It's fine, though it isn't the norm, presumably because authors fear their work might be taken less seriously; but if the content of the paper is good, it's fine to add a little character, or flourish. Some amusing titles fall into a similar category.

I've been using this for a few days now, and while I love the speed, I have experienced a couple of glitches with the file list e.g. duplicate files/folders shown, files missing, especially after doing a bunch of move/copy operations. I would have expected hitting F5 to refresh the view but I had to close the application and open again (blazingly fast) to get a fresh view of the folder's contents. It happened in side-by-side view, if relevant. Presumably some bug in the caching mechanism, at the very least I would force F5/refresh to do a fresh query of the current folders' contents and display correctly.

> How many under 16s read newspapers or watch news anyway?

Adults do, and the OP's argument is that everyone (not just U16's) will be driven away by the changes. Being asked to provide ID may result in some just noping out or not signing up to newer services when they otherwise might have.

Really? The headings look mediaeval

This is a lazy take.

What do you mean when you say it doesn't "work"? You click the windows icon and nothing comes up? It displays but nothing is clickable? On 2 different machines? Really? This seems like hyperbole. It sounds like there's a specific feature that doesn't work for you as it used to, but instead of describing the issue you've thrown up your hands and declared it to not work. If it truly does not open or respond to clicks I'd love to know about it and retract this comment!

I like GitKraken, except for the fact that it lacks the ability to show first parent only, i.e. `git log --first-parent`. That feature is available in Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code (Git Graph extension), but I don't like these as much as GitKraken, so I end up switching between command line, GitKraken and VS/Code. It's a bit of a mess. Does Fork support `--first-parent`? It's especially hand in merge-heavy workflows with very noodly graphs that you want to simplify.

I clicked around a couple of links within that site and it looks like an absolute dog's breakfast on my mobile.

What? No they don't!

I use olauncher which has a super minimalist home screen. It doesn't block apps but it doesn't use icons. Instead you type the name of the app you want which I find makes me more purposeful with my phone usage. Turning off notifications for virtually every app also helps. If it's truly important I'll check it. Otherwise it's something I can look at once a day/week/month depending on the app.

> This day and age, the knowledge is at our fingertips.

I don't feel this way at all. I don't know how to access information about products that I know to be unbiased. I can certainly find comparison websites and blog posts, some of which I'm sure are unbiased, but it's not clear to be how to reliably ascertain which is which.

What on earth are you on about. I just built some classifiers to run in industrial settings, why is it my job to do or say anything about Taylor Swift deepfakes.

Condescending as shit.

That's a rather daft take.

I'm confused. The original article is in favour of typed languages. Aren't you in agreement?
