Looks nice but "Sign in with Google" = No way.

Excellent idea, I was thinking of creating something similar. My new homepage, for sure.

Don't mock everything, by mocking everything, you are testing... nothing.

Hello, that's simple... do it before starting your job. Must read: "Miracle morning by Al Elrod". And use a habit tracker to be steady.

New comment by COil in "Apple iPhone SE Available on Apple Store Again"

Haha, funny, related to a tweet I posted some times ago : https://twitter.com/C0il/status/1040566413541470208 "Hi @Apple , I'd like a small smartphone (4 inch screen), what do you have?" SE is enough for me, I'll never pay more than 500$ for a Phone so if Apple doesn't have an option in this range of price I'll switch to something else. + I don't like big Phones.

I used Compiz with 17.04 and it was nice, but I decided to give a shot at the native Gnome with 18.04 when I reinstalled from scratch. To be honest, it's not perfect but it does the job. So I will stick with it. And I don't want to install something that is not maintained anymore.

Noticed that too. Even with a powerful computer. The tags also take times to be automatically by associated to email you've just sent.

I haven't renewed my subscription some months ago. I had a message mentioning that my playlists would be kept during one year and would be deleted after this period. Don't know if it applies to user information.

Yes, clearly composer was a huge step for PHP, there is a before and after composer.

After 22 years they still can't handle a mailbox correctly, so that's not very astonishing.

What if a top human player could train like AlphaGO Zero during billions of games and record everything?
