On a definitely related note, I've recently been thinking it's wild how we build foot paths out of rocks and then put on rubber socks for actually walking on them.

In other words, asphalt is a scam by Big Foot to sell more shoes.

I imagine, they can still get inflamed gums or similar, if something gets stuck in there...

I believe, you have to take turns pushing down individual teeth. By random chance, it will close the mouth when you do that. So, you lose when you get bitten.

I'm always amazed how badly companies understand the concept of human interaction. Showing appreciation requires putting in some amount of effort. If you just type some words into a box and an image comes out, that's not anything. Might as well use the first clipart that comes up in image search...

I believe, you can basically turn it off in Firefox, by telling it to open new windows instead of tabs.

Might need to hide the tab bar via userChrome.css, though...

The devs have access to the source code. Why would they put something like this two layers deep into the documentation? It's like those people that think Mozilla is evil, because Mozilla openly talks about what they're doing. If they wanted to be evil, you would know jackshit about it.

I mean, for what it's worth, I'm a seasoned dev and just did a run where I tried to answer everything as it makes sense to me (which is "throws an error" or "invalid date" for all of them) and I also got a score of 4/28.

...and two of those points were given to me, because the quiz interpreted my answer differently than I meant it.

In other words, this quiz exists to highlight that JavaScript's Date functions make no sense.

My interpretation is that they're bad at smalltalk and will forget basic facts about themselves. It would fit in with them needing a list of smalltalk topics to choose/avoid...

I feel like it's just capitalism doing a capitalism. People are self-conscious about their skin, so you can sell them all kinds of crap.
Even a basic washcloth does a decent job with exfoliating, if you use it regularly. Rub your face dry with a scruffy towel, if you need more than that.

But of course, there's hardly any money to be made with reasonably priced products, so you won't see TV ads for them.

Somehow, it feels like the fields are larger on average, even though this is clearly not the case...

Should be noted that Ctrl+[Shift+]Tab behaves as you describe by default, but there's a checkbox in the settings to make it go through tabs left-to-right, so it's possible OP changed that behaviour...

Not sure why I get the impression...

So, I use KDE Connect to sync my clipboard contents from my PC to my phone. Since a few weeks ago, it updates those clipboard contents regularly, even when said PC is suspended.
And apparently, the last thing I copied is 🙃, so now my phone weirdly smiles at me every so often. 🫠

Screenshot showing how the directory last-modified timestamp changes each time a file underneath it is added, renamed and then removed.

I'm currently working on a build tool, which does caching based on the last-modified timestamp of files. And yeah, man, I was prepared for a world of pain, where I'd have to store a list of all files, so I could tell when one of them disappears.
I probably would've also had to make up some non-existent last-modified timestamp to try to pretend I know when that file got deleted. I figured, there's no way to ask the deleted file when it got deleted, because it doesn't exist anymore.

Thank you, to whomever had that smart idea to design it like that. I can just take the directory last-modified timestamp now, if it's the highest value.
In fact, my implementation accidentally does this correct already. That's how I found out. 🫠
