Sorry Thingiverse, but you're an asshole.

RT @ekaitz_zarraga Do you guys have any good reference about programming on Unix?
system calls, process control, IPC and all that?

I know Advanced Linux Programming, which is ok. Something on that line but maybe a little bit deeper or with a different approach. Ideas?

Tabs in Chromium don't work like tabs in Firefox that don't work like tabs in my window manager.
And forget about dragging a Chromium tab into Firefox or vice versa.
Getting them to open everything in new windows that are managed by the WM is needed if you want one way to manipulate tabs instead of 3.

owl@beach.city wrote:

Web browsers (and other programs) having to implement tabs is due to mainstream window managers being poor at managing windows.
They should let you tab any windows you want, from any program.
Why shouldn't you be able to have a browser tab next to a text editor tab next to a PDF reader tab?
You shouldn't need a separate way to organize and arrange windows that only works within that program.
(Spent time in a VM today using a window manager that can't tab anything...)

"Restore packages (using the interactive flag, which allows dotnet to prompt you for credentials)

Yeah ok

"error : Response status code does not indicate success: 401 (Unauthorized)."

Yeah because you never prompted me?

Lets try nuget restore:

">>>> xbuild tool is deprecated and will be removed in future updates, use msbuild instead <<<<

MSBUILD: error MSBUILD0004: Too many project files specified"

What.

I used to think that the various twigs I see on redwood forest floors came from different species of trees. Then I learned that S. sempervirens will just grow different types of needles when they get big enough to have to deal with multiple climates at once. The needles start off flat and long near the ground and get shorter, thicker, and scalier as it gets warmer and drier higher up.

So these are all from coast redwoods, just from different heights in the trees.

• Leaf sprays from coast redwood trees arranged according to where on a tree they are from. The rightmost twigs have long flat needles arranged like chains of feathers, and the leftmost twig is covered in spirals of short, scale-like needles. The two in the middle are intermediates between the two extremes. (remote)

"Tab Unloading in Firefox 93"

Starting with Firefox 93, Firefox will monitor available system memory and, should it ever become so critically low that a crash is imminent, Firefox will respond by unloading memory-heavy but not actively used tabs. This feature is currently enabled on Windows and will be deployed later for macOS and Linux as well.
