I just have a shortcut for launching with the -P (Profile) and -new-process options.

other the copy/paste the url? I'm not aware of one..though, that's not very 'seamless' :-) The whole idea is that profiles are totally separate - separate process, config, etc.

Don't forget, you can still use multiple profiles. I have multiple shortcuts setup, each starting FF with a different profile. Within a profile, I use containers to further partition things. edit: for instance, I have a 'banking&

I use different profiles for that... basically, I have multiple Firefox shortcuts, each using a different profile. You can also use containers with the profile to segregate things even more.

Dunno why the down votes...I thought it was funny.. needed some line noise at the end though :-P (A perl one-liner should do nicely!)

I've found this interesting for a while - the #1 richest DOGE address contains 28% of the coins. The transaction pattern for this account was also weird..it started off with multi-million dollar deposits, but is now doing deposits of

I reached the same conclusion... Sales/Marketing/etc. were bad enough. But collections was a royal PITA. Much nicer to work thru a firm and not deal with all that. Bonus is I get better benefits.

I'm no fan of discord or Slack...but the fact that companies are using slack, and the slack 'threading' is sooo bad, drive me bonkers...

except people routinely pay more then their 'utility' value..so its just as easy to lose money. Not sure what the 'utility' of funco pops are, or the scrap value (same with stamps IIRC - many of them aren't even va

>>the transactions were very slow and fees were massive compared to everything else I gotta admit, this is my biggest issue with crypto. So far, it's just too slow/expensive to be attractive to me as a day to day tool.

No different then 'collecting' funko pops, spoons, sneakers, comic books, and a host of other things and hoping they increase in value.

simple analogy was simple.. Would you prefer comparing it to gold ? Art ? collecting sneakers ? or Comic books ? how about buying land ? Edit: I should probably clarify..People buy/collect lots of things in the _HOPE_ they'll incr

for 1.. I'd say it was a trend...just a much smaller one. I've been 100% WFH in tech for 20 years, and it got easier every year even before covid. What you had to predict, wasn't the pandemic but what tech would be hot enoug

Bitcoin is generally considered a 'store of value' rather then a day to day 'currency'... Sorta like a savings bond vs a credit card And a few years back, before the transaction fees got so high - there were a few places

My Dad used to do a 'trick' where he would zero out a 6 decimal place readout on the big ground glass comparator.. You could then move the table anywhere you wanted in X/Y, cover the display, and he would bring it back to 0.0

My Dad made the screws for screw compressors back in the 70-90s... He primarily worked for joy/lovejoy, but also made screws for ingersall and a few others. It was amazing to me how small the screws were for say, a shopping mall unit..

My dad was making circular screw compressors back in the 70s and 80s... I would think most of this stuff would have prior art...

The one I saw back in the early 00s walked off the end of the conference table it was being shown off on :-) Perhaps its gotten better at walking since then...I mean, roomba's can avoid edges - so robot dogs should too, right?

heh - they are cute...And after watching mini-cheetahs do backflips, the no jumping thing can seem limited. Supposedly we'll be seeing some chinese mini-cheetah clones soon at around $2k. That would make them quite a bit cheaper then

yeah - It sounded like she didn't realize how far back the aibo's go.. Though, the original Aibo's were supposed to have some AI and even cloud functions - learned behaviors and online 'journals' and pictures.

Aibo is coming back? I haven't seen one in like 20 years ... I thought Sony stopped making them. First released in 1999 [1]! Wow..time flies 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AIBO

Might just be a bit of burnout. I've been a professional programmer for almost 50 years. I love it. But every 10 years or so, I fantasize about throwing all the computers out the window and doing something totally non-tech. Usually

Yeah, I hear ya. But maybe having made a decision and some concrete plans will make you feel a bit better? Also, maybe doing more things outside of work will help? Try to talk with family more often or spend more time on hobbies you enjoy
