Yes and it's color coded so you know what container each tab is associated to. By default all tabs are in the default container. You can long-press the + tab icon to select what container the new tab belongs to (I believe this is FF58+

I really like container tabs (you have to enable them in about:config - privacy.userContext.enabled and privacy.userContext.ui.enabled). It allows me to have multiple AWS accounts open at the same time without having 2 different browsers o

You'd be surprised how opinionated people can get about editors. Just because an expert is using text editor X doesn't mean it's the best editor for you to use.

This is a pretty cool little comic. It'd be cool if they were mention how the DNS caches these values in order to make them more accessible to people resolving them later but then again this isn't supposed to be _super_ technical.

While I agree, to a certain point (depends on the width), not everyone likes this.

Every time someone complains about file formats I bring up a similar story. It's hard to believe fixed width files are still being used today. Parsing these kind of files with 45 million records, each 600+ bytes is a huge pain. I chuck

As steven_braham pointed out, every language has a (almost) clear winner framework. I'd use the one in the language you're most comfortable and familiar with. For example, there's no reason to use RoR if you're already f

Postman's links would replace the response of your request instead of opening in a new tab/window and you would lose the entire response body. This was incredibly annoying and caused me look for alternatives. It came down to Paw o

At the end of the day content accuracy is _a lot_ more important than content layout. There is nothing more frustrating than trying to follow the guidelines of an API Documentation and not being able to make the request you want. My suggest

Snapchat uses linked-listed to keep track of who you're going to send a snap to. Internet routers use queues to create a buffer of packets that have yet to be processed. Postgres uses trees or hashes to create table indices for faster

You can use Pingdom[1] to make regular requests over a period of time and have it alert you whenever it fails. I would also suggest an error reporting tool such as Sentry[2] to keep track of common errors and why a request might have failed

Pretty neat! One suggestion I'd make is to make the animation a bit slower or allow custom speeds to be set. It's currently a little to fast for my taste.

I wish more SaaS companies followed Slack's "Fair billing" policy[1] where you get charged per actual usage rather than subscribed usage. For example, if you're subscribed for 16 members but 4 of those members took a 1 w

I understand that you're trying to follow the pricing model of other Slack Apps, but the functionality you provide isn't worth the price you're asking. Most of the Slack Apps that charge money have another platform backing up

While true, accomplishing the scale that WhatsApp did with 50 employees is significantly harder and more impressive than being able to serve the same kind of traffic with 1,000 employees building the infrastructure to support such feat.

I'd say it depends what you're focusing on. If you're doing anything that is multi-threading, then yes. Otherwise, it's just not something you'd use but probably interesting to know ;)
