This is one thing I love about macOS: always a menu bar, always just one, in a consistent predictable place where Fitt's law makes it easy to access.

That would've been a much better argument when we were rocking 640x480 screens. 15 pixels out of 1,920 is hardly a sacrifice for the added utility.

Extremes are usually wrong. Skeumorphism and flat design are both user hostile; Windows 95 is a very good compromise between the two.

How is Winamp not on this list?!

Not without the key, which in the panic situation of a fire, I wouldn't want to spend time searching for!

Here in the UK, my mother locks her front door at night, even though she's in a relatively low-crime area (albeit, technically a 'city'). When I stay, it scares the life out of me; I worry about waking up to a fire and being stuck in the house!

I have a Mac and every time I've tried it, it's been fraught with problems. I think it worked once; maybe I'll go back and see if I have more luck now <shrug>

Even some of us internet nerds are Nintendo fans who wouldn't go anywhere near emulating. Apart from any of the moral concerns, it's just such a worse experience: I want to use a touch screen, a portable device, a proper gamepad, etc. Nintendo has built up quite a considerable amount of goodwill since the 1980s, and the reward for that is a pretty loyal customer base.

So does this!

Why doesn't Steam's rating system work to filter out the crap? Does this problem only exist for new games, are the ratings being gamed, or is something else going on?

He doesn't like Hacker News.

Warning: it persists somehow, so you can't click on a link from HN, realise the problem, then copy+paste to correct it. Looks like you need to open an incognito window, use a different browser, or maybe otherwise clear your session.

On all browsers? I can't see what you're referring to on Chrome, macOS.

What confused me most about this is that the entire site is, apparently, a single page (there's no sitemap that I can use to verify this; there IS an RSS file which appears to confirm it) containing all posts. Links at the top (headed "Table of Contents") are all in-page links.

At first, I assumed this was a single blog post, especially with a "Table of Contents" at the top. I guess it's following some old-school blogging conventions, but AFAICR, even those sites retained individual pages for separate posts.
