I’ve seen the bread in most Asian countries. You get what you pay for. Only premium bread may be worth it, and still not on pair with cheap basic European bread.

Spotlight is a really good search tool

I loved Spotlight until I had to check out several project to my computer. Now with thousands of non-own files it’s really hard to find what I want. Even if I look for my own projects, Spotlight shows the same project as it appears in several node_modules as a dependency. Find out the right one means I have to hold alt on each item. Ludicrous.

I was expecting a rant about the Finder, found one on window management (which has infinite solutions).

Other than the spacebar and column view, the Finder is a toy compared to File Explorer.exe and I’ll never forgive Apple for it. 20 years of staleness.

That’s true, you have to be aware of the email address you used in every service instead of blindly entering your email address.

But you can also deactivate the email address and be done with it.

Because it’s a potential pain.

I just used Hide my email for a non-critical but real-life situation. I had to learn my new email address and I’ll have to remember it forever. I’ll probably change it back to my regular address at some point.

Low-quality spam veeery rarely makes it to my inbox, but “opt-out newsletters after signup” are basically how every business operates nowadays. And that’s spam as far as I’m concerned.

Dots are useful to create new accounts on the same site, but you can’t use it to just tell websites apart (because there’s no label)

This is basically it. Legally it’s all immigrants, but colloquially “immigrants” are people looking for a better (richer) life while “expats” are in a place because they like it, not because their life conditions would be poorer at home.

I grew up an immigrant to Switzerland, now I’m an expat in South East Asia.

What you’re saying was not clear from the start, you keep moving the goalpost.

Ironically XML allowed namespaces so css:color="red" could have totally been a thing. However CSS came out to separate content from style, so doing that wouldn’t have made much sense. I wouldn’t be surprised if the style attribute was added later.

Edit: wow I was right:

HTML 3.0 supports style sheets via the use of the LINK element [1]

HTML 4.0 adds new hooks for style sheets, which suggest how a document is presented. The new ID, CLASS, and STYLE attributes [2]

Prices are so flexible I usually find a hotel and then Google it to find a better price, even if I end up on the same site. The worst thing is when they advertise a price without taxes, which unfortunately is not illegal in most of the world. I think in Europe you’re required to show the final price.

what happens if folks start selling the ‘edit’

You’re onto something. I’m pretty sure that’s going to happen if edits are not limited. We already see “wow this went viral, here’s a link to my album”

It’s not the responsibility, but if you read their post it’s obviously their concern.

Sorry Guillermo but you’re not being truthful here. “$ now” worked on any node server, not just static content, it would just run “npm start”. Now v2+ instead requires a handler-based approach.

But Twitter doesn’t want to be just another webpage. Tweets and its dates are used in court and by historians. That’s basically why Twitter has been hesitant to allow edits.

I kinda wish they let people add some text instead of allowing editing, like:

    Wouldnt it be nice?

    Added: * wouldn’t

which has database-level implications

I don’t think such a change really matters at a company like Twitter. The problem is more about principle than technicalities.

Unlike GitHub, tweets should not be editable forever. I think 5 minutes is reasonable. Even HN has an edit time limit. I hope they also limit how much you can tweets (even though, in reality, adding 4 characters (“not ”) is destructive enough.

Difficulty was not the reason why it took so long. The excuse has been that they want tweets to be immutable, so you don’t share a tweet for it to be changed later.

I don’t know how it compares to Windows and Android, but in South East Asia I get “mobile prices” on my iPhone and they’re actually lower than on the desktop.

Easy. Add an asterisk and nobody will follow it. Problem fixed. That’s actually how we got legal copy longer than the content.

Technically it exists, I wonder if that’s what they used. It’s called BlaBlaCar

You don’t like my “lecturing,” but you continue making preposterous statements and asking questions that can’t be answered without “lecturing.” It’s like you’re saying “why is the sky is blue when we have water?” and then correcting yourself with “but I was talking about the stars, dude. ;)”

To answer pragmatically:

- don’t use the style attribute

- you could use XLST, which is style (and more) that uses the same ML

- are you suggesting that CSS and HTML should have the same style? <a style=“color=\”red\””>? I don’t know how that’s better.

Maybe you’re still missing some lecturing: HTML is content and CSS is style. What you’re saying about 3D context would be specified in CSS, in a separate file, so your CSS-in-HTML readability argument (I guess that’s your argument? Who knows) falls pretty flat.

It’s almost the same as complaining that JS doesn’t have the same format as HTML while it totally could, but instead we have JS-in-HTML. Oh how unfair life is.

As far as I can see, you’re just trolling, so thanks for the laughs.

Signed,

    <a onclick="this.style.background='url(<svg title=\"&#x1F595;\"><rect fill=\"blue\"/></svg>)'">

Contrary to popular belief, HTML and CSS are unrelated.

If any CSS property was also an HTML attribute, any addition to either spec would have to make sure it wouldn’t conflict. One example is the `content` HTML attribute and CSS property. They serve different purposes and have a completely different syntax.

    <meta name="description" content="Cool stuff”>

    .css::before {
        content: url(image.bmp)
    }

Considering the state of Italian railways IT, I wonder if the attack was accomplished by entering admin/admin in some login box.

with people posting where they were/going and picking up other travellers.

That’s ludicrous, I wish people helping other people this way was more common.

Apple TV 4K starts at €199. $100 was an average

The only smart TV I used is a Bravia 4K from 2019 and I was able to install Kodi and side load additional extensions. It was good for me. If Sony stops updating it, I think it’s fine to add a dongle to extend its lifespan. But yeah I was thinking of more expensive pieces like Apple TV.

Why not just never connect it to the network?

I don’t understand this take. I think it's pretty clear a lot of people use Netflix and YouTube and it's incredibly obvious that they wouldn't want to add an extra $100 for a lesser (read: non-integrated) experience to use it on their TV when the TV can do it natively. Of course I'm going to connect my TV to the internet, that's the only thing I use it for.

I think the only solution here would be for appliance vendors to have a "nutrition box" for privacy and advertising, so the user can pick the least obtrusive TV and the vendor cannot just add ads later.

But in the US I don't see that happening this decade.

Again, I know it’s possible and I’m writing this to express my wish that it wasn’t necessary. Installing kernel extensions and keeping “Soundflower 8ch, Soundflower 16ch” permanently in my audio output lists is a compromise and a hack.

No, you still cannot record the computer’s own output. The choices are microphone or “none”. The UI is literally the same.

The only way to record the computer output is to install a kext or some other similar hack.

solid screen recording

You don’t need to open QuickTime anymore for that, just press cmd shift 5

I love the feature, but it doesn’t record the computer audio like it does on iOS. I hope it comes eventually, I don’t want to deal with bloated third party apps.

I love that QuickTime lets you cut (not just trim) and join videos. It’s a fairly obscure feature that has helped me avoid iMovie for the past few years.
