I'm surprised to see the properties I'm most interested in neither in these tests nor in plutoprints supported css. I'm talking about `text-wrap: pretty` (potentially avoid rivers and orpahns, depending on implementation), `o

I love that Jabref supports working with multiple libraries (having multiple open the same time, moving entries between). Best Zotero could do was restart with difference preference files (has that changed? haven't used it in some time

One would think. I have yet to find a spreadsheet program that doesn't mimic Excels behavior for automatic conversion up to the point of making it non-optional.

Are the gitjournal files compatible with Github/Gitlab wiki repos? I have always used the builtin wiki from Github/Gitlab to achieve similar note taking. But attachments and links (to and between folders) are a pain to get right ;

It's fun once or twice a week. If it happens almost daily (maybe even multiple times a day) it get's much less enjoyable and way harder to meaningful fill with work.

Really interested in such lists. Though this one needs improvement. Just clicked through a bunch that were dated last week - the linked page was dated over a year ago and expired.

I'm on desktop and my machine is struggling to install(?!?) some IDE. So far i'm not sure what I'm (supposed to be) seeing, there doesn't appear to be any explanatory text.

By now I've become so accustomed to just copy the bold text from the line above it and paste, that it doesn't break me out anymore. I know I should concentrate and type it out, but in my head it has just become visual noise and a

I’m all for TUIs but for me anything that calls itself terminal oriented needs to work at 80ish character line length. It seems that many of the entries (especially the dashboards) need much longer lines to be useful - then sorry this shoul

I love the lectures, though it would be great to have some practice to go along with them. Are there any open resources or does one need the books?

That would make it possible to create a program that would check all the passwords in the keychain without sending data over the web. False positives wouldn't be an issue as the user can decide himself if he wants to update. Currentl

I appreciate your guidance. I don't expect you to debug it. But it seems to me we were using the term "live" differently. I think I understand now that the code you provide runs the recording on the current machine - simila

Thanks for the reply. Doesn't happen every day someone answers your sorrows with a two liner. I don't really see at what points it is checking for my pressed keys. I just was able to try your snippet. Unfortunately I do not get

Wow - happens rare but I really can't understand your answer. I never would have guessed jq to have any use for presentation. Can you give a short example how to apply your script.

I just wish they added a "live" presentation feature like the unmaintained "play it again sam" ( https://github.com/rfk/playitagainsam ) had.

Totally agree. While I learnt a few interesting concepts it doesn't feel lasting to learn isolated concepts. Personally I would like to have a little orientation system to pick a book to learn and get challenges focusing on the subjec

The problem is while presenting my IQ is 20 points lower. I suppose this holds for many people. There are too many presentations on youtube which spend minutes just fixing typos. I agree a few seem authentic but soon it just feels like a w

also needs a nod to https://github.com/rfk/playitagainsam which comes with a javascript player that can be embedded in presentations. Love the effect with a clickety keyboard ;)

Yes but that would leave clear evidence you tampered. Will be an interesting conversation with the cop explaining why your plate is sawed apart.

Also have a small garden with lots of fruit. Plenty to go around so I don't mind other people picking as well. Though we have safety concerns - people climbing trees and so on. We like to be in hearing distance in case something hap

For reference: The generic name what op does is "spatial indexing". There is an algorithm for efficiently working with such data called Hilbert R-tree ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert_R-tree ). But th
