I think its hardly that much of an interesting idea. Reading wide ofcourse is useful and interesting. But I doubt reading obituaries are the best way to go about that. One approach that I often do, is to go to fivebooks.com when an any rand

I think the UML statecharts are a much more useful diagrams than sequence diagrams. It can convey a lot more of the behaviour especially if you use the entire 'Harel' formalisms. Too bad, they aren't that popular to document

Atleast in places like HN. Its not uncommon to see articles being called out for indulging in "narrative" where mere reporting of facts would have sufficed

Obsidian on Android source seems not available. Even generally the reports seems that source is not available. May be the freebsd build is using some binary library packages? A cursory search indicates that one of the freebsd 'build-sc

Indeed some of these apps really ask for such expansive set of permissions than they need. Obsidian for example asks for permission for entire filesystem, while it really needs to access the files which the user needs it to see.

Android already has support for scoped storage. So it is not clear why Obisidian needs the whole file system permission.

Obsidian isn't open source by most reports. Surely Obsidian do not to see all files on the device, it only really needs to see the files the user needs it to see.

Some apps like Obsidian needs permission to access every file on the device. It is surprising Obsidian isn't getting called out on that very much.

If you read Bertrand Russell's History of Western Philosophy, he takes rather dim view of Marcus Aurelius, and specifically doubts the seriousness of his writings and ideas, considering them somewhat dubious.
