> Every idea for a feature starts out with an imaginary deficit of -100 points. That means it has to demonstrate a significant net-positive effect on the product as a whole in order to emerge as being truly worthy of consideration.
- herbst 10y agoThat is actually pretty interesting, thanks for linking! I still dont understand how this was not "fixed" years ago, sure some config windows have fixed widths because it makes sense, but something as a terminal obviously needs the ability to grow (or shrink), especially after they introduced sticky windows and people actually used "tiling"
- to3m 10y agoThe idea that the console screen is an MxN matrix is pretty embedded in the API... it's not a MDA display adapter metaphor, not a Unix-style typewriter. I'm guessing they just felt they had bigger fish to fry. (Everybody I know that uses the console window a lot has always just set the window to 120x9999 or 160x9999 or whatever and forgotten about it. It's one of those things that's obviously kind of lame, but after a while you just forget about it.)
