All except us who will cling as to not give Google a way to make ad blocking impossible. And for me it is actually not about the ads, it is about tracking power; about should decide what runs or not on my hardware.
Good, and possibly better than today's TST, but still short of my goal(s). And that's without its instability (ISTR that crashing a fair bit.)
I'd like to be able to:
- Search tabs (by metadata).
- Search tabs (by content).
- Organise tabs by task / project. Including assigning open tabs to tasks, and possibly to multiple tasks.
- A sense of utility vs. info tabs. (Pinned tabs ... sort of does this. Examples might be webmail, chat app, or tools like a dictionary or other data-lookup page.)
- Arbitrarily grouping a set of tabs based on specifiable criteria, or UI-based multi-select.
- Taking actions based on those groupings (close, combine under a single tree, bookmark, print, save, etc.)
I'd have to think more on what sorts of things I'd be doing, but Web as Workflow is a major component of this. Current browser design seems entirely antithetical to this.
I made https://cretz.github.io/doogie/ to solve this, but I don't really maintain it (I just build it for myself on each new Chromium) and it doesn't work on Mac.
Yeah love that you mentioned T&T. It’s more Chinese rather than Korean focused though. I think they really cleaned things up when Loblaws bought them. They’ve got some really nice stores (clean, spacious and well-lit) in Markham.
Whether intentional or not, I think 12 unit select was one of the design choices that enabled the pros and experts to really separate themselves from the average folks.
This is certainly location-dependent. I just went through an apartment search in San Francisco where one of my requirements was electric car charging. Yes of course SF is tech-forward, but most buildings are fifty years or older which makes installation of a charger non-trivial. I just signed a lease for an apartment that doesn’t have a car charger, but the property manager added an amendment which stipulated that one will be installed in a few months, otherwise I’m free to break from the lease. I’d say about half of the property managers I talked to across about 15 tours were amenable to it.
The points about education really resonate with me. In my engineering undergrad, it was frustrating to see in our applied math courses that the mechanical plugging and chugging of equations was the approach that most of my peers took in their studies. They got better grades than me. I wanted to understand concepts more deeply, but there was no time, and the tests rewarded those who could simply go through the motions of applying formulae to problems.
I'm a first-year engineering undergrad, last Friday I finished the last Calculus 3 exam on the semester.
I spent 2 days studying with friends just to see they would blindly memorize formulas with no regard whatsoever for what they were actually doing. "I'm not the understanding type", they said unironically.
Do you think this happens more often in engineering than other disciplines? Some people believe that applied science or mathematics means that just learning formulas is enough
I was one of those people and I regret it. However, the course load was just so great that I'm not sure how I'd done it the "slow" way. I wish I had the time to go back to school and do it right.
