What does the 25 years have to do with it? There are developers who've been in the industry for far less time who are much more reactive and responsive to criticism. If anything, that mention of 25 years is an indictment, not anything

It's not my understanding that having a fond nostalgia for somebody's works excuses the article's salty tone that basically tells people they're wrong for thinking the games are ugly, coming up with all manner of excus

One should but, as this has never been necessary on macOS, it would be highly unusual. Java is considered a system-wide framework, even when installed by the user. macOS treats Java applications specially in order to provide them with speci

Goodness me it gets tiring seeing a post like this every time an article about iOS comes up. It's a legitimate point to make, but it should rather be that we talk about the content of the article rather than bring out the 'Apple&#

I'd love to see this done with the page map features from Xcode, with clickable section headings that show up on mouseover and so on.

Does anything still work on an iPad 3? I would have thought a lot of newer apps target iOS 10 or higher by now.

I believe the idea is that the UI that applies to an entire area stays at the top of the screen, like a toolbar. Therefore, it doesn't matter if you scroll from top to bottom, you will still see the toolbar (or perhaps a minimalist ver

Indeed. Office 365 has them on different sides, and iCloud requires going to its home screen to view account settings.

But it's not the case that on every screen you could fill the page to the desired width and still see a sufficient amount of information to make the tedious scrolling worth it.

Petty though it may be, if it's true, if it's sufficiently widespread, then it's a reality with which we must be able to deal.

Indeed! This is the thing about the Other; the very fact that anybody can claim it should refer to one thing and somebody else can claim it means something slightly different demonstrates beyond peradventure that there is no definitive answ

Except that it's not just about Westerners full stop; there's also an element of exoticism, compounded by the lack of proper interactions with the West by most of Japan for around a century. Clearly these depictions of the West ar

Just because it's cliché doesn't mean it isn't specific and thus still useful. I don't like the term either, but that doesn't stop it being the best term to explain a rather particular but difficult-to-illustrate co

Are you talking about the latest MacBook Air, as per the comment, or the previous version that hadn't changed much since 2014? GP is talking about the 2018 model.

I believe in linguistic terms this is called operating in a principally visual modality . That is, the majority of your communication is visual in nature, so it becomes second nature. Even in hearing people, I'm reminded of those who

Not to mention the new signs can involve the hand shapes from, say, the first letter of the borrowed English word. Say the word starts with a D, and everybody recognises the fingerspelt word just from the D alone (in context), then the new

Funny thing is the Wii U, which was still less powerful than the PS3, has a delightful shop. It wasn’t necessarily fast, but it didn’t shit itself loading a JPEG — AND has charming music and animations!

A non sarcastic tl;dr: it’s not that fast software is better, but rather that slow software feels worse. I don’t know that anybody could disagree with the sentiment of how using something feels : everybody likes things to be snappy and res

One word: Splatoon. Well-made motion controls (to the point that motion controls from any other shooter feel terrible) really feel like mouse-level precision for Splatoon. On the other hand, Splatoon is a third person shooter so it may not
