   You're assuming that if the senior goes you're all in the clear. Most regimes of this sort have succession plans. I was born the year of the Iranian revolution. If I was from there I'd be staring at spending essentially my en

   Lots of editors and IDEs came and went while Emacs/Vim persisted. Through my three decade career I recall the ascents and downfalls of tools like BRIEF, CodeWright, NEdit, JEdit, TextPad, Notepad++, Visual Studio, JBuilder, Eclipse, Su

   I'd prefer if I had several moves to make after a single roll of the dice. Also I block html5 auto playback by default which you appear to use for some animation stuff. It'd be great if the game could work without it.

   What's the technical underpinning of this? Is this a novel prompt to 3D technique or is this a user interface on something preexisting?

   This and also I don't want a tumor on the back of my phone. Can we go back to flat bodies at the expense of camera quality? For some of us phone cameras are really not _that_ important.

    What an absurd argument. Even if granting the dubious assertion that increased gambling is a sign of a booming economy it's not a good idea to celebrate people's dreams of unearned riches. This will lead to a lot of heartbreak and

    It's quite nice and really lightweight but it's also very basic. So basic you can't even click on the table name in the side panel to see a preview of the data. I use it every day but yearn for a few more features.

    This just calls out to the openai endpoint. It's not so much that "SORA was "leaked" but it's just access to SORA. Which I'm guessing will be cut off very soon. In other words, very little to see here.

    I still bemoan the demise of openlook and especially the "motorized" scrollbar. It was amazing how functional something as simple as a scrollbar can be when pushed ot its limits. I hate the "clean" look of modern UI tool
