Hi all, I submitted this to spur a discussion, not that I necessarily agree or disagree with the argument or to start a flame war. Please avoid comments likely to lead to TFA getting flagged.

Do you actually use the feature much? From my experience I want to pin tabs because I simply want a set of tab available for use that remain visible when I scroll through a lot of tab headers to the right. It's very annoying to be on

How does this affect Trump's chances of ... ahem, getting the peace prize? I though he and his followers said he was anti-war? Oh yup, this is probably just a "special military operation"

It seems they have listened to users and allow pinned tabs to navigate to any url. Initially this is how pinning worked, and along the way they changed it so that if you navigated to a different domain from the one you pinned, it opened in

Don't really agree here. The point against him is thinking in a very shallow way that stopping ad block means bringing in so much, which I guess is true in a certain basic level, but ignores how shitty that would contribute to making t

It's only Firefox that is never satiated with however much memory I throw at it. Any time my machine slows, the solution is to kill Firefox. Not sure what exactly they are doing wrong.

Hell no, the amount of problems caused by people half-assing everything they do is enormous. The write fails to take onto account that the question of just how much effort us required is often highly subjective. It's more a matter of v

Nah, I've now resolved to never use it, it'd a total time waster. When it works it's decent, but it does not work like half of time for me.

Cool visualization, but I also noticed the switch from SI units to imperial. From micrometers to inches, which was jarring and hard for me to compare. I'd suggest keeping the SI unit , or at least having both once we get to the level o

Exactly, usually the companies know what's coming up, like you said. But, properly shifting gears to play a new game requires that you act like a startup again. It likely requires foregoing the fat margins you were used to. And it like

Does it really matter? In this case, it is the perception that matters. If companies feel that AI is not quite as helpful as they thought it might, even if they have not maxed out what they theoretically could do with it, then that is all
