I would agree that it supports your point. Proves it? no.

search that actually works.

It baffles me that I can't search someone by firstname lastname and have our messages thread come up 100% reliably.

Sure it works some of the time, but not for older threads.

Im ok with waiting 10 seconds as long as it returns the results I know are there. I am forced to go to Contacts and find the person, then click the new message button linking into messages.

Contacts app has a similar issue. I have < 1000 contacts, yet I can't search reliably for a contact I know is there by first / last name. I have to scroll through the list of all my contacts to get to it.

Maybe this is a bug, but its been an issue for me for years.

Games built on Unreal 4 in the last couple of years look way better than that 2012 UE4 demo. The first few years of games on UE5 might not look like the UE5 demo today, but in a few years they will catch up.

A lot of farmers live many miles away from the properties they farm in. Modern farming is very different in America than it was 100+ years ago.

This is such a cynical viewpoint. I could frame most corporate software this way.

Exactly. When people are motivated to work together, even poor communication tools are adequate. But these are excellent communication tools.

The color design of their iOS application is also terrible.

So many elements in the navigation UX are a similar color.

The worst is the Current route (light blue) and alternate routes (grey). Both of these colors are fairly similar and have very little contrast compared to the background. I have a hard time picking out the difference between a road (grey) and an alternate route (grey, slightly thicker line).

At night, when it switches to a dark color scheme, everything is a shade of dark blueish grey, with very little contrast.

IRV picking up steam might also have negative effects towards people's general opinion of alternative voting systems once they see all the strange outcomes it can have.

But I think that the positives attention around it brings outweigh the negatives. The first (recent) overhaul to a voting system is more difficult than subsequent changes.

Using your logic, doesn't the ability to social engineer access to a password make passwords less than 1 FA as well?

What version of MacOS do you use?

I use High Sierra with 3 external displays, and my windows are almost always in different places when I unplug, plug back in. All monitors are the same model (this might make a difference), but I always plug them into the same port they were connected to previously.

One hypothesis I have is the order I unplug / plug in the monitors matters.

Edit: after some quick testing, I can't seem to reproduce any issues while just briefly leaving my monitors unplugged.

The issue I notice the most is that windows get put back on the wrong monitor. e.g. window A from monitor 1 is now on monitor 2 and window B from monitor 2 is now on monitor 1.

I agree with the parent comment that the twitter logos are much better than the ones currently on the website.

Overall, I think the website design is very good. The barrier to entry is extremely low.
