A long time ago I worked with someone who read 1 byte at a time from a socket because they insisted data was cached so the kernel was going to batch it magically somehow. It took me days to convince them to measure it.
If you’re willing to try Neovim I’ve been using xcodebuild.nvim for a couple of years (for macOS not iOS, but they’re both supported).
There have been other attempts; Commit Mono uses a slightly different approach: https://commitmono.com/ (don’t know which came first)
Funny, I don’t know if you’re being sarcastic or sincere because I can’t tell the difference between that car and a Mustang or a Charger from the same decade.
Everyone telling you that it's fast because iTerm2 is slow. Terminal.app is already faster than iTerm2 and on par o very close to most other alternatives in terms of speed.
I also used Terminal until recently and don't use any of the advanced features alternatives provide. The main reason to switch from Terminal.app is truecolor support. The terminfo thing is annoying but I just setenv TERM in ssh config. Better split panes is nice. Configuration in a text file is a matter of taste, but documentation is good.
This is still vaporware but it sounds interesting https://www.joinloop.com
Playlists are ok, but heavily recommending entire albums is bizarre. Its like trying new foods by going to Costco. It would make more sense to select top picks from an artist.
Strongly disagree. It’s probably a generational thing but I listen to music in albums, not in popular hits. This was by far the main reason I used to use Rdio instead of Spotify.
and is not selected by default when you create a new vault.
I was clearly only responding to this part, which is still useful information. Nowhere I said there is no issue, there is no need to always nitpick on everything. I'll go back to not commenting on anything for another year.
and is not selected by default when you create a new vault.
I just tried creating a new vault and it created a .opvault. It became the default with version 6.1, released in Nov 2015 https://app-updates.agilebits.com/product_history/OPI4#v6100...
That style is usually called “single story a”. Monaco is a common monospaced typeface that uses it. I suspect that style is less common because at small sizes it's easily confused with o.
I have two broad arrows, but they’re not Speedmasters :)
Let me know if you start thinking about selling that Ed White ;)
You don't need to imagine it, you just need to look around and see what other people do instead of only considering your own use case.
I only used Silver Efex. It's more flexible and powerful than basic Lightroom and more specialized than Photoshop. It's great for black and white work, it is a tool specifically made for photography, not a general purpose one.
I could see preferring svn to git because of the simpler model, but cvs? No thanks, a vcs without atomic commits is not much better than snapshot archives, maybe worse actually.
Yeah but when you found the wheat you still need to know how to make bread.
tries to automagically optimize poorly written webpages.
Doesn't this describe all web browser development of the past 15 years?
Is GPG security through obscurity, since it only relies on you not knowing my private key?
We also tried tablets 20 years ago. And VR 30 years ago. And electric cars 140 years ago.
I don't really believe this project will work, but your argument is rarely a good reason not to try something.
Without using the mouse and hovering you can press Cmd-Ctrl-E.
The 32 bit runtime (commonly used but misleading name, it should be called legacy) is still supported, but it's not compatible with Swift. iOS had the modern runtime from the start, way before 64 bit.

making arguments from optionals to regular(?) variables.
The customary way of saying that is “unwrapping optional arguments”.
The dream of a GPL world where the software is free and you only pay for the hardware, is pretty much gone.
I feel like you are missing the point of the GNU GPL.

It's all open source right? You are not the first person I see complaining about losing XUL, why is no one forking it instead of just making sarcastic comments? I thought that was the whole point of open source, that when the original maintainer loses interest the community takes over. You even say in another comment that the effort is not very big (I don't know, never seen the code) so why not?
First and foremost, in Italy we dub our movies so well, the dubbing itself could be considered a mastered art.
I think that's just what we tell ourselves to feel better and for national pride. I started watching movies in English many years ago and, even when my English was not yet very good and I had to use subtitles, I preferred watching the original version, the real actor is just much better. Now, after living in the US for a few years, when I hear dubbed movies they sound just ridiculous: everyone speaks with the same flat intonation, there is no emotion in the words, it all sounds fake and, funny detail, I'm now much more aware that the voice is out of sync with the lips. It's both hilarious and painful to endure.
I often see language keywords and punctuation being emphasized, but I find emphasizing my own symbols more useful, since that is what defines my program, like nouns and verbs are the important parts of natural language. Reading code with emphasized punctuation makes me feel like I have the hiccups, pausing off-beat.
I also think emphasizing identifiers helps to see some of the structure of the code and makes it easier to notice if I misspell something.
The characters are intricate, but I don't know what the information density is (pixels per word); I think they have fewer charaters per idea in Japanese, and more essential pixels per character.
Interestingly, that appears to not be the case for Japanese, quite the opposite in fact. There was a research a while ago about the speed of spoken language that I think can loosely be applied here (number of characters per syllable depends on which Japanese alphabet is being used). The research concluded that Japanese is very low density (and thus spoken very fast).
How do you propose they pay websites you visit without tracking which websites you visit?
