Bullet journals are the opposite of a fad that fetishizes perfect notebooks. Proper bullet journals are very pragmatic. Some people then add layers of fetishizing to that, because …

I resemble that remark!

“…the person you don’t care about…” Your comment is below the intellectual and interpersonal standard that makes HN a good place to be. I don’t doubt your sincerity and I can abide…

I sometimes want to create PDFs that contain text (Python code) that is not selectable. I want my students to type it in, not copy and paste. I don’t know whether this tool enables…

That’s a serious misreading of the NeoVim ecosystem, and I’d bet good money against your predictions coming true.

I wrote a TUI to search for words/phrases in a crossword dictionary. I’ve never written a reactive TUI before, and never written Go either. I was very happy with the assistance ren…

I think seeing superiority or obnoxiousness in the comment you replied to was a pretty large reading error on your part. The tone was sympathetic to people whose inboxes receive mo…

Same here on all counts. Garages in duplexes typically are not big enough to fit an average car comfortably.

That’s a huge exaggeration. Tall buildings require a much greater footprint than a single detached home. Knock down three adjacent homes and you can get maybe 6-8 levels, which wou…

If I had the “lots of money” required, I’d try out a zero-day work week instead!

If you made income, and enough gain in stocks to pay that much in tax, you should be happy. I want to know why you are keen to become an Australian citizen if you’re not enthusiast…

The car wash example is interesting, as something I’ve seen and experienced but never thought about in that way. I wonder how it truly factors into productivity, though. How is pro…

I think you need to make a case for DEI being “one of the industry’s greatest strengths”. It’s not obvious to me.

Our doctor told us not to give the baby/toddler a bath every day. Didn’t need to tell me twice. (Every second day is fine, and better for their skin.)

People have developed plugins for this. Check out “sesh” for instance. Switching between sessions with fuzzy finding, and creating new ones when needed, is a wonderful feature.

Depending, of course, on how many artworks he’s sold.

There’s more than one issue. It’s not wrong to try to solve one of them.

Yes, Music for 18 Musicians is such a wonderful companion for sustained focus. I look forward to checking out Electric Counterpoint more closely.

Take a look at the site guidelines.

I don’t love vi-mode, but I’ll address your comment. Many people these days, including yours truly, have caps-lock mapped to ctrl if held or esc if tapped. That’s good ergonomics a…

And the friction of storing stuff. I want to listen to music, not manage a collection.

I believe Uiua is an excellent one to look at first. It’s simpler than the others you mentioned without sacrificing any power (that I know of). You can type in meaningful words whi…

Check out folke/flash.nvim for a motion jump plugin. It’s brilliant.

That’s good, and I also have spoken to people in public about their noise several times, but… That dude shouldn’t be turning it down; he should be turning it off. My go-to line is:…

This is a very valuable resource for me. Thanks for posting!
