   One thing that's been working well for me for years: just use separate browsers for separate things. Firefox, FireFox Nightly. It takes little time for you to understand the context(you see the icon or browser and know exactly what &qu

   I built something to take periodic screenshots of Electron apps while discarding duplicates. Sadly I never got around to building more Electron apps, so it's not feature complete (I intended it to have more options). But the basic peri

   Is it really a good FAQ if it doesn't explain _what_ it is as top level info? What is this? There are no links to the original product (or whatever it is - hardware? Software? OS?) either in the first few minutes of navigation.

   Most of its usage is on platforms where engagement is how they make money. Any kind of engagement. Considering flamewars, nitpicking and arguments are goldmines that capture user attention, it's in the platform's best interest to

    Can you elaborate, what's it supposed to behave like?

    With the exception that the reputed brands may just be the Chinese ones but rebranded. Iirc there was an article where someone purchased a port of some kind from multiple brands but they were all the same under the hood.

    I shudder thinking of how it would be if passport issuance was handed over to the highest private bidder. Intuit already disgusts me with the tax shenanigans, can't imagine passports...

    Hi OP! It would be nice to have some examples to go with the article. Some set of minimum data and sample "lineage" etc. This has broadened my perception of data though, I never linked this with the good old thermodynamic principl

    You set out to do something for an hour. You're distracted by something else, taking away a portion of that hour. More distractions, more time taken away. Replace time there with attention, resources, focus, effort, etc. That's th

    This was my idea when I built Electron-vLog: automated screenshots of whatever Electron app I'm building right now whenever I run it, so that I can stitch images together later and watch the evolution. If there's no change from
