I have a physical tulip to sell you

> You don't raise this much money this fast without having some success to show the investors. I’m pretty sure the dotcom bubble had many counterexamples

I can imagine that it works great, but at the same time I have also used plain Rust to generate HTML. It’s not that hard to generate valid HTML. Parsing however is a different thin…

> competition in digital payments What competition? Here in the Netherlands, iDeal (which is already renamed to Wero) has almost no competition. Perhaps PayPal a few percent

> I'm glad to see a focus on pushing statistics to do a better job of reflecting that “You have lies, damned lies, and then you have statistics”

Another paper for the “Obviously” category. Otherwise the leafs at the top would be brown. But I did a PhD myself and our papers were exactly the same. Noone wants to rock the boat…

> unfalsifiable distrust Well, I think it’s pretty clear for starters that politicians lie (and yes this holds for both left and right; although indeed some presidents more than ot…

In other news, water is wet

Just to be sure to point out the obvious here, I think the main police effort should be on catching the sources of such material. There is the root problem. In a world were we’re r…

> The data isn't guns though. Guns aren't a dual use technology that have a nonviolent purpose. Counterexample, guns could be a (non-violent) hobby. I’m not pro guns or violence bu…

Is there use for this for individuals? Or is this like advanced note taking apps: you feel productive but are just busy talking about the things you need to do instead of doing the…

In theory you are right, but in practice that’s not how it goes.

I recently switched back from a Tesla to an older car without permanently having a map visible. Suddenly my brain has to think about routes again and it definitively feels like my …

It also makes no sense to go reverse. Maybe practically, but from the Word generated garbage your not gonna get something useful

I finished my PhD and still hate (or at least severely dislike scientific writing). It just feels so pointless most of the time plus you constantly have to compromise on most of th…

Seems it’s currently a percentage: https://forum.typst.app/t/how-to-leave-a-single-line-of-para... On Pandoc I agree. Word custom styles is possible I believe but it will be a mess…

Uhm why not Typst? I published my thesis and another book in it and it worked great. They are also working on HTML output which should make it easier to create EPUBs. Until then Pa…

Interesting. Thanks. The seeming contradiction can be resolved by the statement “no honesty among thieves”. I don’t know exactly about the sect, but I do know that the Templars wer…

Agreed. Crusades have also close ties with gnosticism since the Templars themselves were gnostics.

The Catholic church has also burned Christians in various era’s including in the 15th century.

You didn’t even mention the Knights of Malta yet. They claim to care for the poor, but Prince Bernhard also within a year of signing up ordered naked girls for an evening which cau…

Could be yes. I’m using a M.2 SSD with USB adapter and that seems to work well with my RPi 4. Wasn’t that expensive plus should last way longer than SD card.

Probably the mirror? I have zero problems like that on my Forgejo Pi setup. I am not mirroring
