It's weird to me that Apple is sunsetting Macs made as recently as 2017. If you are buying a new Mac to stay on the latest and greatest software, please don't landfill your current Mac. Donate it to a FreeGeek or similar organization. An "unsupported Mac" can continue as a valued computer running Linux for many more years beyond "the sunset".

Good job, Dang. You decided to evade a benign redirect to google.com we added to protect our developers. Now everyone who has ever submitted to Hacker News gets to see this banner on our website until they clear their browser history and stop contributing to HN.

So I was wondering why my Hacker News block didn't work any more.
Lovely to know that instead of fixing their community going down the drain and outright hosting harassment and abuse that goes unchecked, they decided to just evade our block.
EDIT: WAIT, THEY ADDED IT JUST FOR US. IT'S JUST ON ASAHILINUX LINKS
OMFG.
Keep in mind other people have been blocking them for ages, by doing things like redirecting to pictures of testicles, and they didn't care. We just redirected to google.com. Yet, apparently, being blocked by us was insult enough to... evade the block instead of doing a little self-reflection.
Fuck you, HN.

I hope some day we can understand the incredible amount of science that dogs go through when selecting the proper spot to do their business. There must be contemplations of magnetic north, the position of stars, what the neighbor dog has for dinner 2 days ago, and the position of the sun in the sky. As i think about it, it’s really is amazing they can pick a spot at all.

It's great to see real (3D) Offscreen Canvas slated for Safari 17 after the absolute clusterfuck that was the 16.4 mess, but it's we shouldn't over-index on gratitude.
Cowboy-catchup is the flip side of the same immature software development practices that have left many sites dealing with show-stopping bugs for months, over and over and over, across the past decade.
A faster ship cycle is good, but competition is the real fix. The #AppleBrowserBan can't be allowed to continue.

I'm so excited to share that my book, HOW INFRASTRUCTURE WORKS: INSIDE THE SYSTEMS THAT SHAPE THE WORLD, will be out on October 17th of this year, on Riverhead Books. It's about the globe-spanning systems we've built to meet our needs: what systems like electricity, water, transportations and telecommunications have in common, how they work, and what needs to change to make them resilient, functional and equitable.
You can preorder it now at:
