   This is really great. Lots of the images were really striking! I'd love to see something like this scaled up, maybe pulling headlines from multiple sources to generate different images for the same story? Regardless, awesome work David

   LastPass is terrible if you want to use it for automation. There is no official support for the CLI interface (it's a community project), and it does not work on Windows by default (you'd need to install cygwin on every single ser

    Should work for any Chromium-based browser, such as Edge, Vivaldi or Opera. One of the few good things that comes from homogenizing browsers under one engine: they all pretty much work the same.

    Are you claiming that "young" people can't join the professional workforce? Are they joining some other, "unfessional" workforce? Is there an age limit at which you're Old(tm) and then are able to be a true pro

    If you're hosting the browser-based version over a server like Apache2 (to host the files), you could add a `RewriteRule` to redirect queries to `.js` resources to their `.mjs` counter-part files. Example: RewriteRule "(.*).js$&qu

    Minecraft servers aren't really great at region-based sharding. Mojang have not yet added a "transfer packet"[0] which would allow for region-based switching. For the most part, one would need to re-join the server under a di
