How timely, I was just thinking about Sun after doing some office rearranging last week and running into a bunch of sun branded ethernet cables.

On the current M series hardware, in my experience, it's rare for the icon to land from its first bounce before the software is up and ready.

Perhaps its a slight overcorrection but it's better than the past where an online shop I gave my credit card info to would reply to a forgotten password request with an e-mail with my password in it in plaintext. Security used to be awful and people suffered because of it.

I think this is less a "macOS lacks the feature to prevent focus stealing" and more they never even imagined the scenario where it takes time for the app to open. Instead of even considering that a user may add inputs while waiting for launch, potentially signaling that they are no longer requesting focus from the program they clicked on, they simply designed for the optimistic case where there never IS time for the user to give these inputs before their intention of opening the program is completed. Not saying it's any less bad from a user's perspective, but I think there's a difference in mindset here.

That is likely the case; cost savings, simplicity, etc. but the end result is USB-C does not "just work" for most consumers.

I've always found the opposite, do you have any examples where macOS falls short compared to Windows in shortcut consistency?

The "this is how you use it as a daily driver" would be for the sub project called SculptOS, you can find details on that and how to set it up here: https://genode.org/download/sculpt

Jobs was a terrible person on a personal level, all the other tech CEOs are terrible people on a societal level.

Not trying to nitpick you, just genuinely curious what version your first experience was with. There was no System 6.5, there was a 7.5 and System 6 ended at 6.0.8.

"CSS-only" colloquially tends to mean HTML and CSS without Javascript, sometimes without images.

Lots of javascript for a "css-only" tool. Looks like just the rendering is css-only.

Porque no los dos?

> Why the hell is there no key to delete a file?

Cmd+delete? I don't really want it to be a single key as it's too easy to accidentally trigger (say I try to delete some text in a filename but accidentally bump my mouse and lose focus on the name)

One implies "we should regulate AI" and the other implies "we should regulate the wealthy"

> Like most good stories, this one starts in the middle and works its way back and forth

Don't tell me your story is "good," let me read it and I'll be the judge of that.

Oh, I did something similar on my website! https://interruptkey.com

Yeah, people who aren't firemen shouldn't be allowed to shout "fire!" they should just burn to death.

> I wrote Forth/2 out of pure spite, because somehow I heard that it just wasn't possible to write OS/2 applications in assembler

I was thinking about this recently and considering writing a blog post about it, nothing feels more motivational than being told "that's impossible." I implemented a pure CSS draggable a while back when I was told it's impossible.

I agree but it'll never make it there, this is exactly what your average user of this site wants to avoid hearing.

Is it Bit Chat or Bitch At?

I agree, I also would argue that this counts as an earlier incarnation of the System Settings icon: https://i.imgur.com/cqtpKhI.png

> Consider EXE – it is probably an executable, but an executable for what? Most commonly Windows

Has anyone ever used .exe for anything other than Windows?

Yes JPEG-XL has an alpha channel.

How do you pronounce PNG?

I have software people use up on pypi and I'd love to switch to uv for personal use to benefit from the improved speed but I'd need some guarantees that things work EXACTLY how they work on pip or that I could run them concurrently. If I put instructions up for users to "just run pip install xxx" I need to know that if they see any errors I can see those too for debugging/troubleshooting.

Seems to only work in Chrome, I stared at the "end result" in both Firefox and Safari wondering what the heck was so special about a regular old dropdown menu.

Whichever one is selected.

I'm on the Tahoe beta and holding command with an item selected in spotlight shows the path.

Absolutely terrible science, the conclusion is a bunch of mechanistic speculation passed off as causal inference, just more keto bro grifters trying to pretend to be scientists.

Comment from the author found below the post:

> New Yarvin has mostly dropped the king talk and switched to proposing an imperial president like FDR but moreso. I agree it would be extremely un-aesthetic for America to have a king (even though kings are generally aesthetically great).

Jesus f-ing christ, I do not want to discuss politics with anyone who thinks "kings are aesthetically great."
