That's a fun list, but it feels like an odd thing to have its own article on Wikipedia.

Explorer in Windows 11 was overhauled, and its address bar behaviour is now absolute garbage. For example, type a directory path into it and press enter - takes 10 seconds to display the contents of the directory. Auto-complete on the addre

Looks very cool, but absolutely laughable that they tried to sell an environmental angle. I don't say that because it's "actually the opposite" or anything like that - the impact either way will be fuck all.

> There’s nowhere to go and US employers in games are disappearing by the day. It's an apocalyptic picture that's rather at odds with the unions claim that EA is doing fantastically.

Herb Sutter calls this kind of thing "spelling things generically" meaning that the same generic code will compile against different types. In this case the same for loop code will compile against a type that may hold zero or one

I agree. I think there are places in the world where people consider their accent to be 'neutral', but I'm pretty sure no-one from my neck of the woods would think that.

All the accents sound like somebody from... somewhere in the third world...? but with a small trace of the named accent. I don't know if that's intended - maybe the different recordings are not supposed to sound like their label b

The definition of autism has changed to pull in masses more people over the years, so if you're an older software engineer you may be autistic using the up-to-date definition.

I'm not sure taste is a meaningful term in anything other than aesthetics. One argument here was that good taste is about being flexible when picking technical solutions - I don't see how this is "good taste".

Pub bores might make that argument but it doesn't mean it's not what motivates most of the objectors, who may indeed be boring about it in the pub.

This just takes me to the horizontal scrolling list of apps displayed as screenshots of the app. I can swipe from the bottom corner to bring up "Gemini" but that doesn't have an option to OCR the screen. Android is so diverse

Interesting. I screenshot then send to Google Lens which is obviously more of a hassle than what you're describing. But I have gestures enabled and so no home button. I wonder what is the gesture-equivalent of long-pressing on home.

I don't think so. I think it raises peoples' hackles because it is "not something we do here" - English-speaking countries seem to not go with mandatory ID in the same way as continental Europe. Maybe a Napoleonic/C

Don't think I've ever seen traffic wardens referred to as "parking cops" before. Is that a common usage in America?

I see they decided to "challenge our preconceived ideas" about international borders when it comes to Crimea.

What we really need is an article "Which colours dominate bike sheds and why?".

Maybe YouTube consider it unlikely for an adblock user to ever buy premium, so they just try to drive such viewers away instead.

I doubt that.

> "Conclusion - Virtually all of the commenters on YouTube, Reddit, and X" SNIP That's fine and commenters on those sites are entitled to their opinions, but it's strange they didn't mention Hacker News.

IME this is a long-standing thing - failing to include visuals for inherently visual news stories. They're geared towards text news stories for whatever reason.

If you click through to Rhett Schul's (sp?) video you can see examples comparing the original video (from non-Shorts videos) with the sharpened video (from Shorts). Basically YouTube is applying a sharpening filter to "Shorts&quot

Looks similar to the cursive z I learned - I guess in the late 70's/early 80's - in Scotland. It's still in my signature, although that's a right scrawl.
