Awesome, and yes, totally makes sense -- you are more learner-centric that way. Having the full sentence context is actually one of the things I have been thinking about a lot -- this helps both the learner as well as the POS detection in S

Very cool! Are you willing to share more technical details? - Which data sources do you ingest? - How do you transform and enrich the data? How does your pipeline look? - What are your key challenges? - Which tools do you use? What is your

I think so, yes, 80% confident. Awesome, thank you!

There was another article/blog on hackernews some time ago along the lines of 'I'm an editor, here is how I edit my friends texts' with some really good advice. Unfortunately I can't find it anymore -- if someone kn

Interesting approach. I am currently looking for jobs and went the 'career coaching' route for my CV. I did a few iterations with my coach until I got my current result (ideally I had a link): I first looked at Canva templates, bu

Anyone knows what the few dark spots in the availability map in Germany are? https://www.starlink.com/map?source=rv My first guess would be military and/or science, but I don't think this holds true.

Imo the problem with Org-mode is that it "afterloads" all the complexity into the :PROPERTIES: drawers. Those quickly transform into unreadable hideous beasts of metadata that _require_ you to use Emacs. Every plugin developer lik

Interesting that this has a name. I've been doing this naturally for quite some time now without knowing the science behind it; it just feels "right" for me. Thinking about it, whenever I had a job where I ate lunch with cowo

I've been intensively using Orgmode for a year and a half (wrote my thesis in it) and then abandoned it to switch to Markdown. Orgmode quickly turns into not-quite-plaintext with humanly impossible to read and very distracting data str

I am a NixOS user, but am interested in Guix. Based on a cursory look I have some questions: - How big is Guix on GNU? Does it throw wrenches in your way if you do anything "unfree"? How easy is it to install the nvidia-drivers? -

I personally use literate programming to maintain my "dotfiles", mainly NixOS [1], and I _love_ it. I like to describe all possible alternative tools, why I don't use them, possible tools that look nice, random ideas and blog

Haha, I literally just set up Newsboat[1] and this is my second article I read from the comfort of my terminal :) So far Newsboat is great: Everything configurable with text, fast and effortless. The key-binds took a little bit, but now I c

Can you elaborate a bit more on why ZFS is great? I am currently thinking about doing "one final install" for my system, and am undecided between BTRFS and ZFS. I noticed that most "hip" people use ZFS, but based on my m

I think you can get going with little to no knowledge. Setup the system, choose a few cool options and packages, and go rebuild. Simple as that. The difficulty comes from the advanced topics. Modularizing your setup, writing your own packag

For lmt/markdown: I believe yes, to the extend the editor allows for it. It is seemingly just like regular mardkown code blocks. I get the correct syntax high-light in the ``` code blocks. I don't have lint/LSP setup yet (cur

That sounds like a nice way to do it, too. I heard about it before, but don't know R, so I didn't really consider it. The reason I chose lmt is that it correctly keeps the markdown language syntax of the code blocks. That means I

With Home-Manager (HM) you can "bake" your dot files into the config [1]. That means they are stored in your "generation" and then get symlinked to the right directory. Either you write the dotfile directly in your confi

I switched to NixOS half a year ago. The reason? I fell in love with literate programming (I use [1]); being able to write (and read) your whole OS configuration is the dream! There are few bad sides to NixOS though. The community consists
