That's even more non-sensical. The only problem with the original sentence was the comma.

The samples are only there to give one an idea of how one would access GTK from within certain languages — or maybe how easy, painless (?) it can be to use. It is expected that one would know how to properly add dependencies — and if they d

As for 1, I imagine it's because Apple doesn't want the destructive actions front-and-centre. Not only that, but macOS has always encouraged/preferred the drag-and-drop pattern for file management — it might be something with

Not really. The way that people use this live stream is often via YouTube integration with other services rather than via YouTube directly.

I’m not South African, my husband is. I picked it up from him. We use it around our home quite a bit. I was replying to a South African. Whilst talking about South Africa. I'm fairly sure nobody's upset about it, more intrigued.

When you see the inequality in South Africa, when even people working good jobs still get paid only in single digits (which in Rands comes to /nothing/), where things cost so damn much — you might have a slightly more sympathetic

Are they still having the rolling brown-outs in Cape Town? My hubby's family were getting a bit gatvol of those a while back, telling everybody here in New Zealand all about it.

I'm glad I'm not the only one struck by how bizarre those seemed as headline features. Compare to other toolkits (I'll use macOS) where automatically transitioning between windows and tabs is a standard feature of the GUI too

I was always a KDE 3 kinda guy. I tried TDE, which is to KDE 3 as Mate is to GNOME 2, and … boy, you really appreciate how the Mate project managed to keep everything good about GNOME 2 but modernise at the same time.

But 'power users' and 'audio professionals' aren't necessarily the same people.

I'm actually more interested in an explication for the mindset behind this comment's condescending tone. It's a fair enough comment to make — the notion that mass adoption comes by catering to the masses is not one that shoul

The thing is, you can rephrase: > by doing an experiment on Android while maintaining native on iOS as: > by throwing their Android users under the bus It may be a cynical take but it's not an invalid one to take when the thrust

I think that's inaccurate. There are plenty of push notifications that don't annoy people, that are often the primary basis for how people interact with certain apps — Facebook, Messenger, WhatsApp, Slack, Discord, etc. Let's

Something I haven't seen in the comments yet: do we think that Apple now referring to iPadOS by a separate name means future releases will slowly-but-surely (in typical iterative Apple fashion) morph the iPad experience to address not

Technically, an application bundle can be located anywhere on a Mac; there is no installation process, they’re self-contained and always have been. The question of how a regular user could be allowed to install something for all users in th

Which was of absolutely zero use to them now as it remains today; they don't understand what happened.

> they'll just never find it Why not? People always complained about accidentally activating Force Touch when trying to long press. Long press has a precedent in iOS; 3D/Force Touch never did.

by zapzupnz 7y ago
Force Touch is on its way out. Has been for about two generations of iPhone. There's now Haptic Touch which is nothing but a long-press with better feedback.

It is entirely possible to put your point across without being rude; that’s sort of how things are done on HN. We’re all disappointed about something or other, but we still maintain a basic level of courtesy in our posts on this site.

The rude user perspective. Don’t be so presumptuous as to think your rude virtual exhalation of breath could represent all users.

This is a feature of iPadOS 13: the browser can either report itself as an iPad or as the desktop version of Safari; it does the latter by default. iPad users across the board now use a best in class browser and expect a best in class exper

I notice a trend, at least in online fora, to glorify or almost celebrate anxiety and neuroticism. I'm not weighing in on the cause for this phenomenon but I wouldn't be surprised if this is related in some way.

I don't understand this comment. So something is difficult to fix; how does this make the components any less recyclable, less free of harmful toxins? Apple has a fairly comprehensive recycling system, to strip their own systems apart
