It was.

I didn't say generate :) - in all seriousness, I think you could reasonably have it copy the code for e.g. lodash.merge() and paste it into your codebase without the headaches you're describing. IMO, this method would be practical for a majority of npm deps in prod code. There are some I'd want to rely on the lib (and its maintenance over time), but also... a sort function is a sort function.

Sounds like the job for an LLM tool to extract what's actually used from appropriately-licensed OSS modules and paste directly into codebases.

I built https://www.stoodious.app for my wife while she was studying for her California Real Estate Broker's Exam. She was frustrated with the price gouging on text books, or being the "state-of-the-art" study platforms being video only, having no/poor mobile UX or just feeling outright dated.
So I built Stoodious as a study guide platform that intends to give you the material and get out of your way, as opposed to the engagement-driving gamification of others. One of the killer features is being able to drill practice questions related to the specific study section you're working on - e.g. 20-30 questions about water rights, encumbrances or calculating GRM. Frequently my wife found herself studying vocab for a section but having to skim through a 100-question practice test to find related questions.
I extended the material to all 50 states' basic real estate licensing exam and am looking to add even more "professional exam" material.

This is an amazing spreadsheet - thank you for sharing!

To echo further, they may be leaning on something like the [ja4 fingerprint](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=8997844...) (which you'd need to rebuild curl to emulate that chromium version to try and trick).

I have the same phenomena - loud sharp noise is like a flashbulb goes off. Reading another commenter mention EHS and looking it up, I don’t think that’s it either. Have had multiple RD surgeries myself. Hope your vision is otherwise stable!

Plus one-ing this - I think the external monitor may be the kicker to keeping the mic active. This drives me up the wall when Google Meet decides to just default to the closed Macbook next to me instead of my already connected Air Pods when joining work meetings.

Again those are typically for limited runs - for unlimited runs they're surprisingly inexpensive.

Typically these prices are for unlimited print runs as opposed to a run of a 100 or less (which command more money obviously, due to supply). I have a Haring print in my home that was about the same price (I think around $250 in total for print and frame) that's signed by the artist.

Say it out loud - it's a play on words. "You rip a dese trousers, you mend a dese trousers"

What _are_ the best wired cam/local storage solutions today?

One of my favorite cities - went there on my honeymoon in 2019. The river-turned-park is beautiful and the whole old town area of the city is just full of "play". Check out this sweet playground that's actually a giant Gulliver laying down (https://www.lovevalencia.com/en/the-gulliver-park.html).
If anybody can swing a visit to Valencia - do it. I can't wait to go back some day.

Yeah this is one of those perspective things. I’m on a once-a-month regimen of eyeball injections to stave off macular degeneration. I’d trade it in a heartbeat for allergy-reducing injection. But even my case feels “routine” now.
