An engineer at my work literally designed the processor architecture that lives in our products but he is more or less computer illiterate.

/dev/null as a service.


That is probably the coolest sales pitch page I have seen. Love the design and animations.


This saved me a ton of time when I had to migrate id ownership of files in ancient NFS shares.

That is some wild and scary stuff.


Will they ever introduce tab groups? It seems to be a highly requested feature.


I actually like Edge's workspaces. If only they worked on my company profile.

For now I am on https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/panorama-view... extension, but it doesn't work the way workspaces work across windows.


Not a Chrome user here. Is that like container tabs? Or more like how Windows will group windows of the same program when your task bar is full?


- You Right click a tab and choose `Add to new Tab Group`. - You then name and set a colour for the group. - You then drag tabs in and out of the group.

So far the tabs work much the same as ungrouped ones. There is a small coloured button to the left of the group with the name, and the tabs in the group are underlined with the same colour.

But then you click the button and the tabs all collapse.

The nice thing is when expanded they are just like every other tab, not hidden away in a folder, or some menu or modal. But then you can clean up with the press of a button.

Lack of Tab Groups is what stopped me from switching to Firefox last year.


That sounds like tree style tabs except with colors, that you have to manually set groups instead of it being grouped based on what opened what, and it's still horizontal so can't see more than a handful of tabs at the same time. On the other hand, it being native sounds like a big advantage (looking with one eye at xpi addons here, specifically the vertical tabs one Mozilla developed themselves and then immediately killed because it had been decided addons need to not be so powerful)


You can pre-select multiple tabs to add to the group when creating a new one. It will also automatically add newly opened tabs originating from a grouped tab in the same group. Not vertical like TST, but a very nice quality life improvement in the native browser.


I've been doing this in Firefox for maybe two years now with the Simple Tab Groups extension.


The latter one but it is grouped by the user manually.


He were at the top of the leader boards in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 too.

I guess you could also spin up a OpenBSD server running SSH and use that as a jump host.


Ouch.


So now that lead is looking for a job? :)


Probably has buckets of cash, so no? :)


Not sure, Croteam never did come across as a rich company and I don't recall their engine sold well. Stadia work would've been a wage, a decent wage I'm sure but at the end of the day just a wage.


it's like every big game (studio?) is either microsoft already, or just not yet

like every gameplay stands as an engine, or a genre, or a meta-genre? like GrandTheftAuto?

but i was i trying to tweet something about getting lost in stocks and tickers and symbols


He now works at Roblox.


Does anyone have information about these lines? Are they auto-generated?


Both Subversion[1] and CVS[2] had keyword substitution, which replaced those tags with useful information like the commit id, author, date, etc.

They were very useful when you were looking at a source file, to see what version of that file you had.

Git had something similar with Git Attributes[3], but AFAIK, they were just references to blob ids, so they never really took off.

For git, I now use tags (and versioning based on tags), that more or less replaced svn/cvs keyword substitution in the git ecosystem.
