I have maintained Tab Wrangler for both Chrome and for Firefox for years: it auto-closes tabs based on a configurable timeout and when they were last active. I'm not sure how people keep dozens or hundreds of tabs open either. It's FOSS, no ads, no tracking, no monetization:

79.6% of SpaceX’s Total Addressable Market is listed under “Enterprise Applications” of AI. This is in the S-1 itself. SpaceX is not planning to make its money in space or in broadband - SpaceX claims it’s an AI company.

Continuing to work on Tab Wrangler, an extension for both Chrome and Firefox that has been available and open source for 10+ years. It auto-closes tabs when they have not been active for a configurable amount of time, similar to the feature built into Mobile Safari but more configurable.

I have been maintaining it and in the past few months added features that had been requested for a long time.

This is “I could build that in a weekend” mentality. Your data on iCloud is replicated, available via the internet, available 99.99% of the time, etc. If your $30 hard drive fails you lose everything.

The price and being able to use other services is worth debating, but comparing it to “a single $30 hard drive” is disingenuous.

Yup good call, Angular.js seems more likely than Backbone now that you mention it.

Alex Russell introduced Web Components in 2011. React was released in 2013.

Web Components originally used a view-model architecture, which I would guess was heavily inspired by the most popular JS framework leading up to 2011: Backbone.

React was a massive departure from Backbone, and sadly the Web Components spec was developed before React had matured and changed the landscape.

This is clickbait to someone in particle physics?

It describes the standard model, what the LHC was able to find, what it hasn’t been able to find, and why there is skepticism about further discoveries. This is some high quality clickbait.

The plank is mentioned toward the end:

“In the past decade, every branch of the U.S. military has begun to phase out sit-ups and crunches from their required testing and training regimens, or else they have made them optional, alongside more orthopedically sound maneuvers such as the plank.”

Chrome’s Profiles are the #1 reason I use it over Firefox. If Firefox had as complete of an implementation as Chrome then I would consider switching, but until then Firefox is a non-starter for me.

I use all 3 of these profiles all day every day for work:

* one personal profile logged into personal Google

* one work profile managed by the company, logged into company Google

* one development profile with all the debugging extensions installed, like React and Redux tools (they require access to all pages all the time)

Locking your laptop to a table in a cafe doesn't seem like something most folks would do. Working in a cafe was the use case I imagined when I saw this.

LaGuardia in NYC requires transferring to a bus for the final connection from the subway to the airport. It’s infuriatingly difficult to get right even after doing the route many times. I’d often call a Lyft/Uber at 10x the price of the subway+bus because the public transit route is that annoying to deal with.

The collateral required by Robinhood’s clearing house to trade these stocks was raised to 100%, and it takes 2 days for trades to clear. Required collateral for other equities was not raised so there was no reason any other equities needed to be limited.

The title in the screenshot says “Continue search for Office Chairs,” which sounds like it shows recent Google searches that have significant presence in the “Shopping” tab of google.com. Sure these aren’t “ads,” like the article says, but if they are links to Google Shopping then they indirectly generate revenue for Google by sending you back to google.com.

Agreed... who asked for this?

Their entire business model is [selling advertisements][0], same as Google.

Thanks for the reply! Shoelace does look great, and I recognize doing the form submission this way is a requirement currently. Hopefully the links above about allowing custom WebComponents to act as native form elements will further enable Shoelace.

That’s great, thanks for the links.

Thanks for the link. This library unfortunately highlights further challenges with Web Components like mixing custom WCs with native form elements. To use Shoelace form elements at all, you'll end up writing a bunch of JavaScript.

> Shoelace forms don't make use of action and method attributes and they don't submit the same was as native forms. To handle submission, you need to listen for the slSubmit event as shown in the example below and make an XHR request with the resulting form data.

I have tried multiple times to use DuckDuckGo over the years but used !g so often for programming queries that I questioned why I was forcing myself to use a plainly underperforming (for my use case) product. In other David vs. Goliath stories like Firefox vs. Chrome the competing product had verifiable advantages for me. For DDG the only edge is an unverifiable claim that the company doesn’t track me? Other than that I am resolving myself to a product that performs less well for my use case.

Thank you, I was unaware of this. I found the relevant section in the doc that was linked from your original link:

2. TLDs for Testing, & Documentation Examples

To safely satisfy these needs, four domain names are reserved as listed and described below.

                   .test
                .example
                .invalid
              .localhost

* ".test" is recommended for use in testing of current or new DNS related code.

* ".example" is recommended for use in documentation or as examples.

* ".invalid" is intended for use in online construction of domain names that are sure to be invalid and which it is obvious at a glance are invalid.

* The ".localhost" TLD has traditionally been statically defined in host DNS implementations as having an A record pointing to the loop back IP address and is reserved for such use. Any other use would conflict with widely deployed code which assumes this use.

3. Reserved Example Second Level Domain Names

* example.com

* example.net

* example.org

The team at Amazon improved people's lives, not Jeff Bezos all by himself. Why couldn't there be thousands more millionaires that helped build Amazon rather than one mega billionaire?

> - How much to employees at Duty Free Shoppers (DFS) make?

I have similar thoughts when I hear about the philanthropy of the mega wealthy. Instead of a single person like Chuck Feeney or Mark Zuckerberg or Bill Gates amassing ungodly amounts of wealth and then later choosing how to distribute it, why couldn't the companies they built have made 1,000 or 10,000 or X other people relatively rich instead of one man mega rich?

Maybe one problem with a lot of Wiki software is they make the filetree-like structure seem too important with huge filetree sidebars and constantly make you consider the vastness of your outdated collection of knowledge. Why care if there are really old pages as long as their update times are very apparent?

For our engineering team we've been happy with StackOverflow Teams. Some of the questions are probably just as outdated as the author complains about, but with the design of SO it doesn't matter much. We use tagging heavily and make sure to include keywords in the content of the questions and answers.

One downside of SO Teams is that you are subject to SO's search engine instead of Google or your search engine of choice since your team's pages are private.

High value and highly perishable. Wheat can be stored for years, but the shelf life of your kale/arugula/romaine salad is a matter of days.

“would be better”

There are other inputs to growing outdoors: fertilizer usage, water usage, and insecticide/pesticide usage (likely not an exhaustive list). In a controlled environment like an indoor farm the use of each of those is dramatically less than in traditional farming. It would be worthwhile to include all of the inputs of growing food since light and transportation are not the full list.

(disclosure: I work for an indoor, vertical farming company)

My intuition would be: our "forecasting" solution is never going to be 100% right. Here's an example where it's completely wrong, scrap the "forecast" and get the work done. Don't sleep in the office overnight, don't throw more developers at it; acknowledge no forecasting system ever will get creative work predictions/forecasting correct.

Although wait, what is this?

> In one project my team decided to start pair programming when the time it took to complete a task was in danger of violating our forecast.

They tried to hurry up to stick to the "forecast"? Okay no thanks, not for me.

One difference I see is that there is no consideration of the size or complexity of a "story" or unit of work. Scrum and Agile dictate that you spend tons of time and effort assigning points and shuffling points around to measure your velocity, etc. etc. This post seems to say, forget about points? As long as these stories represent a finite amount of work, the size of that work doesn't matter when forecasting how many more chunks of work will get done in the future.

Agreed, I found this to be the revelatory part of the post. It’s difficult enough in person to try to organize demands from management, I hadn’t considered how much more difficult that will become with a distributed workforce.

I do exactly this too: I have 3 distinctly different themes for the three profiles I use. A split second glance at the color of the tab bar informs me which profile I'm working with.

Been a huge fan of the Roost Stand ever since I got it. There's no heat sink, but there's only four small plastic contact points between the laptop and the stand. My fans are often on when running several Docker containers, but the surface of the top bar never gets that hot.

I have a 2018 13" Macbook Pro.
