can't unload tabs without closing them. There are plugins but they're similar all-or-nothing approaches, like suspending-everything-but-current or nothing.
Sidebery (primarily a vertical tab tree extension, with extensive tab management features) gives you a right click option to unload any individual tab or a selection. Don't know if it's compatible with Firefox 84 though

The World Without JavaScript
I have a very strong feeling that in a world without JS we'd instead have some other abomination that's just about as bad, just in a different way. Annoyance is, it seems, a conserved property of systems.
A world without Javascript would be where Shockwave became dominant.
Given that The Future is WebAssembly which is basically a rerun of applets... it might as well be Shockwave.

Not necessarily. There were other contenders in that space; it was a very slim chance that JS won, and it was that way several times. There was a great deal of happenstance involved.
And it was the explosion of JavaScript outside of the browser that was the real horror anyway. It's not great in the browser, mind you, but the history of built-in languages has never been great. FoxPro was almost VBscript, Dynamics had X++, the Penultima emulator had eScript (an unholy union of JavaScript and Pascal), and so on.
Had VBscript won the browser war, its pre-existing presence outside the browser (Office automation, the iterative parts of T-SQL, the VBscript precursor to PowerShell, or VB proper itself) by definition would've prevented its success from making the situation worse.

Yes, exactly this. But also, just switching branches in git is also guaranteed to fail on at least a half dozen locked files.
I honestly can't come up with a legitimate reason why a file should ever be locked.

Careful with that kind of talk. Remember our policy towards bug reports is still: snitches get stitches.

@error Is it really Windows' ability to lock files that's to blame or Git's unrelenting stupidity? It was rare for me to hit a locked file before and after Git but a regular occurrence in between. to check but Linus could've named Git very appropriately.
-
@Zenith And yet many of the rest of us use git on Windows and have little-to-none in the way of problems. That points to something else being the actual cause. What that is... I dunno.
-
@dkf If it's not the computer, it must be the chair
-
@dkf Ah but you see @error was running into those problems today. I solved my Git problems a year ago.
Git is still useless and stupid though. Give me SourceSafe or TeamFortess any day of the week. Hell, even SVN was less of a shitshow once you learned how to turn your thinking as inside out as the rest of Unix disk access. Git was always looking for a way to fuck up file checkins, no matter how many hoops it had to invent to get there.

: Hmmm. I see. So, tell me... how do you feel about command-line interfaces?

@Zerosquare I tolerate the ones that I write and wonder how much worse others have to get before their developers stop acting like including a UI would involve sacrificing their testicles to the God of Rusty Chainsaws.

@Zenith said in The Official Status Thread:

I went the other direction. I build the library and then the commandline or GUI applications afterward.
Haven't needed to actually do this often, but for the one I did, it wasn't all that bad!

That’s how I can tolerate the ones that I write. They’re sitting on top of the same API as the GUI. Building GUIs by cobbling together a command line statement gets really ugly really fast. But what do I know, I only spent real time fighting these wonderful CLIs for my batch files…

Our reality is awful and full of atrocities.
But at least we don't live in the parallel reality where NodeVB is a thing, and I am thankful for that.

Are you sure it’s not just an accessibility feature that looks up your birthday from

It takes an extra second for the watched red line to load so they’re doing something stupider now. I shall refer to some one wisers’ comment about it looking fine on localhost.

@Tsaukpaetra That looks like it's the appropriate length for a Base64-encoded key for typical decryption schemes. Four bytes it ain't.

Evidence suggests the program is expecting the string
"1"
or"2"
(corresponding to the two password-based AES keys this program uses), but someone seems to have fucked up string concatenation in the insert query elsewhere and a second piece of encrypted data got shoved in the column.

@Tsaukpaetra You mean you don't use 16 bytes of binary data (encoded as base64) as an ID?!

It's not my program. If it was, I'd fuck it up so hard the fixed version would be nigh unrecognizable.
Actually, I do have an active project that uses guids so I guess that technically counts maybe?

In one place I worked they used uuids stored as binary as primary keys. Fucking things were a nightmare to debug. My proposal to add a column to decrypt them was shot down which made debugging prod a nightmare. At the apps peak about a thousand new records were created a day so I’m still at a loss why they needed something for hyper scaling instead of letting the DB handle incrementing a number.

@Tsaukpaetra IT on the GO... That is just perfect.

Creating the id on the client side. Things can be stored temporarily offline before being uploaded to the central server. Would work.
