I find it hard to believe this comment isn't sarcastic. Apple's software, atleast in particular macos, is horrendous - to the point I ditched my m2 macbook for a thinkpad because of how bad it was. It's like a toy OS.

If they're intentionally causing the customer to have an unspendable balance, knowing that it's making them $200m/yr, how is that not fraud (or some kind of crime)? I'd expect atleast CA would do something about it.

I shouldn't have to explain this, but a letter is a medium of communication, that could just as easily be written by a LLM (and transcribed by a human onto paper).

The poster you're replying to is plain wrong, using "class" is ubiquitously common in the javascript/typescript world, it's the idiomatic way to create classes, and it has better semantics than trying to use prototy

I'm a big fan of react, but all the server stuff was a cold hard mistake, it's only a matter of time before the (entire) react team realises it, assuming their nextjs overlords permit it.

Yea, I don't want something trying to emulate emotions. I don't want it to even speak a single word, I just want code, unless I explicitly ask it to speak on something, and even in that scenario I want raw bullet points, with conc

I'm not sure if they meet the requirements for being a terrorist group or if I agree with them being considered terrorists, but I just want to point out the name of the organisation isn't a valid argument in favour of them, the ac

Humans are imperfect and anyone can make mistakes, yes. I would argue there's different categories of mistakes though, in terms of potential outcomes and how preventable they are. A maintainer with potentially millions of users falling

"'such' a phishing attack" makes it sound like a sophisticated, indepth attack, when in reality it's a developer yet again falling for a phishing email that even Sally from finance wouldn't fall for, and althou

This is a nice article. I'm trying to make a map save file format. I'm curious if most developers usually use abstractions over bitflags(safely hiding away the bitwise operators from being typod, etc). My main niggle is I want max

Whenever my apple wallet connects to my phone, It plays a totally useless animation that feels like it takes forever, and covers the entire screen. In that time, you cant see or do anything on the phone. So annoying, and for no reason. Just

I disagree that it's a genocide, but if you're going to link a source showing it is, the United Nations, and/or the wikipedia page on the topic, would be better than a paywalled NYT article.

The cloudflare status page had nothing reported, so I just assumed its some issue elsewhere (and the HN post didn't exist yet), if it wasn't for HN I'd probably be ordering a new router and ripping apart all my network settin

It's a legitimate distinction, "they were in control" and "they weren't in control". If the pilots are on a collision course with a mountain, but are happily sitting there thinking they're going the other

So, people are being treated differently entirely on the basis of their race - but it's not racist because they're lazily cutting corners in following a regulation? If they actually cared why would they not just blur all faces ins

I just tried this, and google returned a variety of videos (guides for fixing), and various text/website tutorials (home depot, reddit etc), I had to scroll to the absolute bottom to see an ad for a plumber.
