  • macOS 10.12 Sierra: The Ars Technica review | Ars Technica (arstechnica.com)
    "Here’s how it works (note that any time you see “Mac” below, the feature also works on iDevices running iOS 10):

    Text or some other item is copied on one Mac. The device then advertises over Bluetooth that it has something in its clipboard, just as it would do if it had content available via Handoff. Unlike Handoff, though, there's no visual indicator on other Macs or iDevices that anything is ready to copy.
    Hit paste on the other Mac. There's a pause that accompanies the action—nearly unnoticeable for a snippet of text or a link but long enough to prompt a little progress bar popup for larger images or big chunks of text—during which Mac #2 requests the contents of Mac #1's clipboard, and Mac #1 sends it over.
    Though both of your devices need to be signed in to the same iCloud account to trust each other, your data never appears to touch Apple's servers—like Handoff, all communication is local. This also means that Bluetooth and Wi-Fi have to be enabled on both devices, and both devices need to be within range of each other for copying and pasting to work. You won't necessarily need an active Internet connection."

  • I completely agree with you. There are so many things that infuriate me about re... | Hacker News (news.ycombinator.com)
    "There are so many things that infuriate me about regular sites:
    - Images not having defined heights, leading to content jumping up as I'm reading
    - Ads loading and unloading, leading to the page jittering up and down erratically, making the content unreadable
    - Auto-playing videos: some start playing audio, some have the audio muted but still pause any music I have playing
    - Those ads that scroll up across the page (which wouldn't be a problem, but they scroll at a third of the speed that I drag them up at)
    - The "Read Full Story" buttons that animate the content downwards, freezing everything for a few seconds while the dumb animation plays
    - Web fonts taking an eternity to load, leaving me with no content for ten, fifteen, or more seconds
    - Web fonts loading unexpectedly and causing all the text to reflow, destroying my scroll position

Hi, I'm Aaron Parecki, Director of Identity Standards at Okta, and co-founder of IndieWebCamp. I maintain oauth.net, write and consult about OAuth, and participate in the OAuth Working Group at the IETF. I also help people learn about video production and livestreaming. (detailed bio)

I've been tracking my location since 2008 and I wrote 100 songs in 100 days. I've spoken at conferences around the world about owning your data, OAuth, quantified self, and explained why R is a vowel. Read more.
