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 cost per month? Edit: I see you've answered this

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 create domain-specific repositories without leaking an

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 that next time.

This is a bot. It's even copied the typo from the top comment.

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 tried unchecking it, restarting the

In your address bar type: about:config You can search for the configuration options mentioned in the article (e.g. browser.ml.enable) in there.

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

You nailed it. Well done!

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_(video_game)

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 out of a set of unreliable components." In a

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 tweaking the CSS like you mention. I documented the process

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 would be used for all clients going forward. The bespoke platfor

Much appreciated! I'll give this a go and see how far I get.

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 able to build useful things right away if they completed thi

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 working about as comfortable as it can be. My current

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 it.

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 even if it's just to help recharge my batte

It's not obvious what a better method would be.

Thank you for the thoughtful comment. It's funny you mention this, because I've wondered about something similar. But I'm not sold on computers being controlled primarily through voice while CEOs demand a return to the office

Same wishes back to you too. I'm glad you found something.

This could've been written by me. I hope you're doing well.

This is my experience too. It didn't used to be this way. I always used to research a company, tailor my CV and add a cover letter. I'd be hired within 1-3 applications. Now? It seems a waste of time because no one responds anyway

I try to avoid using them. If I can, I prefer to configure my environment to not need them, but that does take a fair amount of work. I get by because of my technical knowledge. I don't know how other people cope.
