Do you mean that files produced with "wide" tabs might have hard newlines embedded more readily in longer lines? Or that maybe people writing with "narrow" tabs might be comfortable writing 6-deep if/else trees that wrap when somebody with their tabs set to wider opens the same file?

Is the reason there isn't a perfect show/movie-to-meme site with All the features and All the shows, that such a site would attract notice from rightsholders and then implode from fending off spurious legal complaints?

> a strategy-less map

I only really played ut2k4 not 99, but in the 2k4 Face map there was a "ledge" (I don't know the term, like a stray polygon edge or something) out of sight on one side where you could fake like you had fallen off, land on the ledge, wait a couple seconds and then crouch or do whatever it was that made you drop the flag.

The game would show the message "so and so dropped the flag" which IIRC was the same message it shows when you die while holding the flag, and to most people it seems like you fell into the void and died, but you're actually just hanging out on the ledge.

There wasn't a way back up from the ledge, so you can't do this to shake people chasing you and then go score, but if you do this while you're ahead, the other team can't score until they get their flag back...

okay that's not really "strategy", it's super cheap.

Sounds a lot like emacs, there's a core written in C etc but the overwhelming majority of the bits that make it an editor are in a scripting layer that you can change at runtime (and indeed there's hardly any reason to use emacs if you're not doing so)

Red chip supply problems in your factory are usually caused by insufficient plastic bars, which is usually caused by oil production backing up because you're not consuming your heavy oil and/or petroleum fast enough.

Crack heavy oil to light, and turn excess petroleum into solid fuel. As a further refinement, you can put these latter conversions behind pumps, and use the circuit network to only turn the pumps on when the tank storage of the respective reagent is higher than ~80%.

You don't happen to play Foxhole [0] do you?

Because if not, the logistics Collies in SOL could make good use of a person with your talents. :-)

Hadn't heard of it before..

> Foxhole is a massively multiplayer game where

nope, not my cup of tea, but thanks for the "if you like this you might like this" rec :)

No problem. It was a super insider reference to that game. It is a war game, and within the game there is a 'logistics' branch which basically produces every single bullet etc. that is ever fired. There are also 'facilities' that produce gasoline for the trucks etc. to drive. Much of the language you used in your post could have been taken straight out of the game. I knew the odds that you played it were slim but I had to ask!

Yup, and stockpiling solid fuel is not a waste because you need it for rocket fuel later on. Just add more chests.

Some browsers (and web servers, proxies, and other things) treat "example.com" and "example.com." differently for various things, like the default limit of per-domain parallel connections. See for instance https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2022/05/12/a-tale-of-a-trailing-...

i.e. people will circumvent the secure-but-onerous path. (I don't think they can be faulted for trying to get their work done either, I'm agreeing with you)

Firefox is particularly good at having lots of tabs open and not using tons of memory.

    $ ~/dev/mozlz4-tool/target/release/mozlz4-tool \
        "$(find ~/Library/Application\ Support/Firefox/Profiles/ -name recovery.jsonlz4 | head -1)" | \
        jq -r '[.windows[].tabs | length] | add'
    5524

Activity monitor claims firefox is using 3.1GB of ram.

    Real memory size:      2.43 GB
    Virtual memory size: 408.30 GB
    Shared memory size:  746.5  MB
    Private memory size: 377.3  MB

That said, I wholeheartedly agree that "more RAM less problems". The only case I can think of when it's not strictly better to have more is during hibernation (cf sleep) when the system has to write 128GB of ram to disk.

In my experience firefox is "pretty good" about having lots of tabs and windows open if you don't mind it crashing every week or two.

I've not had a crash on Firefox in like a decade, basically since the Quantum update in like 2016.

Try living like I do. I currently have 1,838 tabs open across 9 different windows. On second thought, maybe don't live like I do...

I've got ~5k+ tabs, and I've also seen basically zero crashes in the last decade. I'm on Macos, not very many extensions though one of them is Sidebery (and before that Tree Style Tabs) which seems to slow things down quite a lot.

Why do you need all of these tabs open? How do you find what you need?

I likely don't need all the tabs. Some were opened only because they might be useful or interesting. Others get opened because they cover something I want to dig into further later on, but in this case it's the buildup of multiple crash>restore cycles. Eventually I'll get to each tab and close it or save the URL separately until it's back to 0, but even in that process new tabs/windows get opened so it can take time.

> and then WhatsApp starts to send ads in push-notifications that you can't turn off

*that you can't filter.

Every time an app begs me to enable notifications, I give it the side-eye because I immediately assume it's going to include notifications that I don't want to see, which are essentially ads for some app feature / some part of their walled garden.

I want to be able to filter notifications at the OS level. That could be by a substring search on the content of the notification, or by a unique-per-call-site (in the code) identifier included in the API the app uses to surface a notification (though I suspect most apps would just re-use the same identifier everywhere because the developers don't want me to be able to filter their ads).

My point was that such services will always enshittify.

With RCS, you have at least multiple providers and the ability to switch without being socially exiled.
