Gareth HalfacreeDear Microsoft. Here is a list of things I want the Start Menu to do:
* Show my installed programs
* Search my local files
* Provide access to system settings
Here is a list of things I do *not* want the Start Menu to do:
* Show the weather for a randomly-selected town near my network's public IP infrastructure
* Show tabloid headlines
* Show programs I *don't* have installed
* Search the web via Bing
* Show adverts(!)
* Attempt to engage me in conversation with a hallucinating LLM
Thanks.
I need a good balance of complicated enough to be intellectually stimulating, but not so complicated that it feels like work to read it.
I hate picking up a well-recommended book only to find that it’s a bubble-gum pop. Or that I need maps and family trees just to get through the first chapter.
I wish book reviews had a rating for “vocabulary complication” or “intellectual stimulation.”

Waldo JaquithPlease, please, stop using "foo" and "bar” in code documentation. Give us real examples that mean something. Not "if (foo > bar)," but “if (height > limit)." Not “foo++” but “counter++”. Give us a logical hook to hang our hat on, not nonsense words.
