   I'm with you, Onenote has a unique niche. My pet theory is that Onenote can be seen by some HN types as too pedestrian (therefore not worth mentioning) because it is so popular yet is looked down on because it is made by Microsoft. MS

   Onenote does all those things. clunkily in the case of free arrangement, but hold ALT and it will do it. In my crazy moments, I imagine porting Onenote's files to a linux program for read/writing Onenote pre-Windows 10 local files

   Fedora or Mint KDE seem to be the places where I landed as a MS recovered fanboy who loves Windows 7 & Office 2010 and detests most post 2015+ MS products due to the aforementioned user hostile features and engagement thingies.

   Anecdote: Because of a months-long labor shortage and being unable to staff operations even after multiple temp agencies were engaged, an employer somewhere in the universe raised wages to a floor of 15 per hour this past month. It used to

   Agreed. But if Bing is going to pull stuff like this, and DDG just wraps Bing results, it can leave users with questions about what else may be being censored, directly or not.

    NASA is working with Lockheed on the X-59 QueSST to tackle the noise concerns. Construction is ongoing but over half complete according to wp . first flight planned for 2022. 2025 or so is when the icao expects to establish a new sonic boom

    Looks like they are more than just 'still out here'. Sounds like they are in the midst of a revival of interest and an influx of a new community. I'd never heard of zzt before today. It appears to be a way to make text games

    If the outcome of this is that they are rquired to enable app installation from sources that are not just their app store, then Apple will likely have a customer from me. Think about it, if they are required to support third party app store

    I've used details for optional or dynamic html forms, as they gracefully degrade even for mobile browsers from the pre iphone era that can't use JS. They work pretty well.

    Love me some Ben Eater videos. That's actually what made me realize that I've been thinking about doing this project long enough, and if he can build an entire breadboard computer, surely I can coax together a ps2-to-raspberrypi s

    I have 3 manual typewriters (a cheap brother charger, Olivetti SV something, and a 1920s pain-in-the-neck to use), and 3 electronic typewriters (Brother ML something with single line display, IBM ActionWriter II, IBM Wheelwriter 2000). None

    It's valid, just clunky to get going the first time. F# dev team is only ~7 people at MS, the rest is community supported projects and github issues. So while F# devs measure in the 10,000s, C# devs measure in the 100,000s

    Inform 7 is used to make Zork-style games. GET covid. GO WEST etc. Ink is more comparable to Branching narrative software like Twine, or Visual Novel software like Ren'Py.

    I watch Erlang / Elixir. But I really like strong static typing and type safety. So for now, I'm not learning anything beyond basic beam theory, lest I will have to unlearn it later. Gleam lang at least is definitely something I w

    agreed. ML [1] is short for meta langauge. Because it is not very C-like syntax by default, it can feel exotic and alien to most of today's unix graybeards, 90s enterprise, aughts startup folks, and even the JS crowd. see also its &#x2

    Windows 7 RTM cannot install the chocolatey package manager OOTB due to TLS 1.2 expectations, necessitating some work to get Windows up to date with Powershell V3 and such[1]. So maybe Windows 7 SP1, or Windows 8? [1] https://blo

    Sometimes downvotes are used for disagreement instead of a signal that a comment thread is off-topic or boring. FWIW asking why you are downvoted also makes for boring reading so is also discouraged. I'm somewhat doing the same to expl
