I've always wanted it to work this way. However it'd only work if you had a case with the magnetic cover to turn on the device. Otherwise someone would pick up their un-cased kindle with the page lock screen, start reading, and then get confused when they tried to turn the page and nothing happened — the device would still be off!

I used the term "early access" when I should've used "private beta". The sign up is just for me to have an email addresses to send the private beta when the next update goes out, and I'll follow up for feedback. Nothing sinister is happening.

I'll be sending out the a macOS version to another wave of beta users after I fix an outstanding issue, if you sign up (at bottom of article) and mention this comment I can make sure you're in that wave.

Thank you! Yeah it can be used for any type of program, but I haven't been able to think of anything besides compilation that creates enough processes to be interesting. I'm open to ideas!

OP Here. Thats an interesting idea. What The Fork knows all the commands run, and every path they read/write, so I should be able to make it estimate build time just by looking at what files were touched.

(OP here) Thanks!

My call with the Mozilla engineer was cut short, so we didn't have time to go into detail about what he found, I want to look into it myself.

1. The image at the top of the article makes it clear the segments aren't contiguous

2. iterating a 4 billion item segmented array would have 26 cache misses. Not a big deal.
