ToastUI ( https://ui.toast.com/tui-editor ), which builds on ProseMirror, was really easy to set up and has been very stable for us. It's a WYSIWYG editor that just renders markdown, which is what we wanted to have as th

They did the same thing to me and I never used them again. Don’t they realise they are losing repeat customers?

It has worked well for many years, at least for me. More people than you might expect really do focus an account on one topic. Some people have multiple accounts to separate work/personal life as well. It’s nothing personal for me not

TWTR investors seem unfazed, at least so far. Stock is essentially flat on the news.

I actually still get a pretty decent experience out of Twitter. The only topic I really engage with is remote work.. I don’t follow very many people (only humans who post real content) and unfollow anyone who goes “off topic”. Which is too

They think they are helping by switching to English. I’ve never had anyone refuse after politely asking to switch back because I’m learning.

The language test is incredibly easy, for what it’s worth. It is nowhere near fluent, or really even conversationally competent. It’s things like saying the correct words when buying an apple at a store.

It is iconic as a sort of meme, people always mention it when they want to say that they don't like any art produced in the last few hundred years.

Fair enough, worth mentioning still that contemporary art (the name for the period we're currently in) is also not all anti-art either.
461.
by j4yav 5y ago
The first two I would categorize more as anti-art ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-art ). Modern art, which does include Klimt, is its own thing that is (relatively?) more traditional than those examples: https:&#x2

Well, you can visit those other places for I think up to half the year and 90 days at a time, but you can't change your residence without applying for a new visa.

The Netherlands has a treaty called DAFT where any US citizen can come to start a business. It’s also very pro knowledge migrant, the visas are easy to get and they also offer a huge tax benefit for 5 years. Once here, you can travel in the

The comic seems to be saying that travel and living overseas doesn’t even help with simple problems like being bored in your routine beyond the very short term, which doesn’t really match my personal experience at least.

For me personally the combination of immigrating permanently to Europe plus remote work gave me an ever-changing box, in a good way. There’s lots of very different cultures just a drive away, and remote work lets me head out often and for e

Even getting diminishing returns on all the variety and everything in the world in your 30s to me seems crazy, but to each his or her own. I am in my 40s and don’t feel like my world is trending towards indistinguishable gray mush at all. Y

I have to charge daily (but I wear it the rest of the day, including when sleeping). I usually do it in the morning after my workout as I start work.

The Apple Watch surprised me in how much awareness of my health it generated - mainly how much and what quality sleep I was getting, but also other general signals. It helped me pay more attention and make some good health improvements. Pre

I think maybe it’s easier to get stuck in a rut, go on autopilot, rely on what you know and then end up feeling like there’s no novelty in the world any more as you get older and comfortable. Maybe you can fall so deeply into it that you ca

by j4yav 5y ago
If you’re out of novelty in the world by 35 I think that’s more on you than the world. There’s really so much out there - complexity in every direction and at every focal length. If you want to center your life around novelty-seeking you ca

That’s right, jobs matter too and that’s the discussion that’s happening (otherwise they would presumably just keep the promise to not take it back apart). For what it’s worth, it didn’t go off the previous time without a hitch, it ended up

Agreed, it will also be debated by our elected representatives next week. In the end Dutch people tend to be pragmatic and I suspect it will be dismantled again, but we will see. At the same time, there is a strong sense of societal fairnes

I live here, people are upset and talking about it. The article I linked to also covers what you’re asking about, going over the perspective of the citizens concerned with breaking the promise as well as the perspective of the mayor and com

The link posted here on HN doesn’t seem to work, but the anger is about dismantling a national monument bridge that was promised to never be dismantled again (unless, apparently you are quite rich and then you can get the promise broken), n

Alex Jones actually said they would likely use crisis actors before the shooting happened where he said it actually happened. That doesn’t make him correct or more credible. It just means he didn’t have any evidence either before or after.

by j4yav 5y ago
If I don’t need evidence, though, I can just say you are a cheat (and worse, since I don’t need any evidence) anyway and then if you beat me whip up a mob to run you out of town. Politicians do this sort of thing to each other all the time.

I am referring to the specific words in the transcript that they were using as they talked past each other, not trying to (re)define anything. The member of the press seemed to be under the impression that information should be associated w

by j4yav 5y ago
It’s a fair point. They were sort of talking past each other about information and evidence.
479.
by j4yav 5y ago
Doesn’t that sort of make it a noop though? I.e., its just a claim for which they can provide no evidence, and anyone can (and do) make those all the time and it’s just how politics works. I can only imagine how hard it must be to protect s

Reminded me of this as well: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3m5qxZm_JqM , with the back and forth talking past each other.
