Translation: It's not inconsistent if we consider the deviation from the rule as a second rule. Any future deviation will get their own rule. Perfectly consistent
I don't think that's fair, I'm just saying considering kilo to mean 1000x in all bases is too narrow as a definition. Is 'car' a 'petrol-powered four-wheel transportation device with human-operated left-hand control'?
At my current job, we're issues MacBooks. My biggest pet peeve of macOS is the grouping of windows behind a single icon on the dock bar. I hate that if I have two Chrome windows open, it takes two clicks to go between them.
With the exception of modals, if a program has multiple windows open, when I should see each of them as its own item on the dock bar (or in Windows, the taskbar). I don't think even Windows makes this an option anymore, but I use WindowBlinds on my personal Win10 computer to give me that behavior while also skinning everything to look like Win2K, because I can't stand the flat aesthetic that's popular right now.
The dock is per-process because there are options to quit the program on the menu. I suppose they could switch it to close window and change to quit on the last window, but Mac users are very used to the way it is. There should be an icon there even with no windows.
I‘d imagine the dock would look quite ridiculous for someone working on multiple docs, or a slate of images in photoshop, etc.
It could just take one long click to switch between them.
Right-click the Dock icon (keep holding the button), move your mouse up to the window you want in the menu, then let go to activate that window.
I typically just keep part of each of my windows viable, so I can simply click on them, if I'm going back and forth. So it's still just one click. I got out of the habit of maximizing windows a couple decades ago when I first got a Mac and my first widescreen display.
