And yet copying multiple large files from or to the same disk grinds the throughput to a halt on Windows where Finder keeps up close to theoretical bandwidth in sum.

Even independent of tariffs, FedEx likes to send stuff to debt collectors and not apply reasonable processes. We had paid a customs bill at the door and the driver never filed it in the system. I have a receipt and after 4 “reminders” and fighting them, with that receipt attached they still sent it to collection. FedEx doesn’t care. Talked to the debt collector and they dropped it, and said: we will check why they don’t have their shit together (transliterated). And this is in Germany.

It could help in the sense that people would not accept a pile of `fix`, `fix of fix` commits in a PR anymore.

The current UIs don't punish you for that as the reviewer mostly sees one final coherent change.

Not the same. ME also came out around 2000 but was based on windows 9x, windows 2000 was based on NT. The UI looked somewhat similar with those two.

Yes.

I think the use case would be limited to a handful of users (slight hyperbole).

The average user is content enough with using plain PowerPoint and won’t bother with Markdown. People using Markdown are more on the “you’re doing it wrong, put the basics on the slide” side.

The people that make nice backgrounds for their talk, sometimes with a word or two, won’t get there with a text based tool either.

People that use LaTeX, markdown or some other text to slides tool are few and far between.

For completeness, it does say “one month, one year or forever” in the linked FAQ and makes clear it’s not recurring. GP rephrased the FAQ.

I’ve noticed that too when the scroll back buffer is particularly long. iTerm seems to then reflow from the beginning, which can take a while.

I keep using a lot of fresh tabs all the time and iTerm resizes instantly via Rectangle for me.

Ghostty was a bit more sluggish in resizing on an Intel Mac than iTerm in the current latest versions.

It does, natively.

I buy flight and other tickets on the phone all the time. Autofill for CC details, quick access to PayPal and other things are all there. One swipe away.

Transport and booking apps (Airbnb, etc) are all pretty decent and similar to the speed on a laptop. But I can do that while walking the dog, while on the bus, and many other situations where I’m not at a proper computer.

Elder millennial (1982), so it’s not just a young people thing.

Usually they don’t beep on lane changes when you use the indicators before switching.

The lights in the side mirrors are also not removing the obligation to check your blind spot.

Both help, but don’t take away your responsibility as driver.

Goland / the Go plugin is great though.

For auch a “heavy” IDE it’s also surprisingly responsive.
