Is there a reason reader mode doesn’t work on mobile Safari? (Pinch zooming and horizontal scrolling is painful.)

Do you not understand what the word "limit" means?

Years ago, Apple banned Camera+ for allowing to take a photo with the volume switch (instead of using an onscreen button). It was "too confusing" and against their Human Interface Guidelines. Then they added that exact feature to the default iOS camera app.

24 was perhaps a bad number to choose, since I read that as 24 hours - which seemed a bit hasty. They could have written "November 9, 2022" or "two years" which seems further into the future.

Or it backfires when people realize their newly purchased, expensive car doesn't do what they thought it could do. Tesla is not managing expectations well.

Maybe people are only just now starting to see Apple's intentions of locking down their system. I remember it being a bad omen a few releases back when i found i could no longer (easily) delete the Chess.app.

This was the one of the wonderful bit of insights from the suprisingly deep and insightful show "Bojack Horseman". Basically, there is is no such thing as "deep down inside i'm a good person". You are your actions.

I feel your pain. But ideally, once the PR code is merged, the end result should be solid code. Anything you write at a hackathon is fake/barely-functional throwaway code that only exists for the demo at the end. There's no architecture, no error checking, and just no time for anything elegant or any real insight into your problem space.

As someone who still uses a `birthdays.txt` file in their home directory... i fail to see any advantage to this setup. And a significant disadvantage would be losing the ability to tab-complete the note names.

I've heard the same rule with film editing. The editing is never done, you just run out of time.

Berlin has 431k street trees. Toronto has 11 million trees (including presumably ravines and natural areas) - and I'm sure other cities have similar amounts. Why do you think Berlin has the most trees?
