The defaults of bash make more sense for terminal use than scripting.
Powershell is a bit further towards the scripting end of the spectrum- part of why it annoys people coming from bash.
Compiled languages would be at the scripting end.
E.g. If without bps if you have an interest rate of 2% and somebody states that it has increased by 10%, it's unclear whether they meant a result of 2.2% or 12%.
Many people get that far in their thinking, realise cryptocurrency is a bad investment, and leave it there.
Using an alternative sms app that sometimes upgrades messages to signal was nearly zero friction.
Keeping an alternative messaging app for one contact is borderline-charity.
I'd do it to help with network effects if I wanted to support the company, but the attempt at crypto integration already cost them my good will.
The many layers of cancellation buttons with different layouts strongly suggest that they a/b test for maximum difficulty.
Town centers will soon be inaccessible by car, so they'll still need public transport occasionally for that.
They have an outsized influence as content sharers/creators rather than consumer, so annoying them is worse for reddit than it might appear.
Given the number of videos that are a single static image plus audio surely YouTube has built in a special case for them.
Reduced minimum cost of living for the poor, less traffic for those who drive for a living or have no choice or are willing to pay for luxury.
Rural poor would struggle, they'd need support through another means.
I don't like the idea of extra tax complexity when it could just be an adjustment to headline rates though. Too much admin and potential for benefits cliffs.
Recorded steps in the GUI generate code that can be manually edited.
I still mostly use ADS for the git integration, file comparison, terminal, and file picker though.
SSMS only for those admin tasks where it has a nice GUI, or when ADS breaks in some way (happens a lot).
Uncommon settings being exposed to websites makes fingerprinting much more reliable.

Non-manager caps at ~£48k for most technical roles.
When parents expected young children to perform unpaid manual labor the net cost of upbringing was negligible or even profitable.
Now many people only start earning at 21 or later, and aren't even able to support their parents at the point due to the huge size of mortgage and college loans.
There's always going to be a painful tail of slow adapters with standards.
Possibly to the point where a mortgage would be cheaper and easier than a rental is currently.
Governments could set themselves up as a monopoly landlord for those people unable to afford even cheap homes.
Some of them honestly believe that halving inflation doubles price no matter how many times you do it.
It's almost-required for Power Query.
The haircut is so large on those machines that the only use cases at the moment are financial crimes.
Assuming no submission is equivalent to a submission with earned income only (standard in Europe) would save an incredible amount of time.
Ads on mobile are generally a big impact to user experience (small screen, data limits) so blocking them is a killer feature for Firefox android.
