Maybe knife and fork could be the hands in the app icon.

You can usually click the year and then pick that first. But the fact that so many people don't instantly get that shows how poorly designed it is.

> You can usually click the year and then pick that first.

Even then, clicking the year will often lead to a tiny one-page list of 10 years, which you can either page back in or click the decade to get shown a list of decades to pick from. So: click 2026, click 2020s, click 19XXs, click a year, click a month, click a birthday.

Such an interface makes at least some sense for "pick a date in the near future". When I'm booking an airline flight, I usually appreciate having a calendar interface that lets me pick a range for the departure and return dates. But it makes no sense for a birthday.

And even when they let you type it in, sometimes it turns out that the website was made by Americans and so expects the bonkers date format of MM/DD/YYYY.

A good example of appropriate use of a calendar interface on a flight booking website is Aviasales. They show flight prices for each day right there, so if your travel dates are flexible, you know when it's cheaper by just looking at it! This should be a standard feature.

I'm damn glad I never started giving my photos to the cloud, be it Apple or Google.

Should have called it clamp

Ha! Huge missed opportunity :-)

There may not be many like me, but I sure as hell appreciate a clever name. A great name is extremely hard, but figuring one out can make or break a project.

That's the host mentioned 6 times in the article.

In a way, doesn't AI violate non-commercial open source licenses because it takes the code and then profits from it but in a way that is so opaque that nobody can prove it?

In the "When you're a star^H^H^H^H big tech, they let you do it. You can do anything." kind of way.

The physics remind me of Little Inferno

CRLF vs LF?

But this would result in showing double newlines, when you view a CRLF file with an LF viewer, that also interprets CR. This does sound more like the file would have only CRs, which is what classic Mac did pre-Darwin. But that doesn't make any sense.

Maybe Notepad is actually saving LF, but marks the file as CRLF and some WSL translation layer then triggers and removes LF, because they are not CRLF?

Ugh, that's the worst. Sometimes I just stand there for 5 minutes waiting for it to finish.
