salt water fish are expensive

human beings why the gently caress were we so reliant on rivers? why didn't we evolve the ability to process salt water and just expunge the excess salt? in hundreds of thousands of generation, how did this trait not find its way in primates giving a huge advantage over bitch-made homo sapiens who can't handle a little salt in their water?

You'd figure power users on the OS X side would have eventually bugged Apple to make this a thing now, but...no? I think the most mind boggling thing about El Cap is that they were trying to address multi-tasking, but seemingly intentionally avoided the straightforward and painfree way of emulating windows alt-tab. I'm not sure what the thought process here was. They were obviously looking to keep privacy in mind by obfuscating the view. But they wanted to keep some sort of fancy aesthetic too? But in the end they really got neither?

WINDOWBUTTON+LEFT or RIGHT does nothing on windows other than resize that particular window to full-length tall and half-length wide. On Mac it implements it as some kind of "feature" that's useless as gently caress. macs are not for working. that's the bottom line. people say it's good for music or graphics and maybe it is, but i fail to see how it's any better if you have the same application on your windows machine. i guess the eggshell off white matted finish makes you better at adding lensflare :idgi: e: that's not a smiley? really?

Shadow posted:These 'bad designs' could probably be solved with options in the Settings but Apple doesn't believe in customizing a workspace to maximize your efficiency. They care about uniforimity so they can claim their software is superior due to lack of bugs. Man that's the tip of the fuckin' iceberg. You can actually change them if you edit some kext files, but ever since 10.8, if you change the hotkeys that they've decided are important to the system, it automatically reverts them after sixty seconds. Just to spite you I guess. Seriously guys 10.6 was just esc to clear selections in the finder. That was nice, it was quick and clean. And then you changed it to, what is it now, cmd+opt+esc? Why? Or my other favorite, "media mode" or whatever the hell they called it. Let's make a fixed-binding hotkey in the F-row that you can't remove make your workspace disappear entirely and freeze your computer for ten seconds while it loads up a huge screen solely dedicated to running iTunes.

Samsung's android UI has been loving atrocious in my experience. It's sluggish, illogically laid out, and it's a colossal pain in the rear end just to get to specific file directories (I had to install a 3rd party file browser to be able to create and manage discrete folders). It's like they tried to streamline things in the shittiest possible way, so that the only way to consistently find your poo poo is to try to imagine the specific ways the designers have tried to idiot proof it and where that might have led them to hide what you're looking for. Trying to apply knowledge of logical computer layout and architecture gets you loving nowhere unless you root the drat thing and use 3rd party UI from the ground up. For god's sake, there isn't even an option to "save as;" everything has to be saved in a single download folder and then moved manually. Also, Google Play on android is one of the buggiest pieces of poo poo I've ever used. It takes tens of seconds for lists to populate, inconsistently displays albums on artist pages, and has frequent connection problems which require a hard reset of the entire tablet. Honestly, mobile software in general just seems like loving garbage. Is it especially difficult to develop, or are they just releasing broken poo poo for a quick paycheck, given the proliferation of smart phones?

Helical Nightmares posted:Is this a new trend? I've never seen those "cross traffic does not stop" signs before. At a four way stop or really at any stop sign I always thought you look around and assume the cross traffic will not yield before doing anything. That is how stop signs are supposed to work. The point of a stop sign is usually so that only the less busy side has to stop, and only 4 ways being labeled. Around 15 years ago, they seemed to start adding "Cross traffic does not stop" to some of them, and I caught myself almost crossing into traffic several times because I was used to only 4-way crosses being labeled since that is the logical way that stop signs work.

The problem is that most places are really, really bad about labeling 4-way stops and people are too lazy to locate and identify all 4 stop signs, so they'll see "I have a stop, opposite traffic has a stop, traffic to my left has a stop" and assume that the 4th direction will stop too.

I just do the three finger swipe up since it shows all windows and doesn't clump.

There was a 4-way with a 2-way stop by my old house in Florida which happened to be on 110th st. The stop sign had the little sign and it said "110 Street Traffic Does Not Stop" We connected the 1's in 110 to make it an 'N' so then it said "NO Street Traffic Does Not Stop"

It looks 'good' and it's cheap to mfg so... Yeah.

As far as bathroom design goes, I have pissed in men's rooms, women's rooms, and "non-gendered" restrooms. They all loving suck and are terrible and sometimes there's blood, there's not much a difference between what gender is labeled on the door when it comes to the filth inside.

Looking at that mac stuff reminded me of when I first downloaded iTunes to put poo poo on my phone. Well let's see if I can even add stuff to the library... "Music", "Movies", "TV Shows" no... maybe this? No dice. ... Oh wait Oh yeah of course, because those 20 extra pixels of screen real estate when you first open the program were so much more important than actually being able to use it.
