An assumption, but it seems to me and many others that they’ve been slowly moving to make macOS more touch interface friendly. I’m typically anti-touch screen on laptops as it drives the price up for a feature I personally almost never use,

Weren’t they stalled for nearly a decade on the manufacturing process node (14nm from 2014 on), so design was really the only way they’ve been able to produce any improvements? I’ve tried keeping up to date on this and that has seemed to be

Anything posted to Stack Overflow has a specific (Creative Commons IIRC) license associated with it. The same is not true of GitHub Copilot, and in fact their FAQ doesn’t specify a license at all, probably because they are technically unabl

You can download older versions of Xcode via https://developer.apple.com/downloads — if you don’t care about shipping anything to an Apple walled garden but just want to dig into some old software, definitely stay on an old

The most important question, whether you own the code, is sort of maybe vaguely answered under “How will GitHub Copilot get better over time?” > You can use the code anywhere, but you do so at your own risk. Something more explicit than

The YouTube apps on Android and iOS support streaming to the Apple TV YouTube app, which seems to be the bulk of what my guests and I want to actually stream. If you have a local media library, or tend to want to stream your computer screen

I have used Snapchat for almost a decade and never for sexting. Ephemerality and a lack of feeds make it a decent place for social media without social cooling. Direct messages and group messaging meanwhile can be saved indefinitely on a ca

Do you have a source that Apple’s waived or otherwise modified their cut with other vendors or “app categories”? Your source only shows that Epic attempted to make a deal and failed. Apple then cut the fee for small developers to appease th

Uncle is a title, so if it’s used as GP did (rather than as a noun like you did), it doesn’t require the commas in this way. Consider the word Mister/“Mr.” Both are correct but use the words differently.

Metaphorically. Clever as it came down into Yosemite via a plane falling out of the sky. Although, yes, it’s a bit of tongue-in-cheek clickbait.

He read the feedback (or at least replied) 3 hours ago. Give him time. Hopefully he’s acknowledging that comment well and we will be hearing from him again soon.

The part of the EULA he violated was for objectionable and harmful content. The rules were laid out ahead of time in the EULA, sure, but the point that this can be considered censorship remains.

It is E2EE, and the backups on Apple's servers are encrypted. However, if you also have iCloud Backup turned on, the encryption key is backed up plain-text [1][2], so the effect ("Apple is able to access them when subpeonaed"

And yet, that’s not what they did, that’s just your image of the kind of people they are, and now you’re spreading that image without any basis. This sibling comment deserves the most attention: https://news.ycombinator.com/

If you're sending from an exchange, you're actually splitting that fee with multiple people (one transaction with multiple recipients including yourself). If you're on your own transaction (e.g. sending from a hardware wallet

What do you want to embed? web3.js? My guess is that is low hanging fruit, given that it’s mostly interacting with Ethereum nodes over HTTP and websockets, so if someone wants to do this, they could pretty straightforward. If their primary

Very likely; although JavaScript became much more popular after it was available outside the browser, that probably was a factor. It doesn’t affect my argument that it is a thriving ecosystem that has made it worth much more than the negati

Thanks for pointing this out. While I think that speaks to the productivity it has provided (I guess that’s a stretch / could be coincidence), what I really should have conveyed is that through a thriving ecosystem and updated standard

Entire industries have been built on top of JavaScript, from rags to the most valuable companies in the world reinvesting back into it. It’s getting mature, too. As someone who 5 years ago refused to learn JavaScript and was firmly in your

This seems like a stretch to publicly shame companies without any sort of certainty they are to blame. There’s a _lot_ of factors in stream quality, one of which that also on its own has a lot of factors is connection speed. For example, po

Thanks, this clarified what’s going on for me. That means you’ll still be paying interest for whatever period you’re holding the position, which really isn’t that bad depending on the rates. However, not to detract from the thread I would t

I’ve been on projects with non-developer (but technical) QA that would barely go as far as diving into development tools... the pay for those team members was extremely low, but they were foreigners and the pay was still above minimum wage.

If you own an Apple Watch, FlickType is a must have. It only works with Messages due to the Apple APIs, but he wasn’t kidding when he said near-iPhone typing speeds. The irony of the whole thing is that this could cue Apple to “sherlock” it

On the contrary, I don’t think the PSX emulation would be worse for input lag; that’s likely all delay from WebRTC, so it’s probably roughly equivalent. For that reason it’s pretty amazing the (lack of) input delay you see with Stadia, whic

No, representatives should be able to read the bill in full to determine if who they in particular represent would be for or against such a law. They don’t represent their higher ups, they represent their locality. Anything else is a failur

Software updates were necessary to bring about internet play without rampant hacking and cheating, and also can provide general fixes to you giving you better value over time, so I’d have to disagree. If you don’t want to play online, you r
