Miller Columns
I remember using these somewhere, perhaps a music player, and how amazing they were.<p>It's interesting to note that Thunar (XFCE file manager) and Dolphin (KDE manager) have removed Miller columns, in KDE's case because the column view had "been used by only very few people but was tricky and time consuming to maintain." [0]<p>A slight side note, I've been a fan of Mark S. Miller's work for a while now and I never knew these were named after him. Mark S. Miller's other contributions, particularly his work on popularizing capability-based security[1] and the E programming language[2] are well worth looking into if you're interested in how easy secure, race-condition-free, distributed computing could be made.<p>[0] <a href="http://ppenz.blogspot.com/2012/01/dolphin-20-status-update.html?showComment=1325669619833#c91135672311802014" rel="nofollow">http://ppenz.blogspot.com/2012/01/dolphin-20-status-update.h...</a><p>[1] <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capability-based_security" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capability-based_security</a><p>[2] <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E_(programming_language)" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E_(programming_language)</a>
