And yet copying multiple large files from or to the same disk grinds the throughput to a halt on Windows where Finder keeps up close to theoretical bandwidth in sum.


Windows file I/O has always felt slower than Linux, Mac, anything. Still does. I don’t know what’s wrong with it or why it’s unfixable.

SSDs make it tolerable… not by fixing it but by being fast enough to hide it. Back in the spinning disc days you could tell a windows machine by how much kerchunking the drive was doing.


That's not a UI issue.


Mac (the hardware) is amazing.

MacOS (the OS) is much better than Windows.

But MacOS (the user interface) is worse than Windows (or even Linux).


Even independent of tariffs, FedEx likes to send stuff to debt collectors and not apply reasonable processes. We had paid a customs bill at the door and the driver never filed it in the system. I have a receipt and after 4 “reminders” and fighting them, with that receipt attached they still sent it to collection. FedEx doesn’t care. Talked to the debt collector and they dropped it, and said: we will check why they don’t have their shit together (transliterated). And this is in Germany.


It could help in the sense that people would not accept a pile of `fix`, `fix of fix` commits in a PR anymore.

The current UIs don't punish you for that as the reviewer mostly sees one final coherent change.


I'm not aware of any PR/MR UI that hides the underlying commits. Some of us do look at them.
