Why would you ever disable paste? It can only make it more likely that the user will make a mistake (and hate you for making the form harder to fill out).

I have an AutoHotkey that just takes whatever is in my clipboard and sends it through as individual virtual keystrokes, specifically for defeating paste-disabled form fields.

It gets way more use than I wish it did.

Weirdly it still doesn't quite do what I want. It leaves a gap around the edge of the window for some reason.

AI models in general seem to get different assembly languages mixed up easily.

If it came pre-installed I don't see what the difference would be. Many people don't know how to do anything other than launch certain applications on Windows either.

Except that it is a reality that is yet to happen in most countries.

Most people also don't buy laptops from some online store that only HN readers know about.

Right, but the whole point of this thread is that the advantage Windows has is that it comes pre-installed.

Some of which run better on Linux than Windows.

They might for whatever reason, however without Windows they would not have existed in first place.

I'm not sure I understand what your point is...

Without Windows they probably would have been written for whatever else was most popular instead.

or run without an OS like an arcade or console.

Can you explain how this is relevant here?

Adding a new feature to unify existing features is perfectly isomorphic to defining a new standard to unify existing standards.

It's not though, unless the new feature and existing features continue to exist as disjoint things. If the new feature subsumes the old ones, then you've reduced the number of features in the language.

The same is true of standards.

I think there's still value in generic AST-level operations. Like expand selection and shrink selection. Or select around the current node vs select inside (whatever that means for the current node type).

We've had clear, legible printer icons for decades.

Especially now that they've made RAM so expensive.

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be easy to understand what studies are actually demonstrating, based on how often you see people making giant leaps to conclusions that don't really follow from study results.
