This is the usual argument against doing large infrastructure in the USA, and I think it’s kind of missing the point: the USA also has much larger financial and physical resources than those countries. We also have counterarguments: we have

Various people tried the PC+ scheme in the US and had limited success. Tandy probably came closest. Sinclair and Acorn were extremely ambitious. Acorn even sold an NTSC conversion of the BBC Micro in the US for a short time. My theory is th

I don’t necessarily agree with the post you’re responding to, but the intent seems to be to criticize the lack of visual distinctness between elements, not the lack of pseudo-3D-style rendering.

Yes, there are some people who simply prefer Objective-C, but you need to also realize that Swift is still not ready for system-level programming. Analysis tools aren’t ready; debugging basically means you go to printing variables to stderr

That sounds like a serious misunderstanding of the common use case to me. Have people on the C committee never understood the value of RAII in C++? It’s such a huge safety improvement for ensuring that, for example, a mutex is unlocked — or

I’ve used them for almost 20 years in Ruby, several years in Swift. I do find them useful in those contexts. I haven’t used the C2x version, but one thing I expect them to be useful for is self-documentation of enums representing bitmask va

Fair enough. I will point out there is no commercial entity that does better than Apple on any of these counts. Open source will only get you so far: every hardware vendor other than Apple has lower standards for labor rights and sustainabi

The primary input device to Apple hardware is the trackpad, so it’s kind of irrelevant. But two button mice have been well-supported since classic Mac OS circa 1997-1998.

You may not be completely familiar with them? The object model is fundamentally different. The syntax is vastly different. The runtime capabilities are different. Performance characteristics are different. (Ruby has less startup-time overhe

Probably not possible if you want to directly run a modern web experience on it. Classic macOS has effectively no memory protection.

Because even in the best case scenario, you’d have to wait a half decade before getting that supposed 200%. That’s assuming it passes at all. A bill must get actually passed by both houses of congress and signed into law by the president. U

Out of curiosity, why not just use Notes? (I’m aware there are legit reasons, but I’m curious about your scenario.)

Bob Harp is featured in the article prominently, so I'm not sure how it can be "potentially misleading" as to his role. The whole point of this article is to highlight what was different about this situation. Bob Harp's

You don't understand the purpose and value of headlines. "An engineer husband" is not essential to hook readers into the story. His contribution wasn't ignored in the actual article.

Mac OS X is proof that this can be done if you build a window system from scratch, without X Windows. But I’m not personally on board the just-use-Linux train. There’s room for innovation at the kernel level.

SVN fixed a lot of the issues with CVS, FWIW; setup, maintenance, robustness were much improved. But, yes, git was a major breakthrough. Even if you ignore the advantages of a DVCS and git's raw speed, git provides the ability to branc

If one’s going to argue about choice of first programs, a proper Hello World on classic macOS requires the use of the Mac Toolbox. Using the bundled Think C console isn’t really producing a Mac-native program.
