VS Code silently stores copies of all files you are editing in the %APPDATA%/Code/User/History folder. Even files you are editing from, say, truecrypt volumes because they contain sensitive data. I don't like that. An ad

Nice! This seems to actually solve a problem in my workflow with Zotero: manage the _personal_ metadata around the references. How did I find the reference? What parts are relevant? Etc. Definately going to give it a try.

> vanilla JS (no external tool needed: no bundler, no webpack, no TypeScript compiler, no minification needed...) Nice, I like that. I dread the modern way of having to jump through random hoops to get a garbled output that is supposed t

I tried this a while, but then I realized that I'm mostly reading for fun. I don't want to memorize what I'm reading. Almost never. Even whenever I really need to memorize stuff, I ended up using the memory palace technique,

Tbh, for me (in the Netherlands) it was the costs that went from 120 euro per month up to 600 per month. I'm ashamed to admit we were able to cut about 40% by simple measures.

I am struggling to see the "why". Maybe that is obvious for some readers, but it would help readers like me to add a "why" to the readme. What problem does it solve?

I did label it as such, although I didn't feel it helped to use the label. Because it's so often used jokingly, it feels like an underrating of what you're going through. You may come out of the period as a totally different

I switched to teaching after 20 years (sidenote: I'm not the only one mentioning "20 years". Is there a common thread?) I've been doing it for one and a half year now, so maybe it's a bit too early to draw conclusio

In the Netherlands the tagline of the tax authorities used to be "we can't make it funnier, but we can make it easier". Most tax forms are online and pre-filled with data they already have. For most people it's probably

The techniques all exist or have existed. It's gaining traction that is the problem. In the meantime, Firefox reader view (don't know how it's called) helps me sometimes.

I tried that (I've done this many times because of local development of APIs), but Thunderbird doesn't seem to use this. Or: it is another problem, but Thunderbird doesn't give any helpful message.
