    fwiw, I believe the official macOS WhatsApp uses Catalyst.

    In my opinion (which may be worth little), by using "git" in your product's name today you are also locking onto that technology. So if an another or better VCS comes along (like j…

    More issues generally arise from supporting/qualifying older OS versions than supporting specific architectures in my experience, so developers keep around older hardware or VMs fo…

    Is there a way to do that today? For updating bookmarks I've found like half a dozen variants of `tug` alias the community has come to using which is just a slight improvement (bit…

    Just my feedback - I've personally found jj more complex for simple projects. Like if you have a non-collaborative repo where you push to main most of the time after making a serie…

    For macOS: Applications may have permission to access files/services that other apps and even root (I believe) would need user-prompt access to, gated by TCC (potentially including…

    While I was learning a new keyboard layout (Colemak) I went from > 100 WPM to starting from ~20 WPM. I think I got pretty productive when I reached 60/70 WPM and was surprised how …

    They also did not attend university nor received high school diplomas. They were self driven a lot.

    I've been typing in both qwerty and colemak around the same speed (>=100 WPM) for almost a decade. I ultimately ended up deciding to use qwerty at work and colemak at home. At leas…

    Modern versions of Sparkle are a less random in when to show the update alert (lots of software, iTerm including, use ancient versions of Sparkle) DND is not properly/reliably dete…

    When I eat at Chipotle I do half/half on black/pinto beans and sometimes on protein :). It’s a hack because they sometimes give you more that way.

    I buy whole wheat bread with very little sugar, although it is easier to find wheat bread with lots of added sugar and even more so in restaurants. I guess I would consider it as a…

    I'm happy as the author that it's still seeing some good use :)

    Personally (on desktop) this design strains my eyes. I want to look in the center where there's nothing to grasp, and there's the official statement, black banner, time boxes, time…

    Sure, but for clarification the channels I noted are if you are any registered developer and don't have close contact.

    As a side note, the forums aren't the best place for that; the post could just be unseen by the people that matter. The appropriate channels are through Feedback Assistant and/or a…

    As someone that's written a game "cheating" tool there's good technical / reverse engineering value from modding or cheating games. Plus it's fun to just be able to change a game (…

    This website needs to scale text better on mobile (on an iPhone) so it's not hard to read. Especially for a post advocating on using vanilla HTML and how nice and powerful it is. I…

    Keep in mind it's likely easy to buy orange juice high in added sugar and sweeteners, which yes, isn't that healthy.

    It's a misconception that layout switchers are relearning to type, especially if they were proficient qwerty touch typists. The better typists in qwerty have a significantly easier…

    I would look at it differently, i.e, obj-c++ is a valid supported language environment, that makes interopt with C++ pleasant at least compared to other interopt choices. Developer…

    Likely too much friction. Native environments benefit from using the expected IDE and tooling integration to build UI apps on respective platform. C or C++ is the best common suppo…

    Their hinted opinion on that: > That being said, C/C++ are the only languages with a compiler supported by both Google and Apple, so using a different language would have created a…

    It depends. When I was writing almost purely functional programming code in Scala I was frequently cursing at type inference. Each explicit type hint helped me more easily understa…

    I probably think this is true for school, that using laptops is not as productive for taking notes, but I didn't find writing down notes on paper in classes particularly pleasant e…
