I applaud their restraint. Me, I would've been compelled to title it, "Kniterate Knotes".

I used to live near a town called "Knik" which all the locals pronounced with a hard "K" like "Kuh-nick". It launched a terrible habit of intentionally pronouncing silent K on all words, which was way more fun that it should have been. I started using all sorts of phrases just so I could pronounce the hard K, like "Don't get your kuh-nickers in a twist". I also started using a handle of "The Knight of Knik" which I of course pronounced as "The Kuh-nite of Kuh-nik", which then I shortened to "The Knik Knight" (pronounced "Kuh-nik Kuh-night"). I likewise applaud the author's restraint.

When I saw the article (which, for some reason, I had no trouble finding) I felt the same way, but then remembered I could adjust the font size myself with a few keystrokes.

| I assume nowadays it's much better...

It's not, but the Linux weenies won't hear of it. Maybe it's a great choice on Linux, but on Windows, it often renders things much worse than stock WMP (both legacy and modern). Videos with a lot of motion play especially poorly.

But, yeah, it opens everything.

What was the reason?

Please always explain what things are. All day long I'm following deep links, and nothing bothers me more than people assuming I have perfect context.

Explain once, and then start the next 10 posts with a simple hyperlink to the explanation.

Bonus: only one place to update when you realize you have explained it wrong.

Ehhh there’s a clear line between giving some important context and recapping the entire history & philosophy of a project. So much blogspam following the recipe pattern of giving your entire life story before getting to the point. No, I don’t need to read five paragraphs about why anyone would choose to use git and why businesses like it for an article aimed at developers.

At least there's a way out of scrollbar madness (at least, for now):

Settings -> Accessibility -> Visual effects -> Always show scrollbars

No such luck for title bars, though, or the general Fisher-Price-ification of Windows overall.

Omg, thank you. Just getting my scrollbar back on the browser makes me so happy!

I feel vaguely vindicated that the agent can't figure out how to use the modern Save as workflow, either, and reverts to the traditional dialog.

| > What actually prevents bugs at scale is boring stuff: type systems...

| Nonsense. The most widely-deployed software with the lowest bug-count is written in C. Type systems could not have done anything to improve that.

C is statically and fairly strongly typed. Hard to tell if you're arguing for or against the statement you're responding to.

Sure, but don't forget to look for posted signs, like:

"In Upper Manhattan, downtown 1 skips 137 St-City College, 125 St, 116 St-Columbia University, Cathedral Pkwy (110 St) and 103 St

    Aug 1 - 4, Fri 9:45 PM to Mon 5:00 AM 

For service to these stations, take the 1 to 96 St and transfer to an uptown 1.

For service from these stations, take the 1 to 168 St and transfer to a downtown 1." [1]

There are often many simultaneous service changes.

It likely doesn't make any money by itself. It's a loss leader to entice companies into its enterprise offerings.

Loss leaders are valuable too. Android is a loss leader that funnels half the world into their exorbitant Google Pay + Play Store ecosystem.
