Of course, I’m intimately familiar with particular individuals that society has decided is ok to constantly berate and tell them they know what’s best for them and that they’re too thin and they aren’t eating enough and etc etc etc. Keep in

If all surfaces are fully opaque, maybe. The second particle effects and volumetric effects and all sorts of advanced techniques play a role in actual gameplay, no. And that’s only for this one type of cheating.

This makes AM radio more fun to listen to, as you get knobs for both your radio and your mental “tuner”. At night, you can pretty consistently hear 3+ broadcasts at once, and listen to them all simultaneously a la overhearing many conversat

If you don’t vendor your dependencies. Which is a poor practice that is commonly associated with NPM, but is by no means a requirement of the technology.

NPM’s original sin was making package installation and general management so painless that folks installed micro packages for everything. Can’t really fault the software for that. The issue was, as you say, the introduction of ESM. It use

It’s not about 100C vs 90C, it’s about the sudden change from 25C to 95C, versus a gradual change from 25C up to ~70C.

Sometimes I agree, but recently I was trying to copy all the contents from one Quip to another and the system was entirely unable to support pasting the same look&feel I copied. No, I don’t want my headings and links and code and lists
