As a consultant, switching between my many clients, testing, and home accounts is simply Alt+F+B+Arrow down ("Open new container tab"), all within the same UI, in the same window, with colored tabs, with the same extensions, and same password manager.

I've been in situations needing up to half a dozen different Microsoft accounts (multiple Teams clients in Firefox, for instance), other browsers haven't solved this daily use-case for me.

It's an easier account management tool.

At least in France we’ve been saying that for 8 years.

The second best time to plant a tree is now.

I think you’re mistaken, at least about the French revolution. It was carried out by rich people, looking for more power, making use of a common and regular occurence of popular uprising (Jacqueries, in political science, is the name of those quite common « revolutions »).

Royalty does not necessarily cause misery, Sweden, Spain, the UK are all monarchies. Colbert and Louis XIV built a lot of foundations that you know France for today; even later non-democratic regimes such as the Second Empire (Napoleon III and Haussman) structured the Paris that brings tourists the world over…

The French revolution - that I know of - led to the invention of restaurants because rich people from remote cities came to Paris and wanted to live the fastuous life they envied from nobles. Social cleansing? Nothing of the sort, social exploitation as always, from where money and power came as always.

Can confirm, there’s only one Mickey, they time their exits and entrances and have a park coordinator (mostly women under the Mickey costume, by the way, because of costume size categories).

I work in data management for large companies and I can promise you the problem is not a technical one. Which organization has the maturity to actually follow-through with quality data for such systems? Which legislators have the power to enforce such an approach?

A chain of LLMs can work in that regard, using intermediary prompts that feed answers to the next prompt. Make the LLM build a list of sections, then make it fill them with examples, then make it enrich the text. Maybe a last layer for error correction, clarity, removing mentions of "as an AI model", etc.

That’s the core of the issue: when you’re so overworked that you (a) don’t have the time to reflect upon it and thus (b) don’t realize that the situation is terrible.

It’s a not a new trope, Jack London’s Martin Eden addresses the inability of physical workers to gain culture and reflect on their situation simply through the exhaustion they’re subject to.

A friend working at Campari told me their strategy is to cut off supermarkets for a couple of years to focus on bar and restaurants, before an increase in pricing and a comeback in a couple of years.

Happened to me in management consulting: immediately after my corporate headshot, there was an increase in the number of messages from headhunters, almost three times as much. Ended up landing x2 salary in a smaller company, in a more specialized field, with bigger clients and better missions.

I use Alt+F+B+Down arrow to browse my containers when opening a new tab. For the most frequent ones, I use Ctrl+Maj+1/2/3/4, etc., I know which ones they are.

Those shortcuts are by default, I haven't had to tweak anything, and although they're not standard browser shortcuts, I prefer that option to a remapping of standards.

I advise using pen and paper lists of ideas, somewhere visible! Whenever I have my eyes wandering from a screen, I pick it up and start working on a couple of ideas.

Could be an opportunity to build a custom case hiding this bar
