Look into Espanso as well. Works great, and is cross-platform.

Git is not just a fad; it's a literal underpinning of most serious software development these days, especially if you need to work with others. That a CS grad doesn't even know basic Git is telling not of their degree, but of the

This is seriously amazing! Could have potential for parkour-like games, or even for exploring randomly generated liminal spaces.

How is it a "better C" as compared to Go? Genuinely asking.

Why wasn't Python used? I imagine for such a use case it wouldn't be that much heavier to use Python vs Lua.

To be fair, the project sounds completely pointless. Why is why I absolutely love it. It's the true hacker's spirit - about testing the frontiers of what's possible. Note what was said as well: > This is really just a b

Out of curiosity, what was the trigger for the heart attack? I see you enjoyed your work, so I wonder if the stresses were beyond that? Or was it a diet/lifestyle issue?

This... seems a bit deeper than a comment about just Git.

The moment I read the text I knew the title was satirical. You know it is when it starts like this: "...All tabular knowledge can be stored in a single long plain text file. The only syntax characters needed are spaces and newlines.&q

One caveat: if the blobs (e.g. images) in the DBs are static, and transactions are read only/writes happen infrequently, then having all your blobs in one SQLite DB makes for an insanely easy backup strategy, compared to having thousan

The fact that any super-smart person can be 'hacked' is nothing new. It's no different than how smart human beings can still be brainwashed/indoctrinated/programmed into believing anything (whether by 'the gove

As a lawyer, I find the law (which is supposedly 'logical' and 'rational') to be highly absurd at times. It's unavoidable, given that the law heavily involves humans. I am in part drawn to software development and p

Your statement make no sense. I cite how science permits plausibility upon evidence. This is in contrast to OP's wishful dogma, where anything not presently known must be fantasy/sci-based and implausible - which is not how scienc

I'm more than willing to forgive ChatGPT for wrong readings of Japanese names. Even common names can have non-standard readings. Native Japanese folks mix up readings for names, and need kana sometimes. Personally, I've never yet

This was an interesting (and unexpectedly) practical use of CSS for non web-dev purposes. Great idea!

As a legal practitioner, and as someone who has friends within the medical community, I find your outrage odd. There's a reason why civil courts and judges are often given leeway to decide against the reception of expert testimony - be

I am with the High Court judge on this one. There was no procedural flaw in the process; it was purely the mistake of the lawyer. The system should not be blamed, when the lawyer could have acted carefully. Hundreds of divorces can proceed

How is there no comment on this article? The graphics analysis is really spot-on, and really makes sense now why NES games look the way they do.

You sound like someone who's not a musician. There are ways to 'humanize' music, by use of messing around with rhythms/syncopation, velocity, distortion, etc. Not all of it is intentioned - quite a number of stuff is aut
