Apple’s bugs

I still enjoy using Apple products and prefer them over alternatives, but in recent years, an increasing number of small bugs has made using them less pleasant. No single bug is fatal, but they add up. I wanted to document them to make it more likely that they will be fixed.

There are two main topics:

Many small unnecessary bugs
Strategy tax

Small unnecessary bugs

Reach UI Philosophy

Reach UI is an accessible foundation for React applications and design systems.

The three equally important goals are to be:

Accessible
Composable
Stylable

None of these suggestions worked for me, because Android was appending a sequence number to the package name to produce the final APK file name (this may vary with the version of Android OS). The following sequence of commands is what worked for me on a non-rooted device:

Determine the package name of the app, e.g. com.example.someapp. Skip this step if you already know the package name.

adb shell pm list packages

Look through the list of package names and try to find a match between the app in question and the package name. This is usually easy, but note that the package name can be completely unrelated to the app name. If you can't recognize the app from the list of package names, try finding the app in Google Play using a browser. The URL for an app in Google Play contains the package name.

Hacker News "hidden" URLs

Many of HN URLs are not easily discoverable as there are no links to them in a prominent part on the page, or sometimes even nowhere. The following is a list of links to standard and "special" HN pages. The ones is bold are the less discoverable ones.
