Trying Sidebery instead of Tree Style Tab for my tab wrangling needs, since the latter seems to be making Firefox drag its feet more than usual.
I don't remember what it was that got me to stop using Sidebery a while ago, but whatever it was it's not bothering me anymore.
So far it feels snappier, but I'm attributing that to the fact I restarted Firefox and that brought its memory usage down, rather than to the change of addon.

I'm going all in, converting my
N [virtual desktop] 1-N [window] 1-N [tab hierarchy]
to1 [virtual desktop] 1-1 [window] 1-N [panel] 1-1 [group] 1-N [tab]
. This is an ongoing process, but I'm already down one virtual desktop from 5 to 3.(one group inside one panel because panels collapse nicely on the left and provide tabs counts, but groups provide an overview which panels do not)

@dcon And then when the sun rises you put aside the phone, fall asleep again, and sleep through the alarm clock?

Well, technically, it wasn't the phone - it's the computer. And I don't have an alarm clock, I have something more reliable - dogs!
It did make sure I was up for the 7:30a all hands meeting... I'll probably crash in the middle of the 2p meeting...

For those of you who work in the Frontend world, how important is it to know the DOM API well?
-
@stillwater It's good to know, but in practice you'll most likely be working with some framework that abstracts it all away from you (and/or does silly things that interfere with using it normally)

And of course, docs exist for everything. MDN is generally pretty good for looking stuff up.

I keep meaning to learn it but I can hack my way through most problems easily. I wouldn't get overly worried about it.

Status Blocked on new work so "watching" the stupid "security training" videos we have to do. And yes, they're very basic. With annoying people. And you can't navigate away from the tab or you have to restart; even the switching tabs pauses it. So instead I'm doing the smart thing--open it in a new window, mute it, let it run on 1.25x. Do whatever else in the other windows.

Do the smarter thing - set it on 2X, not muted, and take stimulants.

I just had one of those too. But not a video. An interactive thing where you have to click lots of things so bubbles of text pop in/out. And take quizzes. I like the PDF ones better. Click/Open/PgDn/.../PgDn/Close/SignYupIReadIt.

@dcon I noticed it had lost much of its effectiveness in keeping me awake and alert, so I'm trying to reduce the tolerance I've built up over the years, so it's more effective when I really need it.

Put coffee powder and sugar into a jug, add hot water, stirr, wait a couple of minutes, then pour it through a filter into your coffee cup.
