Ask HN: What are the technical justifications for keeping .DS_Store?
45 by kaptain | 19 comments on Hacker News.
I was hoping that with macos 11 we would see the deprecation of .DS_Store. I'm not running the beta so perhaps it is, but what has surprised me is its sustained longevity. What are the technical reasons for keeping .DS_Store? It is essentially a application-specific (i.e. Mac Finder) solution that pollutes the data store. Off the top of my head I can think of a number of other solutions to store directory metadata: a Finder-specific database mapping values to directory paths, resource forks (ala OS 9), etc.

New top story on Hacker News: Ask HN: How do you read long PDFs?

Ask HN: How do you read long PDFs?
22 by jvilalta | 21 comments on Hacker News.
I tend to prefer to read PDF files on a regular monitor, but moving up and down a page is wonky and most readers don't save your place on the document. Also, sometimes the font is too small when you fit to page and fit to width suffers from paging up and down that doesn't take into account the last visible line. I'd like to hear what you do to read long PDF files, like one of the Springer textbooks. Do you use any readers that support bookmarking and/or note taking and sane pagination? I'm wondering if there is a reader that offers an experience comparable to the experience of reading an ebook on a device like a kindle.
