Do you not need to use the debugger sometimes? Or can cc debug by itself

Nothing happened to Israel for doing it. Have any level headed countries imposed any sanctions on them? Just condemning the leadership doesn’t count.

What would you expect Europe to do? It’s not like they openly support this war. The Iranian diaspora supports it, there is the secularism element, but the US doesn’t care about the Iranian people anyway

Why are then so many US developers still employed? Some of them might be the best in the world, but they are a minority.

Do people really build SPAs that are just websites and not ‘apps’?

Is piracy a concern? Or are there good enough libraries to implement a client side license key mechanism?

This is not always good for the end user. Now I have to go to google maps manually because it’s most of the time no longer integrated with google search

Not sure about nowadays, but a few years ago yes. You could run a foreground(?) service which kept an icon in the righthand corner (can’t remember too well). Anyway, I had an app which kept a http server always running.

I don’t know much about how these models work, but does this mean that a lot of ‘smartness’ that they show in how they articulate the answers are just them ‘parroting’ the contractors who ‘role played ai’?

I treat most shortened links as the maker has some interest with it, wants to track something, earn something, which I find dishonest. Assuming this is an amazon url, the product page is not even a long url.

When I was a kid in the 90s my dad had raised money to buy a good car. When the time came, he bought a not so good car + a computer for me. I still remember installing windows 3.1 from 40 floppy disks

What’s happening with the Whatsapp osx app. It’s so bad to use nowadays, slow, buggy.

What engine do you have? A lot that I see for sale have 165bhp engines, which doesn’t sound under powered. Compare that with a lot of newer cars which have 1L 100bhp engines
