good article. >>It’s like, Chapter 1: Learning Your A,B,Cs. Chapter 2: >>Learning Your 1,2,3s. Chapter 3: Differential Calculus! I hate this, but most authors do it. I recently bought a "beginner" book on Rust that pr

Whatever the default is-- I guess safesearch on? It only happened for a brief time, so I guess it was a bug in DDG. But when it did happen, it was serious enough I stopped using DDG at work completely.

I have been using DDG for a few years, and find a few problems with their results: * Some spammy links slip thru-- these are dumb sites with lot of stuffed keywords and zero actual content. I dont get these with Google. I've usually se

What I loved about Half-life demo-- it was a completely new level not in the original game--but it still had all the main things that made the game fun (aliens, marines, puzzles etc). For music -- I guess you do need a killer opening, as pe
