What kind of media? An Obsidian vault is just a folder with files in it - and with the `![[file-name]]` syntax or the `![title](path/to/file)` syntax if you prefer plain markdown (for portability?!) it just embeds?

this. i'm on the swiss german keyboard layout. backticks are hard to do as a keyboard shortcut. they barely work as a character (e.g. for markdown formatting) but with a bit of pracitce that _does_ work. try getting default vim binding

Logged in just to +1 for QForth. I learnt _so_ much about computers trying to figure out QForth from the docs (on my palm pilot) in the train back in the day!!

The last few interviews I've run, I've shown the candidate sample code and asked them to review it. We have samples that have at least one bug / problem per line. Then some modeling task (whiteboard). We have some simple exer

yes, academia should totally love this, but my experience is that they just all got used to reading papers on their laptops or tablets. but I would totally love this. in fact, I have a remarkable tablet just for reading "papers" (

note also, that the temperature difference is also influenced by the outlet temperature: if you have a radiator system, you'll need a higher outlet temperature than say a floor or ceiling heating system. this is because the energy tran

You know, for all I agree with the post, and that leadership-as-cult is horrible, the question _why_ would someone put that in their LinkedIn title is trivial to answer: Because they want to get the moneys! Because they want to get hired as

Sir, you're doing PowerShell wrong: Run-WithAllTheElevatedPermissionsPossible -YesEvenThose .\inthisfolder.folder\. See, verb-noun. and single dash. because reasons?

optimistic (slightly distopian) view: governments will step in and build national artificial intelligence machines. OpenAI will be competing with open source LLMs. we'll all re-create society structured around a priesthood / cerem

unless the reason why these jobs weren't replaced with a simple shell script was that we didn't have enough people for whom such a shell script was "simple". maybe LLMs will change that: maybe it will help write all thos

I worked for a chair that studied this kind of stuff - your best bet is to figure out how to reduce the temperature lift. Due to the way the Carnot equation works (at least, that's what I _think_ it's called, this is all a while a

I didn't even use Apollo: I was hooked on the official iOS app. And used the blackout to kick the habit. Haven't looked back since. _Some_ of the free time I got back has now gone towards youtube shorts, but since those really req

you don't have to be super fit to cycle everywhere: it takes about 2-3 weeks in my experience for your body to get used to a bicycle commute even including a steep hill. just pack a clean shirt and put that on when you get to the offic

It's really hard to type out (e.g.) German text with the US layout.

I got super excited about this, but... there's no `choco install wingetui` or `scoop install wingetui` listed on the page... that made me mad enough to not bother at all and come here to complain instead...

Totally with you. But since I'm currently preparing to get certified for Scrum, I'd like to point out that all those things you mentioned above aren't really part of Scrum at all...

Case in point: As someone who was born in an English speaking community but moved to Switzerland (German speaking part) as a child, I had a hard time figuring out what a "spelling bee" was - you know, that trope from tv? It's

The heat pumps are located where the boiler room would be ;-) so... they're about as easy to steal as a boiler. Size is also similar - not that easy to stuff into your pants and walk of whistling.

FYI: You can actually deplete the ground temp over time, but drilling further down helps as does storing excess heat in summer to raise the temp below a bit (yay! free cooling!). There's a ton of research on this and these kinds of sys

importing is a _runtime_ operation: unless previously imported, the interpreter will go and import that module, executing that modules code. that can take a while. it will also bind a name in the current scope to the modules name, so... tha

I refused to learn PowerShell for way to long. Now that I have, I've started to like it quite a lot. It has some weird stuff, but hey. So did Perl ;-)

You'd think, but time and time again, the "rabble" votes against it's own interest. We had an initiative for 6 weeks holidays - shot down. We had other good (IMO) initiatives on UBI, Healthcare, you name it - shot down.
