Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming βWow! What a Ride!" - Hunter S Thompson - RIP

Somehow I have the feeling I had this word not too far back...
βReal stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time.β

I've got a list of all previous words and it isn't in there (well it is now)

You are right of course...
But I was so sure, that I went and took a look into the code of Wordle...
Yes - I know tomorrow's solution 
The interesting thing that Wordle (as today) accepts 10665* words... I tried to check how many there are and found a number between 5 and 155 thousands...
Only 1971 answers left, which means I will have to stop playing a few days before age 55...
*10665 in addition to the correct answers...

Watching system usage, it blows my mind how much differently programs work. Right now Vivaldi has over sixty tabs open (way too much, even for me), and Task Manager shows ~1 GB. Firefox only has 3 tabs open, and it is at 1.8 GB. Even though 2 of those are for Facebook, the difference still seems staggering.
Just for curiosity's sake, I shut down FF, and reopened it. Without clicking on any other tabs, it still shot up to the same memory usage as Vivaldi. Clicking on the other tabs took it up to 1.2 GB, and scrolling FB quickly added another 100+ MB to it.
I see many people praising FF, but I still remember the old problems with it, including ever-expanding memory usage. It doesn't seem like the underlying memory usage has really been addressed, even after all these years.
Out of curiosity, I opened Vivaldi in Windows Sandbox, with the same 3 tabs. The memory usage was half that of FF. Firefox, I do wish you well. But it would be nice to see better engineering behind the scenes.

Meanwhile, Chrome is like "Oh, I see you have 32GB of RAM... It would be a shame if something happened to it..."
|
|
|
|
|
In the old days, Chrome was an absolute pig. I now have a Chrome window open with only 7 tabs, and it is far more memory efficient than FF would be, at only 472 MB. Chrome has done wonders with memory efficiency compared to FF, in my experience. But it seems the folks at Vivaldi have taken Chrome's base and polished the heck out of it. They have performed an absolutely impressive feat, especially with the additional tools they have given us, like command chains.

What irritates me about FF is that they never fix security vulnerabilities. We use Rapid7's InsightVM at work and even after updating Firefox, the same security vulnerabilities reappear. Chrome and Edge both fix security vulnerabilities. From this perspective I have banned FF from our work machines except for our marketing folks who have to test web-site updates in as many browsers as possible.

Sad to hear that. I like the idea of Firefox being an independent web browser, but things like this make it hard to take seriously.

My current job deals with a multi-gigabyte code base, a very complex application in the Finance sector. It's brilliantly designed, in my opinion, and uses OO to great effect.
However, there is zero internal documentation on how it works, how the data flows through the different layers and what components do what.
I have had to ask (over Teams) for every bit of knowledge I have about this application, and there are still places where I'm completely in the dark.
If I had to do it again, I'm not sure I would have taken this job, due to the frustration level. How important do you think internal documentation is, and would you take a job with a company that has none?
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Programs without appropriate documentation might as well not exist. They cannot be maintained and, sooner or later, they have to be replaced. Programs with documentation are means to transfer knowledge between people. And yes, they also happen to be executed by computers 
In other words, documentation is critical in my opinion.

I'm working on a much smaller scale project, but it also has this lack of documentation / explanation. It makes it difficult for new team members to get started on it. Documentation would have helped.
Now that you have the knowledge you can create some documentation 
|
|

|

Sadly there was no or completely infsufficient documentation in the companies I worked for.
Although it is easy to blame the developers, the real culprits I think are management that keeps asking for more bells and whistles instead of allowing time to document things properly.
