Windows' might be complex, but it is NOT graceful. If you have notepad open with unsaved text, then shutdown will never shut down - but nothing on the screen will make this obvious to a non-technical person.

My guess: it's a mouthful and not catchy. "Linux" is short, catchy and easy to pronounce. With "GNU/Linux" I don't even know if I'm supposed to spell out the GNU or pronounce it as a word, and I don't know if I'm supposed to say the "/" as "slash" or "plus" or "and" or if it should actually just be silent. I like to type how I speak, so if I don't know how to say it I'm not going to write it, and I'm not going to like reading it.

I can totally see the merits for "GNU/Linux" but don't underestimate the importance of catchiness. Maybe if it were shortened to "Ginux" it could stand a better chance, but then we'd have another gif situation.

QR codes require the background colour (white) to extend at least 5 pixels around the corners. This won't scan.

AFAIK that should give you +infinity, not NaN

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_by_zero#Floating-point_arithmetic

In IEEE arithmetic, division of 0/0 or ∞/∞ results in NaN, but otherwise division always produces a well-defined result. Dividing any non-zero number by positive zero (+0) results in an infinity of the same sign as the dividend. Dividing any non-zero number by negative zero (−0) results in an infinity of the opposite sign as the dividend. This definition preserves the sign of the result in case of arithmetic underflow.

To be fair, it turns out not all environments implement floating-point arithmetic by the IEEE spec, meaning division by 0 can produce different results depending on where you run it. So in C++ float division by zero is undefined: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42926763/the-behaviour-of-floating-point-division-by-zero

But I'm fairly sure (note: based on literally no research) that most environments today will behave like the IEEE spec.

Have you ever actually seen someone care about that particular choice of terminology, without being sarcastic trying to be funny?

You're in the majority in general society though, IMO. And I'm with you as well.

I've never seen this meme format before. Wasn't too hard to find but there were alarmingly few results. Here's an unedited copy: https://pin.it/4IDvvJwNb

I think what I'm trying to say is: where are you getting your memes? What should I make of this obscurity?

There's always a risk of JavaScript breaking out of the sandbox and crap like that. Browser vendors do their best to protect against things like that but security is often a trade-off for speed and people like fast software, not to mention browsers are huge and complex and they're going to have vulnerabilities. A browser's whole job is to execute remote untrusted code, do you trust it that much to be flawless?

They're clearly asking about performance not security
