Does this also provide an api to paginate and provide text and images from the ebook?

I had a lot more fun with that than I expected great work! I found my finger maneuvers not crisp enough to do anything with real detail.

One idea I immediately had was to use a key on the keyboard (if not on mobile of course) as triggers for draw, hover, erase, etc. You could also control different colors that way, possibly even draw generated shapes like circles and rectangles (press 'c' to start a circle, then use your finger to drag out the size, stop with 'c' again).

and if you want to get really advanced, allow rotation of the drawn object and then choose a new plane to draw on.

This would also be useful for making signatures when needed on a website.

I applied for the Senior C# Developer role, unfortunately it didn't proceed as my C# experience is largely on the web side rather than the desktop side. I just want to say I felt valued throughout the process and that I felt Prakash really listened to me and spoke honestly. It was refreshing to have such an open and empathetic interaction with a company, so kudos to you folks for operating like this!

Why does ddg care much about desktop? Aren't they an online search portal?

I like the idea but it's producing a lot of ... unappealing combos like peanut butter and honey ... sandwich? on ... rye? With a random side of red pepper hummus?

I think what's missing is some graph of compatible ingredients per type of food. Things that generally require some companion (what am I eating that hummus with?) You could generate a pizza via compatibility scores. Same with curries, sandwiches, etc.

And of course hinting at the type of macros one might want. 60% of my diet as fat is probably not a good regular day.

But very compelling. I struggle with meal planning and the state of recipes and meals and the seo gamesmanship makes the whole thing very arduous.

Hey, my 5 year old daughter loves that!

This is a pretty cynical viewpoint but I agree. It’s clear that TSA doesn’t do much. Someone I know has acidentially brought a pocketknife through security multiple times without it being found. They keep it in my backpack as a regular item and just forgot to take it out.

I think the only thing these workers have in common are area code 650 phones. A consultant for SAP, a cloud architect at Oracle, a fraud analyst at Paypal and a Whole Foods shopper at Instacart have essentially zero overlap in their day to day activities.

But it did say this: "For SAP, Oracle and PayPal, the majority of the employment reductions will be in software jobs."
