I love having a variety of these types of sites available for a new language. Different learners will react well to different styles. My personal favorite is AWK in 20 Minutes: http://ferd.ca/awk-in-20-minutes.html The AWK

Last I checked the formatting results of toLocaleString differ between browsers and NPM for certain locales. A quick search finds a handful of issues on Github about it, but I'm pretty sure there's a more in-depth stack overflow d

(The article sums up a lot of this, but the actual website is more misleading) I went through and clicked on the about page. The books aren't sold through local book stores. It's a front for Ingram, which handles the orders. The l

It turns out the key for me was that my mic requires phantom power and that the Fethead blocks it from reaching the mic. There are apparently some versions of the Fethead that allow pass-through of phantom power, but not the one I tried. I

I was a bit surprised to see the recommendation of another inline preamp in the chain with the Focusrite. He recommends a TRITON AUDIO FetHead Filter in-Line Microphone Preamp. Does anyone have further experience with this setup? I've

I was refering to plain text as the interface to the machine, not the file formats. When your primary interface is through text, it makes sense that good tooling would develop.

Yes, recutils comes in 3 forms: a c library, command line utilities, and an org-mode plugin.

I don't, sadly. That is an example from the Recutils help docs, not my own personal collection.

I think you're referring to my book data? It's all from Goodreads export, not hand entered. I love my compose key and will get around to cleaning this up.

I couldn't find much more, which is why I decided to write this intro. I may do a video exploration of the various tools and features as well. It seems like others are as excited by this as I am.

Blog author here. Glad to see someone submitted this and you all liked it. Recutils has MUCH more to offer beyond the basic intro I gave here. It has wonderful org-mode integration for you emacs people. Here's a recfile of my read book

I use between 4 & 6 primary email "blocks" with each using several hundred aliases. I keep access to most, but not all of these blocks in Thunderbird on my two laptops. One of the email accounts I only access from a dedicated

I'm on IRC constantly via Weechat on a VPS and Weechat-Android connecting my phone. Servers I use: irc.tilde.chat irc.sdf.org irc.freenode.net and a few others here and there. There's a huge amount of IRC usage in the wild still.

Very nice. I love the ESV translation. If you're into minimal Bible versions and old-school protocols, here's my ESV Bible on gopher: gopher://gopher.black/1/bible

That really does seem like the much saner approach, doesn't it? Like, keep display for outer display as it has the history, and use "flow" for the inner. flow: flex, flow: grid, flow: normal, or something. But HN comments are

Best of luck. We moved here this summer and it's lovely. It's quite easy with an EEA passport and remote work. If you make it over, look me up and I'll buy you a kaffi.

It's a nice front-end wrapper on MJML. It's even using the MJML sample template in this case. I appreciate the front-end work and I bet it would be helpful for some users who aren't great at writing code. I do wish it was a b

To this day I still do the sound effect of the skeletons that floating up the screen as my go-to "spooky noise". What a fun game. Burn:Cycle was my #1, followed closely by Escape from Cyber City. The CD-i did have some really fun

A bit, yes. The tildeverse (and tilde.club) are public access UNIX systems just like SDF. The offerings are different and they're run by volunteers. Check out https://tildeverse.org to learn more about the various servers a

I wish Google would take a note from Mozilla's add-on submission process and allow the source to be uploaded as a separate package. It's simple to test that the source package builds to match the compiled code and gives a more eas

I've been on a number of silent retreats that focus on contemplation, usually prayer. Of those the vast majority have been 3-day retreats which begin on a Friday after dinner and end on a Sunday with a lunch. They're a great intro
