No argument here. For some reason, people feel like this should be a replacement for traditional luggage tags. I do not understand this mindset. I’d prefer to have a dedicated loop…

This might also explain why the first party luggage loop accessory seems to have been (unfortunately) memory-holed. I think third parties still sell them out of excess inventory, b…

As the platform owner, they explicitly reserve the right to do this - see also Meta, Google, Amazon, etc. Apple collects data, but they usually keep it for their own use, that's th…

I've had the preferences "close windows when quitting an application" and "ask to keep changes when closing documents" checked since the day they appeared in System Preferences. Wi…

I see the appeal of using Gmail to manage all of your mail, including the fact that you can still send through external SMTP servers, but it's just not for me. Native clients conti…

Why are people surprised by this? (No, really) IMAP "defeated" POP long ago if you wanted to use a third-party client but still access mail from anywhere. By definition, this doesn…

Sourcing .zshrc works reasonably well. I have the following at the end of setup.sh -- which creates symlinks and sets up other configurations. makeLinks does most of the work, then…

There's a reason why the CSS ["reset"][1] is still with us - the lower level user-agent stylesheet never really adopted any of this stuff. Presumably, this was to reduce the delta …

English is a stupid language ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Not sure... Someone smarter than me can answer that.

As @rollcat said, I suspect this means that people can contribute modifications, but that they cannot be distributed outside of the official sources. So, while you can send a patch…

How can you be sure that a targeted attack can't exfiltrate all available fields? For the record, I don't have a great answer to this either -- genuinely curious.

I presume this reversal happened during NT's main support window?

Multimarkdown has similar features so far as I know, but it has the same problem as Markdown.pl: written by one person, with a bunch of spot fixes and so isn't really reproducible …

Admittedly, I didn't spend more than 5-10 minutes looking through the specs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The existence of comments about how certain elements were rendered on export made me think tha…

I would have expected this to export CommonMark, but it seems like it's not quite up to that yet. Is that on the board for a future release? This isn't to say I prefer CM -- becaus…

Stick downdoc on the end of that pipeline and you're done -- unless you prefer working in AsciiDoc, I guess. Not my thing, but you do you... https://github.com/opendevise/downdoc

File name extensions .[1] I'm not saying you're wrong, but let's be clear about what these are. I would point out that Linux inherited some, but not all of its naming conventions f…

> Bloomberg's app (Bloomberg Professional) is unusable without an account, which is 100% against iOS guidelines, but who cares? Other big players, such as Amazon, simply negotiate …

Yet nobody seems to ever ask whether or not the merger is a question of survival - would TM or LN poof out of existence if they didn't have this release valve? - or simply just ano…

Disclaimer: I'm not a lawyer or an MD The way that Apple added blood oxygen sensors to the Apple Watch seems instructive in showing how things have changed. It's not a strictly a m…

This scenario is precisely why the outcome of Chevron is useful -- and, I'd argue, vital in addressing areas where legislation is needed, even if we still disagree about what shape…

It’s impossible to break laws that are impractical and unenforceable? That’s cute.
