Just came out of a meeting where new management styles were mentioned, Kanban in particular.
That goes referenced an 'Can Can', which made me think of Can Can dancers.
And then my Scottish heritage kicked in...
Think about men in kilts doing the Can Can dance...

As a child, our refrigerator had a spring loaded latch on the door; newer ones seems to have a magnetic seal.
My older brother told our younger brother to stick his finger in the latch; when the younger brother did that, the latch snapped and hit his finger.
Much yelling ensued...
Our Dad said to the older brother, "Some day, I'll even the score with you for him...."
I reminded my older brother of that periodically until our Dad passed...

Where is the mind bleach?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Kanban isn't exactly "new". We ran screaming away from it at the office years ago.

Has anyone else noticed that Firefox is lagging pretty bad?
=================
Never mind, just noticed that I had an update pending, and it went from 32-bit to 64-bit... Seems better now.

phew, thought it was just me/my machines
...funny thing is it stared lagging about the time it started nagging to update (again again again, ffs mozilla, getting as bad as chrome which needs to check for updates every 10 minutes even when not in use.)
and ffs, what is with this hyper accelerated release sh*t, it's a complete royal pain in the ass - even when problems are found it's about 3 versions later before they maybe sometimes get to it.
No wonder people don't trust software, the "industry leaders" are killing it all.
lawyers move over, it'll be software devs first against the wall when the revolution starts.

The big question is...
...Do you have an SSD or HDD in the machine where you are seeing the lag?
These modern times with SOFTWARE TAKING OVER OUR MACHINES (updates whenever they want, etc) (who's yelling? ) require an SSD.
Win 10 has done this to me and my entire family on various machines and FF has definitely done this in the past and Chrome too. All our machines have been upgraded to SSDs.
HDDs are now dead tech, due to bad choices of over-utilization of I/O by Software Devs. 
Okay, I'm going off a bit, but really the I/O stuff is crazy. SSD required.

Windows 10 Mobile tried to attract users by letting them run the same "universal apps" on both their PCs and handsets, but the concept failed to catch on.
Are they suggesting UWP is no longer a thing?
(of course that's assuming UWP was ever a thing to begin with)

I'm wondering the same thing. This is kind of crazy news -- and the news about the Surface gone in 2019 also.
Maybe,since they are going with Edge on all devices they are thinking Progressive Web App tech.
Even if they didn't mean to completely kill UWA they did.

It'll be universal on windows 10, and now that there's 3 (or is it 4) different types/editions whatevers of w10 (which was also promised not to happen) with subtypes to come that'll be a lot of platform.
seems nads really is betting everything on azure, and with competition growing (prices will drop) too bad ... [snip] [soapbox]

...and of course they still have the "N" versions that nobody pays attention to. Did I forget anything?

Apparently there's a "K" version, which is specific to Korea (in some manner).
