One thing that OS/2 did right IMO, using right mouse button for drag/drop. It's (or was) terrible in windows when you accidentaly in "Program Files".

+1 We want an improved W2K... Linux is probably the best way to get it (with many tweaks... start by not using Gnome).

Exactly... DB deciding to switch query plans in production is sometimes terrible.

Yes, but the "sorting" feature will break.

ISO8601 date format will have Y10K bug.

It would be better to use Rust+Servo (no JS, or at least optional) IMO

the thing obviously should be called: WYWY

At least it should perform validation and reject the NFD form and force the client to normalize to NFC?

Nulls are easy compared to invalid non-null pointers.

+1 ... needed at least as an option where FK is not declared

Next time also mention that it might be a problem to get a consistent back of microservices...

Also, using browser as UI should not mean downloading JS ever.

Time to fork and start removing features.

I wish they didn't add SELECTION back... https://wiki.gnome.org/Initiatives/Wayland/PrimarySelection But I'll never accept client side decorations.

Same interface? Or two interfaces with the same method signature?

This is a big problem for cyclists and especially e-scooters because they can match speeds much closer to a car approaching the intersection whilst remaining hidden behind the A-pillar.

I've seen Android now has Safe Folder with extra pin (haven't looked too deep). But (short) pin probably isn't enough, because that means the key is still on the phone.. I'd want an extra password.

+1 For an interactive application it's an absolute nightmare when you don't have read-your-own-writes support (including synchronization for "indexes"). Async background updates aren't always appropriate or easy to

They must not have cyclists in Italy... I drive on a twisty road like that often, and I'd collect a cyclist every month if I did that.

In Slovenia/ex-Yu we had a very similiar (but bigger) 3 phase (400V) plug/socket like that ( https://www.plugsocketmuseum.nl/Obsolete_3hd.html #9,10). You can still find it in old houses. One probably could force

There's still a memory tradeoff, some due to GC, some due to Java (lots of runtime reflection...). Guessing 2-4x.

Yes, but only for things you give access to (data files, internet)... sandboxing by default, it should not be able to do anything except consume CPU (memory needs to be limited also, which might be an issue in practice).

Well, switch to LFP is in progress right now to reduce battery fires.

Even if macros are good, they can be overused (like C++ template metaprogramming).

Also needed is string concatenation. One line strings are very limiting.

Some even start with a programming language and pretend it's declarative... IMO, it's only declarative when it's a data model which is easily parsed by multiple languages/systems where it's needed.

For a while Firefox ESR was the only one still supporting digital certificate request/generation (KEYGEN). My (not in Japan) and other banks used this as one securiy mechanism. With new EU rules they've now downgraded their securi

All those can be limited, because thankfully JS is not multithreaded (otherwise you could do busy-loop timing).

Disable JS by default.
