    Looking through the setup, this seems like an insane way to package an application for users to install: https://docs.paperless-ngx.com/setup The documentation itself is so full of…

    I don't think anyone is suggesting that the same tricks will work for everyone. I've never been chronically obese so I wouldn't know what goes on in someone's mind at that point. H…

    I wasn't particularly overweight before but I attribute about ~10lbs of weight loss this year to realizing that: - When at a dinner with family or friends, I never _have_ to finish…

    Most of what you described as needing documentation could be expressed as code (mixing multiple languages here to express the point more clearly) const fn get_outer_height() -> Res…

    One thing I noticed is that pressing `edit` does not let me edit anymore. It just opens my post on the left pane (and still isn't in edit mode) so my only option to add this feedba…

    I guess my question is: If you want `auto`, why put it in C instead of using C++ with no other C++ specific feature besides auto? I get people don't like classes / templates / .. b…

    I don't write C / C++ so I'm not too aware of what's going on there, but wouldn't someone that wants those features just switch to C++? Is there any reason to change C at this poin…
