Layers. PDF is an absurdly complex file format. It's part of the reason there is no single "good" PDF reader, just a lot of mediocre PDF readers that are all terrible in their own way. Which is a topic for another day. There

I assume: Why programmers like cooking: You peel the carrot, you chop the carrot, you put the carrot in the stew. You don’t suddenly find out that your peeler is several versions behind and they dropped support for carrots in 4.3 https:&#x

You gotta look into the Venezuela thing further. It's more geopolitical, specifically about reducing Chinese influence in South America. Now, whether that's needed or whether the US is handling it in a "good way" is all

I know OpenAI watermarks their stuff. But I wish they wouldn't. It's a "false" trust. Now it means whoever has access to uncensored/non-watermarking models can pass off their faked images as real and claim, "Lo

I really dislike how iOS handles dictation as a keyboard feature. I want to try this keyboard, but I also don't want to give up dictation. If I have to switch back to the iOS keyboard to enable dictation, that's just enough fricti

Especially where it is just an electron app. I don’t want to run your webpage in a web browser I have no control over. My normal browser has been tediously customized and tailored for my usability.
