I'm not German but from South Asia. I don't mean to mislead anyone; I don't remember why I chose this handle.

This is OT and has probably been covered elsewhere, but why does PG not use https on his site? Also, why does it not trigger showing the 'Toggle Reader View (F9)' button in the Firefox addressbar, if anyone knows?

Math newbie here.

Does 'filter' (as it is used here) have a precise mathematical definition? The only other place where I've seen this word used is the 'bloom filter', which according to Wikipedia is not an algorithm like the Kalman filter but a data structure.

The LaTeX isn't rendering on any of my mobile browsers. Anyone else see the same?

re: Explorer Patcher, does it allow the (W11/W10) taskbar to be moved to one of the vertical edges? The github page doesn't mention this.

I prefer the taskbar on the left and the fact that a vertical taskbar is not supported on W11 is one of the principal reasons I haven't upgraded from W10.

Would you mind making this available as an EPUB?

Does anyone else suffer from GI issues like epigastric pain (acidity) brought on by tea/coffee consumption? How do you deal with it?

Where is Part 1? I tried replacing the '2' in the URL with a '1' (and also tried removing it) but got their 404.

> I want to see more of the web paid for directly, rather than funded through snooping.

I could possibly live with paying for the privilege of using the web, if respect for user privacy is, um, guaranteed somehow. But that probably won't (can't?) happen, and we'd end up having to pay for the privilege of being snooped upon.

I've always wondered why developer tools are bundled with browsers. Shouldn't they be available as separate downloads as:

1. Most people use browsers compared to working with them for development, and

2. The additional tools just add to the package size and possibly increased resource usage (if they are running with the rest of the browser)?

Thanks in advance for the replies.
