I like to have it both ways. Given the options available so far I've preferred to have bookmarks shared between both and mainly keep tabs / working context separate.

The best I've managed so far is to run separate instances of Firefox with the same Sync Account which appear as separate 'devices'. Nightly with a different icon and theme makes it obvious which is which.

This way if I come across something interesting I want dig into further on my own time, I can bookmark it as well as 'Send Tab To Device -> Home' or 'Phone' depending on where I want to be and what environment I want to have available when I see it later (e.g. read only, or hands on).

Yes, I may be hoarding a lot of tabs but that's a separate issue...

I miss the blue coloured model which had rumble/vibration feedback, just before everything moved to wireless which wouldn’t have had good enough battery tech at the time to continue it. Today, if they can fit them into tiny Nintendo controllers, surely it could be done well again…

It sounds very similar to a 'Saccade' [1]. Something your eyes do all the time when waking whenever they move. From your mind's perspective it seems to cut off the old signal from wherever yours eyes were previously facing/absorbing, wipes the slate clean and starts building up mental imagery and models based on the new input feed.

I think this might be getting at what they mean by 'change of scene', but it's probably not possible to prove exactly what's happening since it's subjective.

As an experiment you can do yourself to highlight this effect, go to you bathroom and look into the mirror with your face almost touching it, staring at the point between your eyes.

Try not to move your eyes at all and relax them, even if it feels like they might be moving off-target. Eventually your whole 'view' should subtly change, maybe blur and come into and out of seeming focus as your brain tries to interpret the noisy input it's getting (since nothing should be changing, the only difference in the input is noise) and may refocus your mental imagery/minds eye at showing you what it thinks you're looking at.

Has anyone evaluated or started a new project incorporating a BPM process/execution engine recently?

With so many super old tools available, it seems like it could be hard to tell which projects have kept up with modern expectations for ease of configuration and use. That and digging past all the buzzword marketing talk aimed at non-technicals.

Is there a way to remove the styles but apply some others instead which highlight the borders and natural layout of the elements?

Kind of like if you turned off styles and used the inspect feature of your browser but with all it's mouse-over highlights and guidelines turned on at once.

I'd like to see either an add-on which is a lamp bright enough to gradually wake you up with blue light, or for it to be able to work with things like LIFX or Phillips Hue to do the same.

I do most of my editing on remote machines (both at work and at home) and haven't really been able to find a setup that works smoothly for this.

Is everyone else developing everything on their local machines?
