Wasn't satisfied with zotero and mendeley for pdf reference management. Wanted something terminal based and simple, so I wrote a shell script that I eventually rewrote in python. Given a pdf, it reads it, tries to find the article doi

This is ultimately due to the general problem of neovim internals being in so much flux. So much keeps changing, updating, and breaking in the internals and plugins. It does take some upkeep at every level, and after a point I think people

I had written a script to manage my pdf literature using crossref and arxiv to fetch metadata and store them in pdf tags, and just renaming the pdf in place. No hidden complexity, no gui. I hacked it into a python package a couple of month

Nix has potential to be a universal installer, although it's still a bit cumbersome when working with languages like python. Another pain point is the need for superuser privilege to write to /nix

Slight detour, but I believe it's the same issue with politicians around the world.

You can also customize Zathura using ~/.config/zathura/zathurarc with the following (for instance): ``` set default-bg "#2E3440" ## Start in dark mode by default set recolor true ## Nord colors for dark more set rec

My biggest gripe with nix is that you need sudo rights to get it running properly on another distro. I know you can do the nix-user-chroot thing, but it's not possible on machines where kernel namespaces aren't accessible for unpr

This is the second comment in the entire thread. And the poster is just one person. What makes you generalize something to an entire community, seemingly without any basis?

It's about creating a habit, like many people mentioned here. For me, the git commandline process was a bit too much hassle and typing to do if I wanted to do it atomically. In the end, I wound up using lazygit[0] and the nvim plugin[1

Wow. I had used coolors and sadly failed to bookmark it the first time around. I looked for it again last week but couldn't find it. Thank you for this!

I use lazygit[0] to essentially do the same thing. (or even vim-fugitive[1]) Previously I avoided creating messy commits simply because it was "tedious" to reorganize commits. And making overly atomic commits and typing out git co

If you want the lazy way (the way I have it): setxkbmap -option altwin:swap_lalt_lwin,caps:ctrl_modifier xcape -e 'Caps_Lock=Escape;Alt_R=Control_L|space' I know that there are better ways to do this. But I never get

Arch, i3wm. Love having a personalized keyboard-first setup that I can say I've built over time. A tip for those who may just be starting out: switch your LEFT-ALT and WIN keys. Also make caps lock act like ESC on tap and CTRL on long

Regarding your first point, why not just run scripts with `bash script.sh` or even better, use shebangs and `./script.sh`? The standard shell experience is decades old, and makes it cumbersome to keep up with the pace of today. The app

Thanks for the recommendation. What is also fascinating is the marketing and advertisement influence in all this. In villages here a couple of generations ago, they would dry coconuts and make the oils at home. No industrial refinement, hea

Just a quick thank you to the author. I've been putting off looking for an audiobook reader for linux to improve my german. HN makes life easier ;)

This is great! I did something similar for myself that also renames the input pdf file based on metadata from CrossRef. Hopefully I can get around to contributing code to this project.

Great work! I'm looking forward to using it full time. A couple of quick comments. 1. It doesn't seem to work with when $TERM is set to some non-default setting. (panic: terminal entry not found) 2. When term is forced to xterm-25
