If you're okay with pointing out that statistically Indians are much more likely to make stupid answers, what's wrong with saying statistically blacks are much more likely to commit crimes.

Choose both or none.

I did, once. But after that one entirely new sessions, they automatically "click" the sign in to google button behind the scenes and log me in with the token.

Very creepy

Quora logs you in automatically if you're logged in to google.

Also makes it extremely hard to log out.

Not to mention they have no respect for users.

For those that don't know- scalatags is an amazing html-ish library that allows you to write html once and render both from server and from client. SSR and SPA in one for you cool kids out there.

Not to mention no more misspellings of attributes with strong typed html

WSL is windows subsystem for Linux. Think of it like this- say you have an 'ls' binary from UNIX machine. You have WSL enabled on your machine in Windows. Windows will start the ls process and the UNIX calls will be handles in windows. (the kernel has mappings).

It's not perfect and one of the biggest issues has been file system speed but besides that and some other smaller issues its the absolute best of both worlds- OneNote + excel + outlook + i3

Goodbye, EdgeHTML 8 years ago

I don't want to digress from the discussion but can a typographical expert comment on what are the legibility benefits of wide vs slender fonts? How much or how little does the width matter? What other factors are there?

I ask because the "goodbye" headline uses a wide font.
