Ask HN: What is in this Windows Explorer URL

In Windows 10 (Version: 1909, OS build: 18363.1316), listed under 'Quick access' is this 'Scans' directory created by Windows. Once inside, clicking on the address bar shows this string:

'C:\Users\Username\Pictures\Microsoft.WindowsScan_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App\Scans'

I went there with JS disabled and was very confused–it just showed a list of links. Not pleasant.

Edit: With JS enabled, the design just amazed me

I agree, this is probably because we never 'speak' (although write) in programming languages trying to convey something. This goes same for 'hearing' (although we read and understand, hopefully). We always use human languages for those purposes, well, except for those times we speak in pseudo-code.

Don't be too quick to take it at face value. It's hard to write down what is actually in one's head, even for experienced writers. I'm sure he'll tell you a lot more on the stuff he claims he doesn't know if you had the good fortune of having a chat with him in person. Also, keep in mind that he probably knows deeply about some things and their extents, and so his definition of words like 'fuzzy' should be different from that of an intern's. As he puts it himself,

> Experienced developers have valuable expertise despite knowledge gaps

contributes heavily to

> learning technologies when I need them

which can be very valuable.

But it's not that simple. There are many things like social dynamics at play whenever people interact with one another, and the one with most charisma is going to be a leader without a title–and that can be good too.

And companies who dare asking your consent to collect, retain, and share (with 3rd parties they like) everything about you from your teams chat to gene data.

Hi, you should hide elements with CSS instead of with JS, following is visible on visiting the page with JS disabled.

How about a browser that has cookies etc. as different modules detachable/attachable from/to the actual _browsing session/s_, and an option to attach/detach them on the fly. I think I would get used to the overhead work involved when browsing, just like I got used to NoScript.

IMHO, entries like this are misleading for a beginner (a bad apple in the basket)
