Special high intensity training!

Building something like this into a browser would be a bad idea, as it's incredibly resource-intensive.

Not sure why this was downvoted; it doesn't say you shouldn't do all those things, only that they're no guarantee you'll be able to retire at 45.

I wonder which would be faster: computing a frame, or printing it? If you could print one frame at a time, you could make a flip-book animation.


> Now you can compile and check a thousand line program in milliseconds.

How do you define "productive?" Lines of code written per day? Bugs fixed per man hour? Fewest reported bugs per end user?

The fastest compiler in the world won't help you find all the runtime bugs that simply wouldn't have existed in the days of punch cards, when code was written with with more care and attentiveness since there wasn't a fast edit/compile/test development loop. YMMV, of course.


Filters are stored in a file which you can easily copy between computers: https://kb.mozillazine.org/Message_Filters#Export.2FImport


Thanks. But expecting end users to go online and perform a search to find out where the filters are stored on their platform (or platforms, if the source and destination are different) and copy them is pretty inexcusable at this point.

I don't understand the opposition to filter import/export.


I hear you, but for everybody who wants to export filters, there's somebody who wants to export just something else (address book, messages, settings, etc.). There really is no end to it, and it's a PITA to cover all those cases. I'm pretty sure that's what plugins are for: if there's enough demand for a filter exporter, somebody could write a plugin.

Most people just want to export everything (e.g. to transfer their acct to another computer), and for that they can use the build-in full export (Tools -> Export).


Is there a way to visit this online, without having to download and install software locally?



Thank you. Seems to be down, though; web dev tools indicate unable to open websocket to wss://progressbackend.minefact.de/socket.io/?EIO=4&transport=websocket&sid=...


> No ones going to use your product because he saw some crap on TikTok. It's cheap engagement

If your product is a wellness product or app, that's like catnip for a TikTok influencer. If it's a B2B SaaS, probably the opposite.


This might work to some degree if you can run your project by many eyeballs, but only if they aren't immediately made gun shy by interacting with a low quality product. A focus group environment would be good for this, but setting that up costs money.
