Alternatively: I was thrown off by the new tab behavior in Tree-Style Tabs and didn't want the complexity of a tree of tabs. Vertical Tabs Reloaded[0] gives me the "tabs in a sidebar to the left" without the complexity. [0]:

Totally agree. I did government research for a while and published papers. Don't exclude them - anyone at the intersection of government work and research is likely to have meaningful contributions to this website.

In this contest, you are to intentionally insert a difficult-to-detect bug into otherwise legible code. In the obfuscated C contest, you are writing obfuscated code. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obfuscation_%28software

There is no reason in principle, and you can even do it for kicks.[1] The only issue here is a practical one, as the parent poster described: from an end-user perspective, browsers do SSL/TLS better than ad-blocking proxies. [1]: An ex

In some cases, you might be reading poor-quality mathematical writing. According to my generalization of some advice from Knuth:[1] in a good math text, definitions of terms are presented as they go along, and they are explicit about what m
