Google's World Wide Web running on Apple's Internet.

On iOS and macOS (I can't speak to Android but I'm fairly sure it's a similar mechanism), you're required to prove that a domain and app are linked before allowing URLs to open in your app. You do this by hosting a JSON file on your website that points to your app and specifies which kind of URLs should be redirected. E.g. see https://apple.com/.well-known/apple-app-site-association for how Apple.com does it.

This prevents malicious third-parties from opening bank.com in their own app, but of course it also prevents useful things like using a custom YouTube app.

> it likely won't be coming to Firefox at all, as they consider it harmful

Yikes. The original article should have definitely mentioned this, if it were not just a Google mouthpiece.

I think the problem there is the assumption that the US government of today will behave the same as the government of 1911 or 1982.

Um, are you sure that isn’t because you’re not used to it? I find it feels that way when I’ve switched from Windows or Linux but you get used to it pretty quick.

Those are only the negative experiences. Many people do not like those things. But there are positive aspects to being in the office that you misleadingly did not list.

That's literally the parent's point. "the US did it too!!!" doesn't make it a good thing.

This might be news to you, but many apps on Mac actually have preferences that allow you to change their behavior. That's one of them.

Seems like an argument against making any kind of change to any industry.

That’s not really what we’re talking about. We’re talking about people who prefer office vs. not.

90? Mine comes in at 33. Not sure what disk size has to do with anything anyway?

Surely, with the M1s having been actually publicly available for many months now, there's enough data and benchmarks out there that we don't need to take Apple's performance claims with any salt?

Right, I obviously meant actually released publicly and not in beta.

This feature also won't be available for several months, so it's possible they're planning for Firefox support but hedging their bets in case they can't get it done in time.

Ah, so it's a Chrome-based video editor, not a web-based one.

In general, many engineers could benefit from a well-rounded education in the humanities.

it's just a pithy name

Right, I was looking for an actual statistical answer based on data. Obviously there are instances of individual food waste, my point is that maybe we can make a much larger impact by focusing on food waste at corporations and restaurants.

How much "food waste" is done by individuals instead of corporations?

If the earth's population suddenly dropped to 0, that would help global warming a lot too. Does that mean we should do it?

How would you deprecate it? There's tons of browsers and JS runtimes out there and they all adopt features at different speeds. Undoubtedly some browsers would never adopt the new feature, which means websites will simply break, and the web will become even more fragmented than it already is.

Oh boy I love to read pop psychology on Hacker News. Please continue!

Native iOS apps that use material design don't feel sluggish or laggy.

It looks fine, depending on your taste anyway, but there's noticeable scrolling lag and animations are stuttery the first time they play. Feels sluggish in general.

The low-codeness is certainly impressive. Judging from the sample app though, Flutter still has a long way to go in terms of native look-and-feel (on iOS at least).

Isn't that just... optimizing for space?

Uh, what lol? Is this really what it's like to have HN brain? Not everyone in the tech industry is just working their way up to a FAANG.

I don't think it's unreasonable to expect someone applying for an engineering role to know the technical terminology of their field. Especially if they've been "programming for many years" as this person has.

I think cutting off an interview is fine if it's clear that it's not going to work out. It saves everyone's time. Maybe he could have been less rude about it.

I think you're referring to automatic switching, which is a much newer feature. That indeed is broken iOS to macOS.

But the instantaneous switching works fine in my experience and has since the original AirPods.
