Munin, Keeper of LoreDoes anyone else judge the difficulty of a problem by how many tabs you close once you've solved it?
Y'know, like Sherlock Holmes' "Three pipe problem" - "This was a six tab problem" or the like.
Dr. Edward Morbius ❌@munin No, I don't.
I used to, mind.
I'd motherfucking /like/ to.
But no, I don't, BECAUSE MOTHERFUCKING CHROME DOESN'T HAVE ANY MOTHERFUCKING WAY TO MOTHERFUCKING MANAGE MOTHERFUCKING TABS. AND ITS DRIVING ME MOTHERFUCKING NUTS.
Sorry.
I feel slightly better now.
But seriously. I've got a post-it on my desk lamp, dated 15 April, reading "close tabs". That's my message to myself to try to whittle down the tab list on my Chrome/Android instance. Fat lot of good that.
@munin One of the early examples of this comes from WWII, where, faced with massive aircraft (and crew, if you're counting) loss rates in missions over the European front, Abraham Wald suggested examination of returning craft for bulletholes /and putting additional armouring where the holes weren't/. Because the planes hit there didn't make it back.
(Wald, and his wife, died in a plane crash over India, though it's not thought he was shot from the skies.)
