Do you believe that, or do you actually know that because he said it somewhere? If you look at the linux patch[1] it's a case of bad defaults. So maybe Windows just has good defaults? [1] https://git.kernel.org/pub&#x2F

This is the first article that has implied that this historical beer consumption was this high % wise, so I am suspicious of the phrasing "taken to be" that is used all over the place. IDK if this means something specific in the c

When people talk about Twitter dying, they are talking about its relevance. No one means "Twitter.com will redirect to a domain squatter". E.g, despite it being dead since the redesign in 2010, you can still go to digg.com right

I don't think it's fair to say they "mentioned" JS, because that implies they held it in high regard re: the point the article is making. They just used it in a code example. Since that is likely the most common language
