- basisword 10d agoBecause it's a lazy response. OP might not be a software developer. Should they learn complex software engineering to try and contribute or should they call out a missing feature that's important to them so the actual developers have some data on what to prioritise?
- saghm 10d agoIt's no lazier than saying "Still no <feature> support"
- basisword 10d agoa) that's feedback b) it's useful in a comment thread like this so people can quickly see what the 'caveats' mentioned in the title of the post are
- saghm 10d agoFeedback in a forum stating something the developers are probably well aware people want in a location the developers might not even be reading is not particularly useful feedback. As for the comment thread utility, sure, I guess if you think that not reading the article is valuable for the HN community, but I could just as easily argue that pushing back against comments like that could be seen as valuable for a community that values more thoughtful feedback.
- basisword 10d agoIt was valuable for me. I've been waiting for Asahi on M3 and quickly wanted to know what the 'caveat' was. Saved me some time.
- saghm 10d agoYou're entitled to your opinion that scrolling to the last comment on the page is preferable to reading the article. I'm also entitled to mine that it's a net loss to the quality of conversation.
- izacus 10d agoApple could contribute as well, like Intel does for their Thunderbolt controllers. Why are you demanding a user does that for free instead of the big corp that made the platform?
