There was the person who viewed the blast from behind glass with no protection, which I'm pretty sure is a reference to his story about the exact same thing.

Overleaf solves a lot of the same problems as Typst, although since it's still within the LateX ecosystem. For example changes are immediately visible (or immediately after a recompile, but practically I almost never notice) and Overle

Conspicuously missing a comparison to Overleaf, arguably the most similar in nature to what this is trying to achieve. Cool project, nevertheless.

I'm quite puzzled by this comment. A quick glance through the article and there seem to be several references to what appear to be serious academic work. So is the issue with the work of the academics? Or the way Wikipedia has put toge

> How can you grant without agreeing to grant? I think it's more that they're being explicit about the logical AND in that sentence. You agree to grant, AND grant them the permission. I think it's a technicality about it b

I had a similar thought. But it also struck me that "externalising the maximalism" by using a library like the unix ssh implementation is probably the best way to go about it, since it's a widely used well tested library that

I've personally tried a bunch of writing and note taking approaches, and since it's such a personal process your personal preferences strongly dictate what works for you and what doesn't, at least in my experience. Org mode i

In spiritual/mystical literature there are many references to enlightenment being the realization that all consciousness is connected. In the light of this research I wonder if what they are talking about is synchronicity. Perhaps medi

+1 for fitnotes, probably the best app out there for my needs. Very flexible, gets out of the way, and has some basic analytics like plotting graphs and calculating one rep max values (which I never use). The graphs I find very useful to se

So rather than blanket surveillance, wouldn't it make more sense for the government to build a case against a suspect, and then issue a warrant to track their behaviour etc? Unless the assumption is that all citizens of a country are p

I could see a socks or underwear manufacturer called MicroSoft. Aren't trademarks domain specific anyway? Unless Nadella suddenly decides to branch into fashion of course.

Can you expand a little bit on how the galaxy rotation curves were explained from standard Newtonian physics? From some Googling it appears that dark matter is still the dominant favourite theory, followed by some kind of MOND.

According to this article, they way they bypass WhatsApp's end-to-end encryption is by gaining access to the host device itself, and then recording everything that's on the screen. So this would mean switching to something like Si

I absolutely can recommend LineageOS (used to be CyanogenMod). I installed it for the first time about a week ago on my phone, and I couldn't be happier. Rooting it is straightforward, and the first thing I did was to install a firewal

Well, I mean that's what they're doing as well. They call features other people use and require "bloat" and pretty much say they all suck. I think it's fair to say suckless code is clean and minimalist. But it defin

There's a tendency in the popular science world and the physics world to glorify high energy physics, and string theory and all that goes along with it. It's definitely useful - After reading one of those books I was pretty convin
