you don't err on the side of freedom, then you're basically supporting Apple-style totalitarianism. I'm glad that Microsoft's business model won out in the PC wars and I look forward to a time when Apple los

It's certainly discussion worthy though and I think discussion is more often the point here on HN than the actual "news" articles. In my opinion, the web standards have moved way too slowly and that is directly the fault of M

If you feel that GNU belongs in the name, I would say that it should be last since, with this subsystem, you need Windows up and running before you can even insert any GNU tools. So, Windows/GNU or more precisely: Windows + GNU. Howeve
