I was just thinking how someone should Photoshop in some dangerous idiot skeptics into Majora’s Mask. This thought turned out to be moot though, because the game already has dangerous idiot skeptics.
Sometimes I feel like a bunch of developers came into JavaScript and decided it needed some sort of resource intensive compilation step just so it could be more like the “real” languages they’d worked in prior.
And now I want @rianjohnson to make a Columbo. Now some may be thinking “didn’t he just do a whodunit?” Well, my hypothetical inquisitive stranger, Columbo is not a whodunit (quite the opposite, in fact!)

Is anyone else bothered by how most spreadsheets vertically align to the bottom?
How do you know when a software company has finally made it in enterprise?
When searches for how to download their software all circuitously lead through a page containing meticulously detailed installation instructions, but absolutely no information on where to download.
Snark aside, the fact that both the Magic Keyboard and the Surface Book 3 keyboard have very different designs illustrates that firm hinges require more weight than floppy ones. Weight comparisons between firm and floppy aren’t useful beyond being a categorical trade-off.
Given all the consternation about how much a 12.9″ iPad weighs with the Magic Keyboard (1.35 KG according to @gruber), I think it’s worth pointing out that the new 13″ Surface Book 3 is significantly heavier (1.53 KG to 1.64 KG according to Microsoft.)
