   Tangential: I'd actually like a protocol that allows a way for external programs to ask shells to change its directory at their exit. I wonder if there are ant security concerns to this.

   This is likely an ad but what makes a good gym attire? Why would I want to wear a hoodie when I'd like sweat to evaporate? And is it better to wear shorts or full length tracks? Cotton or synthetic?

   I don't know the terms but surely there are enough parties willing to pay them- MS would love to shoot with gun on fx shoulders. The engineering effort required to implement this feature is better spent in doing useful things.

   Maybe firefox should also install ublock origin by default? This isn't just for some power users- it will increase their share among regular people whose pages will load even faster making Firefox popular. Or are they waiting until the

   Today is your lucky day. There is a Firefox add on called temp container (or temporary container) that is built on top of "regular" containers that does EXACTLY what you want.

   Can you 'root' them to do your bidding? For 5usd they don't sound bad.

   Is there a similar site that makes memorable passwords but long? (basically I get entropy and can remember if needed). I use keepasaxc which doesn't have this.

    What the actual hell. Who even remembers the key? And more importantly why? Why would you install XP once a week to remember it? I'm shocked by this subthread!

    Thanks for the detailed answer :). You talked very nicely about the dev front - can I also ask how the Said languages fared at runtime?

    Can I ask what you compare it with when you say amazing? I too liked it a lot but don't know what the state of the art is elsewhere. Pardon me for wading through your history but you seem to have used Buckle script too- and claim that

    > quite the essay Our lucky day :) Was there a reason you didn't go the Haskell -> Js route? Less mature but benefits of keeping the same language would have trumped the downsides? Besides compilation speed you mentioned... I&#x2

    What is peoples experience with bucklescript and reasonML? How are the platforms, libraries and future direction?

    Sincere question- assuming that '7 minute workout' is an HIIT - what kind of warm up does something like that require and how long? I want to do the 7 minute workout but I'm worried it needs a warm up.

    When I choose to live in, say, Shanghai- it doesn't automatically reduce my cost of living. I'm losing the security of clean drinking water so bottled water costs me- ~30$ per month. I'm giving up on social security but need

    Would you mind pointing to a good resource with a brief write up on the state of the art of good UI, as you pointed in your first comment? I'd also like to read up on the shadow stuff a bit, on how to do it right.

    I bet the last two aren't mutually exclusive... (i'm not a UI expert either)

    I think he only got the name wrong- he was right about what caused Win UI to "just work" and in general about how the shadow stuff is useful

    Thanks for the blog post and the detailing of your thought process- I learned a lot . Fwiw- I 99% agree with try redesign (except that there are too many tabs and can't put a finger why but feel that the color changes was a negative ch

    Even if he is wrong about the literal meaning of skeumorphism- he very well pointed out what was right about the windows UI. And I think his intension with the charged statement was to convey the meaning that people talk without knowing wha

    Thank you for going into detail- I was pretty sure it was UI and you pinpointed what. Could you point me to some reading on shadow stuff please?

    I will make a separate submission but since a lot of security minded people here- I want to ask- how does everybody manage their pins? I tend to forget them but password manager seems like an overkill.

    Thanks. I'd love to see a breakdown of what creates this clarity, like how the OP has for every element type. I know it might seem like an exaggeration but I was physically invigorated by it.

    Can some UI expert chime in what it is about the windows style redesign that makes everything so absolutely clear and easy to find? I can find everything literally at a glance? It's not sexy, quite the opposite but god does it run elec
