.. which they seem to achieve through an extension to the URL scheme, as in:
https://examplesite.com/page?param=search#:~:text=word_to_highlight
So :~: is a sort of separator / indicator, and text = is a parameter name. I wonder what other parameters can be passed in this scheme, and also wonder if existing pages will break as a result? I guess not, since the new syntax follows the # marker used to identify a target on the page, and I assume (though have never tried) that :~: is not valid as a target name...
BTW it seems this feature came out in v90 this April..

I just highlight the text and drag it to the address bar, been doing this forever with various browsers.

In Chrome, that just seems to do a google search on the text?

It's always a matter of whoever gets there first, isn't it? He was also declared to be the first so-called "green billionaire".
It's no coincidence. He saw the opportunity, and has been investing heavily ever since in industries that stand to profit the most from breakthroughs in sustainability. Can't say I blame him.

Yep, whatever is the key
To be honest for me that means something like 'dont post anything' here in the Lounge
And no, I didn't make this up, it's a rule, see Lounge above

But yes, it's a topic that can become trollish very fast.

I confess, I have never looked at the posting rules, (rules aren't my strong suit! ), but I'm surprised "climate" is off limits. Is it a contentious issue? Surely it's about as contentious as smoking!
My aim was to highlight the insight, vision and brilliance of Carl Sagan, rather than push any agenda. Why would I? I'll be long dead before droughts, fires and floods have devastated large parts of the planet. Not my problem!
So if I, in any way, accidentally, suggested that the climate was in crisis and threatening our very existence, I apologise unreservedly.

Yes, climate became contentious, thanks to fat_boy.
Cheers,

...and that's why, on the No Agenda podcast, they keep saying Build Back Better - for someone else. They even have a great jingle about it.

On a petty little machine, once every 10th of a second I need to update a graph in real time. Currently it's a graph where each point is a line that starts at the origin and continues to the value, so it is like a line graph but it is all "filled in".
I need to overlay a second graph. I'm connected @ 20Mhz to a display that even if I could figure out how to read from its framebuffer i couldn't do it at the speed necessary to do true alpha blending.
So I'm going to do fake alpha blending.
Each point in the graph will now be a multicolored line, where each line segment is blended to indicate the data point(s) it represents. For example if one dataset was red and the other was blue, where they intersect would be purple.
That means I divvy the line up into 1-2 segments and draw those instead of drawing a single line.
And I should be able to do that every 100ms without dropping frames.
Woo.
The project is starting to get fun.
As an aside, I put my foot down with my client on behalf of our end-end client (I'm kind of in a multi-layered client structure right now. I work for someone and we collectively work for someone else)
He's an electrical engineer, and I enjoy working with him, in part because of that, but I won't let him get his dirty fingers all over my beautiful UI. I told him "less is more" over and over again. Normally I give my clients what they ask for good and hard, but I'm taking a different approach this time because I actually like this project.
