I think for difficulty 4+ pen & paper is necessary because there are too many constraints to consider, so I made myself a small helper based on rlorenzo's comment [0]

It's possible on Windows too using Windows Registry shell extension[0], which uses Windows Shell Namespaces under the hood.

Apache Tomcat is a web server for Java web applications, different from the Apache HTTP server (your 'apache2').

Tried the same and it shows "-4.75h" with a dot, not a colon.

As 4.75 hours translates to 4 hours and 45 minutes, it's correct, maybe not intuitive at first glance.

I was not able to find one, but this js snippet:

> https://gist.github.com/capfsb/3fd1b700b4732debb29aefd576cf5...

correctly reports 240hz for me.

The fun thing is that 240 makes everything too slow, whereas 120 works fine.

Probaly not a browser issue, looking at this line of the generated JS:

> var physics_scene = squint_core.atom(({ "gravity": [0, 0], "dt": (1 / 60), "balls": [], "obstacles": [], "flippers": [], "score": 0 }));

I think it run faster for any refresh rate higher than 60hz.

Changing the value from 60.0 to 120.0 in this line:

> :dt (/ 1.0 60.0) ;; slow down sim

and recompiling, makes it run correctly.

Years ago i added a url to not be crawled nor indexed to a web app I worked on to block bad crawlers, so I disallowed crawling through robots.txt and added a hidden link in the footer with the "noindex" attribute.

Google, Bing, Archive.org, and people normally browsing were just fine while bad crawlers got a blank page.

From the Rational Wiki[0]:

"Just asking questions (also known as JAQing off) is a way of attempting to make wild accusations acceptable (and hopefully not legally actionable) by framing them as questions rather than statements. It shifts the burden of proof to one's opponent; rather than laboriously having to prove that all politicians are reptoid scum, one can pull out one single odd piece of evidence and force the opponent to explain why the evidence is wrong."

I think it's about this.

I tried what you said and it doesn't work with "javascript:" uris (probably to prevent running of unwanted code?).

Firefox bar is not "broken", as every browser I tested has the same behavior, and I think it's because a valid uri should only contain ASCII characters (as described in RFC3896[0]), but I agree with you that it's annoying: it should copy the text as it's displayed.

Fun fact: Internet explorer let you copy the uri "as is" without encoding.

Manually add "javascript:" at the beginning, it gets stripped when you paste it.
