I don't think you can add them, respondents could select multiple editors. I am guessing 34% is the upper limit if no Neovim users use Vim and vice versa, which is hard to believe.

It is a real pity that the major browsers don’t support better keyboard navigation out of the box. Due to work restrictions, I can only really use firefox, chrome or edge and no addons/extensions. There’s a 14 year old ticket for firefox (still open), but the reaction back then was that it is a niche feature better suited for an addon.

In the EU the CRA would have mandated something like that -- not 25 years but a support period defined by the manufacturer that reflects the time the product is expected to be used. The auto industry managed to get themselves excluded.

I think it would already be a big advantage not needing a very expensive launch platform like a fighter jet, even if the unit price of the drone was a bit higher than that of the missile.

Recruiters and large firms tend to ask for a Word file. I sent the plaintext file (minimal markdown) I used to generate the pdf to a recruiter recently. They directly asked for a docx instead.

Where I live (in Germany) there are 8 or 9 supermarkets within half a mile distance, two of which organic and one a "center" (i.e. big). I find that the inventory is limited only in 1 or 2 of the smallest ones. In all the others I typically find everything I need.

You could also consider a “personalized” no+uuid@ address that only the user knows. Slightly more work, but the user would just add it to their address book anyway.

I think I remember using an inkjet printer for that. If I remember correctly, the sheets had a white margin on one of short edges.

I gave up on rule 18: The elements in your password must have atomic numbers that add up to 200.

Depends on what you do with the Client. If you have a complicated application and pass the Client around between different functions then maybe you would need to check every time whether the client is connected and authenticated before sending a message. If the function only accepts an authenticated client, then the type checker will complain. You could also notice the problem in a unit test, but it may be hard to represent all possible states.

In simpler situations where every time you just do the sequence you probably would want to combine some of these calls anyway.

I used to be an editor in a journal from one of the big publishers (not Elsevier). We searched for reviewers, invited them, reminded them when they were late in responding, evaluated their submissions, send the approvals, etc. And I didn’t get paid a dime. All the publisher had to do was maintain the platform. And sure that costs money too, but the costs are shared between multiple journals and papers.

Amazon cutbacks according to this: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2023/apr/04/amazon-to-clos...

They are not, at least not necessarily. It depends on what you want to do and whether the tool helps in any way to achieve this.

Back when I was doing my PhD, I had lots of PDFs and I had a workflow to mark interesting parts and export them to org-mode with backlinks to the PDF and the citation information. That was already enough for me, although I could imagine I could have used orgmode or another tool for improving the organizing, expanding and reusing of the information.

Nowadays, I mostly care about noting down decisions and action items, primarily in the context of meetings. None of these tools give me an advantage. OneNote on the other hand, despite its shortcomings, integrates with other tools we are using at work and allows sharing with colleagues, which at least is marginally better than a plain text file. Most of the stuff I note down are not relevant within a year, so I don't care about the format, the linking and so on, as long as I can find what I need.

I've tried some techniques or tools after reading HN posts like this one in the past, but I've now accepted that this is not for me. I've decided less note-taking is better and that the medium is not important.

Actually I think the post highlights that even the statistic you quoted means less than one thinks it means. For example, some of the books included may have been only a few weeks on the market. Some titles may be niche books with the expected lower sales volume calculated in the price. BookScan only covers a certain percentage of print sales in the US, the total sales could be more than double that.

Yeap, that’s the other thing, many (especially in the DIY scene) have so few keys that you are forced to use layers even for mundane, every day stuff.

Would love to get one (actually any split one), but they are crazy expensive. Add duties (I’m in the EU) and it goes beyond what I would be willing to spend for something that I can’t even try first. I don’t even need mechanical switches, wireless, backlight or programmability, but I will probably need two of them in the end.

DIY can lower the price, but it is a hustle and in the time needed is not free.

Maybe at some point Logitech will offer a split one for a more reasonable price, but I won’t hold my breath.

I use plantuml and draw.io depending on the diagram. Sequence diagrams for example are very easy to do in plantuml no matter the complexity. Where I need more flexibility I switch to draw.io that I prefer over Visio. I find making connections between objects is better made, the stencils are also not bad and I can export a png or svg that includes the source.

The first paragraph says that it is the privacy policy with respect to the website. Why do you think it covers the data collected by the agent?

Asciidoc already supports that. You don’t even need to differentiate in the syntax, it knows when you are referring to a table, a figure, a section, code listing, etc.

I was also looking for this, I guess here: https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Apt/Spec/AptSign

I doubt this will happen any time soon.

Similar for me. My first and last name are 12 characters each though (Greek), so the step of writing those down correctly is the problem.

In Germany you can also have them ship to a Packstation or directly to the post office - at least most of the time. This has worked well so far.

The only problem I had was that sometimes they drop them off at a neighbor even when I am at home. At least nowadays the name of the neighbor is printed on the notice they leave in the mailbox (and is also included in the email notification) so X instead of signature doesn't work - at least for DHL and my area.

Agree. My non-fiction, niche book generated some income for almost 10 years even though it was outdated after the first 5 or so. I am guessing that in fiction they can earn for a lot longer. There are also other effects to take into consideration: Even a moderate hit will generate interest for previous books; books in a series or in a trilogy will boost each other’s sales. Not that getting the moderate hit is easy in any way.

Isn’t this a bit unfair? The app is free (with IAP) and the screenshots are a dead giveaway what the app is about. If crabhouse was the most popular, would they force Clubhouse to change its name? Somehow I doubt it.

There is also projector and "code with me", but they still have some work to do before they reach feature parity in that regard. At least they are working on it.

One could ask whether python would have been an option for writing the parser. There is for example the asn1crypto library, which is pure python.

For discovery I still use LibraryThing. It is also possible to use it without an account, with some more work. The UX is not great though. Thalia has curated reviews from their librarians and a book graph with recommendations. The coverage is not superb, but if you happen to find 1-2 librarians with similar tastes, you can get some ideas.

I don’t care much about the price comparison, I mostly just buy from ebooks.de or thalia.de. Often they have a copy from a cheaper publisher (at least for English ebooks) and whether it costs 4.5 or 5 euros doesn’t make much of a difference. I am just glad I am not giving the money to Amazon. The last time I bought an ebook from Amazon is more than 10 years ago.

Not just LaTeX, groff gets no love even though it can deliver nice output. The syntax is even more arcane, but on the other hand it doesn’t need GBs to install.

Asciidoctor is a good modern proposition that can handle more than markdown can, but it’s not without shortcomings. Unfortunately markdown, asciidoc, rst and friends have been focusing too much on publishing to the web. Conversion to PDF is mostly over html (in some cases by firing chromium in the background) and the results are not as great.

It is difficult to compete with Word for non-technical people, if the alternative is to install and learn multiple tools, configure a dev environment and setup build toolchains.

I have been giving Netflix a try for a couple of months now and I am really thinking of dropping it because of this. I think I’d rather rent something from one of the on demand services and watch what I want, than being forced to watch whatever Netflix happens to have on offer this week. Especially because I generally prefer to watch a movie over a TV series.

There were ongoing internal conflicts going back to the 50s and 60s with atrocities from both sides. I don’t know if you’d call it war, but it did eventually lead to the invasion.
