How does it compare to Montaigne? Of course Montaigne wasn't writing a diary, he was writing a study about himself.

Avherald seems overwhelmed. Any other sources for more information?

Moonrise Kingdom was good too, it had something at its core, not just stylish visuals.

Is there any analysis why there was major violent conflict in colonial Algeria with the French, but there was not as much in Tunisia.

At one time, reading Henry James(and a few others) was considered one of the pleasures of being an Adult. Perhaps because he so analysed people and their actions in a complex worldly-wise manner. Perhaps in a manner in which one would analy

How did the Art of Computer Programming help you in those years?

My objection was to the concept of gatekeeping/barriers to entry for posting/uploading. Not that everything uploaded demands the same attention.
38.
by billfruit 1y ago
GitHub works on a similar model, without any barrier of entry, and it works well.

I meant article does not explain anymuch other than that the game is popular. It should have carried more and deeper analysis.

by billfruit 1y ago
GitHub lets anyone upload code. It works perfectly fine.
41.
by billfruit 1y ago
The article does not analyse why it became popular or what makes it unique. A shallow article.

by billfruit 1y ago
Why the gatekeeping. Only what is said matters, not who says it.

Also using an engine allows us to make progress on the project itself, rather than sinking major time into building infrastructure. Reinventing the wheel isn't that fun for most people.

That(using whole device, all files access permissions) is entrusting all your files to the good senses of Obsidian, which is not an open source app. There isn't a good reason to grant an app unlimited file access permissions.
45.
by billfruit 1y ago
Still they are recommending people to use device storage permissions with "All files" permissions rather than the limited App Storage permissions. They prefer that the users use the less secure option.

Also Obsidian asks for permissions to read files in all of the device on Android. They don't explain clearly why that is necessary. I don't see it being discussed that widely. Also another aspect is that many people seems to thin

Curation isn't that big of a problem as is stated. Especially when it becomes gatekeeping. It is more important that there is possibility of unrestricted discoverability and exploration than having curation.

Doesn't Lazarus serve a similar purpose?

Java perhaps? That was one of the core promises of the Java ecosystem.

Sounds very interesting, which text book did you use for your course?

The terminology used is very confusing. There should be a better name for this than 'docs as code'.

But latex support for tables are very unergonomic.
54.
by billfruit 1y ago
Does it have better/easier tables. Does it support complex tables like with images in it, with alternating horizontal or vertical text in cells, tables inside tables, tables with alternative row/column shading, etc while still sup

People used to be always ready to scrible down things in the past I think, perhaps in the same way people are eager to take pictures now. Ofcourse one can't know before hand what's worth noting down and what's not, so I guess

Pictures are one way, there are other ways too like writing a journal. Camera after all is a recent invention.

by billfruit 1y ago
Asciidoc is also a good alternative. Are people looking seriously at shortcomings of latex and moved towards modern replacements? Major problems include: - Tables are a huge pain. - Customized formatting like chapter headings, footers, etc

Didn't Wirth(may be it was someone else) say that it is better to have a complex data structure and simple algorithm/code that works on them than having simple data structures and complex code. Complex data structures absorb lot o

Perhaps it is an elementary doubt, but does it all apply to rotational motion? Does a wheel rotating along its own axis continue to rotate in perpetuum, in the absense of friction, air resistance etc?
