How do they do time without JavaScript? Is there an API I’m not aware of?

FWIW, for Windows Explorer the numerical sort order can be disabled by setting the DWORD value

     HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Currentversion\Policies\Explorer\NoStrCmpLogical
in the registry to 1.

I honestly thought Explorer was broken and have been looking into 3rd party file browsers for Windows because this has been driving me so nuts. Thank you!

This must be why, when I have a folder in Win11 full of files with GUIDs as names, they are never in the order I expect. Windows seems to sort them randomly but there must be some sub-sequence of numbers that it's deciding are the important ones and sorting off those. For me I'd much rather just sort left to right alphabetical.

Are there any improvements to be done to Git? It seems like kind of a solved problem, like word processors or spreadsheets… most “improvements” to those are diminishing returns.

I don't mean to sounds like an MS apologist, btw. I fully predicted and hoped for an exodus from Github to GitLab or something back when it got acquired — I'm from the Microsux generation.

GitHub personal access tokens could be a lot better. It'd be nice if you could assign tokens at the team level or you have more fine grained control over token permissions.

And yes, I know "Fine Grained Tokens" exist but they don't seem to be usable almost anywhere and the fine grain level of control isn't actually very fine grained so they kind of suck.

Well if you have a Tesla, I believe you can sit in it and it offers games to play on its iPad to kill the time.

Your Tesla has an iPad? Or you're saying someone sitting in a car can play on an iPad if they have one?

I already pay $220 /yr to register my EV in Georgia. That's far more than I would pay if I were driving an ICE car. Does this mean that I'd have to pay $420 /yr if this passed?

With all due respect, I agree that the blocked spigot was surprising, but the block is not hard to see if you just peek inside the spigot before connecting it. I struggle a bit to imagine how someone figures out they have to connect the hose there and even does all the connecting but never views the spigot from an angle where they can see the block.

Pretty much all the pinch points encountered were things visible and could have been through about at the start of the project. They've done this 9 times before, you need a wrench/pliers to put the hoses on. It needs to drain (also that drain cover likely needed a only a flathead screw driver to remove. Drilling it out leaved burrs and usually they are designed to be popped out with a little force.) They lived in 9 places and don't have a drill that can chuck in a small hole saw. Seems surprising. But I guess the point is you don't know what you don't know.

Unrelated, but I'd already get stuck at this step:

> I don't have a tool to make a big enough hole, but with a little research I find out a hole saw is the way to do it. It's an open-ended drum with serrated saw teeth that you mount on a drill to do the cutting. I go to my local hardware store, get some advice on what to get, and buy a 60mm hole saw.

Just the idea of buying a whole new machine for a single use, and not even knowing for sure whether it'll do the job, is already so demoralising that I'll usually just stop and hope that an alternative approach magically presents itself to my mind's eye.

Interestingly I don't usually have this problem when programming, but I really don't like DIY.

I was surprised they got stuck here and need to use a totally different drill. Several of my smaller hole saw fit in a 1/4" chuck.

> Robyn: To give YouTube a sense of motion, we created a dynamic red-to-magenta gradient. For the second color, orange and yellow were strong contenders, but magenta felt like the most natural pairing with our new red. Interestingly, magenta doesn't often appear in the natural world, so it symbolizes the imagination and evolution that YouTube embodies. We also placed the gradient at a 45-degree angle with magenta on the right, signifying forward movement.

Kinda reminds me of this quote

> There will be rich debates about the socioeconomic implications of Helvetica Light, and at some point, you will have to decide whether serifs are daring statements of modernity, or tools of hegemonic oppression that implicitly support feudalism and illiteracy.

I noticed this gradient and knew it didn't used to be there. I thought for a long time there was something wrong with my TV. I would walk around the room looking at the TV from different angles and would move the progress bar to different points in the video. I was looking at the color settings and other known-color images. Ultimately I'm glad I saw this article and I can stop thinking I've gone crazy out that my tv is broken!

Should society remove citizen’s rights to those helpless people then ? Who should watch over them and be responsible for their acts ?

This isn't a "rights" issue. It's taking a step back and seeing that what happened to her could, to a degree, happen to any of us and she's not deserving of mockery.
