Yes. IIRC the very first version was basically a german translation of Slackware.

Oh dear, I remember something similar was possible on iOS lockscreen multiple times. What version of Windows was that?

In my experience Firefox on Mac got a good amount faster in the last year.

>I propose that using web components for desktop/mobile applications is not a good thing.

Agree, every platform has it's distinctive look & feel and as a user I expect that my apps follow this for 100%. Recently I checked out Flutter, with the 1.0 release i thought it's worth to play around with it. The first thing i did, was installing their demo app on my iPhone they showed on the release event. Within seconds I noticed that there was something wrong. They tried hard to reimplement the bounce effect during scrolling on iOS, but it just didn't feel 100% right.

I totally understand, that not every user out there has this sharp eye for things like that and that there is definitely a business value going cross platform, but this is not something I would be proud as a developer. It's the cheap root for the developer ending up in a cheap experience for their users. Share your business logic between platforms if appropriate, theme it for your CI if needed, but do the UI as expected.

The update notification on macos can be removed by drag and dropping it out of the screen. But it will show up again (after 24h IIRC) if you don’t change your auto update settings.

It has a reason this not popular.

And with Codable times of manually mapping JSON to objects are over, at least you have to deal with something sane.

From my experience in Berlin it’s more like sitting 20 minutes in the underground, instead of 30 minutes sitting in the car if you include finding a parking lot.

Function keys _and_ TouchID _and_ an Escape Key. That’s like Kinder Surprise... three wishes at once!

Since iOS12 you can do this by holding the spacebar on devices without 3D touch

This is why i love Macs, IMHO the keyboard layout is superior than everything else. home/end/insert/delete/pgup/pgdwn can all be done without specialized keys (and faster because you don't have to move your arm). I am using the small Apple keyboard that matches the one from the Macbooks on my desktop since over 10 years and never ever want such a big clunky board back on my desk like most PC users still use.

Has somebody experience with this? Is it comparable with Dell's?

I don’t think you really can compare Apple’s and Microsoft’s situation here. Think of the extreme bigger amount of software that was written for Windows including all that custom made business software for small companies. Apple was always in the situation that a lot of their 3rd party developers were also „fans“, who are more willing to keep up with their transitions, where however most the Microsoft tech developers were just doing their job and want to keep their stuff only running with the least amount of work necessary.

I've only noticed some UI glitches in some of the apps i am using including ones i personally developed. I can only speak for the later, but it was due to scruffy code which never should have worked as expected.

Nothing special, this game already started when you replaced your datasette with the floppy drive back in the days.

But who is saying they will build their own car? AppleTV is a good example, remember how long an actual Apple Television was rumoured?

Yep, at least you can see the front cam and speaker in that leaked picture.

And yes, it's as slow as it sounds

Yeah, the only thing i'm missing from my well beloved quad core mini is the ability to use a HiDPI display.

Did somebody here get one of these back in the days? https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/apple-development-trans...

I don’t get this article. Should Apple make an ahead of time compiler for Typescript and bridge it to Obj-C? What would be the benefit of using Typescript instead of Swift?

IMHO there is no better package manager then homebrew on linux. It’s so flexible and so much less in your way. The only thing that suck, is that often something breaks when apple does a major release. So in this point i agree, I would love if Apple would directly ship it. But it’s understandable why they don’t, I guess.

They should call it Blast Networking.

You get page-up / page-down behaviour with option+up / option+down shortcuts on Macbook keyboard.

Also important:

begin document = cmd+up

end document = cmd+down

begin of line = cmd+left

end of line = cmd+right

Got rickrolled in 2018 gnarf :(

For people don’t know: Press and hold back button on iOS safari helps in such circumstances.

Good summary, one addition to the corrections others already made: Android Instant Apps are not web apps. They are normal native apps, but limited in size (4MB), can be launched from a weblink and don’t get installed permanently on the device.

Nowadays you can design responsive UIs with Interface Builder or the Android Studio equivalent with joy.

Because you misspelled it twice, Tanenbaum‘s OS is called Minix.

The last rumoured explanation what they did was that they disable the emission control system when the AdBlue (carbamide) tank fill level drops under 10%. According to the EU laws a diesel car isn't allowed to start if the AdBlue is empty so they didn't use it anymore, so it never gets empty...
