>One thing that kind of interests me is that every now and then I spot someone with a ridiculous number of tabs open. [...] Maybe commenting on their poor organizational skills,

I often hover above 50+ tabs open. Every week or so, I catch up enough on the backlog to close some tabs and reduce it to less than 10. But I soon head down another rabbit hole of internet research and it's back up to 50+ open tabs again.

The bookmarks UI has extra friction because is a separate area that I don't want to "manage" and that effort isn't worth it unless the webpage is promoted in my mind to "reference status". Having dozens of open tabs is just an easier and a more seamless experience. I often cycle through open tabs with Ctrl+PgUp and Ctrl+PgDn similar to cycling through active windows with Alt-Tab. Bookmarks UI don't have a "cycle" mode.

Another problem with booksmarks is that the bookmark_links are not open. The booksmarks manager UI only show the title of the webpage but not what full page rendering is. Titles are often meaningless.

Of course, I could manually type in a better title when saving the bookmark... or... just simply not close the tab and consider it part of a "queue" to read later in a few hours or days. It's lazier and easier. Plus the full page already completely rendered visually reminds me why I wanted to read it later. Bookmarks UI obscure the _why_.

For the webpages I consider as reference material, I do bookmark those. E.g. weather page for a specific zipcode or a specific Youtube channel.

Examples of webpages being categorized into different mental organization buckets:

level 1: throwaway content: a trail of leaving a bunch of active tabs open is easier to get to than the friction of navigating the bookmarks UI

level 2: reference material that changes: bookmarks for things like weather page, current US Treasury yields, etc. Bookmarks are also useful for syncing/import/export across devices since bookmarking services sync at the level of "bookmarks" and not "open tabs".

level 3: reference material archived: webpage saved locally as .MHTML or .PNG -- to ensure I have a copy even if the url is lost from digital rot. Others might use Evernote or Zotero to archive webpages.

I do agree that Chrome squishing the tabs into tiny vertical slices makes it harder to use. I wish they had an option to show open tabs list in a dock on the side. This would work well for widescreen monitors since many webpages would show useless whitespace on the sides when the browser is full screen.

> Hyperinflation is too long ago to remember.

Germans use cash much more than the average Western European. The memory of hyperinflation and bank system collapse is one of the explanations why people prefer to store value in currency (often foreign currency) and not trust so much a bank or card issuer.

> Chase charges $25 per month to keep an open checking account

This is just a ""feature"" of the backwards American system, plenty of countries still mostly have free current accounts. Although the very low interest rates are definitely putting pressure on banks to try to find ways to charge people.

Yeah, I never understood the pasta spoon thing either. I just don't see how it helps anything when you can simply use the plate as a backstop for the fork to roll the pasta correctly and not have hanging strands.

Apparently in Italy, the spoon rolling technique is only used by children.
The problem is that in some industries (food processing for example), alternatives are in many cases forbidden. Crush traps can leave a mess and contaminate things if animals are just wounded, poison - well that's clear I guess, and live traps is the same as keeping live animals on premise, which is not allowed.
>Ironically...

It's not ironic - fee-free cash withdrawals from credit cards are exceptions, not the norm.

But I am very surprised that you need debit for all your in-person purchases: normally at least the more expensive ones (i.e. eating out, big shopping) can go through a credit card. Vendors in the UK only seem to object to high fees - chargebacks aren't made out to be a big issue.
To clarify: the paper does not claim a list with email addresses is made public or anything of the sort. Only that they can be queried without restriction or authentication.

Once again, it's not about brute listing things. It's about knowing a 3PID from another source, like a dump of email/phone number on the darkweb which can then be used to query for a mapped Matrix ID. Or simply an email given for another purpose to the same server.

It is all fun and games until you start correlating data sets, like claudius points out correctly with other public lists.
>If you try to use functionality that the target format doesn't support (e.g. layers on PNG) then GIMP should display a warning dialog about it, perhaps with an option to save as a XCF instead (but not default on it).

That's way more annoying than the current GIMP implementation. I sometimes export the same image a lot of times (to work on reducing gif file size etc.) It's very convenient that I can have a master XCF copy and one-click export without any additional dialogs.

Also JPG is a lossy format, so it doesn't support even saving a one-layer file correctly. Do you really want a supposed "photo editor" to warn people every time they export to JPG?
I’m just wondering if it can parse things like « pls-no-spam at google’s email service », which a human can easily parse to pls-no-spam@gmail.com. I suppose POS tagging with some heuristics can get it working for a few cases.

And if it can, I feel the most users for this would be email harvesting spam bots. Which would not be super nice. Although in ideal and less common scenarios it could actually be useful for IR purposes.
I know people were not just allowed to go to university. A friend of mine crossed into West Germany in 1989. He wouldn't have been allowed to study in East Germany. He then studied Mathematics in West Germany.

A friend from Poland told me how everything had seemed hopeless and she had no real perspective for her future life, until "the miracle happened" (her words) and borders and restrictions were lifted.

I think the friends you have may have been from very privileged circles in those countries, if their memories are so positive.

Childcare, I also mentioned the background: women were supposed to contribute their share of work for the common good. Meanwhile they had to give their kids to the childcare to start with their early indoctrination.

Health Care: sure, it is a good idea. But I don't think the people who were sent to Siberia or the coal mines received good health care. So at the end of the day, it wasn't really free for everybody, just for the people who sucked up to the system. Which is also a price.

I think it may be you who is the ideologue here.

Yeah, it would be useful for browsers to remember a set of tabs as a session.

Then it would be easy to "temp close" tabs when one activity is done. But get back to it when needing to context shift back to that activity.

Your ruler cares about sovereignty.

If your national government cares at all about sovereignty, it will force you to use bitcoin by rule of law / force. Countries like Venezuela, Turkey, and Argentina with struggling currencies are under the mercy of the US petrodollar. A move to BTC would end their hyper inflation.

Most people are too self centered to realize the political/ economical implications of BTC. The most likely case will be that nothing changes in our day to day, except that our currency is now backed by BTC instead of US debt.
I am not talking about States at all, States are governed by their own constitutions.

Nor I am talking about the 10th amendment, while ti does play a part so to the Body of the Constitution, which Article one Section 8 provides a list of powers granted to the Federal Government, and the 9th amendment also plays a role, many people forget about the 9th

Further you are simply proving Madison correct, Madison was opposed to the bill of rights because he believed they were unnessarty and a danger. the first 10 amendments forbid the government from doing things they did not have any power to do in the first place. Madison correctly observed that by including them it would give the appearance of enumerated rights, it would give people like you the idea that if it was not forbidden by the bill of rights then it was fair game.

>What in the Constitution (before 1865) prevents the US states from each being authoritarian governments?

Their own individual constitutions, which each state has some better than others, most are not followed as written just like the Federal Constitution is not

>>And on the topic of liberty - racists in the 1960s wanted the 'liberty' to reject black customers

Well that is revisionist history, Jim Crow laws where government mandates not voluntary actions by individuals

>just like homophobes want the 'liberty' to reject gay customers) and considered it a Constitutionally protected right.

Freedom of Association is an important right. The proper response to those businesses it to boycott and create competing for a business to drive them out, not to force them to transact with you. I have never really understood why people support that. If there is a business that hates me I would rather they were upfront about it so I can give my money to a business that wants me as a customer, I do not need the government to force them to do business with me, which they will likely give me poor service and I will walk away with a product or service I am not satisfied with

The problem with the Jim Crow area was segregation was mandated by government and no boycotts or competing businesses were possible

>Is that part of the respect for liberty you think we have lost?

Entire Books have been written on the liberty we have lost, from the War on Drugs to the War on Terror, to countless other actions by the government to chip chip chip away at liberty in the name of Safety or "For the children" or countless other justifications

I just have to link to my blog post on browser tabs:

Citation? As far as I know, there is no limit for paying cash in Germany. To fight crime, you have to show an ID if the amount is 10.000€ or more. In some other European countries, there are limits for paying with cash, but I don‘t think it applies to Germany at the time of writing.
Agreed. And, there is a lot of dishonesty when it comes to how childcare money is spent. Case in point: My parents received about 100000 EUR in disability care money over the 14 years I was living at home. In that time, my family didn't go on a single holiday trip or anything like that. While I wasn't treated poorly, I also never saw any of that disability money used towards me. The truth is, my father spent it all for alcohol and things I probably dont want to know.
And nobody ever evaluated if the money was spent on me. There is a lot to do when it comes to regulating how parents receive funding from the general public.

Another case in point: Someone we know is having their third child with the third father, and openly admits she does this so she can live off the childcare money. She doesn't particular care for her children, they are partly shoved off to her grandmother. She uses her cildren as a source of income. And she is not alone.
I long ago lost the remotest interest in who wins a baseball/tennis/football/olympic game, as it's meaningless. I know people get all wrapped around the axle on who wins, and the ludicrous propaganda of "medal counts" in the Olympics. But it's not for me.

I have found it interesting to write software to play chess for me. The last few times I tried to play chess, my mind would just drift off designing a program to do it so I wouldn't have to bother.

I don't play video games, either. It takes about 3 minutes for one to bore me to tears. Part of that is I had a job in college testing video games - that sure ruined it for me.

The universe is full of puzzles that mean something to solve. Why not work on those instead? Why would those be less interesting than a contrived set of rules?

I try to teach my mother how GUIs work and it's really hard. It's hard enough to teach her that pressing "X" closes the window, but then she opens something like a web browser and it has "X" on every tab, which gets her confused. And worst of all, she can have email client on top of the web browser, which adds additional "X" to think about.
Having a bank also means having security, reversibility and a whole host of other great things. Bitcoin cannot compete on this.
Sanitising user input seems a good use-case too - I'd like it built in to my email client, for example.

I think this really hits the nail of why I am a tab-collector. If we could store “state” as part of the bookmark instead of just a URL that would go a long way.

But additionally, discoverability of bookmarks is also lacking, flipping through tabs is fast and easy but in order to do that with bookmarks you have to know what the domain and title of a page is/was. If you could “preview” a bookmark then it might help a fair bit.
Feels like there's a piece of the story missing:

>> our government is elected by the people and so regardless of what we allow them to do, as long as it doesn't affect the ability of people to fairly vote for their representation

It is though? I make the case that is not. A large amount of the population is disenfranchised either legally or by virtue of not having any person they feel represents them due to the nature of the 2 party system

The vast majority of people that do vote today are voting AGAINST someone, i.e "I don't like Trump but I really do not like Clinton" or "I do not like Clinton but I really do not like Trump"

The way our elections are held is a farce and more people every year are simply opting at believing it is a waste of time, and a few studies show it is a waste of time as the politicians do not really listen to the will of the people anyway

There are multiple ways to improve the system. Doing away with First Past the post voting would go along way. I also support removing party affiliation from the ballot. People need to vote for individuals not parties

I have other but none of them will ever be enacted

Pretty simple is relative. I deploy python applications to cloud instances using docker through a git push based ci/cd setup. It works great, and I think it’s simple. But if I have to explain to an analyst how to use 3 different platforms and 5 or so tools to replicate what he currently gets by clicking “publish to RStudio connector” in the top right of his code, it seems obvious that’s not even close to being comparable.

To the OP: I would suggest normalising the protocol. Your examples show that you retain the case from the raw data:

"protocol": "HTTP"
"protocol": "https"

As it stands, users will end up normalising by themselves and you can save them the effort. FWIW this part is typically called the scheme, not protocol (e.g. Perl has `URI::Find::Schemeless` which performs a similar task)

URI = scheme:[//authority]path[?query][#fragment]

See https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-3

To that end, you might also want to consider adding support for fragments. :)
Most JavaScript-related threads I see on HN feature at least a handful of comments from people who will avow that e.g. the npm ecosystem is hot garbage. Seems to me that it is broke and needs fixed.
Tell me more about the exponentially increasing pollution/costs of printing money, please.

Tell me more about strawman arguments.

I specifically alleged that "proof of work" is a bad idea.
I think you're being disingenuous. Bitcoin is fundamentally different from all of those other things in that it is deliberately designed to be as inefficient as possible. Proof of Work is a Red Queen's Race[0] where the difficulty keeps escalating and you have to keep pumping in more energy or else risk somebody else executing a 51% attack against you.

Not only do miners and printers work to make their processes more efficient and cheaper, but once the gold coins are minted or paper money is printed, they can be used for N transactions at extremely low cost per-transaction. Contrast this with bitcoin where EVERY SINGLE TRANSACTION has to be bundled in a block, so every single transaction involves more energy than an average household uses in a week[1].

Imagine burning a whole tank of gasoline to pay for a cup of coffee and you'll start to see why Bitcoin is an ecological atrocity.

The price is heavily manipulated and volatile, most of the volume appears to be fake, and the only major 'use' anyone is making of it is speculation.

Also it hasn't gone up consistently, it's still at around 50% of its peak almost two years ago.
I think it's equivalent to having books open to a page and set to the side of a work area.

Whereas a browser bookmark is like it's analog cousin, a mark stuck in the book and returned to the shelf.

Tabs allow for better singular focus than stacked windows. I use desktop workspaces/multiple desktops in much the same way I use tabs. If I have multiple monitors, I'll put a group of related applications together in a workspace, but rarely will I put more than a single application on a monitor.

Eg editor on one screen, terminal on the next and a browser (UI work) or DB interface on the 3rd. Which is the same way I organize my kitchen when cooking. Recipe on one side, prep in the middle, output on the other.
Is this some joke i didn't understood? The linked project doesn't look like it was created by Microsoft or GitHub. Is the author working at Microsoft?

I'm not sure about this.

I have no sleeping disorder but track my sleep via Fitbit. It helps me plan my sleep. So for example, if I find that I have not slept enough for the night I make sure I retire early the next day. Also, the days I find I have not had enough sleep I don't go for my morning runs so as to avoid injury. Of course relying on body's own signals would do the job but I find that the trackers augment the process.

In my experience my quality of life has increased because of sleep tracking.
Tidyverse is so overrated that I don't even know where to start... sure dplyr is nice to use if you're working interactively and ggplot2 has good first principles as the basis of its design, but that's about as far as the tidyverse niceness goes. The apis, the documentation, the inconsistencies (on a language level, between tidy packages and within each package), the problems with backwards compatibility, the evaluation (standard vs non-standard vs tidyeval) - it's a big mess.

If you're writing code that's deployed in any way, it's best to avoid the tidyverse as much as possible. This is also acknowledged to some extent by the main developer - https://www.tidyverse.org/articles/2018/06/tidyverse-not-for...
