Looked that up. Doesn't sound quite right. I enjoy working on things. It's just that actually finishing something doesn't contribute to the enjoyment. So, if there's a task that improves the project but doesn't brin

Yeah. I'd love to finish more things. I like that quote. But at the same time, I don't feel the incentive of accomplishment that the article refers to. Finishing something just feels... empty?

Yes. Even though I have literally a hundred notes on my wall for next projects to build. What if I finish the current one, and then finish all of those? Nothing left to do!

Ah. But I don't enjoy finishing certain tasks, I enjoy doing them. So the most potential enjoyment is gained by never finishing. I don't feel any sense of accomplishment when finishing those tasks.

I always just size the windows as needed. Snapping for me is just this annoying non-feature that attempts to be more clever than me and interferes with my flow.

Huh. People actually use window snapping? Interesting. Never seen anyone use it myself.

I find that the strategy of writing for a week or two without compiling works well for me too. At least when the goal is big and clear. Doesn't work with clients who aren't quite sure what their own requirements are, of course. Th

In many parts of the world, certificates are just fancy looking paperwork that you pay for.

It has a ton of programming books in its training data. It only "runs" anything that's close enough to any samples it has seen that included output. Anything complex, and it fails, because it does not reason about it logicall

I meant Wine bugs. Dozens of people submitting working patches, but nothing ever gets applied to release.

I still get mails for bugs that I and dozens of other people already submitted working patches for over a decade ago. Let me know when drawing tablet pen pressure finally works correctly in a released build.

An imaginary power user build of Windows that doesn't include all the builtin cloud nonsense and other useless distractions. And custom themes support instead of forced white menu bars that override the system pallette because some des

I re-watched the iPhone keynote a while ago. One of the key features was that you could browse the web and get the full desktop experience, instead of functionally crippled mobile versions of websites. That went well...

Ah, yes. Program blocks with a dialog to ask if you want to save. Windows puts a giant fullscreen message saying a program is blocking shutdown. And the only way to click the dialog is to abort shutdown altogether. And then when you click d

Nice. A 3D vector display. I wonder if there are any use cases that could benefit from this type of display.

Familiar story. Worse when the group that's wrong on nearly everything gets a cozy position from people in charge, where they can get by with minimum effort.

Hackerone is a joke, anyway. Organizations will just respond with "it's a feature, not a bug" to get out of any bounty. I once reported that you could log on to certain PP accounts with just username and CC number, bypassing
