   I haven't had any issues with residue after a lot of use. The only thing to watch out for is writing too hard and leaving a scratch in the paper, but that's easy enough to avoid.

   If you're already using the frixion pens, you might like rocket book notebooks as well. They work with the frixion ink so that the pages wipe clean with a damp cloth, and there's also an app that will scan your notes to your cloud

   I get that the author can't change the forks himself, but his attitude that it's someone else's fault rubs me the wrong way. Blaming GMP for not having a "sane" process and for being a "trouble maker" whil

   Comcast is the only real option around here, and for years almost every time I had connection problems it ended up being their DNS. I've switched to 1.1.1.1 and haven't looked back.

   We had an extra metagame where if nobody was doing business with you you could try to wrestle the controller from their hands and make your own deals.

    It's not like this is the only thing they're doing with Thunderbird, and it's not like the graphic designers would have been optimizing the SMTP code if they weren't busy with the logo.

    As an aside, I really like the disclaimer's approach, kind of like the Disney+ messages on certain movies, where they say they don't necessarily agree with something but still present it in the original form.

    Yeah, I probably should have included a disclaimer that not everything works as well as it does on Linux. I mostly use the notification mirroring and file transfers, and those have both worked fine for me.

    "Everything goes in the repo" is one of the main features of the Fossil [0] SCM which is built and used by the SQLite team. It's a neat idea and I wish something like that had caught on. [0] https://www.fossil-scm.

    I started using Autopy [0] for writing scripts to automate games on Windows, and then discovered that scrcpy lets me do the same for Android. I've used it for solving picross puzzles and right now I'm working on a solver for the Z

    To be fair it's not like Delphi saw a bunch of innovation under Embarcadero, either.

    I'd even settle for a sit-down with the writers and show runners where they go over what the ending would have been, even if they don't get a chance to actually film it.

    There's a "zssh" project that wraps an SSH session with ZModem handling, but it would be neat to see a tool like that this didn't require sz and rz installed. [0] https://zssh.sourceforge.net/

    Emulated or not, old Turbo Pascal programs would crash on any computer faster than about 200MHz. The initialization code for the CRT module would try to calibrate timing for the Delay function and the division would overflow if the processo

    Tog is pretty famously on the "the mouse is faster than the keyboard" side of the debate, so it doesn't really surprise me that he's not enamored with terminals and shells.
