The windows UI being boring doesn't necessarily have to be caused by a lack of customizability. The windows UI is just a boring UI design even if you make it more customizable. Makes it better, but doesn't fix the problem IMO.

Tom Scott actually has a video about this which also talks about why you can't end sentences with contractions. https://youtu.be/CkZyZFa5qO0

Funny, I actually recently went trying to find this exact video trying all sorts of different searches. Ik one of the girls names but that doesn't make finding it easier

๐Ÿค” that's a fair point...

It's actually not. Objective-C is a superset of C. C++ is not. It's MOSTLY compatible...but it's not a superset. See the restrict keyword, or the need for casting to and from void*, or the inability to name variables new or delete, or class, or this. I can't count how many C projects I have which use this as a variable name that WILL NOT compile as C++...or the need for extern C to call C ABI code...in no way is it a superset

EDIT: lol, you can downvote me if you want but I think you need to lookup what a superset is

There was actually a really interesting idea I heard to have no time zones. And I actually think it could be a good idea. It'll never happen because people would need to re-learn time but if it was always the same time everywhere it would make scheduling and business so much easier. No one would need to convert between different zones or be late because of an incorrect conversion. The downside is that times which are conventionally morning or evening etc, would no longer would be so people would have to get used to time just being a construct for scheduling and not a representation of the natural day/night cycle...but it actually doesn't sound like a half bad idea.

From a development perspective it certainly sounds easier to have one global timezone with DST than a bunch of smaller ones without it. Would that make sense in reality? Probably not but I definitely think timezones take more work to compensate for properly.

Where's the .EnableUltraUltraWideSupport(). Gotta have my 48:9 aspect ratio

๐Ÿค”... I've never liked i and don't use it...not sure why. I keep thinking I should start but alas I just don't.

Yeah, I was ignoring apple platforms because Objective-C doesn't even have its own header extension as an option. Also not all C headers do extern stuff...and it doesn't fix 100% of compatibility problems when you do that anyway. Also I'm not really talking about it from a compiler perspective, I'm talking about it from an organization and human perspective. I know compilers generally don't care...which is exactly how we ended up in this predicament.
