Because Apple influenced them. They copied Apple’s model because Apple had been getting away with it, and will likely have to comply with whatever new regulations might result from this.

It’s always been this way though, we started using it during the public beta, and the performance has not appeared to improve at all.
I’m very curious with what’s going on here... Microsoft of all companies should have the resources to either make native apps for Windows and Mac, or share some best practices from the VS Code team.
The last concept I hacked together was a custom search plugin for Grav and a command line util to use for querying.
It goes like this.
Use the command line util to search a term. The command line util run that term against the search engine _inside_ of the websites CMS itself. You essentially have a list of sites related to a topic that you chose to execute the query against.
I got this working against some sites and the proof is there. But it’s obviously highly inefficient and I haven’t figured that out yet. :-/

A thing I like to say is that I am proud that I am from Ohio, but I'm also happy I'm not there now.
Well done!
From what I understand, digital downloads from iTunes and the likes are basically just a perpetual license?
It won’t get you new stuff, but if you’re trying to fill your back catalog in, you can’t beat the price of goodwill.
I fully expect that the next great ideas of how to do energy production is going to happen elsewhere, because the US keeps shooting itself in the foot and going "well it's expensive and solar and wind and ..." instead of looking at it as an investment that secures our status and capability well into the future.
They like to say stuff about how we need to fight for our lives over climate change, after that group set nuclear power generation behind by multiple decades at this point.
They like to complain about how it’s too risky, when their public fear mongering have effectively left us with a fleet of reactors for the 1960’s and 1970’s that have outlived their planned lives. And the NRC has no choice but to extend their operating licenses until it becomes too expensive for the utilities to maintain. So they get shut down.
Wouldn’t be surprised to find out that the lot of these talking heads have had their palms greased by the renewable industry.
Eff them all.
Grav is cool, if you need PHP you’re good with flat file.
Off topic, but my most fav CMS of all time is definitely Umbraco. It’s built on .NET, but it’s insanely fun to work on.
Between all three if these CMSes, I cringe when I hear “Wordpress.”
Of course, this wouldn’t be a thing if we had supersonic flight.
And yes, I still hear a lot of resentment about NAFTA, which is strongly associated with the first Clinton administration. No one trusts that family. The people in this region called BS, not because they’re racist and uneducated, but because they feel that they were betrayed before. When the coasts shouted “racists” at them, it made everyone double-down in their position.
Meanwhile, DJT basically steals the Obama-era democratic platform, makes a stop in their little main-street town and promises the impossible.
Someone else might have a different experience, but this is what I saw and heard.

To be clear, midwesterners weren’t voting based on tax policy as you suggest, this was about trust, betrayal and vengeance.
Goddamn. Where did you get that idea from? Clearly you have no idea what you’re talking about.
The problem is that it’s stagnanted over here. NAFTA destroyed the way of life for a lot of mid-westneners. Made people poor. Made want. Destroyed the mechanisms, the entry level, manual jobs, that people used to pull themselves up by.
Municipalities got into a vicious cycle of loss of tax base feeding into loss of services feeding into even more loss of tax base.
For starters, to get an idea of what’s going on over here, I’d recommend you watch both Detropia and Flint Town. Get a little taste of reality and see the people you’re trying to crap on. Everyone here, everyone sees that value and importance of education. Every parent, even in the most down-trodden neighborhoods with the worst schools, wants this for their children. Again, loss of tax base, loss of jobs, increased violence.
Assuming you live on one of the coasts, you’ll get yours. Just wait until the underfunded pension systems finally blow.
Can’t believe I just read such a level idiocy on HN.
I see what you're saying, but I suspect that the oligarchs that actually run the US do not like an armed populace.
I don't live in Detroit, I'm nearby in Toledo.
It's got a loooonnggg way to go (I never realized how many small but vital details are in a file explorer application), but it's strangely exciting to see it draw itself on modern macOS, especially on a retina screen!
And yes, the spatial UX! I'm still working through getting all of that implemented (I just completed persisting window locations/positioning days ago). I have recently been reading theough some of John Siracusa's turn of the Mac OS X era writings and that's been hugely insightful and helpful. The level of detail (both of the original Finder and his writings) is impressive and sirprising.
Very cool UX concepts!
IIRC, you even used to be able to just swap the System folder around and have like a completely new/different install of Mac OS.
The NoSleep Podcast is the only one I've heard that dresses these ads up a bit. Even then, I still pay for the season pass so I don't have to listen to them.
I'm sure there are zippy ways to edit text on iOS, but like you, after using a mouse, hell, even a trackpad, I think it's soooo much quicker using the latter.
