We could also look at simpler ways of living. Simply not using that much energy. Politically that's a suicide move (to promote), but it can happen on a grassroots level. Housing policy for example would need to change. People should be

Does anyone here know how to change the keyboard shortcut to focus the URL bar on Firefox? I'd like to map it to Cmd+D instead of Cmd+L since it's (Alt+D) been in my muscle memory since forever. It's the main reason that keep

This is what I do, since counts should cause minimal overhead (I've never had to deal with huge databases). But neither does the N+1 records trick which OP describes, that's clever. :)

Which subreddit the result is found on is inconsistent - it's in some titles, in others not. So it doesn't really stand out and oftentimes that's an important piece of information. The subreddit could be listed on its own lin
