5. now firefox doesn't have a download statusbar either
1. in the beginning, browsers didn't have download statusbars
2. firefox got a browser statusbar extension. it was configurable and worked well
3. chrome cloned it without options and it didn't work as well
5. now firefox doesn't have a download statusbar either
8. people complain that firefox doesn't have a download statusbar, like chrome does
9. mozilla points out the extension, but users either don't know about it or point out it sucks
it's native and therefore works way better than the extension... but it clones the chrome one so it works terribly and has no options to fix it
but it kinda feels like this has happened a dozen times with different functionality in firefox
they sold batteries and wires and transistors and computer parts. this was not a mainstream store, but you couldn't get this stuff elsewhere, so they had a small but dedicated customer base
it was a bit more expensive than their competition, sure, but it sold well for them
So Radio Shack starts stocking fewer capacitors and soundblasters and more Nokias and DVD players
So Tandy started as the "Hinckley-Tandy Leather Company".
Tandy Leather Company was now completely different from Tandy Corporation and Radio Shack.
and in 2000, The Leather Factory purchased all their assets
The Leather Factory purchases back the Tandy name, and is now the Tandy Leather Factory.
1960s: branch into hobby stuff
1975s: electronics/computers, split off the leather, competitors spin up
1990s: competitors are doing good
2000: they sell off leather to competitors
2005: competitor buys the Tandy name
It shows you the progress of ongoing downloads and lets you quickly & easily launch the files once they're downloaded.





Why's that matter? Well, if you have something aligned to the bottom of the page, on chrome that thing will be vertically above the status bar.


1. browser A is dominant, and stagnating
2. browser B appears: it's got more features and/or is much faster
3. users migrate from A to B
6. browser B stagnates
7. browser C appears and draws in users with features or speed
8. rinse, lather, repeat
because I've sometimes had similar allergic reactions to non-real-leather, and I think they use some of the same chemicals to enhance the similarity.
but there's probably differences, allergy wise, than eating an animal and touching its dried skin for hours at a time
they love them some leather! and I am chemically incompatible with it
I'm gonna go get coffee while continuing to be mad about firefox and radio shack
1. tons of kinky BDSM sex?
2. radioshack back at their peak as a hobbyist electronic store?
3. firefox as the dominant browser, WITH extensions?"
Foone: "uhhh... can you give me time to think about it? are you sure I can't have 2 and 3?"
Foone: "No, I'm good. What about Firefox with extensions, but radioshack survives and they only have a couple stores?"
Foone: "wait... ARE YOU JUST A KINKY BDSM SEX GENIE?"
Genie: "You got me."
So Genies come from the islamic idea of jinn, and jinn are not just magic wish-granters, and they don't really have incredible magic powers, either.
A sorcerer might summon one, and bind them to do something for the sorcerer
So even if you have bound a jinn to your will and you tell them "make me rich!" or "kill my enemy", they can't just make it happen.
So they either go to your enemy's house and bash them over the head with a plank or they go find a treasury and rob it
what if you summoned a "Genie" to do your bidding (which mainly involves electronic retail stores and web browser functionality) but it turns out you got a Genie of Kinky BDSM Sex
BDSM genies share the same basic weakness as the imp Rumpelstiltskin: they've got a safeword!

computers think using etchings in poisoned sand and measure time using vibrating crystals so if you were looking for magic you found it

it's like a classic twilight zone episode.
in fact, it IS a twilight zone episode.
The Rip Van Winkle Caper, Season 2, episode 24.
Four criminals steal a million dollars of gold bars, then put themselves in suspended animation for a hundred years to hide from the law.
they wake up, then start killing each other from mistrust, then the last one dies in the desert, as he offers a gold bar to the driver of a passing car, asking for water and a ride into town
the confused driver walks back to his car with the bar, and his wife asks what the gold bar is.
he says something like "It's gold... they used to use this for money, before we figured out a way to manufacture it."
He tosses it away, and drives off.

The Great Software\xa0Stagnation https://t.co/A6peSPERaU
— Jonathan Edwards (@jonathoda) January 1, 2021
Progress in CS comes from discovering ever more abstract and expressive languages to tell the computer to do something. But replacing "tell the computer to do something in language" with "do it yourself using these gestures" halts that progress. \2
Stagnation started in the 1970s after the first GUIs were invented. Every genre of software that gives users a "friendly" GUI interface, effectively freezes progress at that level of abstraction / expressivity. Because we can never abandon old direct manipulation metaphors \3
The 1990s were simply the point when most people in the world finally got access to a personal computer with a GUI. So that's where we see most of the ideas frozen. \4
It's no surprise that the improvements @jonathoda cites, that are still taking place are improvements in textual representation : \5
