   Second this. It's not done merely as a superficial narrative gimmick.

   As somebody with a small side-project that would benefit from search, this sounds like a pretty good deal! Will have to give this a spin and see.

   Neat idea! When I played through your Quantum Game levels, the confetti in Level 3 kept raining while I was playing the next level. Thought you might want to know (and fix) that.

    I recently discovered systemd-nspawn and was amazed at how lightweight a basic container can be.

    That was a neat article. I had no idea those guys weighed in on the Segway (and gave it a hard pass).

    Thank you for that reference. It's astonishing how "experts" can construct complex frameworks for justifying their personal failure of imagination.

    My experience has been that most ads that "follow me around" peddle the exact same thing I purchased most recently. No, I will not buy a second electric kettle again, let alone the exact make and model that I now own. I'd rat

    This is a great observation! The blinking-indicates-editable-via-buttons-mode is a mental model you either have or you do not. It is certainly not axiomatic and needs some experimentation to learn. Digital writwatches with those standard th
