Don't let this list intimidate you, Vim allows you to learn at your own pace, I was mashing h,j,k, and l for years before I learned the beauty of grouping movements (e.g., 12j instead of j 12 times). I try to learn one new thing a week

The nest learns how long it takes to heat your house so if you wake up at roughly the same time every day it will start heating the house 30 minutes before you wake up. e.g., you always wake up at 6am on mon-fri and it takes 30 mins to heat

I don't think Mozilla cares about the file size anymore. 10 years ago they cared about the file size of Firefox, the mandate was that it could not be greater than ~5mb, the stable download is now almost 6 times that size.

I found it usable for 90% of the use cases but that last 10% is incredibly frustrating. It's been a long time since I've used Office so I can't conjure up an example but I remember trying to do something with tables that was

Timing form completion also rejects legitimate users that have form filling extensions (e.g., LastPass, 1Password, Roboform, etc.) In my experience hidden form fields were only marginally effective, a lot of bots run headless browsers capab

It used to be the case that a lot of their validation was also client side. E.g., the title section of your profile had an arbitrary length size in the input box but not their database, which was an unrestricted VARCHAR (or equivalent), if

I'm assuming the title got rewritten? It is probably important to note: "ack versions 2.00 to 2.11_02 are susceptible to a code execution exploit. Please upgrade to 2.12 or higher ASAP."

PCI compliance requires we change our login passwords every two months. This to me seems to just encourage users to create insecure passwords and sticky notes with them written down somewhere in/on their desk.

Agreed, the ability to ^z out of the the editor into the shell to quickly run a command is a killer feature for me. True colors or a slicker ui would be nice but they're not critical to my work.

And if you ever look at a large parking lot after a thaw when it had been snowing earlier in the day you can see we're also horrible at predicting where the lines are and, for the most part, use other drivers as our guide.
