Now this had me curious. Is there someone out there who has actually created a theme/template website for a static site generator like Hugo, Zola, or Jekyll where you could use both the usual markdown and the actual code files themselv

I think it's not so much as having many options but more so of having a lot of backup plans for when things eventually go wrong. There's analysis paralysis after all. It would be better to say that empowerment is maximized when th

Complex numbers! I didn't expect complex numbers to have a deeper relation to quantum mechanics. It feels like negative probabilities is just the "sqrt(-1) doesn't make sense" topic all over again. Yeah, why is it Quan

The model is actually pretty good. I tried some silly lyrics from a copypasta about eyeglasses and it's not half bad: https://suno.com/song/74eb1694-f388-42fd-86fa-960b83177afc https://suno.com/son

[start devil's advocate] Uh... What makes this better than just installing something like the Stylus extension and learning some CSS? For the price (and even a subscription?) it just seems ridiculous and just spending some time with pe

Some of the songs generated with this are hilarious. For example: https://www.udio.com/songs/jPdgtC9en8s8nh5V2aZUJa https://www.udio.com/songs/dkp5W5P6oCuCmcbfHMtSUR

Lol, yes. Scientists, engineers, accountants, businessmen, etc. all use Excel. They say the modern world is built upon spreadsheets (even broken ones that show the wrong data). I forgot who said this though...

Laughs in pinch to zoom which works for zooming into images as well. I just really hate those websites that disable this and the regular zoom.

Why is the applied pedagogy of teachers in classrooms even falling way behind the educational psychology and neuroscience research anyway in most of the world? It's been long known that things like active recall, spaced repetition, imm

Have you tried living in the dense cities like Mumbai, India or Manila, Philippines? It's quite clear that with population density, trash output also increases and is harder to manage. By experience, it's not a pleasant way to liv

Regardless, at the end of the day, budgets still need to be followed whether you're an individual or a business. It's simply insane in the first place that someone on the free tier would want absolutely no downtime regardless of h

Getting DDoSed is rare but highly destructive when it does happen if you happen to use something like Netlify. GitHub Pages is under fair use and only for personal projects (no commercial uses). For commercial use, something like Cloudflare

Yeah, I'm already using Cloudflare because of Google Domains got de facto killed by Google via transferring it to Squarespace. Why not Cloudflare Pages, CDN, and R2 (S3-compatible storage) too? I'm even considering paying for the

This actually looks a better paradigm than the firehose of RSS feeds (even if grouped by tags/categories). Thank you for sharing this.

I guess the design of the launcher is meant to make you more intentional about using your phone by adding friction. Reduced notifications, smaller selection of favorite apps to choose from, and search for everything else. And it's not

Niagara is very clean and a unique take on launchers. I don't need to fiddle with "home screens" anymore and just have my most used apps right there. And for the less frequently used ones, it's just one swipe with my thu

I also switched to Niagara Launcher, and it's great especially with the new icons update (everything looks so consistent)! It decreased my usage as well but I still find myself going back to old habits whenever stress mounts, despite h

Cool work! On a similar vein, this would nicely complement LinkedIn's Career Explorer [0] to make it easier to write a CV. I hope more freely available tools on this gets showcased in the future. [0]: https://linkedin.github

Yeah, I concur with the idea. I think that's also the set up for other templates as well. As for me, I went with YAML since I think there should be minimal markup to the data since it's a CV and nothing fancy like a webpage. I don

May I ask how you did it? I went with Typst because I found Markdown to be too unstructured/limiting and didn't want to use LaTeX (hard to use data from external files: CSV, YAML, JSON, etc.) templates to compensate.

You would need to use a (freemium) app for that: OneSync or AutoSync for Google Drive. I have OneSync but I'm currently using Syncthing (to not have to buy an upgrade and to better control which files are synced). To reduce sync confli

There are ways to get around the lockin just like with Evernote. It's not easy nor clean as with any attempt to migrate but one way to do it is via Pandoc and Lua Filters to transform custom syntax to other forms. For Obsidian, I was a

Seconded. On this, I think the book "A Mind for Numbers" by Barbara Oakley summed up the lessons when it comes to learning the best. The effort/struggle to learn a topic is a signal to the brain that this particular informati
