I used Zotero quite a bit in the past, the thing that ultimately drove me away is that when synchronizing you couldn't easily access the PDFs just via the filesystem. I use a nextcloud and also wanted to access PDFs from devices withou

Just logged in to say that this work is amazing and that I really like your style :) I also keep coming back to generative art and think about getting a pen plotter for years already. Now I am getting one!

Many people here say that slowing down is a must -- and I agree it's probably the best solution -- but surely there are more approaches we could think of: * Not allowing packages with similar names to popular ones * Not allowing packag

Very interesting article, thanks for sharing the information. FWIW, I used to be very happy with the Gnome environment but 2 recent (nautilus related) changes frustrate me incredibly: * Copy / paste file paths from nautilus to terminal

This. A 1000 times. Nobody really wants to focus too much on build configurations when working on things, they should 'just work'. And CMake, although I am using for a long time already, is not the offering this 'just works&#

Is someone here running an Anki sync server[1]? I would be keen to know about the experience of setting it up and maintaining it. The github project doesn't seem active, which I always find fishy for server applications. [1] https:&#x

I tried a few note taking apps but in the end came to the realization that regular editors are actually better at the job. My reasoning: * _Sync_ should not be solved by the note app (applications that implement sync themselves are usually

I totally get that this is irritating, however, there is also an advantage when run by someone like facebook: Users care about their existing profile and will behave better because of this (basically because they are not anonymous). IMHO, t

Oh, the number of hours of my life I spent debugging CMake files of third party libraries. You are very fortunate if you import libraries that just work. This is also true for "modern" CMake.
