Do you also have something like <link rel=alternate href=/atom.xml type=application/atom+xml> in your <head> element? Things like this let me just throw homepages (or blog pages) at feed readers and they can discover a

To be fair, there’s a programming language out there already with a cuddly-lobster mascot. A decidedly un-cuddly lobster just maximizes product differentiation.

To be fair to GvR, autoformatters weren’t commonplace in the late 80s and early 90s. Were there even any? Ever since Go got big, though, everyone else is discovering how fantastically nice they are, and that’s a good thing.

I have one-click login with 2FA codes stored in 1Password. And 1Password will still let me export my crazy-long password and TOTP code to a plain text file if I want to switch to a different password manager (of course, I’ll have to do some

I’ve helped friends with their writing. If _I_ got this bit of feedback I wouldn’t know what to make of it.

I was under the impression that the National Guard could only be deployed like this if a local politician asked for it. Nobody asked for it for the protests in 2020, so none got deployed. Am I wrong, or did a Los Angeles politician ask for

I use Obsidian as a distant secondary notetaking app. I use one vault per video game. I don’t need to clutter up a vault just so I can link from a page on Art combos in Xenoblade games to a page detailing all the random things I need to pic

The other option is people who never got into LaTeX get into Typst (usually by being too young to have gotten into LaTeX in college), and Typst takes over slowly that way.

If you’d rather not buy another gizmo for a function your phone has likely gobbled up already… iOS, iPadOS, and macOS have a pretty great built-in background-noise generator these days. While lots of actual beaches can go dead silent and th

One thing that I’ve noticed: On UNIX, expanding globs (*.txt) is the shell’s job. On Windows, expanding globs is the program’s job. I used to have a bunch of four-line Python programs to, essentially, run `flac --best --replay-gain *.wav`.

This phrase only made sense when it was explained to me that it’d be better phrased as “the exception that proves the existence of the rule”. (if there were no rule, there wouldn’t be any exceptions to it, or nothing would seem exceptional

I second this, especially the part about adding headings. Also, the line length (in characters) is crazy long. You ought to constrain the width of your text by putting it in columns or blocks, because you're trying to sell me something

No. You still need to create a login. Everyone else at work likes it, so I signed up with my work e-mail address and use it for work. All of my complicated browsing needs are done for work, so there's a good fit there.

Obsidian vaults are just folders full of a bunch of Markdown files with a dotfolder that has some JSON configuration files in it. You can probably put images in them, too (I haven't needed to bother yet). I'm not sure how you can
