Firefox on Android has an option to auto-close tabs after a while, I have that set to "close after a day" to keep things tidy.

Yep, I use this to get vimium-FF on Fennec. It's a little fiddly to setup but it's just another item on the long list of tweaks to make Android tolerable.

Thanks. I've been using other browser extensions for this, doing it from ublock origin is a good idea, will simplify things.

What I am looking for is control over the results. Personalized blacklists and lists of sites to be (de)prioritized and also the ability to subscribe to community curated versions of the same. And to be clear I want to be able to control th

> There are no longer "organic" content on the internet There is plenty of "organic" content, probably more than ever before. But there is also 100x more junk and Google is no longer good at surfacing the right stuff.

I know you gotta start somewhere but just Apple and Commodore is a very narrow focus. There was so much more out there.

"infinitesimal risk" would be something that is unlikely to happen once in a million years or even the lifetime of the planet which is clearly not the case. It's "acceptable risk" or "justifiable risk" at

It would be hard to get the full fq functionality that way. How would you encode the data in a way so that you can do both: .frames[100].header.sample_rate for the individual field and .frames[100].header|tobytes[:0x10] fo

procedure vs function is weird too. And the period required at the end of the program. I remember learning Pascal and C around the same time coming from BASIC and assembly and Pascal didn't seem particularly easier only more verbose. N

10 years ago was about the time when they first moved to Cassandra and that was a pretty rough period. Lots of rose tinted glasses around here. Reddit has had plenty of stability and scaling problems during the early years.

Turn off the "show trending subreddits on the home feed" flag in your preferences and you will get exactly what you described.

The fact that old.reddit.com continues to be available suggests that they did.

We've had that before (mainframes, punch cards), it's not that great.

It was the easiest to do since that's the format used by the DOS API calls for getting and setting the mtime.

zsh has a short form for for loops too: for i in *.pdf; echo $i Shorter than the fish version. Does that mean that it's a better shell then?

Same for me, the ability to offload the most frequently used keys (space, return, backspace, shift, ctrl/meta/super) from the pinkies to the thumbs is probably the greatest benefit of a good split design (Datahand in my case)

The post is predicting something with a "hybrid e-ink capable of color multimedia" and "melding multi-touch+Pixel Qi Screen". We didn't get that in 2010. We got a large iPhone.

That helped but not always. alt.games.gb which used to be a group for Galactic Bloodshed got overrun by Gameboy posts at some point. And there was a time period when gnu.emacs.help got some posts related to Apple's eMac line.

Yeah, hard to get them nowadays. They never made very many of them and the remaining ones are 20 years old now. There have been attempts to re-create it over the years, getting the switches to feel as good as the originals is probably the m

The Titan Pocket has a 4000mAh battery. Small devices tend to have different use patterns since they are less suited for watching movies or playing games. I charge mine every other night but I think it can get through 3-4 days if needed.

The Titan Pocket is pretty great, just make sure you understand how small the screen is compared to what you may be used to. It works well enough for many use cases but it's basically unusable for most modern games. Which can be a wort

Depends on what you are looking for. Sliders are nice in that they have larger keyboards and screens but the downside is that you have to slide out the keyboard in order to use it. Candybar keyboards are always on hand. If you prefer the c

Datahand keyboards used to cost $500-$1000 depending on the model and time of purchase.

Making changes to my .emacs never causes unexpected behavior. It does what I tell it to do. Looking through my .emacs I really can't think of anything that would cause the chaotic behavior you describe. And the only revert I see in the

Back in the day I started out with the "Emacs Lisp Intro" also known as "An Introduction to Programming in Emacs Lisp" that comes with Emacs. I remember printing it out and devouring it before going to sleep. It looks li

Assuming that you are talking about Go, I don't know where you are getting that from. Go has had excellent tooling from early on. Standard code formatting with gofmt from day 1 was HUGE. godoc, godef, goimports and oracle were also ava

Very different experience for me, working with Go using Emacs has been pretty smooth sailing from day one (which for me was around the Go 1.0 release). go-mode with godef, goimports and oracle was great during the early years. I remember te
