I use fullscreen mode a lot. For work I will have VS Code and a web browser side-by-side. Every ticket I work on gets its own instance. I find it keeps me organized so I can focus on the work. If Apple ever got rid of fullscreen mode I coul

Those videos all sound like things that would be _very_ popular and if we could see it have a very good like to dislike ratio. They would likely be over 99% like vs dislike. If dislikes were still visible, you'd merely just see that yo

> Waterfall seems like a strawman to me. Waterfall definitely existed. I've been at places that worked that way. I think Agile (and corruptions of) have replaced waterfall well enough that people no longer think it used to exist.

Because those like me who don't install any of those apps don't have anything to share on HN. Showing that you have a nearly default desktop isn't interesting except when people are claiming that no one does that.

This fits my perception as well. I'd also add that the political compasses and candidate choosers have been a place where you can see the leftward lean. I think it is a similar root cause to the coverage selection issue. In The Righteo
