In the off chance of an uprising, you now *have* to thank your AI.

Forgot I bought this, picked it up and was mesmerized. Far: Lone Sails is slow paced and has heaps of ambience. It’s a great change of pace from what I usually play when I have the time. I really like it and a couple of hours in I’m also quite appreciative of how “easy” it is.

"Coupling" is a term we all throw around every day. We all agree it's not all black and white, and sometimes high coupling is a good thing.
Coined in 1992, "connascence" is a finer way of exploring how, and how strongly, things are coupled.

You Didn't Notice MP3 Is Now Free
The MP3 format, once the gold standard for digital audio files, is now free. The licensing and patents on MP3 encoders have expired, meaning you can now include them in your applications without payin

קניתי את זה בשביל בן10 ב-Target, ונכון לעכשיו אנחנו בשעה החמישית ברצף של בניה. הקיט הזה מדהים! מלמד על בוכנות ומנגנונים פניאומטים והידראולים שהילדים אשכרה בונים מאפס ובן10 בטירוף. מומלץ בחום.

I need to tap someone for expertise and am happy to pay for it. Specifically I'm looking for working experience integrating a C++ and Python (cmake+pybind11) with a proper local setup (Python project depending on bindings built from local repo). LLVM experience a bonus. Takers?
