News You Can Bruise for 2000 May 5

Permalink [No comments] When copywriters make technical decisions:

My camera's three settings of picture quality: "Best", "Better", and "Good". Stop it! For one thing, I don't need to be reassured that even though I'm taking pictures on the lowest quality setting, the quality is still acceptable. For another, "Better" is not an identifier. "Better" is a function. Knock it off, marketing people!

In other news, I now have only 4 shift-reduce conflicts.
