Readme seems unreadable to me!

The former is in the prior art section at 2:24!

Thanks for taking the time to spell this out and sorry for making it necessary. As it happens, I thought the product looked cool, so a belated congratulations to the founders, and an apology to frabonacci! I'm glad there was a benign explanation for what I was seeing, and I'm a little disappointed in my lack of imagination. Dead internet may be coming, but it's not here yet ;-)

This is amazing, especially if it helps facilitate astroturfing, such as these comments made by fresh users, all with AI-generated responses from frabonacci:

What a bait-and-switch Google Chrome has been...

Another thing that came to mind: do-nothing scripting[0].

You have to allow sudo without entering a password to use this document (to build Emacs)? I wonder if gksudo could not be used instead…

Rubbing one's eyes is not entirely innocuous, as it can induce or worsen astigmatism.

Can you share an example?

+1 for language transfer, great execution of a great method.

Also, if you haven't seen it before, read this seminal procrastination post by Wait But Why[1].

Of course it's just a theory, but one that clicked for me and many others. It gives some helpful names to many of the things you experience when procrastinating. Afterwards you'll be able to recognize, "oh, I'm in the dark playground again" and possibly be able to do something about it.

Hey, I own the existence of my thesis (and resulting degree) to Beeminder[0]. I also made use of someone who was my supporter. Someone not involved in any capacity with the project, but who I could send status reports to. This is related to the concept of a body double (search for "body doubling adhd"). Reply if you want to know more or want a chat.

Thanks for sharing, looks really nice. Way less verbose and more intuitive syntax than PlantUML. Also seems to drop some vestigial UML aspects, like those default icons in the top right of PlantUML boxes (although I don't really grok UML). Title is somewhat ambiguous, since PlantUML is open source as well.

I have a standing Google alert for UML threads, because I've been looking for a long while for a good resource on what makes a good diagram. Not how to make it or what to make it with; like a Tufte for diagrams... Anyway D2 seems to make it easy to make clean diagrams.

Well put...

That's one hell of a mind fuck! I wouldn't know what to do with that keyboard (at first) and I've been typing with Dvorak for ages. If you're touch typing, you never look at the keyboard, so I just don't recognize this layout (visually). Still, great news.

If I had a tablet device or regularly used one, I'd be able to get used to the seeing the layout. Maybe then there'd be a improvement when thumb-typing on a phone-sized device, but I agree with the other commenter that it probably wouldn't be worth the hassle. Something to check out in a couple of years, when I end up with a device that runs iOS 16.

Nice work! Do you automatically convert the links on yanking?

How has being free from employment been working out so far?

What I'm forever looking for is a software-agnostic write-up of what makes a good and clear diagram/flowchart. Something like Tufte, but a little more specific. Most UML tutorials focus on the software (and those early pipe-dreams of generating code from diagrams). Anyone has any pointers?

git-annex has metadata driven views[0], which might be what you're looking for. When you're looking at a view, copying or moving a file to a folder "tagname", adds the tag "tagname" to that file. That seems easily scriptable to tag by media type/extension...

The obvious place for a dataset like this is Wikidata. There's already a lot of content in Wikipedia listicles (including Dutch/German Wikipedia's) that could be copied over.

I was one of the first to see this (and go write about it on Wikipedia), since this was prematurely sent to a prominent Google blogger (the Google Operating System blog?).

I remember how excited I was at the news; how naive...
