I read magazines or books.

It can insult the plumbing with "you're a dumb pipe".

When was the ad-free era on Windows (Home)? I don't remember it.

And they had great documentation

Apple was once in the business of producing Performa 630, 631, 635, 636 etc.

Just to be clear, I don't blame young web devs for SwiftUI, I blame Apple for having tried to cater to them hastily.

Craig Federighi was working on EOF at NeXT I think.

So the only way out is something new again.

Maybe responsive layouts are part of the problem? I get their appeal (in the sense of only having to develop one layout), but IMHO, in many cases more strict layouts would be the b…

Why does it have to be 10 AM otherwise? (i.e. why can't it be 8 AM every day?) I also get up at 6 AM every day because I have to on some days.

At least for me, it just had/has the right mix of abstraction and simplicity. It just "ticked" in a way that for example MFC didn't. But I also really liked Objective-C.

iOS killed the macOS star...

Well the problem now is Apple would need to admit they made a mistake. And Apple does not make mistakes.

I think the problem with SwiftUI in a way was (or is) that Cocoa was so good. And, at least IMHO, it didn't need replacing, just improving. But I feel like Apple wanted to appeal t…

That battle is already lost

Would behaviour driven development be helpful here?

I'm both disappointed and relieved that this is virtual.

Secondary radar historically was radar. ADS-B can be seen as kind of a replacement or complement, I guess that's why it falls under the same terminology.

Yeah, while this is a neat project, I was expecting something completely different (and possibly illegal I guess, I don't know).

Yeah sorry if I haven't made myself clearer, I was referring to the article.

That's not what the articles says though: "Ancient mystical texts hint at earlier creation, the life that preceded the Garden, prequels to Genesis. These incarnations are not repor…

The timelines don't really add up for me. So there could have been this hypothetical civilization 55 million years ago already. And they've only just disappeared (if they did) 10'0…
