I'm glad it's not a problem for you. It is for me, though, and the point of accessibility is to enable use by everyone.

I'm talking about the difference in size and contrast between the actual headline and the trailing HN sitebit "(archlinux.org)". The final size they end up on my screen is irrelevant to…

As a FreeBSD user I was curious since I wouldn't want to learn to depend on an option only to find it doesn't exist in version n-1, and today I learned that FreeBSD's tar is contributed…

Meta: This post is yet another victim of the HN verbatim title rule despite the verbatim title making little sense as one of many headlines on a news page. How is "Now using Zstandard instead of …

By saying they don't read and don't think. Telling yourself things like that about any group of people makes it easier and easier to disregard them as fellow humans entirely.

Please don’t generalize and dehumanize entire groups of people like this even if you disagree with them on a fundamental world view.

They might literally mean WinAmp is back in the sense that Radionomy acquired it and restarted development.

There’s a relatively hidden option to re-enable this on iOS, at least; the “Button Appearance” Accessibility setting.

RE: #1, I think it’s probably just one of those assumptions that passes over our collective heads until we have a wake-up call, like the need for TLS over leased fiber in the wake of the PRISM/MU…

It sounds like Apple are going to release their own iOS device cloud virtualization product at WWDC in exactly six months, so their lawyers are turning up the heat now on their lawsuit from last Augus…

You're reading way too far into a throwaway comment about a twenty year old webcomic.

It sounds like they were referring more to the difficulty of getting timely Android updates—or getting them at all—depending on device.

Microsoft won a patent for that in 2012: http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=H... And the media skewered them for it: https://duckduckgo.com…

Forensic Files is the best for this if you aren't negatively affected by the content. Peter Thomas had an incredible voice.

Meta: What's up this the URL on this post? The URL is just to the root of Linus' kernel repo on github, the HN sitebit is 'tickgit.com', but from the comments I figured out the act…

Off-topic, but I appreciate you linking to the publisher instead of to Amazon. That's a habit I'm trying to break.

I agree with you aside from the out of place sarcastic human garbage quip. It saddens me how every fast food closure in San Francisco is so celebrated in "progressive" online circles, like t…

I e-mailed you. Thanks!

Late-1980s Apple’s plan for architecting their own RISC CPU. Never made it to production Macs.

I wasn’t around for it, but I always noticed how you could date someone based on whether they call it “Internet” (like “interstate”) or “The Internet” like everyone my age and younger does.

They also invented the router and were Autonomous System #1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interface_Message_Processor …

Don’t worry, I’m not _that_ sarcasm-blind. Doesn’t change the feeling that it’s overly hostile to say the same dismissive industry contrapoint but hidden behind “haha it’s funny because I’m saying the…

If it's not too much trouble, yes please :) I was toying with reading/writing my EAC database file a few months ago, and this news reinvigorated my interest in getting something nice and loc…

MusicBrainz and Discogs are wonderful resources, but I consider them complementary to FreeDB more than equivalent. They are based around the concept of a single canonical "correct" entry for…

The rumor mill of 1990 has our back :) https://tidbits.com/1990/05/07/68040-macintosh/ …

> How much could freedb have been costing MAGIX? More than zero. MAGIX acquired freedb in 2006, so I assume this decision was an easy one for some middle manager who has been there for a couple yea…
