I dunno. I'm in the US and I feel that those saying they wouldn't expect to be liable for services they consume beyond free tier limits sound awfully entitled.

I mean, it's a sleazy practice, especially considering how they word their emails, but I wouldn't expect something for nothing just because I hadn't set up a billing mechanism yet.

All mice supported scrolling. In the before times, you use the mouse to drag the scroll thumb, which was located on the scrollbar. And you'd drag it down to see information further "down" in the document.

I applaud their restraint. Me, I would've been compelled to title it, "Kniterate Knotes".

When I saw the article (which, for some reason, I had no trouble finding) I felt the same way, but then remembered I could adjust the font size myself with a few keystrokes.

| I assume nowadays it's much better...

It's not, but the Linux weenies won't hear of it. Maybe it's a great choice on Linux, but on Windows, it often renders things much worse than stock WMP (both legacy and modern). Videos with a lot of motion play especially poorly.

But, yeah, it opens everything.

Please always explain what things are. All day long I'm following deep links, and nothing bothers me more than people assuming I have perfect context.

At least there's a way out of scrollbar madness (at least, for now):

Settings -> Accessibility -> Visual effects -> Always show scrollbars

No such luck for title bars, though, or the general Fisher-Price-ification of Windows overall.

I feel vaguely vindicated that the agent can't figure out how to use the modern Save as workflow, either, and reverts to the traditional dialog.

| > What actually prevents bugs at scale is boring stuff: type systems...

| Nonsense. The most widely-deployed software with the lowest bug-count is written in C. Type systems could not have done anything to improve that.

C is statically and fairly strongly typed. Hard to tell if you're arguing for or against the statement you're responding to.

Sure, but don't forget to look for posted signs, like:

"In Upper Manhattan, downtown 1 skips 137 St-City College, 125 St, 116 St-Columbia University, Cathedral Pkwy (110 St) and 103 St

    Aug 1 - 4, Fri 9:45 PM to Mon 5:00 AM 
For service to these stations, take the 1 to 96 St and transfer to an uptown 1.

For service from these stations, take the 1 to 168 St and transfer to a downtown 1." [1]

There are often many simultaneous service changes.

It likely doesn't make any money by itself. It's a loss leader to entice companies into its enterprise offerings.

"Wanda, do you have any idea what it's like being English? Being so correct all the time, being so stifled by this dread of, of doing the wrong thing, of saying to someone 'Are you married?' and hearing 'My wife left me this morning,' or saying, uh, 'Do you have children?' and being told they all burned to death on Wednesday."

| I don't know what the legal definition of Enemies is, but I would imagine it would involve a declaration of war.

These days, some vague tattoos will do it.

So far, it's no HAL 9000.

Uploaded video dialog:

Bowman: You know, of course, though, he's right about the 9000 series having a perfect operational record. They do.

Poole: Unfortunately that sounds a little like famous last words.

Bowman: Yeah, still it was his idea to carry out the failure mode analysis, wasn't it?

Poole: mmm

Bowman: Should certainly indicate... (away from camera): his integrity and self-confidence

Bowman: If he were wrong, it'd be the surest way of proving it.

Poole: It would be if he knew he was wrong.

Results:

"Of course there is recommended getting necessary to have a perfect operational rank i know youre going to be the first to do that youre going to get the best youre going to get the best youre going to get the best youre going to get the best youre going to get the best of yours if you want to rock better sure its well perfect."

The post doesn't explain how the niches themselves come into being, so an equally logical assumption could be that creating a person also creates a new niche, and their task is simply to find the right one. No new person, no niche.

A less rigorous explanation, but probably more to the author's point, is that people who end up filling the wrong niche add more negativity to the world than those who find their place. This is a worse state of affairs than leaving some niches unfilled.

Common term in North America for elementary (usually ages 5-12) and secondary (age 13-18) education. What do you call it where you live?
