The complication of PPT led me, with the assistance of LLMs, to design a simple but powerful enough alternative editor of slides based on a markdown format that uses reveal.js as presentation engine https://github.com/juanjo

Not anywhere near Mathematica, but a good replacement for Matlab. From a daily user of all those.

I've had a lot of fun vibe coding my own text-based email client and reader using mostly Python's stdlib. It is my daily driver and found no problem with parsing so far. It also leads to a very efficient and simple HTML reader sub

Many banks restrict the number and capabilities of secondary users. In the end I had to get a power of attorney, but for me observing these changes is just a warning. I see a pervasive use of a phone as means of authentication and the compu

Maybe you don't live in any European country. 2FA with cell phone has become compulsory for most banking procedures in Spain, to the point that I can even no longer assist my parents without being present there with them. Even when the

I don't know what's new on this. For the last two years all Office apps I own have insisted on saving to OneDrive first. I have always had to explicitly click on the path and select another folder. Every. Single. Time.

I am not familiar with Janet but have been a long time lisp developer. Could you perhaps add a few lines to the readme explaining how the build process for jwno works? Would love to give it a try, understand how it works and hack around :)

Not necessarily. A three or four year PhD in Europe is a short time to acquire a solid network (a lot of time is spent in training, unless the student is very proactive) and not all PhDs broaden their horizon to have a well differentiated t

It's not hate but unwillingness to support a guy promoting extreme right wing Nazi parties in Europe. That's a no go in my agenda. The only reason I don't delete my profile is I don't want anyone to use my name.

I believe they are so aggressive that they have broken their shopping cart code. For instance, as Prime subscriber I usually get at checkout preselected options that would be aimed at getting people subscribed. Like two separate boxes stati

As former maintainer of ECL, another open software Common-Lisp, I can attest that both CMUCL's and SBCL's are extremely useful as reference implementation for much of ANSI CL. I learned a lot regarding LOOP, or how to implement th

You obviously do not understand tenders and also have a bad faith in addressing this message towards me (García-Ripoll) and Artur. First of all, this tender only received one application. There could have been other applicants as it happe

I love Gnucash, have been using it for my personal accounting for 20 years, but the stock and funds part is horribly complicated. Yet I have not found anything better.

I can second this program. I am usually into kettlebells, but for several months I was travelling and required an alternative. This program is an open version of the "Convict Conditioning" program which works just as well. I'

Having a dedicated space makes a huge difference in concentration. However, it also helps you feel relaxed in other parts of the house. I lived long in a single space studio and worked everywhere in the flat. After a few months I ended up h
