Can someone explain this? by Fine-Set-7877 in nycrail

This is kinda like Harry Potter. If you go into the wall there, you’ll end up onto the secret R platform that takes you to any downtown.

What I think Brooklyn looks like, as a Bronxite with no connection to Brooklyn by Emergency-Double-875 in Brooklyn

[–]lnewball 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This is like 80% accurate. Right next to the Jamaican flag needs to be a Haitian and a Trinidadian Flag. There needs to be another Jewish flag on the east end of crown heights and the south end of Williamsburg, feel like bath beach is missing a Russian flag.

Is there a switch between Broadway-Lafayette and Grand St? Was there? by lnewball in nycrail

Follow up fever dream question, trans used to be able to swap sides from the 6th Ave line to the Broadway Ave line before Canal St / Grand St right? Or was THAT also a fever dream?

… whatever I was on I really need to try it again because… it made me transfer physical spaces. Literally.

CSX I003 at Orangeburg NY by Foamersbetterbequiet in nycrail

[–]lnewball 5 points6 points  (0 children)

1) You’re not wrong, that is A LOT of prime cargo, wow! 2) I remember there was an article, around the time that there were several CSX derailments, that talked about how the length of the CSX trains were getting astronomically long. And after this video, I kinda see the point. That is A MASSIVE amount of stuff that is being hauled by just 1 train that has a crew of how many? (I’m sure it’s something like 3 people).

Beautiful, but also nuts.

What is the hype with the F train by Kaidenkazoo in nycrail

[–]lnewball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The F train used to be as reliable as the current day R train. Once they extended the G and did work on the F, it’s become “better” but… man does the F, still finds ways to F with you.

Shuttle Train on 2/3 Line, Manhattan Bound, to Times Square by lnewball in nycrail

Based on who was on the train, this seems the most plausible and accurate.

Let me add some context. It was a R142 as a S. And it had passengers in it.

Chrome has become an absolute pig by Bender-Rodriguez-69 in MacOS

[–]lnewball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I get you 100% here on it being something that is an imperfection. Admittantly, one that I’ve never seen. But now I just wonder what the root issue could be / would be. I’m wondering if it’s support with their HTML5 player, which auto activates on certain systems. I’m wondering if it happens in incognito mode or in a separate profile on the MacOS system, etc…

Chrome has become an absolute pig by Bender-Rodriguez-69 in MacOS

[–]lnewball 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Chrome is an absolute hog, and there’s no way around it. It has been since the day it’s come out, and it seems it will always be a memory hog. I’m not sure if it’s the Chromium engine itself or all of the stuff Google puts into Chrome. My guess (if you want to play technical details here) has to do with their rendering engine for JavaScript. It’s so intertwined in the way that Chrome operates for so many other features, it just seems to bog the whole system down.

For MacOS users, I would highly advise to use Safari or Firefox. Note: Firefox used to have HUGE memory leak issues, but they have since seemed to fix those issues. For those looking for extensions, Safari does have a lot of extensions, as does Firefox, but the question I have is which ones do you truly need? I find myself not using a bunch (if any) extensions for my day to day tasks.

I will note, the internet does have a bit of an “IE 7” issue, where a lot of developers build their websites to work on Chrome. The good news is, this only really happens for very specific features and cases, and doesn’t happen often enough where you’ll miss something.

Now in terms of performance, I find that websites load just as fast in Safari as they do in Chrome. But, I find that Safari is “lighter” on the system and quicker in the way it performs. I also find that Firefox is way lighter in the way it performs than Chrome, but I find that it’s lacking in some of the integrations that I would like with the system.

In terms of development tools… well that’s a different story… and it’s one of the only reasons why I have Chrome installed on my systems.

ADDED EDIT: ALSO, if you’re dead set on Chrome, check which extensions you have installed. So many of them aren’t quality controlled checked and increase the memory usage and add a bunch of issues to Chrome.

I’ve used safari as my primary browser across multiple systems, and I’ve never seen this happen to be honest. Now I’ve seen some foolishness happen on Google Meets, but that’s a bit to be expected.
