Re:Hacking OpenAI on Friday September 18, 2026 @01:11AM (#49750401)
PHP still rules the world, even though many doesn't want to realize it. It's still the biggest web language by a far margin
Re:Progress Linux 7.2 – Asahi Linux on Thursday August 27, 2026 @07:15AM (#49462908)
Realistically, what would the business case for Apple be where it would make sense to make Linux a first-class citizen on their hardware? Their product is a combination of hardware and software that works together to form the final product.
Re:Deno Desktop on Monday June 22, 2026 @05:13AM (#48627727)
This is pretty much what Tauri solves. It re-uses the systems WebView. So the built apps are tiny (kb to a few mb)
Re:Hetzner Price Adjustment (June 15th, 2026) on Monday June 15, 2026 @10:03AM (#48541448)
Anyone know why? Some of the tiers more than doubled in price, that's pretty insane.
Re:I Hate (Most) Keyboard 'Fn' Keys on Wednesday June 10, 2026 @10:27AM (#48476807)
On macOS, I use a free app called Fluor, that lets me auto switch the Fn key behavior based on which app is active.
I disagree. What if, hear me out, parents actually parent, instead of relegating the parenting to companies, and ruining the internet for the rest of us?
Re:PHP 8.5 gets released today, here's what's new on Thursday November 20, 2025 @06:24AM (#45991505)
This.

One common use case for the @ operator, is when "destructuring" array members into variables. In some cases, you can't know if the member will be available, but it's not important if it's missing. In that case, you can silence the warning.

$array = ['apple', 'pear']; @list($mainFruit, $secondaryFruit, $tertiaryFruit);

Since I suppress the warning that would occur due to the third member not being present, the program will continue executing instead of halting.

Re:Apple will phase out Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 on Wednesday October 29, 2025 @07:48AM (#45745545)
It was implemented in some of the earlier Leopard beta's iirc. Possible speculation from my side, but it was probably removed due to licensing once Oracle expressed interest in acquiring Sun Microsystems.
Re:uBlock Origin Lite Apple App Store on Wednesday October 29, 2025 @05:51AM (#45744662)
As a side note, I personally HATE apps that opens links in an in-app web view (apps like Instagram, Facebook, etc). I really wish Apple could have a system wide preference where it could force in-app web views to open in the browser.
What if I just simply promise to not enjoy it?
Re:Show HN: CSS Extras on Wednesday October 15, 2025 @07:09AM (#45590666)
It is, it's called inline styles
It goes both ways. If you try to post anything remotely criticizing Donald Trump or his government on /r/conservative you'll also get banned. Even if you try to keep it objective.
Re:Playing “Minecraft” Without Minecraft (2024) on Friday September 19, 2025 @09:58AM (#45301746)
Whats the point of the obfuscation in the first place, if they offer mappings to deobfuscate it?
Re:WASM 3.0 Completed on Thursday September 18, 2025 @07:51AM (#45288499)
Totally possible today with modern SPA technology that all major browsers support
Open System Settings, click "Sound" in the sidebar. Under the "Sound Effects" section, you'll find a toggle labeled "Play sound on startup". Turn this off to permanently disable it. Otherwise, the startup sound is tied to the audio level you had before last shutdown.
Re:Blurry rendering of games on Mac on Friday August 15, 2025 @08:56AM (#44911808)
I think what they meant to say was that Rosetta 2 is going away in the future, leaving only native AARCH64 binaries compatible
Re:Windows XP – By Bradford Morgan White on Tuesday August 12, 2025 @05:33AM (#44874195)
You could simply set Windows XP to use the classic theme as well.
Re:Exploring Coroutines in PHP on Tuesday July 08, 2025 @07:47AM (#44499114)
That's not totally correct. PHP has a "short function" syntax for that specific use case, it automatically captures data without the 'use' statement.

    $a = 5;
    $b = fn ($c) => $a * $b;
    print($b(2)); // 10
    print($b(4)); // 20
This is what Apple did when they finally dumped the OS X branding. macOS 15 also reports as 10.15.
Very cool! How does this work from a technical standpoint? Do you have to implement a full HTML/CSS renderer in JS, or is there an official browser API to capture the elements as image data?
Re:PDF to Text, a Challenging Problem on Wednesday May 14, 2025 @06:07AM (#43982761)
Probably due to different font rendering in the OS.

Yes it does support this

Re:Norway on track to be first to go all-electric on Tuesday January 14, 2025 @07:07AM (#42696271)
We do pay carbon tax for all our exports. I know that doesn't defend it. But at least we pay our fair share. Even tough I can definetly see why it looks bad from a moral standpoint.
Re:Juno for YouTube has been removed from the App Store on Tuesday October 01, 2024 @06:16PM (#41714849)
I never understood why Reddit couldn’t just have kept the API free, and embedded ads in the feed directly. They would get their ad revenue, and third party developers would actually help them make money.
Couldn't I just make an aggregate audio device which uses the mic on my MacBook Pro, and speakers of the AirPods?
Yes definetly. Apple's implementation is solid.
Modern Mac's use a very similar sleep state, where they can still receive notifications and perform simple background tasks.
