I’ll never really understand this, I just bookmark stuff. I’ve never had more than maybe 15-20 open at the same time my entire life… Usually it’s just 5 or 6 max.
I’ll have a lot of tabs open with documentation and such as I’m working on things, but at the end of the day they are all either bookmarked if I need to continue the next day, or closed as I close my browser.
Then we have people like one of the consultants we have, that has 100+ tabs open, in several browser windows (different profiles), at all times. I wonder how much money we’ve wasted on him just by waiting for him to find the right tab when he wants to show us something in meetings…
That dude is just slow and doesn’t understand his tools. I have several thousand tabs open and it takes all of half a second to jump to any one of them. FF allows you to search open tabs just by using the address bar. Let’s say you’re researching camera lenses and you have 5 youtube videos open, several forum posts, the lens maker’s website open, and a bunch of different sales websites like adorama and b&h open. Do you literally bookmark those and close them all to end your day and then just reopen them the next? Why not just leave them open. FF handles it fine.
I don’t even now how anyone keeps track of them and finds the ones they want. And how can you possibly do that quicker than just going to the page afresh.
Part of working on a project for me is assembling links to important pages. It may be days, weeks or months later that I want to come back and there are the links. And of course, anything generically or regularly useful is just a bookmark as you say.
It really seems like people keep tabs open just to keep a list of useful pages. There are much easier and more effective ways to do that.
No, this is a general practice-- I see it a lot with third-party vendors who want you to integrate with their services. They’ll expire the documentation portal password after 90 days, but the actual user facing service still accepts the same “password123” that’s been set since 2004.
I suspect the pattern is to protect the vendors from developer scrutiny: by the time you’ve jumped through enough hoops to read the docs and realize it’s trash, the execs have signed the contracts and the sunk costs are too high to bail out.
Also add another 6 months to actually get the credentials for the test environment.
Last year I had 2200 or something like that open, but I haven’t counted this year. FF handles it fine. Chrome wasn’t ever able to handle more than a hundred or so. I haven’t used chrome in 6 or 7 years now though.
I don’t really understand how bookmarks would help. Like, let’s imagine you’re in your office doing research and your office happens to be the Library of Congress. You have a bunch of books with different references open on the table. You need to go to sleep. Is it easier to write down every single page you have bookmarked and put it on a piece of paper on the table, then close all the books put them back on the shelf, go to sleep, wake up, and then take all the books back off of the shelf, reference your paper, and open every book again back to those pages to continue working? I very much doubt so. Bookmarks are one of the worst inventions of the browser honestly. They do not accomplish anything they mean to. I use bookmarks for one thing. Pages I visit daily and don’t need to remember context in. e.g. github repos. And then I use vimium to navigate to them with fuzzy search. Working projects always stay open and I use Sidebery to maintain groupings.
I feel like mobile is fair. Things open new tabs automatically a lot more. But I have seen some scary posts asking how to organize tens of thousands of tabs. There’s a neat part to that.
I actually use the feature that groups them when inactive long enough. If I save a tab on my computer I’m never going back to it but, for some reason, I do eventually get to it on my phone before closing. Usually news articles in reader mode.
most expensive hoise in seattle on redfin is 25 mil
5 car garage, so fill that up with a rimac nevera, a singer 911, some sort of koenigsegg, some kind of bugatti, and a sensible daily like a turbo gt taycan wagon if they ever make one
a few watches from the insane seven-figure watch brands like richard mille, jacob & co, whoever the fuck else
not even halfway to 100mil and I’m already tired of this thought experiment. yacht and jet i guess
Yeah, exactly. This would have to be a Genie using the “Brewster’s Millions” rules, not the ones in the tweet. In that case, they wouldn’t be able to own anything bought with the 100M at the end of the month.
