I'm experimenting with imitating window UI elements when showing code snippets on my website. What do you think? Do the familiar dots of the title bar help, or is it just confusing decoration? First image is the current style, the second image has the window UI.

I definitely feel more productive with a larger monitor compared with just a laptop, and I know there have been studies on this. I wonder if it's primarily the window switching overhead? E.g. would a tiling WM with lots of virtual desktops perform better?

Neat Emacs package of the day: frames-only-mode! https://github.com/davidshepherd7/frames-only-mode If you're using a tiling window manager, this lets you create new windows rather than Emacs splitting its own window: https://techtrickery.com/tearing-out-the-emacs-window-manager.html
