    I didn't say generate :) - in all seriousness, I think you could reasonably have it copy the code for e.g. lodash.merge() and paste it into your codebase without the headaches you'…

    Sounds like the job for an LLM tool to extract what's actually used from appropriately-licensed OSS modules and paste directly into codebases.

    I built https://www.stoodious.app for my wife while she was studying for her California Real Estate Broker's Exam. She was frustrated with the price gouging on text books, or being…

    To echo further, they may be leaning on something like the [ja4 fingerprint]( https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=8997844... ) (which you'd need to rebuild curl to…

    I have the same phenomena - loud sharp noise is like a flashbulb goes off. Reading another commenter mention EHS and looking it up, I don’t think that’s it either. Have had multipl…

    Plus one-ing this - I think the external monitor may be the kicker to keeping the mic active. This drives me up the wall when Google Meet decides to just default to the closed Macb…

    Again those are typically for limited runs - for unlimited runs they're surprisingly inexpensive.

    Typically these prices are for unlimited print runs as opposed to a run of a 100 or less (which command more money obviously, due to supply). I have a Haring print in my home that …

    One of my favorite cities - went there on my honeymoon in 2019. The river-turned-park is beautiful and the whole old town area of the city is just full of "play". Check out this sw…

    Yeah this is one of those perspective things. I’m on a once-a-month regimen of eyeball injections to stave off macular degeneration. I’d trade it in a heartbeat for allergy-reducin…

    This is a fascinating thread under this comment. Everyone is keying off of one part of the comment (querier pays) and not the more critical issue IMO - anticipating security and bu…

    My only problem with Bluey is actually a problem with the Disney+ app on my Vizio TV. The episodes are all fairly short, but then there’s like 5m of credits before the next episode…

    No worries - the shots are indeed for MD. I actually don’t have the retinopathy you have, but am unlucky in the eye department in other ways. Retinal detachment was passed to me fr…

    Heh I feel you on this one - it’s not a fun contest to “win” but I also find the “I have bad eyes” complaints funny when I have had 5 retinal detachment surgeries, leaving one eye …

    I think the parent you’re replying to knows that, they were asking if this was an example of that.

    Were your eyes open? Sorry to poke but your original comment paints America as a pendulum when it really isn’t. From someone who’s lived across the Southeast, it’s so weird to read…
