Exactly, I need to take lots of notes and beyond search and sync, I need it conveniently everywhere with me on all devices. That's why I use Google Keep --- which is pretty terrible... except it's free, it's everywhere there&

Just wanted to add: Xournal (not ++) can also add text and add pictures (like a pic of a signature) too. Xournal can be installed from the official Debian repository, but not Xournal++ (not yet - it's apparently being worked on). So

Tail-call elimination / optimization is not a Scheme language-specific feature though. Other popular languages have TCO to varying degrees, like C and C++ when using fairly standard compilers like MSVC, GCC, Clang, or ICC [1]. Destruc

Does Flash time bomb itself by phoning home or checking network time? That'd stop it without updates. Could go back to an earlier Flash version without the time bomb at all, like they did at that railroad.

Apple deserves credit for bringing magnetic power cords to laptops, but they didn't invent it. It's been used on Zojirushi kettles since 1982: https://www.zojirushi.com/blog/?p=4147 I do like Magsafe. I alw

To be fair, I never advocated for "all browsers" to use WebKit. My suggestion is in terms of "strategic voting" [1]. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tactical_voting

Right, and it makes me wonder if it'd be better for Firefox and diversity of browser engines for FF to use WebKit. Looking at the StatCounter Aug 2020 stats [1], ignoring browsers less than 2% usage share (because I'm lazy), it lo
