I think it seems logical on paper. I tried it, and it feels perceptually way worse. It also think it's objectively slower. When you go from HTML page to HTML page without JS, the browser starts from scratch on every page. The user gets

I like this familly of technologies. Having an SPA-type app that's mostly backend. Recently i've redone my app website ( https://alt-tab.app ), and I implemented a minimal spa.js that has a similar approach. I find the e

I've been developing a fairly popular macOS app for years. I consider myself in the community for that reason. Apple has bundled everything together in a big mess. - Only certain macOS versions can run certain XCode versions - Only cer

It seems that Fleet will support building XCode apps. It looks like a big regression from AppCode. As of today Fleet doesn't compile my macOS app. I try regularly on new updates. No alternatives, unfortunately

This tool says "Xcode replacement" and "Xcode-free development". I thought there is no way they can build apps without Xcode. How would they replicate the libraries, compilers, etc. I dug more and of course they don&#x27

Domestication is often thought of as a unilateral relationship. Like all relationships, it goes both ways. We have domesticated cows and wheat. Now their population has reached tremendous size. So has our population. We both need the other

If anyone is interested, i'm looking for someone to take over a port of Windows alt+tab window switching for the Mac. The app is very mature, yet it could still be improved in interesting ways. https://github.com/lwouis

Hi OP, I'm the author of AltTab ( https://alt-tab-macos.netlify.app/ ), a popular window switcher for macOS, imitating Windows famous alt+tab shortcut. I know for a fact how hard it is to implement what you did. It looks

Working harder at something will create better outcomes. There is a lot to think about, mitigate, deal with. The more time you put on something, the better the results. For example, your crops are getting attacked by insects. It's exog

Hello, Thank you for sharing this. I'm genuinely wondering how our nose is not a good enough sensor. Are there common cases that affect large areas like the one you live in, where the pollution is not smellable? Thank you

Most people model themselves from their parents and the environment surrounding their youth. Most people are a product of social reproduction. Someone born in a circle is likely to identify with it and remain there. Yes, there are exception

I think it's relevant here because these type of actions are controversial. Some say they serve the cause, some say they hurt the cause. If you believe that they hurt the cause, then you may find an explanation to those actions by digg

These ways of life and ridiculous scale came with fossil fuel and will go away with it, within this century. The mall of the future is probably something close to a farmer's market where people will come to sell goods with bikes/a

People buy rolex to imitate "successful" people. Very few buy rolex because it's useful to them or they are into clock engineering. Rolex doesn't output ads that explain how the clock works; instead they pay celebrities

I think it's fair to say that most people that have to take a car to work are stuck in the system, and that it would be hard or impossible to change that (city center rent being too high, no jobs outside the mega-cities, etc). However

The market is not working. What you see on the graph is a global growth of emissions. CO2 is a global problem, and we haven't improved on it yet, in any significant fashion. If you are implying that the market has reduced emissions in

Not knowing which way the scale tips is in-itself scary, I think. It means moving into uncharted territory. Similarly, global warning is rising temperature, and we are trying hard to model the effects, but it's really all it is: models

That's also my reading. And I agree that SQL is a nice DSL yet way behind general programming languages we enjoy today. I'm dealing with some pretty involved ETL at work these days, and it's really hard and ugly to do it in S

"You're wrong" + insult is not the kind of reply we are looking for here on HN. Either post a constructive argument explaining how they are wrong in your opinion, or abstain from commenting.
