This is cool, but a little crazy. Why put the whole train on the ferry instead of just offloading the passengers and putting them on the ferry?

It's the same with Apple OS updates. I hardly ever want to update my Apple devices. The odds that such an update will actually improve my UX are indistinguishable from zero nowadays, and the odds that it will break something that I r

Your point is well taken. My guess was that the OP had implementation in mind when they wrote "good voltage sources vary their resistance". Or that might have just been a mistake.
224.
by lisper 1y ago
There are two different ways to produce a voltage source. The first is to put a variable resistor in series with the power source, which you can adjust to control the voltage. This works, but dissipates a lot of heat. The second is to pu

No, that's a fair point. It's not really a product, but given what a huge win it was in terms of power/performance I'd say it qualifies.

"Numbers. A customization may be desired to allow sorting numbers in numeric order. If strings including numbers are merely sorted alphabetically, the string “A-10” comes before the string “A-2”, which is often not desired. This behavi

You are starting to sound like a troll. Yes, unicode has many representations of digits. That has nothing to do with the question of whether 2.jpg should come before or after 10.jpg.
237.
by lisper 1y ago
The issue at hand is how numbers are sorted. That has nothing to do with unicode.
238.
by lisper 1y ago
Obviously. All I'm saying is that this particular decision ought not to have been taken from the user. Real alphabetical order is not an unreasonable thing to want.

Yeah, exactly. The behavior described is actually very useful. The problem is imposing it on the user with no warning or option to turn it off.
