The bundling and unbundling cycle continues.

A new era of productivity tools by Microsoft is needed. All of their current tentpole products are just web versions of their old apps, and most of them are very annoying or slow or just weird. I'm intrigued to see where this leads as they double down on their web-first strategy.

As for the Wave comparisons, it's more of a technical comparison of the Fluid framework and Wave's real-time collaboration data model/editor, right?

I knew I saw this on HN a couple days ago. I figure that's what "inspired" this article, though it doesn't really have any more detail than the tweet thread...

I'll second you, this page is a fantastic resource.

I bought a physical copy when it was released a couple of years ago. I've recommended it a few times; I think it's worth reading for anyone who hasn't spent much time writing actual mathematical software or hasn't had a formal CS education.

Dropbox is great, but their app? Not so much these days. This is absolutely awesome.

Now can someone do this for OneDrive? As bad as we might complain about the new Dropbox app, OneDrive is a giant garbage fire.

I'd take a look at Nest.

Yes, technically it is, but it's the integration that makes it interesting.

Plus theres the simple reality that Microsoft's got native APIs in Windows that enable running a linux vm with a KDE window alongside the standard windows environment. Microsoft has really come a long way and that's what's really amazing and kind of disorienting.

This is amazing on a technical level and a kind of horrifying all at the same time.

While it looks dated, SL has a far more intuitive UI, in my opinion. I don't recall any major issues with this release. It seemed to "just work." Big Sur seems like a toy by comparison.

An anecdote, I still remember installing Snow Leopard on my Polybook; it was the first OS update since switching to a Mac. I received the physical delivery since it was still distributed by disc, so I left my house. I was able to install it a few hours later while waiting on an appointment sitting in the car, all while on battery power! It was like magic.

This is a handy tool, big thanks to the dev who put this together. This is going to be an excellent educational tool. My only suggestion I have is to add links to the docs for the detail page's relevant function.

I used support via iMessage, and the support rep ran me through one reset cycle and basically said "that sucks" and got me set up with a return. This was approximately two weeks ago, so I wonder if their policies are evolving?

I had my left AirPod Pro replaced in the past few weeks. It was straightforward and effortless to get support via iMessage, and I got a replacement in 2 days. It seemed a bit too easy, to be honest, so I figured Apple knows about this issue and is trying to solve it as quietly as possible.

Interesting to see how widespread this issue is.

$66mm initial cost, so just short of a 20 month ROI. That's impressive.
