Cool to see this, it's a cool in-between step for not having additional wraparound screens or a VR headset. I used to run a similar software[1] for when I was really into playing F1 racing games. However one of the problems I found was

I'm really not sure how you can argue that "AI is great at explaining code snippets" while also acknowledging that it will just give you flat out wrong answers some times. Either it's good at explaining and is right, or

I sincerly hope that they remove this feature and apologise for its integration in the first place. I don't think a reference website should include any sort of feature that can hallucinate incorrect documentation for you on demand. It

I don't mean to be rude but your response really sounds like it could be turned into a dril Tweet. "advertising may be immoral, but it also helps pays for the content you watch, so, it;s impossible to say if its bad or not,"

This is something that's really similar to what I want. Ideally I would like a standalone device to display TOTP codes, but the only devices I've found only have a support for a single code. I guess a feature phone with a custom a

League of Legends originally. It's a popular copypasta that gets used in esports discussions whenever an EU team beats an NA team harshly. "NA" as term in esports just refers to teams primarily based in the US or Canada.

I think your point (1) doesn't really match with what the rails devs expect. 37Signals have both their Basecamp and Hey.com products which act very much like a single page app but only using Turbo and Stimulus. I think the rails devs b

This may be a poor analogy: Imagine, during a war, a missile that has been set to target a city. The casualties will be many, and random, and innocent, but this is wartime and horrible things happen. Now, imagine that this missile is set to
