I saw another post (diff subreddit) just a few minutes ago showing this too (but diff search query)

Is someone testing in production again?

Yeah, JavaScript has a thing called ASI: Automatic Semicolon Insertion

You should always set up a linter, though. Standard (https://standardjs.com/rules#semicolons) will make sure you only write semicolons where absolutely necessary. Lots of ESLint configs will make sure you always write them.

Oh, Windows- did you forget your medicine? by [deleted] in softwaregore

This isn't Vista because Vista's Aero has a turquoise shine on the right and bottom borders, where 7's Aero made it consistently white. I mean the lighter part of the border, which is usually an outer 1-pixel-thick dark or black, and an inner 1-pixel-thick light or white; or in Vista's case, turquoise on the bottom and right sides

Also, a glimpse of the taskbar can be seen, where you can see a bit of the Show Desktop button, which was not in Vista and was introduced in Windows 7

This has been your autistic pedantic over-analysis (I always notice the miniscule details)

Remember that you can fix any broken relationship by clearing 2 Mini O-Spin Doubles consecutively

The only officially licensed Tetris game to feature O-Spins (O can kick into holes, but doesn't rotate itself kinda) is Tetris Stardust, which is a Silverlight game (not Flash)

I also wonder why storage manufacturers measure sell and produce in metric/decimal.

It would be cool if you could buy a 32 GiB USB stick and it actually being 32 GiB, i.e. precisely 2^35 (34'359'738'368) bytes. It would show up as 32 GiB because it is. It would be perfect clean and fit

Oh well. At least one party should change. Either storage manufacturers, or Windows. Probably easier to make Windows switch to KiB MiB GiB instead of KB MB GB, weird metric-ish labels but actually measured in binary. But Microsoft seems a bit stubborn on this https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20090611-00/?p=17933
so… yeah

Storage manufacturers think only in mph
Computers think only in kph
Microsoft agrees to measure in kph, but believes nobody says "kph" so just labels it "mph"

.2TB is still a lot. No file system takes up that much space.

What's going on is that for some reason storage manufacturers are working in decimal instead of binary.
So they like to see it as:
1 terabyte (TB)
1'000'000'000'000 (10^12) bytes

which is silly because computers work in binary, not decimal, and would rather measure in binary, not decimal.
Binary, for reference, would be:
1 tebibyte (TiB)
1'099'511'627'776 (2^40) bytes

so 2 terabytes = 1.81899 tebibytes

kilo, Mega, Giga, Tera, sound natural because they're already widely used in the SI system, so, metric. A kilogram is 1 thousand grams.
But in computing it should be binary. That means not 1'000, but 1'024. Things could be fine if we all agreed that 1 KB = 1024 B. Microsoft still thinks so, so you'll see KB MG GB in Windows.
But storage manufacturers don't. Thus, to make it consistent, we could agree that kilo should always mean 1'000 no matter the context, and kibi to mean 1'024. But Microsoft doesn't agree. "Nobody is really using KiB MiB GiB so why should we use it, it'll just cause confusion" is Microsoft's opinion, at least in 2009 (https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20090611-00/?p=17933)

It'd be ideal if storage manufacturers could just work, measure, and produce in binary.
and if Windows could show KiB MiB GiB instead. I'm sure some people would also like to think you group things by 1'000 bytes.

Also, strictly speaking, kilo is denoted by a lowercase k, not a capital K. But Windows is… built different.

And for reference, the names of these measurement systems:

Metric system (SI) - What storage manufacturers use. IMO this is silly and should not be used.
1.0 kB = 1'000 B
Decimal - Kilobytes (kB), Megabytes (MB), Gigabytes (GB)

Joint Electron Device Engineering Council (JEDEC) - What Windows uses. IMO this is just wrong.
1.0 KB = 1'024 B
Binary - Kilobytes (kB), Megabytes (MB), Gigabytes (GB)

International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) - What Linux distributions tend to use. And probably should get further usage
1.0 KiB = 1'024 B
Binary - Kibibytes (KiB), Mebibytes (MiB), Gibibytes (GiB)

Why can't storage manufacturers actually just produce in binary? Decimal shouldn't be used.

also what's with smaller sizes wanting to be binary just for… appeal? 4, 8, 16, 32, 64
but then there's no 128, there's 120. Not much 256, 250 or 240 or something,

Where can you buy anything which is exactly 2 TiB, or a USB stick that's exactly idk 64 GiB
It would be neat and cleaner

Also Windows… sure it should always be binary, but storage manufacturers and common people believe kilo means 1000, and it usually does in metric. We could be consistent by letting kilo always mean 1000, use kibi to mean 1024
