Don't blame the computer.  Blame the programmer.  And not necessarily the app programmer either.  Things that are done through web forms are a mix of the tech standards for HTML, etc., and implementations that often try to match one or another specific need, rather than remaining general.

Stupidity seems to appear out of complexity by spontaneous generation in the layers and layers of services of which these things are wrought.

Sounds a bit like the Mormon afterlife, Celestial/Terrestial/Telestial.

Not Joules McRock ?  Or was that another nickname that turned up?

Depends who names them.

Rate them by capacity: exa, zetta, yotta, ronna, and quetta.  Exas are only curiosities.  Serious capacity begins with the yotta, but for heavy work you want the quettas.

Heinlein shamelessly used "Shipstone" and then claimed it was named after his its inventor.

Gatestone, gapstone (after "bandgap"),  ion stone, joulestone, jumpstone, hsi-stone (high/ultrahigh specific impulse stone) ... ... ... drivestones, arcstones, boundstones/bondstones ... Einstones, singularity stones ...

Blame Microslough.  Instead of hewing to the international standard for character codes, and character code binary encodings, they remain stuck in the cement of their pre-ISO 646 program code with no readily accessible off-ramp.  It's possible that those boxes indicate a binary encoding that is disallowed under ISO 646.  (Such are often alternate and ambiguous coding that have the potential to carry malware.)

Once programming for mass market apps spread around the world, character sets became a huge problem.  The Chinese (Han) ideographs number over 30,000; Japan mixes two character sets of its own with Han-derived symbols and the latin alphaber, the different slavic nations use alphabets with different characters added to the basic Cyrillic set, and I have no idea how click-speakers' utterences are represented. ISO 646 defines a 64-bit encoding and a subset (Unicode) that, by sharing Han symbols across language boundaries, can be encoded in 16 bits, or a variable number of 8-bit bytes.

Basic competence in ISO-646 probably requires study equivalent to 45 undergraduate credits--a three semester sequence.

Didn't Dante have some ideas?

There's an old joke about a fellow with his feet in a freezer and his head in an oven.  On average, he's comfortable.  Or you could assume a spherical cow ...

Which is more extrinsic, size or costliness?  Size is an explicitly extrinsic quality.  Here, costliness is an attribute attributed to the trucks.

But consider "He loves rare, dangerous, expensive pets."  The order is 'rare' (how many abound), 'dangerous', 'expensive'.  We could exchange the latter two; the effect would be a change in emphasis.  The adjective closer to the noun has the greater emphasis.  That we can exchange them calls for the second comma.   Why the first comma?  The order "expensive, rare, dangerous" also works.  The distinction here between the "extrinicality" (eek!) is not strong enough to fully mandate one order over the other, though putting 'rare' last feels to me weaker than the other orders.

More generally, the most intrinsic modifiers are placed nearest the nouns they modify, and the most extrinsic (e.g. number) are placed furthest away.

The rule about commas only between modifiers of like or near-like category isn't absolute.  Sometimes the modifier sequence reads best with a non-canonical comma somewhere.

Intrinsic: related to a property inherent in the thing itself, without regard to how much you have or how it relates to other tbings.

Extrinsic: what is not intrinsic, per above

Intrinsic and extrinsic are endpoints on a scale.

I first read about this 'rule' in the 1980s in a paper out of Bell Labs.  It described how speakers and writers of prose regarded (or measured?) as clear (comprehensible?) actually wrote.   I presume it was part of their studies in readability.  So it's not an arbitrary rule, but the description of observed common and good practice.

I suppose Doctor Caliogstro is out?

Another interesting test would be the first couple of pages of Volume 1 of Manchester's =The Last Lion=, which may be found here: https://ethanrussell.com/americanstory/?p=4030 .

In case you're wondering about civet cat coffee, it's called kopi luwak and appears briefly in the story =Directionally Challenged= in the collection =Your Honor, I Can Explain= (Volume 1 of the Andrew Spurgle Chronicles)
