Regarding the `timer` script, it appears to block the shell. A way to avoid this would be to spawn a subshell for the sleep command like this: `( sleep "$1" && notify ... ) &`

You can perhaps use `strftime` instead of `trim(system('date ..))`: inoremap date =strftime("%a %B %e, %Y %H:%M:%S %p") nnoremap date :put=strftime("%a %B %e, %Y %H:%M:%S %p") I am…

In defence of emacs: if I were using emacs, I'd be doing that not because of Neal Stephenson's essay, but rather because of the long-established legacy of the development, and beca…

Exactly. We can also win a tiny bit of the distance by assuming the Moon in the perigee, where the distance to the Moon is about 363000 km. I also assume that these distances are m…

Looks neat! Is there a way to make it work with pandoc?

Here's a guide I found useful to set up zotero storage. In brief, it relies on zotfile to flatten the storage (keep all pdfs in one directory) and better bibtex. I realized that it…

Great work, helped me to calm down a bit! There was a bit of jumpscare for me at the end though: when the circle jumps back to being a button again. May I suggest adding a slower d…

I'd assume adding noise is done once per song and is thus a bit computationally cheaper than trying to denoise each input.

There is quite an excitement about how someone has hacked the language model to output what was supposed to be a non-public set of rules apparently. How do people know if this is i…

Reminded me of the story about Feynman being challenged by an abacist to compute cubic root https://www.ecb.torontomu.ca/~elf/abacus/feynman.html

Define your \newcommands in commands.tex and tell pandoc to add it to the header: `pandoc -H commands.tex ...` There can be multiple header files like this.

I'd guess you have to first convert markdown to tex with --natbib flag, then compile the tex (assuming the input is input.md and you want input.tex at the output) `pandoc -f markdo…

Pandoc is a standalone application that converts between a huge variety of formats, including markdown to pdf, which means that you can write your plain text markdown in the editor…

That's interesting, thanks. Out of curiosity, is there a guide to learn more about the German style?

I think it deserves a separate mention: lichess has so much better clock UI. Their clock is big and very clearly visible both on desktop and mobile. It also goes red when you are l…

I appreciate the unicode support.
