Don't most PDF reader software (Adobe or otherwise) have the functionality to let you imprint a signature onto a PDF file and save it as a new file? You'd have to set up your signature (likely by scanning it) the first time, but o

IMO this was why the early web was so powerful as a way to on-ramp new developers. I learned coding a little bit before the web, from school materials like writing Pascal programs in DOS, in early 90s. Those were fun little exercises for sc

I feel like that's not all of it; there is a certain expectation for parking to be free from many people and I feel like it's because the demand for parking can be drastically different in geographically nearby locations. For exam

I haven't used anything with GPT-3 first hand (chatbot or other use cases) so reading this article was one of my first exposure to it. It somewhat surprises me that a chatbot powered by GPT-3 doesn't seem that much different from

From what I've observed, wires outside almost entirely depend on how new the city is. Old cities have wires outside, new cities don't, that's really it; nothing to do with how rich they are. Palo Alto is an old city. I live i

This is super anecdotal and personal, but that quote sounds exactly like me. I'm Asian and didn't come from Greenland. Consuming sugar usually causes me those things, especially in high dose (like eating a slice of cake). Fortunat

IMO debt is a complicated topic -- One could criticize debt as traps for the poor, one could also criticize that the rich can use debts to maximize leverages / avoid taxes. Is debt something you don't want to get into? If so then

Yes! My thoughts exactly. I'm pretty desperate for an OS UI that looks like this. KDE comes close but still too modernized. Would love to try Serenity on a laptop some time. Anyone know how usable this is as a daily driver?
