I new product he helped release. So the former.

My former coworker left to work at Flock in their R&D department and every time I see Flock popup I check his LinkedIn to see if he's still there and hyup. I didn't take him for the type, but I mean as recently as a month ago he was praising them.
If the title is interesting I'll read the text and if I decide to reply there's a good chance I'll sigh and discard my comment and move on.
Although sometimes I won't notice a post with an image has text underneath.
I was wondering why it was extra cold today. Makes sense now, thanks!
My thoughts exactly. I thought maybe the ghost was along for the ride so.tbe human was "the vehicle & driver" but frame 1 makes it pretty clear that isn't the case.
One other possibility is the ghost is viewing the rating the human left but that's a stretch lol
Javascript
I generally like trying the brute force approach first (though in the latter days it just wastes time). After exhausting 32GB of RAM I changed approaches.
Admittedly I don't really understand these algorithms as well as I would like, and I also will admit I inadvertently was LLM assisted :(. When I was trying to figure out what algo I should use and the AI summary in Google's search spoiled me. But I did learn alot.
One interesting observation, unrelated to the solution itself, is the solutions runs about 30% faster in Firefox than it does via Node (25.2.1 and 24.11.1) on my machine.

I know if I were to setup the V2L feature on my car to power my home it would look like this (the manual way). But there would be a physical interlock that prevents mains power from being on while this is plugged in.
That file is for debugging. Seems like something is setting SSLKEYLOGFILE. You could try unsetting it (unset SSLKEYLOGFILE). Something is probably setting it in your shell, so you probably want to look at your specific shell configs for a more permanent solution.
Cookie consent dialogs can fuck off and die in general. Always using dark patterns to try and trick you into choosing the worst option.
When I was 15 or so I was hired from an ad on Craigslist for photo editing - just basic touching up, but like a thousand or so photos. The caveat was - softcore porn. I didn't mind, money is money. My very Christian family who found out however - they did mind. My sister ended up finishing the editing for me.
