Heads up for anyone using Karabiner to remap their keyboard-- it's not updated for Sierra yet. I figure that's a more popular app among HN crowd than most places, and losing it is really painful.

Any recommendations for a simple keyboard remapper that is compatible with Sierra? All I need is to swap the @ with "

Isn't one of Apple's UK mappings sufficient?

I'd rather see updated Mac hardware. According to MacRumors, it's been 490 days since the last MacBook Pro Retina was released.

MacMini 705 days (2 years) Mac Pro 1009 days (almost 3 years) Appalling!

Tell me about it! I ended up doing a protest using keynote at the Apple Store:

So, there's no new features that anybody asked for, save the clipboard thing, which has unfortunate security implications, and there's a ton of nonsense none of us will ever use, as the Mac platform gets increasingly complex ("the computer for the rest of us" is now anything but), moves away from Unix compatability, and doesn't do anything useful with this additional complexity, but does cause emacs to crash. I'd wai…

Funny I don't particularly find anything interesting after Snow Leopard. After Jobs left, they decided not to decide on anything and just sit on what was already there. At least they're free. Perhaps the most interesting thing these days is what kind of new name they come up with.

It seems to only break apps.

Flycut clipboard history also broken. (Menubar icon flashes open then closes on click, rendering it unusable.)

Is there anything noteworthy under the hood that would compel power users to upgrade? None of the features listed on Apple.com look like things that would be useful from my perspective.

Ars Technica has written a detailed review [0], there's some things on the networking side related to IPv6 and ECN, but that's pretty much it. APFS preview is interesting, but not really stable/usable yet from what I understand.

Phew, was going to lose my Caps Lock -> Ctrl + Escape binding. I downloaded the update, but will wait for Karabiner to support it.

Not sure if it still works, but the ~/Library/KeyBindings/DefaultKeyBinding.dict approach maybe?

I use it for putting # on the § key, and it's as simple as:

    {
    "\U00a7" =     (
        "insertText:",
        "#"
    );
    }
in that file. YMMV on >capitan though.
