I always wondered how much of apple’s touch input/GestureRecognizer and related ideas came out of this acquisition. CoreAnimation and input have kept me on iOS. I hope the computer history museum can get an oral history from the people who worked on these one day.

Even developing bog standard apps. MacOS without FDA is the death of creativity and productivity.

The permissions/security model should've expanded faster. There's huge benefits to being able to install arbitrary software and not worry about giving it access to everything.

But it would never cover everything to do with a computer.

"Full Disk Access largely sidesteps these controls in order to allow backup apps to function properly on the Mac"

Huh? Seems like a disingenuous statement. I hope they update that sentence with something more accurate.

However, I've wanted much more granularity and pervasive permissions so I'm glad they're adding them.

I was wondering if there’s something different about the escalator manufacturer or design. Like longer landing areas or boarding area with extended hand rails. If you had any familiarity with them.

LA: 0.46 meters/s (1 mph)

Hong Kong: 0.75 meters/s (1.7 mph)

Kyiv: 0.9 meters/s (2 mph)

Kinda slower than I expected in general. I assume the speed is mostly dictated by boarding/alighting safety.

Your other photos are always very pleasant to look at too. Thank you for sharing them.

Are there other photo types you've thought about taking? (I don't know very much about the topic. Rocket launches? Cruise ships? 360/Cylindrical line scan sweeps?)

I assume the train rails and constant motion are part of the appeal of making trains the subject. I can't exactly think of parallels, maybe a factory assembly line.

I think I was trying to bring up the mechanics of the forum as another reason.

Between the guidelines + user thoughts (e.g. repetition, low novelty/new info), there's other reasons these types of replies might end up dead.

I am worried that it leads to people self selecting to other forums biasing the remaining userbase vote/vouch/flag distributions. In an exit vs voice situation, the voice kinda dies out. Then we end up other-izing people and homogenizing our communities.

But I concede it's also possible that the minority opinion issue could be the core driving force.

Thank you for your perspective and I agree as repetitive as it is, I hope hn can continue to surface disagreement/substantial views on a topic.

These comments don't stay up much anymore and I can't tell if it's structural to the forum (flag weight + statistical mechanics of votes + guidelines) or if it's the userbase sentiment.

Hmm.. anything else?
