Lichess on chrome let's me use however many logical processors I have. For whatever reason I can only get a single thread on Firefox.

I'm not sure why either, because a while back I could use how ever many threads I wanted on Firefox.

I'm curious why, what does face unlock do for you that fingerprint doesn't?

If I'm unlocking my phone, I have my hands on my phone, so using my fingerprint isn't a hassle. Plus with COVID and needing to wear masks, I can still unlock my phone easily without needing to pull down my mask.

The channel name is the same as the github username of the deno db author, so I think it is actually related despite the content not seeming to be

Yes it is irrational. That's a common statistical misconception, the key thing here is that every flip has a 60% chance of being heads.

The result of each flip is completely independent of what came before it. In your example the 7th flip is just as likely to be heads as the first flip, or any of the other 5 flips that landed on heads.

My system primarily revolves around Instapaper[0].

If I run into anything that looks like it might be intereseting I save it to Instapaper using the browser extension on my workstation, or the app on my phone / tablet.

I also have a handful of email lists that automatically forward into instapaper, and a couple rss feeds that auto send to instapaper (Via ifttt[1]).

When I want to actually consume content I use the instapaper iPadOS app, which has a simple and clean UI. (This can also be done in your browser if you prefer)
