celie56on Presentation Slides with Markdown

The tool looks nice. I've used revealjs for this use case before so I was happy to see your comparison documentation: https://sli.dev/guide/why#comparisons

celie56on Visualizing Weather Forecasts Through Landscape Imagery

Maybe I misread the docs, but it looked like it was generating a visual for the whole day. If this were offline you could have it double as a clock and regenerate the image every N minutes.

celie56on What's New in Neovim 0.10

I love watching others use Neovim and that's how I learned more about the LSP / treesitter integration. I still find that VS Code is my recommendation for new contributors to an existing codebase because of how intuitive it is to resolve problems solo. If I want to debug a change in an existing project I will almost always reach for VS Code due to the integration with build systems (CMake for example) or other tools. That said, I find that I do "real work" in neovim: thinking, exploring, or writing this reply.

If I were to teach someone from the beginning I would still recommend (neo)vim.

celie56on 3rd Edition of Programming: Principles and Practice Using C++ by Stroustrup

Your recommended json solution was also my first thought but if you do not have the ability to easily introduce a new dependency then the op is correct.

If I have an existing JSON file that I want to quickly parse for a demo project there is almost zero chance I would pick C++. In comparison, Python is already installed in many environments and has built-in json parsing.

celie56on Show HN: A VNC viewer for eInk devices capable of 30 FPS when writing text

Do you mind sharing your fork with the font change? I tried to get a font that supports other characters but the mkfont_bdf tool didn't like the files I fed it.

I personally use a Remarkable 1 with yaft (1) as a terminal. I connect via ssh to a tmux session for editing and the response is fast enough.

celie56on How I learned French in 12 months (2020)

The best I've found for learning to write Chinese characters has been Skritter (https://skritter.com/) If you are following a textbook, you can probably find pre-made decks of characters for that textbook.

If you use nvim, there is a similar tool called venn.nvim: https://github.com/jbyuki/venn.nvim
