I've been typing in both qwerty and colemak around the same speed (>=100 WPM) for almost a decade. I ultimately ended up deciding to use qwerty at work and colemak at home. At least for me the comfort difference between layouts is marginal.


Modern versions of Sparkle are a less random in when to show the update alert (lots of software, iTerm including, use ancient versions of Sparkle)

DND is not properly/reliably detectable for 3rd parties. Support for Notification Center is not well designed for a framework to control and works as an auxiliary/supplemental (not primary) functionality for 3rd parties, so apps themselves would have to opt into using it along with adding a lightweight UI indicator which may need to be tailored to the app in question.

Further support is available for apps to support more gentle reminders -- https://sparkle-project.org/documentation/gentle-reminders/ which is a mechanism that iTerm developer wanted but developer has other priorities.

Users can opt into automatically downloading/installing updates too which may minimize prompts


When I eat at Chipotle I do half/half on black/pinto beans and sometimes on protein :). It’s a hack because they sometimes give you more that way.


I buy whole wheat bread with very little sugar, although it is easier to find wheat bread with lots of added sugar and even more so in restaurants. I guess I would consider it as a good part of my balanced nutrition, not so much healthy by itself.


Your "low sugar" bread is only low sugar until you eat it. Whole wheat is mostly polymers of glucose sugar and it's turned into sugar when your body digests it.

Bread is a good source of calories but offers little in the way of nutrition. In fact, in terms of its phytic acid content, wheat germ is functionally an anti-nutrient because it impairs bodily absorption of iron, zinc and calcium.

And while bread can be included in a healthy diet, few people in the western world are suffering from a lack of dietary calories. For anyone who is currently consuming more calories than they need, bread has no nutritional upside.


I'm happy as the author that it's still seeing some good use :)


Personally (on desktop) this design strains my eyes. I want to look in the center where there's nothing to grasp, and there's the official statement, black banner, time boxes, time zone titles in highly varying colors/fonts competing with each other. Also I notice the page auto-refreshing in the background.


As a side note, the forums aren't the best place for that; the post could just be unseen by the people that matter. The appropriate channels are through Feedback Assistant and/or a technical support report (https://developer.apple.com/support/technical/) which has bit more visibility.


For things vaguely like this, the places I've worked had contacts within the company helping us to varying degrees. Apply was not one of these companies, and unless there's money or contracts are being signed, getting that contact is a challenge.


Sure, but for clarification the channels I noted are if you are any registered developer and don't have close contact.


Or Else the best place these days seems to be Twitter and getting other developers support.


Second this, you get two free Technical Support Incident requests per year as a registered developer, and you can purchase additional ones. We regularly file such requests and have always got timely and helpful responses.


As someone that's written a game "cheating" tool there's good technical / reverse engineering value from modding or cheating games. Plus it's fun to just be able to change a game (I fondly remember the days playing with Game Genie).

It is indeed a bit immoral when one tries to cheat in a way that unfairly puts themselves ahead of other humans.


This website needs to scale text better on mobile (on an iPhone) so it's not hard to read. Especially for a post advocating on using vanilla HTML and how nice and powerful it is.

I don't think I particularly disagree with any of the post, but I found it a little long-winded.


Catering to energy limited, heat dissipation limited, UI size and precision limited, and network limited (random rtt) smart phones is why the web has become as bad as it has.


Not really. With a little bit of effort, it’s quite possible to make websites that work on mobile devices as well a desktops.


Keep in mind it's likely easy to buy orange juice high in added sugar and sweeteners, which yes, isn't that healthy.
