For some reason, Chrome's icon always reminds me of Simon[^]. 
I think the Edge icon actually looks closer to the Firefox icon, although it's reversed the polarity of the neutron flow direction of spin - Edge turns widdershins, and Firefox turns sunwise.

I take this means that Edge is a source of bad cess, while Firefox...

template specializations of my specializations
firing chain upon chain of computation
with an alpha blend, a palette match and
a dash of magic, I hope...
which turns to ashes in my mouth,
my indices, unindexed,
my palettes left cold and alone
I'm faced with an unflinching black screen
with no debugger I am fraught
printfs everywhere
i spelunk with abandon
throwing code hither and yon
faced with unblinking black
a technicolor failure
I scatter more printfs
i

Quote: Face down, nine-edge first.
Wonder how many of today's devs know what that means without looking it up?
(I remember it well).
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

In my first year in University, we still had to program using punched cards. The next year, they installed these new-fangled terminals. We still ran everything on the mainframe, though.

I have been messing around with the style settings of IntelliJ IDEA. Making different class instances different colors, the same with other types and operators against a high contrast black background. (Yes! I know the people who wrote the Microsoft guidelines for the styling of productivity apps will be horrified, but elephant them! )
So She came up behind me and looked at my monitor over my shoulder. "Those are pretty pictures!" She said.
In my lifetime I have had my code called different things, but 'Pretty Pictures' is a new one!

Heck yeah! I always twiddle with the color scheme until I get something I like.
My editor background is ebffdd, it's a nice pale green easy on the eyes. Got it from HumptyDumpty magazine from when I was a child 50 years ago. Every issue explained why the paper was a pale green.
I can't do the dark mode stuff.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

I was just signing up for (YAOA) Yet Another Online Account -- Microchip.com.
When I attempted to add my shortened (only 32 chars pwd -- Usually use 64) I got the following:

Think About This
If the password is hashed, it doesn't matter how many characters the password is, because they are storing the hash!!!
This absolutely proves that whoever created this web site login have no understanding of anything that is related to create a web site login. 
That is my rant. Thank you for participating.

You really don't spend enough time in QA.

Quite right. I avoid QA so as not to lose what remains of my hair and my sanity.

Ahhh but you see that's not its only purpose.
I suppose if I visited that section in a different mind-set I'd be disappointed and frustrated.
The experience I have is in fact, the opposite.
Perhaps that's because I consider it the go-to place for comedy. (It always delivers)

They are probably not hashing the password.
I had a similar experience not long ago where, not only were they not hashing the password but, on signup, they sent me the password in clear text to my email (and every month since) and, they published my email on their website feed celebrating the fact that they had one more costumer.
I complained about all that and they told me that they stored the passwords in clear text so that they could better help costumers having trouble signing in.
When I then asked them to erase my account they told me they couldn't because it would break their system since it was not prepared to remove accounts. So much for the right to forget.

At which point you should offer your services to redo their website (spit) to conform to legal requirements, at a reasonably inflated price of course.

Unfortunately I do not know web programming (only some basic HTML 2.0 without CSS).
But I would be able to redo implement their database with proper password hashing .

The only tool you need is a sledge hammer to adjust their servers with. No webby code crap needed.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

That's the typical moment where a "you'll soon hear from my lawyer" (even when it might be a lie) is pretty handy.
