  4. Ask HN: Apple Notes has jumped the shark, what should I replace it with?

    Apple continues to lose the plot with regard to user interface, e.g., making right-swipe-from-edge increase an indent instead of go back, and making all monospaced text low-contrast with an absurd gray background.…

  13. Ask HN: How do you about buying a home solar system?

  16. Show HN: Group directories first with modified macOS `ls` (github.com)

    I finally got tired of not having directories first on macOS, and something like exa <https://the.exa.website/> seemed overkill. So I dug into the source code, hunted down the missing BSD-licensed headers, figured out…

  25. Ask HN: Why does macOS assume PC and PS/2 RTF encodings came from NeXT machines?

    According to the RTF specification, \pc and \pca encodings specify the IBM 437 and IBM 850 code pages, respectively. However, TextEdit and Pages both use the NeXT character set when rendering such files.…
