Downside of Firefox, courtesy of Google: Gmail’s performance in Firefox is abysmal. Not only is it deathly slow, but buttons and keyboard shortcuts don’t register most of the time, and things are wonky across the board. (For example, deleting emails doesn’t actually delete them half the time.)
I’m leaning toward using Chrome just for Gmail (and perhaps other Google products as well).
Switched from Chrome to Firefox yesterday. (I don’t really trust Google anymore and figured it was finally time to make the move.) Other perks: multi-account containers, theming via userChrome.css, supporting Rust. Happy so far, though it’s admittedly only been a day.
Current school status: in the middle of writing my thesis proposal, with a deadline of mid-November. I’m aiming to defend it mid-December, spend the first half of next year finishing my research and writing my thesis, and do my final thesis defense next August.
Yale has some cool new research on robotic skins that turn everyday objects into robots.
The use of the letters A through F to represent the digits above 9 was not universal in the early history of computers.
Wikipedia has a fascinating list of some of the other hexadecimal representations.
Good post on ownership in Rust, using Python as an example.
I Need Thee Every Hour

My wife and I realized just now that we haven’t seen any daddy long legs in many, many years. (We both grew up in this area and saw them fairly often when we were young.) Not sure what happened to them.
Just released version 2.1 of the reader’s edition of the Book of Mormon. (Fixes two minor typos.)
Also, the print edition is getting closer. I’ve been refactoring my publishing scripts to make things more seamless on my end, and that’s close to done.
