Personally, I’ve spent a lot of time on both film and digital and currently I’m a lot happier with the results of my film work. Is it a combination of the camera, lens, medium, and process? I’m sure it is. Could I get similar artifacts out of digital? Probably but the key difference is that I don’t and the medium for me doesn’t make me want to. In the end creative work like photography has as many manifestations as people and your comment reads as rather dismissive than curious.

> No keyboard backlighting

When was the last time Apple had a laptop without keyboard lighting?



A long time ago I made a smart home automation web page for my Kindle, so that should definitely work.


Tipping culture has been around in Germany for a long time, hasn’t it? It’s surprisingly common there


It's not the tipping culture that's invading Germany, it's the "begging for tips" culture. The worst kind. You buy a piece of bread at the bakery over the counter, pay with card, the card reader is begging for tips. This is exceptionally out of the ordinary, but I'm afraid there is not enough explicit resistance and there is still too much "looking up to the USA" happening so that the society might accept this idiocy as normal some day.


(I'm German. This is my personal stance.)

Charging a tip for to-go items is preposterous. When dining in, I will indeed tip, usually by rounding up to the next 5 or 10 euro increment for a group meal, or to the next 1 or 2 euro increment for single meals (e.g. during lunch hours near the office). But this is only if the service is actually good. If a restaurant makes me wait more than 30 minutes for a quick lunch, they will be paid exactly the amount posted on the menu.


Mostly contained to tourist areas though. But AFAICT, it's been spreading recently.


Not to this extent


I agree with this. I was curious and tried it out just now - there's a good part of the inside corner that is draggable and a decent amount outside as well. The cursor changes to indicate resizability make it quite difficult for me to make a mistake here.


Creating calendar events and reminders too!

A feature set that has remained unchanged since Siri’s launch…


Why would checking be duplicated? One would need to check only the discussions in this case, since issues will be created from discussions once something is ready to be worked on (as I understood it)


That’s only for non-maintainer submissions. When a maintainer notices a bug or decides on a new feature, they can open an issue for that right away, without prior discussion.


> unless their parents decide otherwise

is a key point I’d say.

`caffeinate -d` in the terminal - it’s built-in


I’ve been building sites since around 2000 and I’ve used HTML tables a lot (including for page layouts, remember those days?). There was a time when I thought I was fluent enough to not have to look up HTML or CSS docs for most things. But I don’t think I’ve ever actively used the DOM API that this article mentions so I learned something new today.


Surprised, as we used this a lot around 2005, when IE6 was still dominant.

If was much simpler to build tables in javascript with this rather than using document.createElement.

Perhaps this was one of those things that you just had to know about, or be working on data heavy web apps.
