Regarding the `timer` script, it appears to block the shell. A way to avoid this would be to spawn a subshell for the sleep command like this: `( sleep "$1" && notify ... ) &`

You can perhaps use `strftime` instead of `trim(system('date ..))`: inoremap <Leader>date <C-r>=strftime("%a %B %e, %Y %H:%M:%S %p")<CR> nnoremap <Leader>date :put=strftime("%a %B %e, %Y %

In defence of emacs: if I were using emacs, I'd be doing that not because of Neal Stephenson's essay, but rather because of the long-established legacy of the development, and because of the community. I believe that the combinat

Exactly. We can also win a tiny bit of the distance by assuming the Moon in the perigee, where the distance to the Moon is about 363000 km. I also assume that these distances are measured between the centers, so we can perhaps subtract tw

Looks neat! Is there a way to make it work with pandoc?

Here's a guide I found useful to set up zotero storage. In brief, it relies on zotfile to flatten the storage (keep all pdfs in one directory) and better bibtex. I realized that it helped me to get rid of exactly the pain with fresh i

Great work, helped me to calm down a bit! There was a bit of jumpscare for me at the end though: when the circle jumps back to being a button again. May I suggest adding a slower deflation?

I'd assume adding noise is done once per song and is thus a bit computationally cheaper than trying to denoise each input.

There is quite an excitement about how someone has hacked the language model to output what was supposed to be a non-public set of rules apparently. How do people know if this is indeed the secret set of rules, not the list that the model w

Reminded me of the story about Feynman being challenged by an abacist to compute cubic root https://www.ecb.torontomu.ca/~elf/abacus/feynman.html

Define your \newcommands in commands.tex and tell pandoc to add it to the header: `pandoc -H commands.tex ...` There can be multiple header files like this.

I'd guess you have to first convert markdown to tex with --natbib flag, then compile the tex (assuming the input is input.md and you want input.tex at the output) `pandoc -f markdown -t latex -o input.tex --natbib input.md` It is perha

Pandoc is a standalone application that converts between a huge variety of formats, including markdown to pdf, which means that you can write your plain text markdown in the editor of choice and then convert it to pdf using pandoc. To use c

That's interesting, thanks. Out of curiosity, is there a guide to learn more about the German style?

I think it deserves a separate mention: lichess has so much better clock UI. Their clock is big and very clearly visible both on desktop and mobile. It also goes red when you are low on time. Chess.com's clock is tiny and I saw som

I appreciate the unicode support.
