I just tested coolors out using a screen capture of Spotify desktop on MacOS and it didn't pickup the green color. I guess it's only picking out dominant colors

Colormind picked the green color on all attempts

Edit: after several more attempts coolors started picking up the green color

This is great

Some of the active verbs are also commands that automatically close/reference issues right out of the box on GitHub & BitBucket (& I'm sure on GitLab too)


The creator of Inferno joined the React team a while back. Performace wise, I'm sure some of that Inferno magic will be there


There's an iOS accessibility engineer who's blind [1]. It's amazing how dedicated they are on accessibility features

There's also a blind Android accessibility engineer at Google.

The differences probably come more from the splintered android landscape and Apple's stricter review process.

Source: met him


I don't think the review process matters because their plenty of apps that don't support voice over at all on ios. I think it comes down to apple supporting it much earlier and advocating for it. More blind people started using iOS and then support for apps started getting better.


A major difference (that the review process could influence) is that iOS apps seem to be pushed toward using native controls whenever possible (or abstraction libraries atop those controls), where Android tends to have a lot of custom controls. The native OS controls have very good accessibility, so the average iOS app (which leans heavily on native controls) should be more accessible than the average Android app (which doesn't.)


> Unfortunately for my screen-doodling habit, new MacBooks have some kind of coating (AR? Oleophobic?) that causes the marker's fluid to bead up, ruining the effect.

I can confirm, my mid 2014 MBP screen is _ruined_. Tried alcohol, screen wipers (which actually made it worse)

I am this close to using a detergent (I know I shouldn't). Any suggestions?


'Staingate'

Apple is replacing the affected screens for free, I had mine replaced few months back (late 2013, 13" Retnina Macbook Pro).

Not sure why people are downvoting your comment. It's a real issue you are trying to help.

I had mine replaced for free a few months back as well :)


Why is this being downvoted? Is it incorrect? If not it seems useful.


Staingate is a real thing and @achow's comment is correct and is very useful and that's probably what is happening with @component's mbp.


Sadly, yes it is "staingate"

Did a bit more digging and found a site [1] which has a gallery of affected MBP, showing the different levels of "staingate"

Adding on the issue of refresh; I usually access HN on my iPhone - currently every back action triggers a _refresh_. A great example of back action handing is Reddit's mobile page.

Other than that the whole thing looks really neat.


Zeit team is amazing, thier OSS is examplary; what they've achieved/ing in relatively short time is astounding. I highly recommend their blog [1], an absolute joy to read.

Congrats to the team and all the contributors.

Nope, only FaceTime had the ability to show native call interface.

Previously, WhatsApp showed you a notification when you get an incoming call (if app closed / minimized).

Seems iOS 10 is allowing apps to take over the screen for calls (just like they did on iOS 9 with reply via notification which was only available on iMessage)


> Google has a lot of core things going for it which are no longer the search-market

Google still makes most (~90%) of its revenue from search.

All the other products need to be[come] succusful for them to be considered alternatives for revenue.


> Google still makes most (~90%) of its revenue from search.

No, it makes about that much from advertising, but "Google websites" -- mostly, but not only, search -- are only 71.3% of Google revenue.

They don't break it down, but I am guess profit margin for search is much higher than things like youtube since with youtube they need to send some money to copyright holders. I wonder how profitable it is? If it was super profitable they would be breaking it down. When AWS started doing well Amazon broke down how much AWS was making.


Maybe those other products are there to make sure that search stays relevant?
