huh? it's just substack... the whole point is this half blog/half newsletter thing. It does have a close button, called "Let me read it first"

This is really fantastic! I've always felt like the lisp family could be a potentially killer educational language, with clojure being a good pick for its focus on functional ideas while being a bit more concise (and practical (looking

Quite a lot of people, i think. The google play app alone has been downloaded over a 100 million times. All my family and some friends use it as our primary platform for communication.

Someone told me a while ago that if you hit "log in" a close button appears in the top left, and you can close the dialog without signing in.

Maybe I'm just not good enough, but i use Dvorak on desktops(~110wpm on typeracer) and still use qwerty on my phone. The (perceived) comfort improvement just isn't there for me when I'm typing with two thumbs and use a swipe

Really glad to see more people switching to meow[0]. It felt extremely right after using and being frustrated by both standard emacs and evil. I wrote the article [1] linked in the post, so that was really fun to see as well! Tldr: simplici

I'm stunned by how well this works for Japanese, the only language I think I'm good enough at to judge the AI's responses. The speech recognition is flawless as far as I can tell. The AI occasionally gets itself into a loop o

AHK's prime utility seems like hacking optimizations on inefficient-for-power-users gui software. It kind of makes sense then that this was made for and got popular on windows, because that OS is absolutely rife with annoying gui softw

Some people have mentioned window managers, but nothing comes quite close in terms of extensibility and feature as dwm[0] and xmonad[1], which is a near dwm reimplementation in haskell with many more interesting features. Both programs are

My interpretation is that the same initialization config will lead to the same setup every time, in the sense that each installation is pure in a way. Of course, while it probably just works, it's only actually pure if you pin every pa

You might be right in cad and eda, but there's surely a case to be made that python libs(numpy, sympy), sage, r, octave could be better that matlab or mathematica.

I think anki is still probably the way to go. It doesn't store your cards in plain text, they're in a sqlite database instead. I use ankipandas[0] to read, manipulate and analyze my cards though. [0] https://github.com&

This is pretty neat, I've also encountered the same problem. Personally, I take my notes in emacs org-mode, and I've built up a workflow around anki-editor[0], some snippets and elisp. [0] https://github.com/louiet

I think the link is bad evidence, but they mentioned the "global population," which makes the claim more reasonable.

It is a little bit unfortunate that alacritty is licensed under Apache, which means it can be forked into proprietary software like this. If it was gpl like kitty, the authors would have had no choice but to make it fully open source from t

That's exactly why, free/open source enthusiasts are just the minority type to prefer freedom or privacy over convenience.

I wonder why such a presumably free software extreme, Microsoft/apple hater would license under gpl2 instead of 3.
