    Hence the groups having the ticket name related to the task I am working on. When the task closes I delete that group once I’ve ensured anything important for future context is documented and then I say goodbye with confidence.

    I don’t bookmark things for work tasks, I log them in tickets or commit it to readme/code comments/team docs somewhere.

    Edit: I should also note that my workflow uses Simple Tab Groups and not much of this new core feature.

    Simple tab groups hides all other tabs and you switch groups via a dropdown. I usually only have 10-12 tabs open at once.

    The way they did it though… the tab group name cant be collapsed so it takes a lot of room. I find I’m still using task oriented groups from the Simple Tab Groups extension, and then using the new core groups feature as a way to group subtopics for that task.

    And before you say “you must have a million tabs”… I used to have millions of tabs, but now i average less than 100 when I have a lot of tasks I need to balance, and I know what all of them are open for. So when I complete a task I delete the Simple Tab Group and say by Felicia to all those tabs.

    Ok those rooms are certainly illusions. My mind was tricked and even after reading how they work I still cannot quite see how when I watch the video. A perfect illusion.

    I still wouldn’t call the post for this thread an illusion as there is no trick, just pure perspective. You simply tilt your phone, you see what is happening, and you understand it because its basic physics you were taught in elementary.

    This is like the amateur magician. A trickster that knows a few party tricks but is so bad at executing them they are no illusionist. But a master magician uses simple things like perspective and skill to create tricks that are such great illusions that the scientific mind cannot quite work out what has really just happened even though they know it’s a trick. This post is the amateur magician, the Ames room is the master. Both use perspective but in different ways on different levels.

    I have no context for this example, have a link? I’ve seen the crazy kitchen at the Museum of Science and Tech in Ottawa that has a similarly themed illusion, but in that one the floors are level but painted in a way that tricks your brain into thinking its angled, but its not, which is 100% illusion.

    Thus what I am imagining for your example is that the floor is in fact angled, but the paint makes it look straight, so the short person is infact elevated above the tall person in a way you cannot tell, creating an effect where perspective due to a physical difference makes you think they are on the same level but the illusion provided by the floor messes with that, creating an illusion that is really just perspective.

    But there is no trick in this post. You know you’re tilting the phone, there’s no illusion. Its pure angles and you’re completely aware of what is occuring, thus no illusion. The definition of illusion is pretty clear, what you are seeing must be false or erroneous.

    noun

    1. An erroneous perception of reality.

      “Mirrors gave the illusion of spaciousness.”

    2. An erroneous concept or belief.

      “The notion that money can buy happiness is an illusion.”

    3. The condition of being deceived by a false perception or belief.

      “spent months flailing about in illusion.”
