My solution for this is just use the current latest, or latest-1. There’s no reason not to. If your code is somehow stuck with an old version of Go, it should be considered a high priority bug, this is not normal.

Got the same vibe from reading that sentence, reading AI replies on HN is so annoying…

> French person here : no differences, we pronounce them all é and we don't care.

No we don’t, wtf

é and è (as well as e but it goes without saying) are very clearly distinct sounds.


French in lots of regions in France has lost many distinctions in how things are pronounced. Paris french prononounces -en, -an, and -in almost or completely the same, for example.

I suppose you're replying to someone from the area. And it's undoubtedly Parisien to assume that the way they pronounce is how the whole country does it, lol


Insane take, you can’t expect anyone to agree with this.

I don't agree a phone free life is an insane idea at all. It is in fact extremely reasonable, rational, and admirable. The parent makes it sound easier than it is though. You might consider that part "insane".

I have tried really really hard to break the phone addiction too. Though so far without durable success, unfortunately. :-(


(Raises hand) Ummm…

Maybe it's because I went nearly 50 years with no cell phone?

It seems reasonable to shut the phone off—check it through with your luggage.

(One of my favorite travel memories was trying to ask people in Tokyo for directions to my hotel—I speak only English.)


Doesn’t work anymore since Tahoe

Thaw is the fork that has been updated and currently still maintained.

Why are you saying it like it doesn’t suck?

It's a classic case of optimizing the UX for the 20% use case rather than the 80% use case.

Most of the time, people have 2-3 work windows that they just want to swap between quickly, regardless of what "app" they happen belong to. The Windows alt-tab behavior captures that beautifully.


I’ve switched to macOS from Windows 8 years ago and I still find window management completely unusable without AltTab. The thing is, on a French keyboard layout you can’t even use cmd+backtick to switch between windows if the same application, it doesn’t work. Separating cmd+tab and cmd+backtick is moronic, but it’s not even possible if you’re not using a qwerty keyboard.

AltTab and Maccy are the 2 apps I can’t live without on macOS. Rectangle used to be in that list too, but I managed to not need it anymore since Apple introduced native tiling a few versions ago. Now they just need to introduce native clipboard history and sane alt+tab, hopefully this decade.


Native clipboard history was introduced in iOS 26’s new Spotlight.

Wow I follow Apple release notes closely and had no idea, thanks for sharing. Now I need to see it it’s actually enough to replace Maccy :)

macOS 26, of course.

If Liquid Glass is your concern on macOS 26, you really don't even know it's a thing unless you hang out in the control center all day IMO.

> it’s not even possible if you’re not using a qwerty keyboard

Well… it used to be possible.

I was using an AZERTY keyboard in my youth, and was definitely able to switch windows using cmd-< and/or cmd->. (I just tried, it is indeed not possible anymore as per my limited testing, for some reason…)

> Separating cmd+tab and cmd+backtick is moronic

Not for my taste. I like the app-centric worldview. I can understand that not everybody does though.


First thing I do when I install macOS is to set application switching to cmd+tab and to cycle windows inside an application using cmd+§ (that's possible without third-party apps). On a Nordic keyboard § is above tab (perhaps it's same for US keyboards). I use KDE Plasma at home and have it set up the same way.

> On a Nordic keyboard § is above tab (perhaps it's same for US keyboards).

On a US keyboard, the key directly above tab is the grave/tilde key: `~

I didn't know you could swap those shortcuts without a third-party app though, I'll have to try that.


I really hope libghostty succeeds at setting a new baseline for what terminal emulation should be. Seems to be on a right track.

I don’t think I’ve ever even noticed Siri/Apple intelligence on macOS. I’ve disabled it somehow (probably at install) and have not heard about it since

Why does he not want /10 budget for x10 productivity instead? Is he stupid?
