The problem isn't users, it's the engineers who think they know better. Every feature or device a user has problems with was designed by an 'expert' and implemented by 'an expert'. That annoying interface in Windows? That was designed by a team of experts and implemented by a team of experts. That iOS feature that everyone hates? Designed and implemented by experts.
If the experts can't make something that users like or can use, who's fault is it?
I suspect the main reason they measure github projects and stackoverflow questions isn't because they think those are good ways to measure, it's because it's the only publicly available information they have access to.
Swift's rise in popularity isn't due to Swift being a good language, it's due to 1) Apple killing ObjectiveC 2) ObjectiveC being so backwards
Clicking through 6 levels of menus *is* a terrible interface. Most graphical interfaces aren't like that though. No one is proposing getting rid of the keyboard.
Discoverability is important only once, if you live in a world where users have infinite, perfect memories. Humans do not have infinite or perfect memories.
The post was about windows on desktops and a comment about linux on desktops.
Windows more closely aligns with human-centered design than Linux. Linux, especially the terminal, is the antithesis of human-centered design. The terminal completely fails in numerous universally accepted criteria of human centered design including visibility, discoverability, and consistency. Using the terminal may be more productive for a tiny, unusual, subset of humans, of which you may be one, but average humans are more productive in windows.
Another thing that employers exploit are separation agreements between employees that are fired/quit and the employer to block them from making negative comments about the employer.
Amazon Aurora is technically Oracle-based, depending on how you look at it, since it's based off MySQL, which is currently an Oracle product. According to https://www.percona.com/blog/2..., it is based off the MySQL database source code of 5.6.10, which was released 2013-02-05, 3 years and 1 month after Oracle purchased Sun, which is 2 years after Sun bought MySQL.
Yes, but does Olympus have "Proven reliability and trusted performance"? What about "unsurpassed optical and manufacturing capabilities gained through more than a century of imaging expertise"? When they made it, were they trying to "explore a new level of optical performance"?
Who's using Microsoft Works to port an operating system? It could barely do simple word processing! Maybe one of the bajillion wizards or templates is for porting.
Both HP and Synaptics should get out of the software business. Even if you ignore this flaw; the touchpad drivers installed on HP computers are so awful, unresponsive, glitchy, buggy, and unusable, it's no wonder Microsoft is slamming the hammer down with Precision Touchpad drivers.
1) M.2 can be SATA, and there exists adapters. https://www.newegg.com/Product... 2) I don't see any technical reason a RAID controller can't connect NVMe disks.
With an MSDN subscription, you get permission to TEST against all those apps, servers, and OSs, but you don't get permission to use those in production. If you get an MSDN subscription, you can download, install, and test SQL server, but you aren't allowed to use that copy of SQL Server in a production system. You have to pony up big bucks for a license to SQL Server.
Shockwave was a brand that macromedia had. It was used to describe the web viewers and players they had for all their software. There was Shockwave Flash (SWF ring a bell?), Shockwave Director, and Shockwave Freehand. The branding was understandably confusing and they simplified it later to just Shockwave player (the browser plugin to view content created in Director) and Flash player (the browser plugin to view content created in Flash). The Freehand plugin died quickly; it was replaced with the ability to export Freehand documents to SWF (flash) directly.

Wasn't this in WebKit (and therefor Chrome) 10 years ago?

At least part of Edge is already open source:

These sorts of sites have existed for decades and there's already an extension for firefox to do this.

This is a little more difficult than it sounds. Most ISPs block SMTP, as do cloud VPS providers like Google.

But... mouse and keyboard =/
It is not "Lego". It is LEGO® brand building blocks.
They want the benefits of their images being included in search results but they are QQing.
There's some evidence to suggest the issue still lies with google:

I was just pointing out the claim no m.2 raid controller. I agree, that would be a silly thing to do.
1) M.2 can be SATA, and there exists adapters. https://www.newegg.com/Product...
2) I don't see any technical reason a RAID controller can't connect NVMe disks.
Looks like it's all owned by DTS now.
Maybe they could include a migration from the wasteful analog FM we have today to digital.
It would help if the clients weren't all different code bases and getting worse every release.

But then when you need those things you probably wont have the adapter around because you never use it.
