The back button being placed at the top is because it's the clearest place to put an indication of a hierarchy. Remember, iOS has always made it explicit where a back action will take you — the arrow button isn't just an arrow, it

Lucida Grande looked great on displays for which it was designed (non-Retina) but looked a bit naff and oddly-proportioned on Retina displays. Not unreadable by any means, but the features baked into the font to aid readability on non-Retin

Apple has a precedent. The Carbon API was so named because "all lifeforms will be based on it". The Cocoa API was so named as an alternative to the Java API, at one point a major pillar for Mac OS X before Apple discovered people

That's precisely what Marzipan proposes: additional APIs that allow iOS apps to be good Mac apps without needing to port to AppKit. Looking at how it behaves now, it seems to either bridge some UIKit concepts to AppKit directly or repl

Sure it is. We must never forget that one of Microsoft's biggest selling points for UWP, and by extension the Microsoft Store, was to port apps to a platform that was, frankly, dead on arrival, at a time when the vast majority of Windo

No Mac versions, pocket versions, console versions yet. I loved the Mac version back in the days before Safari, it was actually a pretty fantastic browser for the time.

Another user has posted a link to a mod for 1.12 that seems to do cubic chunks. I wouldn't have thought networking would need to be altered for servers where all users have the appropriate mods installed on the client; world generation

I tend to think of interchange formats as human-readable and free of styling. SVG is definitely human-readable but it's harder to visualise than a well-formatted ASCII diagram, plus SVG marries content and style (text is styled by CSS,

I guess that's the thing, though. Yes, mobile users should be using a bouncer — but who's going to set it up for them, who's going to host it for free and in a manner that it has guaranteed next-to-no-downtime? It occurs to m

I don't think I'd be totally sold on actually making diagrams this way than with, say, Dia or draw.io, but I'm now wondering if there could be converters from those programs' native formats to the ASCII format described

I wonder if cubic chunks is possible to add to Minecraft through modding, or to its nearest open-source 'competitor' (for lack of a better term), Minetest.

At a glance, macros. Or maybe the "System Events" portion of Applescript, for Linux. Something like that. Indeed, the page would benefit from an explanation and maybe rationale.

In fairness to the salesperson, they would've been right for typical internet usage. Late 90s and early 00s was the era of the internet toolbar; Windows users never left home without having at least 5 search bars and emoticon buttons!

This is a highly impractical way to live life just to make some stand. It's cutting one's nose to spite one's face. There are other actively maintained browsers with plenty of eyes on them and manpower behind them, many with

Possibly, but I'll take the actively-developed codebase with the eyes of security experts all over it over one with no manpower.

How odd to construe an attention-grabbing headline for Mozilla's official party line. As another comment said, RSS isn't mentioned once — actually, it is, but it's an advertisement for the Verge's own RSS feed.

You'll be several revisions' worth of security patches behind. For an application that is usually one's main means of accessing the rest of the internet, that would be a deal-breaker for me.
