Have you tried tree-style tabs, for instance?
For heating, you could bring in a small refrigerator rather than a resistive load. Get something besides heat for your power.
I'm curious, do you not have tons of tabs open? Do you just use a few at a time? A typical day at work will require at least 50+ tabs for each customer that comes in, plus Google/StackOverflow/Slack for whatever I'm researching, not to mention a few SoundCloud/YouTube tabs for music, while browsing Reddit or HackerNews, and then whatever I have racked up to read later. I'm open to another solution though, but can't think of one.

I used the Great Suspender for a few months and thought it was great. Unfortunately, at some point tabs I came back to were 404ed =/ It's also why I switched away from bookmarks to Evernote (and later Bear) so I could capture the page in addition to the address for reference.

I guess I should use it in tandem with that plugin that replaces 404 pages with archive.org links...
In Firefox, the "titles/icons can't be seen any more" state is never reached, because Firefox enforces a minimum width on tabs so that information is always visible. Combined with searching tab titles via "% stuff" in the URL bar, it's a much nicer experience than Chrome, imo. [Disclosure: I'm biased, obviously, since I'm using Firefox and hence more used to it.]

I'd compare it more to bringing a stack of books to your table at the library. Just because you could notate the name and position of each and fetch them as needed doesn't mean it's not helpful to have them all handy. I've never personally used that many tabs for research, but vetting sources often requires taking a look at a lot of different links for any given subtopic.
sorry, the question might have been poorly worded. I just didn't want to use the word "notes" to not bias the answers. I was referring to the process of learning, when you start with a new topic, you learn a lot of things, of which we retain the most important and abstract concepts. But sometimes it helps to write it down, make some notes to come back to, etc... In a way that you can easily get back to follow your footsteps

Opera has supported this abnormal behavior for like two decades now. I remember being shocked by how many tabs the Opera core browsing/rendering engine developers used to have open on their desktops when I joined Opera back in 2004. I guess it was an odd pride thing? :)

To clarify: I am talking about a one-row tab scenario. With about 3-4 pixels per tab. And they were perfectly happy with that. Even seemed to feel it was a good user experience.
"it supported regional languages and printed many books, newspapers and magazines in the languages of its republics."

The big boom in minority-language publishing came in the 1920s and early 1930s, when there were major drives to improve minority-language literacy and translate as a rule higher-education teaching materials into local languages. However, starting from Stalin, minority-language publishing was reduced to little more than a token effort, mostly socialist-realist poetry or fiction and newspapers of exceedingly local concern. Furthermore, the print runs for minority-language books were minuscule, even for very large minorities like the Tatars. It wasn't until glasnost that minority-language publishing took off again.
A couple nice things about SF on this topic:

1. Davis Stirling (Housing related laws) mandates that building associations cannot prohibit owners from installing solar panels. Basically, they have to work with you to find a way and can't just say no.

2. As of this year, SF is the first city to require that all new buildings (10 stories or less) have solar installed.

Thanks for the link. I started reading through that, and it is quite involved. I'm still deciding if it's worth it.

I'm not sure I fully understand subkeys. It looks like they can be used in place of my main key, and I can generate new subkeys from my main key. Is this so I can revoke my subkeys if they are ever compromised? Can other subkeys decrypt my 'pass' files or is that limited to the subkey that generated them? It seems like the existing private key would be able to decrypt passwords in the future even after it was revoked, if the user still had the original files.
It's not like people are suddenly opening up 150 or 1000 tabs due to hyperactivity! :p. I know in my case I just keep my browser open and things tend to just keep going and eventually I have hundreds of tabs open over the course of ... a week? A month? I'm not exactly sure. Occasionally I just shut the browser down and start over.

FWIW, I use safari as my primary browser and it seems to handle many tabs fine, though I'm sure I don't get up to the thousands of tabs that people are reporting. I can't say I've thought about how many tabs it can actually handle, though, as I do eventually clean things up, bookmarking tabs that are actually worth something and discarding the rest.

Sometimes after searching for some time I'll come to something quite arcane that I want to hold on to. (I know this is what bookmarks are for but the UI is so poor here)

Other times I'll find something and think; I'll read that later.

Or. Less often, I'll be recurring into different things looking for solutions to a problem I have. Eventually I'll find something relevant and close the tab that was last opened, I forget the others and they become orphaned in my like of tabs I'll likely never get back to, until my browser crashes hard and I lose everything.

After the mild panic a wave of relief washes over me, and I go about my business hoarding tabs once again.
> digital signatures are also a means of achieving a valid electronic signature as defined in those laws.

If that's the case, then why does the FSF require scanning a printout with a physical signature (as one commenter mentioned) instead of opting for a digital signature of that document?

Does case law pertaining to the laws you cited support the assertion that digital signatures have the same legal meaning as an electronic or physical signature?

> But even though it isn't a perfect system -- 1) It is an improvement over the previous form of paper records, and 2) The industry is iteratively moving to resolve these issues.

NOTE: My comments are only applicable to the US medical industry.

This statement highlights your lack of knowledge about the general EHR/EMR landscape and current implementations. As someone that works parallel to a hospital operation, I both know and interface with people that have to use them on a daily basis and this could not be further from the truth.

EMRs have helped to collect and make more data accessible, this is true, but they are not necessarily an improvement over the previous form of paper records. In most cases, they are simply a different representation of the same data. Take EPIC for example wherein you can search for a patients name but then you are provided with the digital representation of an analogue patient folder and/or chart. I think that most of the people on HN would have their opinion of the medical software landscape changed if they were ever granted the opportunity to use most of the current implementations for only a couple of minutes...

It is also not true that the "industry is iteratively moving to resolve these issues". I was most put aback about 2 years ago when I heard that while every hospital may have EPIC, Cern, etc installations, that none of them are universal. Every hospital will have a customised EHR/MER installation, and therefore custom templates for each doctor, or unit. This means that the installations are almost never updated, or allowed to have new features introduced. In most cases, a patch, or update will require a field tech being sent from the providing company to the hospital where he will work with the onsite customized installation to complete the work.

All in all, it is true that there are people in the field trying to push medical technology forward. Take PatientBank, Sprig, Stitch, etc as evidence that this happening. But what is certainly not true is that the incumbents are pushing to make major changes. Additionally, the regulations with regard to medical software, as well as the legal incentives make it very, very difficult to develop a product, let alone to bring it to market.
Not sure if you're using Chrome or Firefox. I just tested FF 54 by alt-clicking a link. It loads and autoplays the non-active tab. Chrome v59, loads the page but doesn't autoplay until you switch to it. Chrome is my daily driver and I really prefer this behavior.

But recent performance improvements, especially the handling of many, many tabs has me looking at FF again.
Sure, but then you'd have to write a serializer/deserializer for your messages. You could also use an existing one like Bson but then why not just use Protobuf?
Having money in no way whatsoever proves you are the kind of person who believes in egalitarian relationships, respect for women, etc etc etc.

So, if you are rich enough, we no longer care what your personal values are. That makes the entire basis of this service a lie.

I think the service is a crappy idea to begin with, but, hey, I am not the dating app type. It isn't my cup of tea. But then all this talk about making the world a better place and we can't let just anybody in here -- unless, you know, they are willing to fork over $180.

And you don't necessarily have to be super rich to afford that. You need to have some level of comfort and want in bad enough. There is a difference.
I also get tab-induced anxiety. I have to close them and organize them when it gets ~10 or I can't keep browsing.

On the other hand, my desktop is an unorganized mess of random files...
Ask HN: Creative direction as a service?
I've been designing products for large co's and smaller Startups. And I run a design shop. Was thinking of a new service where I would offer creative direction to entrepreneurs for a 250/mo subscription fee.

Basically when ever you need creative / design help, you can ask for directions and advice.

Things like: what colors to use, why your newly codes webpage looks like crap, how to improve the UX of your landing page, etc.

I would then reply in 24h with clear and practical directions that you can pick up and implement.

Question is, would this service be helpful?
keep up with the good job!
For me its a linear view of how I got somewhere when I'm doing exploratory research. Usually a tree of tabs (I use side tabs) will start with a google search, then go to a site, then another site, then another. When I find something interesting and think "how did I get here again?" and I can just glance at my open tabs.

This context is useful if I get sidetracked/distracted by a coworker, so I can retrace why I was looking at a certain page.
Do you have to enable it? I use Firefox Nightly, and have been observing this behavior for a long, long time. It's one of those things that's so minor and yet so important that I wonder how I went without it for so long.
It looks nice and all... but what can I do with it? Citing Paul Graham[0] You Need an Application to Drive the Design of a Language.

What is the use case here?

"These cheap inverters have most of the same safeties as the UL 1703 certified variety"

I've seen inside enough cheap chinese power equipment to know that is most likely not true.
AS a patient, I like Kaiser's EHR system -- the doctor talks to me, then pauses as he documents on the computer from time to time - he doesn't type while we talk. That doesn't seem noticeably worse than him staring at his clipboard while I'm talking with him.

But the part I really like is that I have access to most test results online.

And since Kaiser is a self-contained HMO and doesn't generally do referrals outside of their system, interoperability isn't really an issue -- when I get referred to a Kaiser specialist or move to a new area and start seeing a new doctor, I know they'll have access to my records.

In a previous system, I had to see a specialist, and though they requested that my original doctor transfer all records, not all of the records were sent and I ended up having to reschedule an appointment so I could pick up the missing records and take with with me.
> If that's the case, then why does the FSF require scanning a printout with a physical signature (as one commenter mentioned) instead of opting for a digital signature of that document?

I dunno, ask the FSF what their reasoning is. Among the numerous plausible explanations is that they are concerned about laws in some non-US jurisdictions, or that they haven't expended resources examining other options.

> Does case law pertaining to the laws you cited support the assertion that digital signatures have the same legal meaning as an electronic or physical signature?

I didn't assert that case law made digital signatures equivalent to electronic signatures (in fact, I explicitly pointed to one way in which it is possible for a digital signature to fail to meet the similar requirements in UETA and E-SIGN for an electronic signature.)
> You couldn’t give a Model 3 away in Chennai or Bangalore. From wheel size to suspension to charging to structural integrity, no Tesla would survive, at any price. They’re not designed to.

so in a way you guys are "microblogging" the knowledge right?
No its an advisory service. Im used to designing the UI and UX at a much higher price point. The idea here is to offer a cheaper package where I would provide instructions on how to diy.
The first example, it seems like we need a better UI for bookmarks. Something that allows you to organize and quickly search them (url, title and even maybe page content).

For the second, we all do that, but again, the optimal thing there would be to have some extension or tool that keeps track of your "to read" list.

As for tabs stacking when you're looking for a solution, that's generally what my comment referred to. I know somewhere in those 20 tabs, there's one for the documentations to the function I'm trying to use, but it's honestly faster to search for it again than look at those 20 tabs for it.
Montreal to Brooklyn. Not as bad as it sounds: You walk a few blocks to the Metro station, take that downtown, walk to the train station. Take the train to Grand Central Terminal. Then the subway to a stop a few blocks from your destination. Total blocks walked about ten.

The train ride was though some very beautiful country. Crossing the border took a while but wasn't onerous. No wi-fi at that time but if you had a good book or some offline work to be about it was great.
I hesitate to say that Chrome leaks memory because of what you're seeing. Webpages have exploded in size over the years (both with high dpi images, css, and javascript). I'm not sure I have quite as many tabs as you, but I generally work the same way (window per topic, tens of tabs per window).

Would a plugin like The Great Suspender fix your problem? I really liked that you could collapse a page of tabs into a collection of bookmarks and open a new page of those tabs just as easily.
I'm actually surprised that no one mentioned this sooner. It's too bad that this isn't an option for most other legal documents that one has to submit in a lot of situations.

You can bookmark tab groups (at least in Firefox) that's what I do to save a session.
I agree, it's incredibly overused
I'm torn between thinking it's time to switch back to Firefox, and thinking I need to avoid Firefox at all costs, because the slowdown when Chrome gets over 100+ tabs is the only thing keeping my browser windows remotely navigable.

You know what I really want? A way to attach titles to browser windows. This window is "Games", this one is for "Books", this one is for my current "Work" task, this one is "Research" on the new doohickey I'm thinking of buying...
I feel the same way - it bothers me to have tabs open that I'm not actively working on (or, I feel like I need to actively remember the context of all my tabs). When I get to 12 or so I close any tab that I don't feel like I'll want to return to in the next hour.
There's also the fact that, for high level languages like python, the gRPC server has lower throughput than available python http servers. Even with the overhead of parsing http and whatever message format you're sending over it.
If you have a traditional electromechanical meter, that should normally be able to run backwards, with electronic meters, it depends.
Getting nervous because your computer starts slowing down or swapping because of the number of tabs open, or because you can't read the tab titles or see the favicons anymore? Firefox doesn't have those problems. ;)
Worth noting that average page size has ballooned ~5× in that same time period.

IMHO that would be a legitimate use of the award.

I have never opened 1000tabs in chrome but I can manage 100-200. I've noticed that a lot of this responsivness comes down to extensions. If you have only one bad extension it kill the performance of chrome. Another thing are ads ofc or sites with lots of (poorly written) javascript, but with ublock origin Chrome works fine for me.

Also by 200 the GUI of chrome starts to annoy me so much that it forces me to close some stuff. I've tried a few extensions to deal with this but I've chosen to keep it clean and below this threshold instead.
