    Which are these "world-class delivery organizations" and are they the exception or the rule? We can acknowledge that political volatility is a main cause but it's not some exogenou…

    Wezterm is an excellent project but it doesn't have native UI chrome like Ghostty does.

    Last weekend I was writing some quick notes in the Notes app, and I could not get it to stop performing nonsensical completions in blinking yellow text. Apple Intelligence disabled…

    I really wish homebrew supported this feature. There are a bunch of terminal tools I have installed through it (and wouldn't make sense to sandbox) that are basically one-person pr…

    I do kind of think the solution to this issue lies at the OS level. It should provide a high degree of UI and workflow standardization (via first party apps, libraries and guidelin…

    Agree, the feature of commutative patches just seems obviously superior? Not sure why there's a critical mass to adopt jj over Pijul apart from jj's git backend.

    I can easily imagine a world where you could install an open source PWA from an archive file into its own security sandbox without any further hoops to jump through, and it continu…

    I think this is amazing work and I'm looking forward to trying it out and maybe adopting long term, but I can't help but think they're selling themselves short with the default the…

    If you're an amateur and really want to spend this much money, get a good enough knife (e.g. the classic victorinox) and a chef's choice electric sharpener, and you won't have any …

    From the announcement > our recent analysis found over 50 times more malware from internet-sideloaded sources than on apps available through Google Play. I will believe this when w…

    We shouldn't accept "sideloading" as a term. It's meant to make "installing an app without monopolist approval" seem like a dirty/weird/niche trick.

    Amen. I am praying for the day when cars honking on lock is banned.

    I think people are dismissing the possibility of universally accessible self-hosting too quickly. We really need to be ambitious as engineers and imagine a future where people have…

    The better comparison are those operating systems which tried for mobile-desktop convergence without adequate consideration of the differences between those platforms, thereby maki…

    The comparison to the evolution of iOS is misleading. With iOS, they introduced users to a new platform by using familiar and appropriate design language on that platform. With the…

    This is an existing and somewhat nitpicky issue, but it's also annoying how they specifically insist on rounded corners "because that matches all modern devices" in the announcemen…

    I agree, I think it extends to anybody who wants a calmer experience or has vision trouble or strain. I guess you can turn those options off but if the aesthetic appeal of the desi…

    I think the original Material 3 was more sensible. Coming from ios-land, its color palette formula was a nice break from the glassy apple standard. It looks like this new version g…

    Is the interface in the screenshot how it actually looks? IMHO, really needs some more visual structure to the messages table.
