I have maintained Tab Wrangler for both Chrome and for Firefox for years: it auto-closes tabs based on a configurable timeout and when they were last active. I'm not sure how people keep dozens or hundreds of tabs open either. It'

Yup good call, Angular.js seems more likely than Backbone now that you mention it.

Alex Russell introduced Web Components in 2011. React was released in 2013. Web Components originally used a view-model architecture, which I would guess was heavily inspired by the most popular JS framework leading up to 2011: Backbone. Re

This is clickbait to someone in particle physics? It describes the standard model, what the LHC was able to find, what it hasn’t been able to find, and why there is skepticism about further discoveries. This is some high quality clickbait.

Chrome’s Profiles are the #1 reason I use it over Firefox. If Firefox had as complete of an implementation as Chrome then I would consider switching, but until then Firefox is a non-starter for me. I use all 3 of these profiles all day ever

LaGuardia in NYC requires transferring to a bus for the final connection from the subway to the airport. It’s infuriatingly difficult to get right even after doing the route many times. I’d often call a Lyft/Uber at 10x the price of th

The title in the screenshot says “Continue search for Office Chairs,” which sounds like it shows recent Google searches that have significant presence in the “Shopping” tab of google.com. Sure these aren’t “ads,” like the article says, but

Thanks for the reply! Shoelace does look great, and I recognize doing the form submission this way is a requirement currently. Hopefully the links above about allowing custom WebComponents to act as native form elements will further enable

That’s great, thanks for the links.

Thanks for the link. This library unfortunately highlights further challenges with Web Components like mixing custom WCs with native form elements. To use Shoelace form elements at all, you'll end up writing a bunch of JavaScript. >

One difference I see is that there is no consideration of the size or complexity of a "story" or unit of work. Scrum and Agile dictate that you spend tons of time and effort assigning points and shuffling points around to measure
