    I'm not sure I'd call it furniture, but are you maybe referring to the luggage?

    I appreciate your insight, even if the workflow seems alien to me. I admit I like the idea of freeing myself from a desk though. If you don't mind me asking, how much does this all…

    Dapper is fantastic, and I'm happy to see it getting some love. It does exactly what I want: provides strongly-typed mapping and protects against SQL injection. It makes it easy to…

    Ah, I was wondering about that. Flagging didn't seem like quite the right thing to do, but at the same time I don't see a reason to leave bots hanging around. Thanks Gary, I'll use…

    If the checkbox you're referring to is the "Use AI to suggest tabs and a name for tab groups" one, then I can't see what setting it changes. It's not the browser.ml.enable flag. I …

    Just in case you never came across it, I think the second game is much better than the first one. Enjoy the nostalgia trip!

    I just came here to say the same thing. The raise and lower tools in particular reminded me of it. For anyone who hasn't heard of it before: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Populous_…

    It reminds me of a quote from Designing Data-Intensive Applications by Martin Kleppmann. It goes something like, "For distributed systems, we're trying to create a reliable system …

    Seconded. I went with C# + Playwright. I tried iTextSharp, iText, PDFSharp, and wkhtmltopdf, but they all had limitations. I had good results with Playwright in minutes, outside of…

    I think this is only half of it. Years ago, I worked at a company where my time was split between working on a bespoke platform for an older client and a generic platform that woul…

    Thank you for creating and open sourcing this. I have a question if I may. If a person has the goal of getting into a field like computer vision or machine learning, would they be …

    Sorry for the late reply. Thank you for the consideration and for your research too. I am actually largely fine with development as a whole. I've created many workarounds that make…

    If you think there is a better way, explore it and find out. I mean that sincerely. What is obvious to you isn't necessarily obvious to anyone else. You never know what may come of…

    I've had one idea in mind for a few years now. It's outside of my normal skill set so it's risky to pursue at the moment. But maybe I should start putting a little time into it eve…
