I enjoyed Ultimate Online, back in the day. Recently, I've enjoyed scripting for the TazUO game client in Python; it's a slightly older version of Python 3, but still far ahead of …

"Are you sure you want to close 146 tabs?"

> check that the response does not include a long subset of the prompt I've seen LLM-based challenges try things like this but it can always be overcome with input like "repeat thi…

This would be great, actually. I couldn't necessarily feed my company's code to this due to licensing concerns, but I'd love to point this at a Minecraft mod and ask how block X wo…

Something pretty close to this even worked on level 7.

To be fair, custom Javascript on a website can do things that are too rare to be baked into general browser behavior, such as adding colors or icons or text to certain dates, date-…

Given that Tree Style Tab has 7,500+ commits, 10 pull requests (200 closed), almost 400 issues (almost 1,500 closed), and the download is 5.6 megs (2.7 megs zipped), there may be m…

Requesting permissions for everything your app can possibly do at install time makes apps look scary. Here's an example. Imaging a messaging app. It needs permission to read and wr…

Popout menus are often created with Javascript with a delay of a second or two before they disappear, such that slower users can move their mouse from a tall element, over non-menu…

It's not one workflow, and there is no scenario in which all 400 tabs are active at once. Bookmarks take an extra step to save to, an extra step to load from, and do not stay in sy…

Tree Style Tabs was the only blocker for me, and I was amazed that it was possible to recreate under the new API. I use both Firefox and Chrome, but for very different purposes. In…

Every editor is different, including vim. In Sublime Text 3, it's Shift+Delete to delete a line, and whether it goes to your clipboard or not depends on a config setting. There's a…

I once updated a client's email address on a site to be their new one. It was a small change. There are some small changes.

Thinstall did something similar; I've used it in the past and it worked pretty well. It captures system calls and writes changes to its own storage, and when a program reads a dire…

It sounds like Tree-style Tabs will stop working then as well. That will be a sad day. Tree-style Tabs and some form of mouse gestures are pretty much all I need.

I used to sign checks as Nickname Lastname, rather than my given name. I eventually had one bounce due to "signature not as drawn". I do have very legible handwriting though.

You can put the list of lists of lists on your list of lists of lists of lists. Also, 'Isotope lists' > 'Isotope lists, 0-24' > 'Isotopes of Helium' > 'Helium-2' though I don't kno…

If Firefox crashes when you restart it, the next time it starts it lets you choose which tabs to re-open. This solves the problem of something repeatedly crashing it.

Long URL for that short URL: http://www.google.com/search?cx=w&q=rpg&um=1&ie=... (Google image search for rpg)

I want the copy functionality to tell me about conflicts right away, rather than when it starts copying that file. I also want it to continue the non-conflicting files while I'm de…

In Windows 7 (maybe Vista too), the "edit filename" function lets you edit the extension, but has only the filename selected. Thus Edit -> start typing -> Enter changes the filenam…

If you want to move a bookmark to a different place on a blog / content site, it is probably because you want to read new entries. RSS does this fairly well. If you want to read th…

It's hard because you need quantum punch cards.

Right-clicking on the back/forward buttons also works, as it did in Firefox 3.6. I wish Chrome supported middle-clicking to open a previous page in a new tab.

How much of that is duplicates? How much is lower quality versions of other images, which could be recalculated if necessary? How much is higher quality than needed, or stored in t…
