I'm in the opposite camp from you — I like generics, lack of null, and syntax highlighting — but that's fine! I don't think this is something we have to 'agree' or 'disagree' with. It simply means that you

I agree — I prefer the old colour picker, too. Not only is it more functional, but it's the standard colour picker! If you've used any other Windows program that uses it, even if it was Paint in Windows 95, you already know how

I think your comment about scalability is accurate. Small apps become big apps, and small user bases get bigger. I’ve seen it happen — but I’m not going to think about scaling to thousands of users when I just need a small application to sh

I think this is what you’re asking for with your last sentence, but I’m not sure so I’ll say it anyway: My main gripe with Java’s checked exceptions is that there’s no way to bubble up a checked exception from inside a functional interface,

I haven’t used Crystal, but wouldn’t that cause some parsing ambiguities? `a %- b` would clash with `a % -b`.

I’m not sure, but for what it’s worth, I’ve got “Automatically adjust brightness” unchecked in System Preferences. So either it’s just ignoring that option, or it’s using some secondary light sensor.

Your tip only works for _decreasing_ the volume. If it’s turned all the way down, and you want to turn it up, you can’t tap-and-drag it because the fingerprint sensor gets in the way.
