It would be nice to follow vanilla JavaScript/ES2017/ES2018 etc features, usage examples, etc. Maybe an ongoing tutorial series on building some common web features, deconstructing interesting stuff found around the web, etc. Mayb

Disturbing to see the control system for their emergency alert system is this careless. This was human error? No shit.

The fix: stop the annual release cycle. There isn't a customer demand for it, and it’s a hassle for basically everyone. The issues in 10.12.x get fixed with 10.13, but 10.13 has the same amount of different issues, so it’s a wash. Ther

They used to email prompt you for reviews, or prompt you for reviews whenever you signed in. Now they don’t do either, and even if I manually check the backlog of orders, the review time windows have all expired. So I never review anything

The transition seems well underway, for Apple at least. How long does it take though, a decade? It doesn’t seem unreasonable to think iOS devices will replace 95% of all Macs, with exception to professional users who need massive workstatio

Siri understands contact relationships if you fill out the "related names" in your contact cards. Go to your own contact card, and then set a related name for mother to your Mom’s contact card. The next time you ask Siri to “Call

I wonder what their bounce rate was. Seems like such a strange decision to put a community behind mandatory registration… should have dropped you into some public topics instead.

Curious how this will affect Oculus, if much at all. In the long run, I don’t think Oculus is good for the industry. Their room scale tracking hardware is inadequate, and their exclusive titles are dividing a fledgling market. I say this as

Don’t worry, in five billion years that will be some other Earthling’s problem.

I should clarify, the logotype “mozilla” and not necessarily the dino logomark. The original is more legible, less cryptic. They also based their new typeface Fira Sans off that original logotype, which is what they use to brand Firefox. So

The original is objectively better. There’s a lesson in here somewhere on why you shouldn’t make design decisions a public matter.

We’re mostly intrigued with 1:1 locomotion and agility in competitive multiplayer. For instance players who can run a marathon, or throw a baseball, will have a distinct competitive advantage over players who cannot. But, in theory, if you

I think fitness is going to be huge with VR gaming. We’re developing an FPS game, and are researching walking and jogging in place to drive character locomotion. The new Vive trackers are an exciting announcement, because that means we can

Side note: if your Apple account security questions are gibberish, your account now gets stuck in an infinite reset loop. I need to answer the security questions to reset my security questions or to reset my password. This occurs even if yo

I changed my diet a few years ago and also removed sugar. It has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. But I do love chocolate and still like to indulge. Try the premium chocolate bars that are 80%-90% cocoa. The whole bar might be

Agreed. The default behavior for the web audio/video autoplay attribute should depend on a permission request for whitelisting.

I have found Apple Maps to be the absolute worst offender of route complexity. Although sometimes we use it for the specific purpose of taking the scenic route. It will almost always suggest a confusing “shortcut”, which takes more time bec

It wouldn’t surprise me to see Half-Life 3 announced as a flagship title for a Steam VR platform. The individual components are in place, but it’s still immature. I thought the Portal demo on the Vive was mindblowing. If they released Half-

It’s a step in the right direction supporting offline first, encouraging to see this. But I’m also a little disappointed it’s a separate app, and country specific from what I can determine. It would be great to see this rolled into the curr

Perhaps this is partly why it’s so hard to stop cursing. I curse like a sailor, even though I'm consciously aware that it’s an unhelpful, unprofessional, unarticulated form of communication.

I’ve always been under the impression the most secure and (technically) simple solution is to use the local system, like Keychain Access. I wrote a small program that generates a list of random passwords. I just open terminal and type passw
