Edit:
* fixed the script to use every instead of forEach so that I could exit early from the loop.

 

Too easy

 

@jim718181 - That pattern I used above of "creating a new script and then using @require on the script you want to change" can be an effective way to persist some modifications through updates, as long as what you're trying to change isn't accessed before you try to change it.

 

anyone doing the Brandon cui batch? Its either gonna be amazing or terrible...

 

I had to edit it out because I'm only on a 13" laptop and space is limited. I have PC in its own window on a second virtual desktop, but moving over to my main desktop gives me the "hey" bullshit. I've tested it being 100% in view and this way and there was absolutely no difference in performance, but the script thinks it's hidden. So, it's pretty obnoxious to say the least.

 

Low-performance laptop? And which browser? And is it today's update (yesterday's update used a different method that would say "hey" if it was minimized)?

From a quick glance at the changes, it seems that Panda Crazy is determining whether it's in a tab by event timing discrepancies now.
I can easily imagine that a low-performance computer, or one saddled with too much software, etc., could encounter these even without being in a tab.

 

& Chrome

I've tested it being 100% in view, staring at it and only it, collecting a batch. Then I put it in the second VD and did the same and it collected in the exact amount of time. Then I tested it against it being a background tab and clearly saw a major difference. There's no difference between it being in view and being in view on the other desktop, but it yells at me the second I tab over to my main work screen.

 

Very interesting.

I can't cross-platform test on Mac OS.

Adds fuel to the fire for wanting to get a MacBook for web development in spite of otherwise hating the price/performance ratio of Macs and absolutely despising the terrible keyboards that MacBooks come with.

 

Greetings and salutations! And all that stuff.

 

I should also add that I do see a difference between FF and Chrome. PC in FF became paralyzed a few days ago being in its own window on the second desktop, but Chrome hasn't missed a step.

The keyboard and trackpad are actually why I can't untrain myself from mac, lol. I was on windows my entire life until ~7 years ago and now I feel like a caveman when I try to use it just because it's so far away from where my workflow and muscle memory is. I can't say I'm a mac fangirl or anything, it's just what works for me personally. I can attest to the durability of this sucker though. I kinda treat it like trash and there's no reason it should still be running like a champ, but it is. *knock on wood*
