One of the frustrating things about web dev, I find, is the staggering gulf between apparently nearly identical tasks and unpredictability of it. So often I will find myself on gwernnet asking Said Achmiz, 'this letter is a little too far left in Safari, can we fix that?' and the answer is 'yes but fixing that would require shipping our own browser in a virtual machine.' ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Actually, I came up with that all on my own after I noted to myself that capture-recapture would work; and it amused me so much that I resolved to try to come up with a proper list filling out the idea. I did get some of the other ideas from LLMs, though.
