That would be a nice feature in Windows. It would certainly reduce my complaints.

Why? The entire idea of GUIs is to have multiple windows open. In the case of File Explorer a single window will make it far more opaque when copying and moving files.
More importantly, why the F is Microsoft dead set on mimicking Apple's interface? Monochromatic, boring, and completely separated from good UI practices on larger screens.

Today we’re excited to announce our support and collaboration on a new Stage 0 proposal to bring optional and erasable type syntax to JavaScript. It's a type!
And I'm sure no one will mention the "Embrace, Extend, Extinguish" memo.

So if JavaScript, the champion of duck-typed languages, embraces type checking, I wonder if the insanity of other duck-typed languages will finally begin their slow demise. Or adopt the type!

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I'm not sure I'd call JS the "champion" of duck typed languages. Certainly the most widely used. Also probably the worst implementation of it.
Having used Smalltalk, better implementations were available decades before the abomination that is JavaScript.

How about we say javascript is the most ducked up duck type language.

It's not GitHub versus Gitlab. They're both based around the Git distributed version control system, but they have very different development approaches. I'm assuming the 'Hu' vs. "La"?

Fifty years ago, astronauts on one of NASA's Apollo missions hammered a pair of tubes 14 inches long into the surface of the moon. Of course they'll open it *this* year
Between this, and that demon rock in Japan[^], we're doomed.

It has been just over 3 months since our 4.0 release, and we’ve used that time to focus on performance as well as bringing the latest .NET 6 innovation to Uno Platform. By simply updating your application to the newest bits you will notice a significant boost to your app performance. Also 30% gratuitous posts by me

After acquiring Clipchamp last year, Microsoft is now bundling the app into Windows 11. It’s a browser-based app that supports trimming, splitting, transitions, and even has a screen recorder feature. In case you want to kill the radio star

Hello World might be the most frequently written computer program. For decades, it's been the first program many people write, when getting started in a new programming language. We've been living a lie all these years
"Linux has this fun device file called "/dev/full", which is like its more famous cousin "/dev/null", but when you write to "/dev/full", instead of throwing away the data, it fails. It acts like a file on a filesystem that has just run out of space" <- Learn something new every day!
Dog help you if you need your Hello World program to be correct, even in error conditions.

Beyond testing your file write code, I can't think of anything either. But it is amusing (to me).

If you unplug your computer during execution, the program also fails.
(Less snarky, the article is a straw man because it adds a success return. Made me wonder the last time I actually checked the exit code of a program. Don't remember.)
