Good lord! If you mass bookmark, aren't you just turning your bookmarks into your history? In that case why not just use browser history instead?

I don't think I ever need even ten, but I inevitably end up with 30+ spread across two browsers because I just don't close. Then I close all in CTRL+W rage* and rely on history + memory to find anything I'd like to return to.

Do you know if there is any particular advantage of Influx over Prometheus for IOT stuff? I also have noticed that Influx is way more popular in that space, but I don’t know whether the reasons are technical or just social (more tutorials,

But good pay and benefits can be taken at any time in a right-to-work state. And the pay is not consistent or transparent to quote adjectives from that section.

This is an interesting place for this to come from, since bandcamp has really been a model for fairness in how artists can distribute their work and get paid. And it was sadly recently bought by Epic Games. I know nothing about Epic, but I

I don’t really understand “juncture”, but money flows in the music and tech industries is changing, so it is nice if the people that produce the work make sure a good amount of money flows to them.

I actually thought about this company recently, because slack, zoom, Google suite, and all the other work apps perform so badly on my linux machine. Even with an i9 I get occasional full utilization. I thought I might just embrace the meme

> Targeted sanctions have historically been shown to work. Do you mind providing an example or two, with a sentence about how they “worked?” I ask because I can’t think of any sanction that had any result besides further impoverishing th

Why not respond to my long comment in this thread, where I defend this abstract? Your sentence---"It's intensely obscurantist"---is forceful-sounding but it has no argument. I also cannot say whether this paper is deliberatel

I'll try to answer. I absolutely don't think this look cherry-picked. In fact I think it looks like a reasonable humanities abstract! Note that I am far from a specialist in literature, but I do love to read. First of all, althoug

Thirded, I guess I just am unobservant, but I just keep using it and never notice that anything has changed until I see these threads. I do use a lot of keyboard shortcuts and color-coded containers, so maybe that's part of it.

Thank you for taking the time to provide links! I read through the Weiss article, and I'd already read the Greenwald one. However I don't believe either can credibly used to point to any kind of historical trend. The Weiss article

Any plans to add asciidoc support? This projects looks great, but markdown has severe limitations when authoring content. I really wish it would stop being used for anything but plaintext email and READMEs.
