Just a quick shoutout to the Splinter Cell Enhanced patch[1], to restore, among other things, the shadows from the original console version.

And, as a bonus, the original Splinter Cell 75% off on Steam[2] and 50% off on GOG[3] (same price on both platforms).

I have quite a different take on that. As much as most people view documentation as a chore, there is value in it.

See it as code review, reflection, getting a birds eye view.

When I document my code, I often stop in between, and think: That implementation detail doesn't make sense/is over convoluted/can be simplified/seems to be lacking sanity check etc…

There is also the art of subtly injecting humor in it, with, e.g. code examples.

Absolutely agree, wait until the judge finds out about Bukowski's "The Fiend".

A good time to advertise for Sudo Mastery by Michael W. Lucas, highly recommend it if you want to dig in a bit deeper.

That is invalid syntax. Only phrasing content is allowed the p element (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Guides/Con...)

It would be trivial to allow all possible languages with toLocaleString[0]:

  d = new Date();
  console.log(d.toLocaleString(window.navigator.language, {
    weekday: 'short'
  }));

You got it. This is AI Slop at it's worst. And even the replies from the author reeks of AI. I read some of the source code, and it is slop, which I would never trust without scrutiny. Carefully read just the first words of benmxrt:

You're right that the current beta…

That is a great point

Absolutely agree with both of you

That is an intriguing feature request

That’s a very fair point

You hit the nail on the head

Great question

That is a valid point

The confusion likely stems from the relatively new introduction of the capitalized ẞ https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gro%C3%9Fes_%C3%9F

Maß capitalized (used to be) MASS.

Funnily enough, Mass means one liter beer (think Oktoberfest).

I'd use <table>. It literally is a table. And for mobile just do a media query to turn it into a flexbox.

  The RAID 5 and RAID 6 modes of Btrfs are fatally flawed, and should not be used for "anything but testing with throw-away data."

TIL that the term Baader-Meinhof phenomenon is based upon this nugget:

> The name "Baader–Meinhof phenomenon" was coined in 1994 by Terry Mullen in a letter to the St. Paul Pioneer Press.[1] The letter describes how, after mentioning the name of the German militant group Baader–Meinhof once, he kept noticing it.

Thanks!
