it only worked for me after shutting down my vpn (FF Android)
The answer isn't something we should accept as an opinion, though. For example, laws prohibit the federal government from (direct) involvement in elections.
Republicans love this, legally speaking we can do nothing.

I think they're saying to give the benefit of the doubt (ex. maybe it's a glitch), without realizing many of us have no more leeway to give due to the continuing onslaught of criminal behavior from musk/Trump which we'll all have to pay for in the future and is now giving our enemies reason to celebrate.

That's a strange way to spell "criminal".

After ignoring the download links I ejected the floppy, drank some coffee, and read from the notebook. What did you try?

The characters in OP's arrow function have the benefit of being available on a standard keyboard layout. This has proven to be an important syntactic feature, imo.

A more accurate title, as well.

I can confirm for power toys on Windows, I find it essential for making use of multiple 4k screens.
I believe the goal is to sell this as a DIY PI 5 project...

Repeal the Controlled Substances Act Reform policing in America Treat drug addiction as a medical problem Make healthcare, of every type a protected right Create a separation between business and state Make political contributions illegal Create and offer resources that support early childhood development Establish and empower a third party mediator to stop and prevent bullying and other abuse in school Create well funded safety nets people can use if they fall to a risk or on hard times Make Social Security type retirement income a guaranteed right Implement a finely-incremented progressive tax system to pay for it

I've used draw.io, mermaid using polyglot in vs-code, obsidian canvas diagrams, and gherkin with a cucumber plug-in for visual studio (req n roll ?).... non-technicals still don't get it, but at least they know they didn't get it ...
I believe an inverter (not gate) is required...
And it worked, Reload has a very different sound.
We should expect it.

You gotta need it ...

Imo it would need to show varying levels of information density depending on scale. Otherwise, as another commenter stated it's overwhelming....
I once wrote a system for distributed data processing (8-10 years ago). There was a base class that when inherited from would, via Interception reroute a call to any virtual method to a server with the same interface loaded (plug-in architecture). The server would then delegate the method to one of its worker clients, which had the (same) required plugin(s) loaded. It worked over TCP on a local intranet. Once the admin-server-worker plugin system was figured out, projecting a virtual method was fairly transparent. There's always going to be some boiler-plate!

I'm my experience: You have to fill out a form with the pharma mfg, and they give you a coupon to take to the pharmacy. What was $600 is now $30. It doesn't actually make any sense.

Re:Evolving the Infinite Canvas on Wednesday December 27, 2023 @10:12PM (#38789578)
The last one reminds me of the Wii lobby. You could have all of your Mii's (avatars) in the lobby and click on "Line em up" to get them into some order, then arrange them manually (by the hair).

I wonder if something like this could be useful if paired with a Tree-like panel for navigation and some selection aware auto-arrange functionality.
