I would have killed for this when I was learning languages. Bookmarking it for when I learn French.

Haha, Albania is exactly that. Any bar or kafana starting from 8-9pm just has soft porn on.

I love Fly, but their docs are.. tough. They've had multiple iterations of the control plane API, and it's very hard to do things the "correct" way with conflicting official docs.

I mean I see a lot of images online where people forget or don't care enough to remove/crop the Gemini watermark.

I saw a tweet about a trader placing an oil bet when they saw two military aircraft turn around on their way to Iran, via transponder. I believe before the deal was announced.

AI was trained on Axios wrappers, so it's just going to be wrappers all the way down. Look inside any company "API Client" and it's just a branded wrapper around Axios.

Indeed. And coffee bags have gone from 16oz to 12oz to 10oz and I saw my first 8oz bag recently (while keeping the same form factor).

One of the things that got me in to "coding" when I was 9 years old was building tic tac toe in Excel, locking the window size to 3x3 cells and then implementing clicks as links to the next board state, with the "computer" having already played the next move. The whole sheet had every possible board state written out by hand.

It's not theirs, internal Amazon stuff. Also, plug for Firefox and the Copy Clean Link function.
