    Maybe I'm being silly, but I felt a strange existential dread watching the video. I asked myself: who is being marketed toward? In my head, it's Apple lovers that want to larp as c…

    Modern CSS makes me long for Hi5 to make a comback. My profile would be killer.

    I'd end up with something like this if I ever had the time. Instead of a corporate wiki, though, I'd probably use something like sphinx to compile PDF files, and store them on the …

    Is this a recent addition? I recall attempting to do this some years ago, failing, and putting the tool out of my mind as a result. Maybe I was doing something wrong.

    > the plain text file is embedded Hold the phone -- some PNG files have plain text representations embedded within? That's nuts, I had no idea!

    I have a love/hate relationship with diagrams, and diagrams-as-code-things (plantuml, mermaid, etc). As a programmer, I find myself trying to turn everything in to a software proje…

    I hope this happens. I can only dream of the day when my country gets something like this.

    Yes, panic is a large part of the problem. I think I recall the feeling once, when my dad was teaching me to swim around 4 or 5. I think I tried to stand up, and just sunk, then I …

    The description makes me think this can reproduce a cool workflow demonstration I saw a few years ago on reddit[1]. [1]: https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/comments/k1eu0n/durden_wo…

    That's interesting. I've been using git every day for about 8 years, I've never found myself in a situation where I couldn't fix something I broke. But maybe that time will come.

    I think this is the first time I've seen someone say they outright hate git. Why?

    Also, there's snapdrop[1] that does almost the same thing, for free, without the need to install anything. It'd probably be wiser that snapdrop were a native application; then it's…

    I say this as a software developer using Emacs daily as my IDE: emacs is not an IDE -- at least not OOTB. It can become a competent IDE, but that isn't what it's built for. Instead…

    Any change you open sourced those parsers? I also switched from GnuCash to ledger-cli a long time ago, so I'm interested to see your solution.

    I really wish there was a way to annotate youtube videos easily. Kind of like hypothesis[1], but for video/streaming content. [1]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87h0nYi-i9o edit:…

    Just dropping this gem of a talk[1], for the uninitiated. There is a place for this, even if people in the thread have never seen it. [1]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyenmLqJQ…

    That's interesting. So, if I understand this thread at all, your projects may help me to "preserve" my "wealth", with ledger?

    Comment #37340143

    Anybody care to define "wealth management" as opposed to run-of-the-mill personal accounting? Why would I use this instead of ledger[1], for example? - [1]: https://ledger-cli.org/…

    It always amazes me that these large companies insist on reinventing the wheel.
