The Apocalypse Fast-Track

A minimalist single-panel cartoon of a debate. An agitated man in a suit yells from a podium: "Climate change is NOT going to destroy the world!! We will destroy the world ourselves before climate change gets the chance!!" A calm scientist watches from the opposite podium.

2 ways to copy tooltip text from a web page

Image
There are times when I've wanted the tool-tip text that appears on hovering over a link or an icon within a web page. The cumbersome way is to select the object that has the tooltip and then use Inspect element option in Chrome (as shown in the animated GIF below) or open Developer Tools (F12 keyboard shortcut in popular browsers) select the element containing the tooltip and grab the desired text from HTML code. Inspect Element option in Chrome I found a simpler option that works with tool-tips on some websites (not all) Select the word before and after the image containing the tooltip and when the tool tip appears, copy the selected text. Copy it from the clipboard and remove the extra words after you paste Select tooltip & its surrounding words, copy & paste I've tested this crude trick in IE 11, Firefox 34 and Chrome 39 (all on Windows) (The animated GIFs were generated using the ScreenToGif open-source tool)

TWIL - Week #6

This Week I Learned: Programming: IE10 for the phone and the PC are built on the same engine and use the same renderer which means that what you see on your desktop (or tablet) is what you'll see on your phone. Additionally, the web browser control in Windows Phone apps is a full instance of IE10, with the same speed and power as the native phone browser. An analysis of the world’s top 1000 URLs reveals that page weight increased 28% from March 2012 (822 K) to March 2013 (1053 KB). The median page load time on desktops got ~3.5% faster, and on mobile was ~18% ~30% faster . General: To quickly watch YouTube screencasts: open video in HTML5 mode > cog > set speed to 1.5 Standalone SWF, PDF files can be viewed with Chrome Samsung's cost of materials and manufacturing to produce the U.S. version of the S 4 is slightly above $237 a unit.

This Week I Learned - Week 27 2026

This Week I Learned -  *  Intensive Vibe Coding Course With Google - self-paced Kaggle Learn guide * Forward Deployed Engineers (FDEs) bridge internal development and real-world deployment by embedding with enterprise clients to build solutions while guiding the product roadmap.  FDEs are the "Technical Special Ops" who bridge the gap (The Delta) between a core product and a client’s messy, real-world reality. * Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis and researcher John Jumper won the Nobel Prize in chemistry for their work on the company’s AlphaFold model, and DeepMind has also made major contributions to meteorology, materials science, and a variety of other disciplines. John Jumper is leaving DeepMind for Anthropic.  * Like Claude Code, Claude Science can autonomously carry out meaningful work when given concise, high-level instructions, and it has access to tools that make it particularly useful for research in computational biology and drug development. C...
