> Have you ever wondered why VCR clocks always showed 12:00 and were never set

Not really. It's the same reason idle microwaves also "always" show 00:00.

> public conciseness

That was possibly an autocorrecto for "public consciousness", but I like how well it still applies.

Same here. You might been interested in learning about the lace lock[0] as well, if you haven't already.

No idea what Edge's vertical tabs look like, but I like vertical tabs in Firefox because it lets you have simultaneously on screen a ton of open tabs without reducing the tab's size.

I don't care about the loss of horizontal space most of the time. I have a 16:9 screen and most web pages grow vertically anyway.

As a matter of fact I use a vertical Windows taskbar as well, since it lets me have many applications open while still displaying their window titles. It's not usual for me to have 5 file explorer windows open, and their taskbar buttons won't combine.

Now imagine if someone could control an implant installed on a Mars probe.

Stupid speed of light, making it lag so much.

Surely this isn't true for local branches on your machine? I hope you're not living under such a dystopia.

Oh, FFS. Would it be that hard for them to have an option of displaying both icons and text?

In fact, I think that's how it worked before.

When I click in the address bar, it's because I want to edit the URL. If I want to go somewhere else, I'll open a new tab, or use a bookmark, or click a link on a page. In the rare case that I want to type a whole new URL, but keep the same tab, I can easily triple-click or [Cmd]+A before I begin typing.

I'm with you on this. But to me the worst annoyance is how it tends to revert to a previous URL when the new URL fails to load, either because it truly failed to load due to an error or because it timed out while I'm walking through breakpoints.

When I manually entered a URL, the edit should stick even if it doesn't load, dammit.

> The position of commas in the rgb array are triggering me

You mean:

    {
      "colors": [
        { "color": "black"  , "hex": "#000", "rgb": [   0,   0,   0 ] },
        { "color": "red"    , "hex": "#f00", "rgb": [ 255,   0,   0 ] },
        { "color": "yellow" , "hex": "#ff0", "rgb": [ 255, 255,   0 ] },
        { "color": "green"  , "hex": "#0f0", "rgb": [   0, 255,   0 ] },
        { "color": "cyan"   , "hex": "#0ff", "rgb": [   0, 255, 255 ] },
        { "color": "blue"   , "hex": "#00f", "rgb": [   0,   0, 255 ] },
        { "color": "magenta", "hex": "#f0f", "rgb": [ 255,   0, 255 ] },
        { "color": "white"  , "hex": "#fff", "rgb": [ 255, 255, 255 ] }
      ]
    }

Are you talking about the page's background?

I'm seeing a bird perched on a tree. It probably varies according to time of day.

It's called (wait for it) Reader View.

I was expecting people making silly puns around the word "sound".

Every morning I empty my bowels while playing Filling. Or the occasional Range or Light Up.

It's funny because we can't tell whether your comment is sarcastic or not.

I like to think you've done it on purpose.

Here's hoping your screwups in production become less regular. :)

I have both, and while I haven't used Sidebery as much as I should (since I've known and become accustomed to TST first), I can say at least this: Sidebery has tabs groups. These display as icons to the side of the tab tree, and when you select one it will show the tree of tabs in that group only.

> I started putting defense mechanisms everywhere

Just weeks ago, the software I had just finished writing complained to me at first run that I had forgotten to configure a setting. Defensive coding ftw.

Your best work can be done while not at your desk. Don't mind taking frequent breaks.

I'm also a fan of https://acko.net/blog/animate-your-way-to-glory-pt2/ [WebGL heavy]

That doesn't really answer the question though.

It's up to the browser implementers how they do tables, and they certainly could go ahead and cater to common cases in this area. As user agents, it's the browsers' job to be helpful to the user regardless of what the HTML looks like.

For example, nothing in HTML talks about having a search prompt appear on Ctrl+F, yet everyone does it.

In case you've never heard of them: https://microsoft-informatica.com/

Yes, they were here first.

And if you need something even lighter, something like a better Notepad is enough. Lightweight text editors are a dime a dozen, but I'm personally a fan of notepad2 / notepad2-mod / notepad3; even if they don't have tabs.

Also shout out to LINQPad, for letting me test quick snippets of C# with better visualization than Visual Studio. It's also a better alternative to Sql Server Management Studio for running SQL.

But what about the other 10,000 projects Google is working on? /s

I see two errors in the console. The first:

    ReferenceError: genDataFromText is not defined

This is because genDataFromText is defined inline in the main page after shaderoo.js loads.

Edit: now that I think about it, just because shaderoo.js is loaded first, doesn't mean getDataFromText will by called immediately. I don't have the time to debug or even just read someone else's code right now, so I'll just leave it at that.

The second:

    NotAllowedError: The play method is not allowed by the user agent or the platform in the current context, possibly because the user denied permission.

Alas Firefox is failing to tell me where exactly in the code the error is coming from.

I also see this warning:

    Loading failed for the <script> with source “http://127.0.0.1:8081/socket.io/socket.io.js?_=1585039727308”.

That's true, I'm not hosting anything on http://127.0.0.1:8081 :eyeroll:

SQLite takes it one step further.

https://sqlite.org/quirks.html#aggregate_queries_can_contain...

> if an aggregate query contains a single min() or max() function, then the values of columns used in the output are taken from the row where the min() or max() value was achieved. If two or more rows have the same min() or max() value, then the columns values will be chosen arbitrarily from one of those rows.

Also here:

https://sqlite.org/lang_select.html#bareagg

> When the min() or max() aggregate functions are used in an aggregate query, all bare columns in the result set take values from the input row which also contains the minimum or maximum. [...] There is still an ambiguity if two or more of the input rows have the same minimum or maximum value or if the query contains more than one min() and/or max() aggregate function.

Would have been nice if adding an ORDER BY would allow disambiguating.

I honest to goodness thought this was going to be about the video container format. In retrospect this makes much more snse.

I got 12 cats and I tried all the buttons. Of course none worked. Checking the source I see the fault in line 296:

    max_cats = level + 5;

At level 7 that's a possible maximum of 12.

Edit: you've pointed this out in your comment and I somehow missed it.
