Good chocolade. Not the stuff you can get in a supermarket, but from specialty chocolate shops, or from chocolatiers themselves. While it can be quite expensive per bite compared to ordinary chocolate a single quality chocolate can already give you a very luxurious feeling, so if you have some disposable income available it doesn’t have to break the bank.

Of course! Having it configurable is much better than not having it at all. In the really old days you needed an add-on for it in Firefox too, but luckily it’s been an option for ages now.

Dis me. Also I like swimming in the sea if it’s not too cold so that’s alright I guess?

You can also use Ctrl-1 to 8 if you don’t have a lot of tabs open, that does work with the left hand. Point is, there are tons of ways to switch to next/previous tabs, both with the keyboard and with the mouse, but the only way to switch to the last used tab is disabled by default. Even though it’s much more intuitive IMHO because it aligns with the way most OSes switch between applications. I frequently switch between a few tabs and a few apps, so I use both Ctrl-Tab and Alt-Tab a lot on multiple OSes. If this had been the default from the start I believe everyone would just be used to it and find it logical.

It works just like Alt-Tab though. Are you sure it’s not just a getting used to it thing? Besides, you still have Ctrl-PgDn for next tab.

Ctrl-Tab going to the next tab instead of the last used one.

Compositors. They’re the people who make the sometimes dozens of layers of different visual elements into one coherent whole. This includes integrating CGI with actual footage, but there’s a lot more to it than just that AFAIK. If they don’t do their job right things look fake as fuck but if they do you’ll never notice.

Well yes, obviously there was outside pressure involved. Intel tried to hide and downplay the problem at first, but as the negative attention grew they pivoted to replacing all chips quite fast (in a month or so). I may have oversimplified a bit, but rewriting history goes a bit far, don’t you think?

I remember when Intel made Pentium CPU’s that had a small math error in some very specific floating point calculations. They were so afraid to damage their reputation (which was still excellent at the time) that they offered every Pentium owner across the globe (including me) a free new Pentium CPU without the bug, shipped to us at their expense, and even sending out a courier to pick up the old CPU (again for free) a few weeks later when we had time to swap them. That was basically the opposite of what you’re suggesting.

The Debian project would unironically love to have more lesbians (or women with other sexual preferences): https://www.debian.org/women/

To me it’s just disrespectful to damage a book, regardless of which physical form it has. Paperbacks falling apart when they’re worn out are OK, that’s basically showing how much they were loved. But taking scissors to them is still almost as bad as taking scissors to a first edition hardback.

That’s just wrong. If you’re worried about portability get an e-reader, don’t butcher up works of art.

Guild Wars 2. Didn’t click with it at launch, tried it again a few months ago and oh my god so much has changed in over 13 years. I’m still playing plenty of other games but it’s nice to have an MMO (without monthly fees or any kind of FOMO) to come back to every couple of weeks.

If you ignore the “no indexes” part (can’t request that in normal SQL anyway) then PostgreSQL absolutely can handle queries like that.

It has, in Belgium: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_Brussels_bombings Maybe it wasn’t close enough to scare the 'muricans?

The salary you make doesn’t say much about your position in the company. Traders are still wage slaves IMHO, they’re just paid more than others, and only if they’re successful.

It really doesn’t, and I say that as someone who often had 3 or 4 monitors on his desk 😂

That’s a rather negative view. There’s a big difference between people who actually contribute to FOSS (in any way, not just code) and random keyboard warriors in the contents. Sure, there’s always some drama somewhere, but that’s not exclusive to FOSS.

I guess we need to extend this chart somewhat…
