Apple have a measure twice, cut once approach.
Microsoft seem to just hack away, cutting in the dark and don’t bother to measure at all. ;-)

Investing in capability isn't necessarily a signal that we expect to deploy that capability. But it does force the enemy to level up, then when that enemy runs out of money, they tend to implode.
I literally have no idea, so more than happy to be educated!
However we just neglected to build anywhere for them to live...
We are in a cost-of-living crisis, a per-capita recession.
One of the reasons we are not in a full-blown recessions is the wealth that immigrants brought with them!
Building firms are going under, and we gutted the trade schools years ago. So the housing crisis isn't going to resolve anytime soon...
I didn't think to look there LOL
Thanks for the heads up, you've made my day!
“WordPress takes care of 80-90% of the mechanics of Search Engine Optimization (SEO)”
Agencies really latched onto that!
SEO was the new hotness.
An industry was then built around WordPress.
Clients would hear that it was the best at SEO, and they wanted a CMS they could update themselves.
Agencies could churn out variations of the same WordPress site and plugin stack, and then charge clients for ongoing hosting and maintenance fees to keep it updated.
Then there are all the plugins that get added depending on the whims of the 'developer' at the time.
The WordPress website then languishes when the agency or dev vanishes, WordPress gets hacked, and the client gets charged again.
The WP GUI builder plugins are a whole separate hellscape all to themselves!
In my experience, WordPress itself could be called a Cancer to the Web.
The amount of new clients I've picked up who needed help rescuing broken and malware ridden WordPress sites is... well, it's more than I'd like as I really do not enjoy WordPress LOL
But you can't remap the key combinations assigned to the new Tiling feature!
I didn’t think they’d be using Mac minis, Studios or Pros as such.
They can’t all be using the little mini Magic Keyboard or working directly on their laptops?
Can they…. :-O
Do none of Apple's developer team use any other editor at anytime other than XCode! How was this not picked up in beta testing!?
Here's another gripe:
The tiling feature maddens me!
You cant disable it completely or remap the key bindings.
Did anyone at Apple even test this using a full size Magic Keyboard?
Using the FN key to move windows is fine when the key is down next to the Control key. Which it isnt on the full size keyboard.
And I assume the developers at Apple use the big Magic Keyboard?
So did anyone of them even think for a minute about how useless it is to bind the window tiling feature to the FN key?
Plus, you can't fully disable Sequoia's tiling, so it interferes with my 3rd party tiling tool :-/
Is that what is happening!
I've been experiencing this with SublimeText and VSCode!
I've taken screenshots, and a video, but had not submitted any bug reports yet.
Whenever I make a new file, say 'foo.html.haml' the system will append .h to the file.
I'd guessed it was a system wide issue, and uninstalled the new XCode just on the off chance, but that made no difference.
Maybe Apple should have held back the Sequoia release like they often do!
Edit:
These sorts of ridiculous issues are not doing anything to stop me considering moving my dev environment to Linux full time :-/
Such a lovely bunch of people :-/
It’s a fine list.
But to me the items on it feel like life-lessons you have to learn along the way.
For me, I know what I would tell my younger self.
I was born into poverty and no one told me or ever taught me how the world really worked. It was assumed you’d grow up and get a job and things would work out in the end.
So here’s what I would tell myself:
Invest early and often.
Put extra into your pension, buy and hold ETFs.
Do that from the moment you are old enough and earning money.
That’s it.
Money isn’t everything, but money gives you options. Money can help others. You need money. Getting rich suddenly is unlikely to happen.
The irony of warning not to take medical advice on HN, and then proceeding to offer alternative medical advice...
This, despite the fact that Doctors do actually prescribe stimulants for CFS.
I’m not sure it would be damaging.
Off the top of my head, Tesla employees were viewing internal cameras.
And I’m pretty sure Facebook employees used to be able to read private messages and jokes/bragged about it?
Nothing happens to these people, unless they step out of the US that is…
But ya know…
I know they arnt, at least I believe they arnt listening.
But sure as hell feels like it sometimes!
Still I’m smart enough and knowledgable enough to know that combined signals used to target and my own confirmation bias can make it seem like we are being listened to.
We can sometimes talk about something and then literally see an Ad for it.
There was an attempt to push a return of Webrings I think...
But funnily enough, whilst browsing this thread, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41389642
I commented to my colleagues:
Remember when people would find good websites and share them!
Spam sites that scraped SO content where a big problem for a while, so that would have certainly pulled traffic from SO.
If I had to guess about other reasons, I'd say we've moved on from giving our knowledge and content away for the benefit of corporations.
What does being an SO contributor actually get you?
Whats the point in monitoring new posts and answering questions?
The economy is hard enough as it is. I dont need to be giving my time away for free to help corporations generate more billions from Ad Revenue.
But whow knows!?
Like I say, is it actually declining by any metrics that are public? (genuine question)
At least, not anymore.
I have a few legacy logins.
And a few where I’ve connected my accounts - GitHib for instance to get Jetbrains Student Discounts.
But where possible, I avoid!
Also, the obnoxious login with Google prompt in Chrome actually costs businesses money!
I’ve had multiple clients run up paid support because they thought they’d lost their account because they clicked the login with Google option and all their account info seemed to have vanished! (Not my services, just ones I was supporting them using).
Save me contorting my little finger.
Although I wish we could go back CTRL defaulting to where CAPSLOCK is!
I'll check it out!

Decades of using the Mac convention of CMD instead of CTRL makes it hard to switch to CTRL. I get cramping super quickly when using Windows or Linux without Kinto!
Of course, try explaining that to corporate IT who insist you use a locked down Windows PC... thank god I dont have to endure that anymore!
Go Rails!
To paraphrase Steve Jobs, 'Rails is like a glass of ice-water in React Hell!
Maybe situations where the standard recovery env is borked? Was that the case in the recent CrowdStrike debacle?
