If their argument is that their codebase is basically unreadable, then I see why they're scared someone might find some bugs here and there.

I mean, GME has value because it is shorted so much. The goal of WSB is to go for a short squeeze (when the short positions have to be closed to avoid going bankrupt, the stock price goes up). In that regard I'd consider bitcoin to have less "value", as its price is mostly based on hype, and it doesn't really have any practical uses.

Things that annoy me on mac: - there's no volume mixer (each app having an individual volume slider) - no window snapping (before I bought BetterTouchTool, which includes window snapping, I had windows everywhere and it was just a mess) - column view in Finder is nice, it would be really useful to pick a new "root" folder for the viewer, or to move one directory up from the "root"

Things that annoy me on windows: - No tabs in explorer. Imagine having a web browser that didn't have tabs, that's how bad this is. - No preview in explorer. Mac has this awesome feature where you press space and it gives a quick overview of most files (not only images but also pdfs, .docx, ...). - No column view. Column view makes it much easier to navigate across directories, and back and forth between subdirectories of a root directory.

I'm hoping they finally bring native tabs to their file explorer. It's annoying to have to open multiple windows if you want to browse multiple directories. In addition, I'm hoping for a "column view" like mac has.

As discussed in the article, the point is to quickly set up vim on fresh linux installations (e.g. virtual machines). For the vim on your own pc, you would likely use the full version, in addition to whatever extra config you prefer.

We should rename North-America to North-West-America and South-America to South-East-America.

The people I know who use waze a lot (30+ min drive to work every day) have the notify icon (bottom right) clearly burned into their OLED phone screens.

It's not even mentioned in the abstract.

I'm probably missing something obvious but... Should white skin not reflect sunlight more, and dark skin absorb it more? I agree that northerners have more need to absorb sunrays and hence make more vitamin D, so shouldn't they be black?

No mention of dask? So far I haven't really had a need for larger-than-memory arrays, but dask would be my go-to choice.

At least in astrophysics, the standard is to let your paper go through peer review first, then post the paper once accepted. In the arXiv comments, you then put "Accepted by <journal>". Besides offering the papers for free, the arXiv is the main "news feed" that astronomers use (much more convenient than having to check all the different journals). Imo this system works quite well. There's indeed papers posted that are not yet peer-reviewed, but these you read with a more skeptical view.

The large number of submissions is indeed a problem for other fields (I think mostly computer science?). I'm not sure what the best solution is for that. A voting system (where you see a mix of new and popular submissions), together with some content filtering, can help the reader. However, this would probably lead to some important papers getting burried.

AFAIK, it only searches through your apps, not files.

Exactly. The browser provides a URL bar that is coupled to a search engine. It makes sense for the browser to provide you with a default option for that search engine. A web browser is something that needs to be on every computer; so it makes sense that the OS installs a default web browser.

What doesn't make sense is that some software (office) tampers with your preferences for a (mostly) unrelated piece of software (chrome). That is not office's responsibility.
