There is actually an app like this for macos that supports hint mode and is made for navigating everything with your mouse.

I've seen this too and it's really worrying. I don't understand what can be done about that. A legal solution seems difficult and will probably have some negative side effects. I think people just need to slowly learn how dan

Agreed. Thinking about it, it actually seems like a major achievement that even after so long, Wikipedia's design doesn't feel clunky or unintuitive. I still think of this as the "new" design, and I'm still happy wi

The experience with js-heavy sites even on a very capable desktop is still negative. Too much js introduces bugs, latency, and lack of stability. A page like that will sometimes jump around and resize for no apparent reason. Making wikipedi

A very different style of presentation, but if you want to get a more close-up view of Transdniestria, [this video by bald and bankrupt][1] is worth a watch. [1]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kVnrqBb6y4

I'm curious about this. Could you do iOS app development this way? Or at least native Mac development using cocoa like you could in xcode?

I interpret that as meaning that good looks was one of their design goals. It doesn't necessarily mean everyone will find it pretty.

Apple absolutely does abuse their power as a monopoly. I'm not sure how that's related to asking users for permission to share data with third parties, which is what this was about.

Sometimes it's an alternative to search. If you don't know exactly what to search for but remember generally what it's related to, you can zoom in to nodes you know are somewhat related and find something you're looking

It's unfortunate that people get a sense of moral superiority for having one political view or another. It reminds me of how certain religious people have a sense of moral superiority and it makes them incapable of introspection. Not t

There's also the fact that macOS's UI isn't touch-based, which is a distinction that apple follows religiously. As long as they keep that distinction, there will always be a need for both UIs.

Never used Strapi so take this with a grain of salt - Hasura doesn't provide an admin interface. It's just supposed to be a backend, not a CMS. - Strapi doesn't have a mechanism for sending events to the client, although it s

Protests like this one happened before covid for similar reasons. While those might be factors, I don't think they're very important ones. I think the fact that there have been several such murders in the past few months is the ma

To add to this, I think the reason this particular developer is seen negatively by some is that he does kick up a lot of dust in these situations. Most developers would (understandably) feel like this wasn't worth their time and just s

That's really sad that that's good advice. I can't help but sympathize with him, and with you 20 years ago. Basically, your advice boils down to: "when a larger company tells you to do something, do it". That's

Totally understandable, I think the frustration is more towards companies that try to make the questions a bit more obscure, definitely not your fault. Thanks for sharing, I found it very insightful.

I think this is in reference to the past perfect tense specifically. So "I have gotten sick" vs "I have got sick". I don't know if the latter is actually used in British English, but it's my understanding that
