> nobody expected to get updates for free Every single comment thread on Parallels releasing update is crying "money grab" over and over.

Upgrade pricing leads to feature bloat. Sure you could stop at say office 2003 features and then only update it (for free) when you need to fix bugs and compatibility issues with new systems. But that's still work! So your only chance

Is anyone... yes, of course. React, Lit, angular, all use classes to define elements (yes you can use functions for a subset of components, but not all)

Hm. But as stated this is mostly a US thing because of critical mass. Most people I know already use at least two or three services so honestly they don’t really care what service you are on. I remember that in uni people who didn’t have me

A year back or so there were articles claiming that apple has stopped all development of content rich games, aiming at quick addictive ones instead. They released studios making the former from contracts. https://www.bloomberg.co

What does it mean to "miss out on crypto"? It's supposed to be a currency right? One hasn't "missed out on dollar" because they weren't alive in the 50's. This is one of the problems crypto has to sol

Ah yes. When looking at it it does indeed look darker towards the window in the screenshots.

Having implemented multiple programs in GUIs for GUIs (with GtK, UIKit and dabbling with AppKit)... I must say that I have my past self every time I want to go back and look how something works. At least with SwiftUI / reactive things

macOS still has window shadows and they are still the same size (by eyeballing them). The only difference is that in dark mode the shadows are of course less visible because the contents of windows are darker.

Could be, but that is a separate problem. For example places I've been in Europe have multiple competing services, even when Uber is present. But that's because the typical Uber business model where drivers are not professional dr

At least for surge pricing there is argument that you need to manage scarcity somehow. If everybody wants a ride because it’s raining, you can either rise prices or not, and make it a lottery. The latter is more fair, but the former has hig

I always loved the look of notebooks in pen and paper ads. Neat text here, nice drawing there… however, does anybody actually take notes like this? My notes always look like trash, and back in school it was the same for everyone. It almost

No, but I do use an external trackpad left of my keyboard. Mainly for drawing programs and sometimes for scrolling. Otherwise I try to (but often fail) to use keyboard shortcuts as much as possible.

Pretty much. One of the stated goals of Swift is to be able to be used from writing operating systems up to writing shell scripts.

It seems to me that these supposedly idle games require some sort of input at any stage. When I hear idle game, I think about irc idle rpgs where you are actually penalized for doing anything.

Same. I stopped reading articles and posts about it because they were all just a pile of whining, while I was truly enjoying the game. I now had the same with MTGA. Turns out discussion about games seems to always turn into complaining.

It would be nice if the default background color was a choice rather than a price point. Personally I like reading in dimly lit rooms or subway rather than outside, so a brighter “paper” is an advantage. But I definitely understand that for

Not sure about MacApp Store, but on iOS they do trim archs and assets as needed.

But on Windows most applications bring in copies of all of their dependencies. And ask for a 20th version of VC redistributable to be installes.

They even mention Trainline in the article, which spits me a next-day ticket from for both those trips in seconds. They hand wave it away by saying the are "unknown to consumers".

Reminds me of a story when a friend was moving places in China. Now this is a second order account so the details are hazy. He had arranged for the movers to come in and take his stuff. When the time came the bell rang and the person on the

That is odd. A well made video takes orders of magnitude more effort than writing it down. Already the first step of making a video is writing the script down and iterating over it.

From my side, I'd say "I have better things to do". If I can find interesting things here, or another aggregator, then I can more than fill my time exploring already at least somehow vetted articles rather than aimlessly brow

I might have misheard, but aren't they also referred to as "jetflies" in the chase scene? That is a bit more apt name for this particular design.

Mainly if they are going to fight with medieval weapons but with force shields, they should be wearing medieval armor. That combination would make them much less mushy.
