Earlier quoted context omitted.

I've been on the internet for decades, and that phrase never sat well with me; Beer Money is a real phrase, and AFAICR I've always been required to tender a fee for the right to undock a beer container from the beer-temperature-control-apparatus or purge beer fluid from a heat controlled storage vessel.

Have you never been invited over and been offered to fetch yourself some beer from the fridge? It'd be weird for a friend to require you to tender a fee before doing so, and they'd also be quite annoyed if you started stockpiling the beer being offered to you and started reselling it. In my mind the phrase conjures the right frame of mind: "Hey! Check out this piece of code I've written, friend! Feel free to use it!"

That is a perfect way to put it for me to understand it...

Thanks. I feel obtuse for not getting that for so long.

I wanted to run 3x portrait so bad until I realized that side scrolling would have to become a fact of life for me to do so.

I got a chance to do this when an office reorg temporarily granted me a third monitor. The occasional horizontal scroll was more than compensated for by the feeling of godlike power.

3x portrait 1x landscape has driven me mad with power. They're 4k, so I don't actually have to scroll here. Only downside is having to buy my own monitors for work because I've spoiled myself.

10/10 would sell my soul for more pixels again.

I think the last time I saw this it was a spinoff off a market trading application that was (at the time and even now) one of the most impressive web applications I'd seen. I can't remember the damn name though.

Heh, check the bottom right of the website's homepage...

"powerful persistence" and a picture of two floppy disks. I'm in my early 30's and I haven't ever personally owned a computer that included a floppy drive. I did buy a USB one with my late 90's iMac, for compatibility with the school but I think you get my point.

Your point is wrong. Even kids who were born after floppy disks fell into disuse recognize the symbology as representing "save" or "persist". Apparently the letter "A" used to represent a bull. Doesn't mean it is useless to us today, far from it.

They recognise it because software uses it still, nothing more.
