While we’re on the subject, I just moved my whole financial life over to hledger ( https://hledger.org/ ) and oh my goodness I’m so much happier (I dumped both QuickBooks and Quicken, which I’d been using previously). It won’t be for everyone, but if you know a bit about what you’re doing with double-entry accounting, it’s so so so much better. I only wish I’d discovered this was of doing things years ago (before dum…

You reminded me of the time one cool guy and a respectable troll ran a script to create tons of issues on github for TODO comments in the code. He quickly got banned and the issues removed, but I for one was thankful to him. I think I asked the staff to get them back for my repo, but no :)
This could be a Great GitHub Actions though. So user can enable/disable it per account/repo as they wish. I think it exists, I've had it enabled in some repo when figuring out new gh actions

Could you give an example?
See above the world cup match schedule [1], for another other examples with geo tree (e.g. country/province/city/district/etc.), see the Belgian Football clubs, for example [2] or for yet another example the Football leagues [3] with tiers (1,2,3, etc.) and cups and supercups, playoffs, etc. The .txt version are pretty compact with "tight" / strict error checking and JSON, YAML and friends I'd say it would be 2x, 3x…
Example: I assume, the scorer lists are actually lists-of-lists, where equivalent JSON could look like this:
[
{"player":"Gazinsky", "goals":[{"minute":12}]},
{"player":"Cheryshev",... which is absolutely more verbose.
However, if someone just went by the data, they could get parsing wrong: It looks like the outer list (of players) is delimited by spaces - however, there are also spaces inside the player names. A better approach could be to split the list by ' signs as each player has at least one time - however, players can have more than one time and could probably also have apostrophes inside their names (e.g. Irish players). So I guess, the best delimiter would be a letter after an apostrophe after a number. Except, we might also have parantheses, etc etc.

Just be careful about Microsoft's Patent US6748582B1; it doesn't expire for another few months. ;) From the patent (edited down a bit): > According to various example implementations of the invention, a task list facilitates code development by assisting developers in keeping track of and managing a variety of tasks, such as errors to be corrected, opportunities for optimization, and other user-defined tasks. As the…
How is it you are aware of this? Affiliation with MS or a project that ran into it? Wouldn't the key part: " and in response to completion of a task, modifying the task list during the interactive code development session to indicate that the task has been completed." mean it doesn't apply? Worst case, just put a US exclusionary clause in the release so US copyright law doesn't apply. At least Europe is ahead of the…
So no personal experience, but I definitely think it's pretty frivolous; I don't imagine its ever been tested in court. :)

Plain text is the cornerstone of my b brainstorming app at jumproot.com. there are other tools too but it all starts with plain text.

Give Rider a go. I'm a complete convert; previous attempts were very unpleasant, but its a complete experience now, very similar feel to VS + RS, without the awful latency.
I've seen it, but never taken the plunge. Thank you for the encouragement -- I'll definitely give it a go. That said, it's going to be extremely difficult to actually incorporate this in my 9-5 environment, so it will probably end up being for my home projects only.

i want to like StandardNotes but they basically force you to use the 5 year plan and it's much too expensive a cost to pay straight up (but i could and would use them if they slimmed it down to an annual charge, maybe even bi-annual, the current annual charge is overpriced tho). Bearapp is by far my favorite both by design, cost, stability and features, but I've left the Apple echosystem and their webapp isn't availa…
You can self host SN.

out of interest, why do you think it'd be hard? It's what I did, just swapped over at work. Nearly everyone else is still using visual studio. It mostly is a zero friction change and you can swap back and forward between environments at any stage
