> AmigaOS 2.x layed out a vision of the desktop UI as a malleable and personalizable toolbox (or one might say "workbench" heh) like no other operating system since then Can you say more? I had (and loved) an A1200 and appreci

What they don’t do is open their keynotes with announcements of the tweaks. This isn’t like the other situations.

I recall the A500 series as being thought of as 16-bit in the UK -- the 32-bit marketing started with the A1200, and devices based on it, like the CD32 (hence the name).

The human in the loop here said “no”, though. Not sure where you’d expect another layer of HITL to resolve this.

This team really have been thinking about weather a lot , and it makes me very curious about what they’ve created this time. It’s that depth of thought and expertise that feels missing from most of the vibe-coded launches we’ve seen recent

The law might be a bad one (and probably is) but on balance better that police investigate suspected illegality than don’t. Overall I’d rather be somewhere where even a former royal can be arrested than somewhere the rule of law is optional

This doesn't feel like good-faith. There are leagues of difference between "what you typed out" when that's in a highly structured compiler-specific codified syntax *expressly designed* as the input to a compiler that pr

Because we exist within a market, where the choices of others end up affecting us - if the market "votes" for a competing thing, that might affect the market for the things you care about. Your car analogy isn't great, but we

This is like "HTML isn't code" again. For non-technical readers, there is their own language, and there is "code" - a bespoke language used solely to instruct machines. If you can't type to the machine in your

Not sure the emotive language is warranted. Message appears to be “if you use robots.txt AND archive sites honor it AND you are dumb enough to delete your data without a backup THEN you won’t have a way to recover and you’ll be sorry”. It a

I could really really use something that would OCR and classify all the screenshots I take of stuff to remember. Have an enormous folder of the damn things.

I’m not following your logic. The co-op is designed for everyone to care _more_ because they are part-owners and because the organisation is set up for a larger good than simple profit-making. In practice the distinction has long been lost

It’s not weird at all; in other circumstances we call it a bonus. You get baseline security by trading away the unlimited upside, but you are still incentivised to produce your best work by knowing if you help create a huge success you’ll g

The A-series chips only support screen mirroring; with the M-class iPads you can have stage manager and multiple windows across two displays; and the main display runs at native resolution. It’s a far better (though still flawed) experience

The mini is the absolute sweet spot for me - enough portability that I don’t mind the many restrictions of iPad OS. But the A-line chips and low-quality screen are problems, and not being able to properly dock it at a monitor is a real hind

Like the article says, threading can be tolerable with a programmer mindset but in more general audiences you often end up with just nests of essentially unthreaded conversations. Even here it’s a major drawback on the very big threads, bec

I don’t mind that iPadOS is limited, my gripe is that Apple limits Mac hardware to protect the iPad. Where’s my 11” OLED MacBook with eSIM? Where’s my Mac with hinged screen and Apple Pencil support? My mac with tolerable cameras? I bet we’

A lot of PS 1.0's UI (2-col toolbox on the left etc) owes its heritage to MacPaint, which was a launch app for the Mac. Even the iPad shares keyboard shortcuts set by the original Mac, though has considerably broken away in other aspec
