That's a rather narrow view of things, one that I'm surprised to see on HN. Automatically that view is disqualified because we are talking about Bluetooth headphones; there must be software on them to communicate efficiently with

Back in the day, not much of my country, or even the US, had particularly fast internet. Nor did everybody have a disc burner in the days before USB booting being supported by the majority of computers' firmware.

Technically, yes. Realistically, no, because it's not the sort of crack that will make the back shatter; the crack is, somehow, under the surface glass. On my phone, it's entirely cosmetic — it knocks the resale value down, but

If we're talking about iPhones, they don't necessarily break when you drop it, especially the last few generations. You might get an unsightly scuff on the back or edge, at worst the back glass might crack — but it will do so in s

It doesn't seem that bizarre to me. If something can be improved ex post facto, it seems more bizarre to me that this wasn't a thing sooner.

What exactly about $current_year stops an Apple-related blog being relevant when Apple still exists, makes products worthy of scrutiny, and is one of the biggest companies in the world? I fail to see what it is about $current_year that make

TikTok is like Twitter in that you can follow people. Something not trending on Twitter isn't the same as not existing or not showing to one's followers. Likewise, something not becoming a suggested TikTok isn't the same as n

They don’t limit who can post content but rather whose content reaches the suggestions, regardless of a post’s popularity. Also, again, the people turned away from the night club door still can’t go in. Took Too users who don’t post can sti

What kind of night clubs do you go to where there's a high bar of entry — but everybody is still allowed in anyway? It's more like a strip club, where the beautiful people are unpaid strippers who don't even know that they a

Not a problem for one metric, sure. Certainly a problem in others. Let's not imagine that because one thing is a success, all its other failures must be ignored.

This entire article is nothing but evangelisation for Pharo. Misleading title, worthless post. I’m not surprised either. The author only ever writes Pharo evangelicals that consistently fail to demonstrate any of the supposed benefits; we’r

It may never do because Apple's philosophy for window management isn't to make windows any bigger than they need to be — except for full screen windows, which is clearly made for the MacBook Air crowd. In the mean time, try Better

Perhaps it'd be nice if there were a 'Documentation' button beneath the code examples that takes you to the appropriate page in the Docs. There doesn't need to be any further instructions on the landing page, though. Aga
