    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 ad…

    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…

    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 m…

    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 d…

    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 i…

    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 w…

    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, evaluat…

    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 an…

    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 …

    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 ca…

    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 …

    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 som…

    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 l…

    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 …

    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. https://youtrack.j…
