To me this is poor design. I prefer to have everything turned off by default. Then I have to learn how to turn things on.

In the end, this teaches me much more about controlling the program's behaviour than having developers make decisions for me. But that's just my opinion.

The older version I was using, 1.7.2.4, is not affected. So much for "updates".

I'm not getting this. Does it require Javascript?

I can select text in tmux without any problems.

I guess your browser is allowing the NYT web developers to remotely control it, e.g., to disable select/copy/paste?

Is the author aware of the posix dll in the SUA subsystem?

Control Panel, Add or Remove System Features, select SUA. Windows 7 Enterprise has it and maybe other versions.

Linking against this library works for me. It may or may not work for others, but there's only one way to find out: try it.

MS is trying to make it go away (for the second time) so expect that people to tell you it does not work and not to use it. Whatever.

Alternatively I agree with the commenter who suggested Delphi. It just works, same as it did in the 90's. I still use an older version from that era. Works beautifully.

"It's always interesting to me when people build on top of a service that is free with no guarantee of it existing in the future."

1. free 2. no guarantees

Think of a web site that is free to access, e.g., one that lets a user query a web crawl or a database of user-submitted personal photos, that also sells ads to anyone wanting to buy.

"Customers" are allowed to buy ads, but how far into the future?

Can the web site change its terms at any time?

Can you think of an example?
