   On Linux I made a ~/bin/pbcopy that does the right thing because all the Linux commands are stupidly difficult to remember compared to "pbcopy".

   Appreciate it! I know it's kindof niche, but Tiny Combat Arenas description seems exactly on point, unfortunate that it's only on PC. I never considered Star Wars Squadrons, all the reviews on console seriously dragged the game, a

   There was an ooooold DOS game called Flight Unlimited that correctly(-ish) modeled flaps, rudder, etc, and ran you through a flight school to teach barrel rolls, Immelmann turns, etc. I've been looking for an Xbox/Console game tha

   I misinterpreted the outcome, my thought was along the lines of "are they creating (eg) SSH keys out of magnetic charges and radix-sorting them to find the factors" (or something). eg: https://www.youtube.com/watch

    Technically, interestingly, if `bazel` were used as the build tool, it would avoid the straightforward ability to cross-contaminate the build executable with the test code... Yeah, `bazel run test:...` would have access to the test files, b

    Probably something like dom-swapping the google login page or whatever. If you can keep arbitrary CSS transitions running, I could imagine doing a bunch of weird stuff where you don't know exactly what box you're typing in to. h

    Highly recommend against it! Instead of 100 customers at $10 you're cannibalizing (let's say) to 80 customers at $10 + 40 at $5. So a +20% revenue "bump", but you lose all quality control of peoples perception of your

    Reading through, they're describing kindof "eras" of best practices. Like "hex" and "base64" might never change (so might never update), but those are kindof prime name tokens. It made me think: `std::hex
