What a great idea. I believe in this a trillion percent, due to the personal experience of watching myself and a stronger developer tackle similar problems at the same time. I reli…

All credit to Conor White-Sullivan for making links cool again. > unordinary direction Hahaha, this is a very polite way to put that=) But I do appreciate it.

> I imagine the problem with that is that Obsidian by default stops dealing with Wikilinks inside fenced code Exactly. Interestingly enough autocomplete is still triggered by [[ in…

I had't seen it! The "clones" feature is cool, it sounds like they're way ahead in figuring out how to use transclusions effectively when coding. Previously I'd thought of using tr…

That's it. And the linearizer is only one way-- you write text with [[links]] and turn that into plaintext.

I wish you could just use Obsidian Publish to host sites, but due to the indentation issue you have to control the rendering, which is a bummer. Obsidian Digital Garden[1] is FOSS,…

Of course! I should have just guessed they'd already have something like this. We either need to port ALL of Glamorous Toolkit to mainstream langs or we need to convince all our em…

> I hope the author continues down this path and writes more about the experience. I appreciate it=) I definitely want to write some more stuff up, in particular how code organizat…

Hazel and Unison are two of the big ones. I'm friends with some of the Unison folks so I'm biased, but I really like how few features there are in the language. In general I'm just…

> As a language-agnostic thing, I suppose you need to prevent the machinery from pulling in keywords and variable names accidentally (or the insides of strings or comments). Exactl…

> this is great! i’ve been thinking about exactly this (though styled after Logseq rather than Obsidian) but not gotten as far as implementing anything. Thank you! I think [[links]…

I love Smalltalk, and have done a reasonable amount of messing around with Cuis (which is awesome and everyone should try it). However this gives you two things that Smalltalk does…

That video is wonderful. And thanks for all the other information as well, it's very helpful.

Thank you for the information! > Circuit switched analog POTS has been dead for a long time, but delays were limited to amplifier delays (almost nothing) and speed of light in wire…

I've heard old school POTS calls were lower latency, but haven't been able to find reliable numbers on this.

The odd thing is unison started purely as a language. Now there's a platform. I often find the best way to understand complex things is to dig all the way back to when they were be…

> Open contributions project. That's a useful distinction and a good term. So in total projects can be classified as: - Source available or not - Open source or not (a subset of so…

I watched it, thought "this feels very last generation", and then saw it came out 13 years ago! Sidestepping the meaning of the word "theft", our situation is as follows. There are…

Did not expect docs to be this exciting... On July 3, 1940, as part of Operation Catapult, Royal Air Force pilots bombed the ships of the French Navy stationed off Mers-el-Kébir to…

Definitely. I'm not actually looking for reassurance myself (I've already switched). I was more asking about the tactics of the situation since it seems really different than the m…

I generally agree with your comment, but isn't there an exception for companies that do well enough early enough to let the founders keep control with supervoting stock? Then the f…

Do you have thoughts on the Heroku->Render dynamic? Is there a name for it? I've seen it enough now to recognize a solid pattern for a successful business: 1. Company starts to do …
