No, but they incentivize opening cases in order to obtain such valuable prizes, at $2.50 a pop. TF2 does this too, with Unusual rarity hats.

Zim doesn't have a native phone app and syncing, though, and that's a big draw of Obsidian. It's plenty secure if you don't install plugins all willy-nilly.

Of course it depends on the context, but firing someone over one offense of calling someone a dickhead is quite reactionary and punitive. Grow up. Sometimes people say things they regret in the moment, it doesn't mean someone and pot

These supposed "productivity gains" are only touted by the ones selling the product, i.e. the ones who stand to benefit from adoption. There is no standard way to measure productivity since it's subjective. It's far more

Many people use tiling window managers, so title bars become useless. The first thing I did in configuring ghostty was disabling window decoration for this reason.

Why is it so hard to read the manual or even a cheatsheet? Many people use ffmpeg, it's not like there's a dearth of information out there...

Looking at the various issues reported in this thread, it honestly seems that burning the entire codebase and rewriting it would be the best choice. Bonus points for using a modern systems programming language.

Amongst niche circles of linguists, maybe. It's easy to single out for the average person because it's popular- english is a language learned around the entire world. Besides, I'd rather have some more word pronunications tha

All languages have inconsistencies, but it seems in vogue these days to single out english and use it as a punching bag. Furthermore, no natural human languages (i.e. not artificially constructed ones like esperanto) are logical. They all h

Ah I misunderstood. Yes that's a bit more complex. Your options boil down to a) using pkgs.autoPatchelfHook [0], b) learning some nix and writing a derivation yourself, c) using nix-ld [1]. There's also pkgs.steam-run which provid

Hi Jyn. "i don't use Nix partly because all my friends who use Nix have even weirder bugs than they already had and partly because i don't like the philosophy of not being able to install things at runtime." The first pa

fd -e pdf -x magick {} {/}.png Took less than a minute to write, test, and get the right dependencies (nix-shell -p imagemagick ghostscript). Scales to any number of pdfs. The terminal just wins probably 95% of the time as long as you

Every real, non-constructed language has weird rules, weird exceptions, ambiguities, and complete redundancies. English is on the more difficult end but it's not nearly the most difficult. I'm not sure how it got to be perceived a

The learning curve isn't due to the language, and personally I find writing nix files to be much more pleasant than any other build system I've worked with, and most languages that I've worked with.

You didn't make anything, aside from whatever lyrics, if any, you wrote yourself. The song is adequate. The beat, drop, and chords are not that complicated, you could've learned how to do that yourself and not be chained to suno o

I think effort is a signal that whatever the thing is, the artist/team -really- wanted to put it out there and have people view it. They had -something- that drove them to take the time and effort to make the thing. Zero-effort output

It's not the advice itself that is bullshit, it's that it's repeated as a mantra by people all the time. While I agree that everyone has different opinions, I do think the average person will appreciate being able to look bac

Every human learns a language from birth; there's no inherent reason why learning a second one "can't be for everyone". The thing is that it requires a lot of time and studying. At least 30 mins per day is the bare min

We did do those kinds of things. For example, speaking with a partner or having to give a 5 minute talk to the teacher on something. The problem is that it's grossly inefficient time-wise, and the content of "conversations" w

There is no one magic solution. Every person I know who has learned a language to an advanced degree has used a variety of methods, diligently, over a long period of time, depending on their current needs. I can give a brief overview of som

The only method worse than Duolingo for language learning is possibly the traditional classroom, in my humble opinion. My background is that I've studied Korean for ~8 years now, as a native English speaker. Like most US citizens I too

Using absolute chord analysis instead of relative chords (i.e. roman numeral analysis) doesn't make sense. As others have noted, the original dataset is flawed because the structure of a song is critical, you cannot omit repeating ch

It's likely the path of least resistance. Many people have whatsapp and it's far preferable to sms. Significantly fewer people have heard of signal, let alone have it installed. And privacy literacy, for a neighbor group chat?

I don't find it annoying and it's not totally irrelevant to the quality of the project. I'd MUCH rather a hobby web server be written in rust than C++ or C. I'm not touching the latter with a ten foot pole.

The language one speaks has nothing to do with literature class*, as the point is to teach reading comprehension, critical thinking, writing, and whatnot. The exposure of great works before college helps build a firm foundation on which to
