I always thought TUI stood for "terminal user interface", though I guess "text" makes sense. First sentence of the Wikipedia article has both. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Text-based_user_interface

I understand you to be reading this as progressive, whereas I see it as the opposite: if you rent land but do not have the money to pay (for whatever reason) the rent still has to be paid.

Glad that you led with having made SumatraPDF, I love that app and it's a big recommendation for me.

I also grew up in Johannesburg, and really miss those trees. When you drive a little bit out of the city you see a completely different landscape. However I'm sceptical about the author's claim that there's no downside. I wou

You're not wrapping it in elisp. You can just write matplotlib in a code block, evaluate it, and pop out an image to your buffer.

They did recently (last 6-12 months) add virtual backgrounds to Meet in FF, and it feels fine now. That said I only use Meet on FF and Safari so maybe I don't know what I'm missing out on.

Change the font of a PDF without the source? Sure buddy, just give me a research team and five years. Edit: Whoops, apparently this is trivial. TIL.

Great idea, and I'd love to buy it - if only it weren't in Comic Sans!

I love iTerm2. It has a gazillion features, most of which I don't want and never use (but I love the small subset I do use). I saw the new AI stuff on the release notes, thought, "ugh, lame, I'll never use that", and mov

Considering that it's staggeringly expensive and there's not much to see there, it seems like the right decision to hold off once we'd established it could be done.

A lot of people in this thread seem to be interested in a hands-on, no theory, practical way of learning crypto. If this is you check out (HN MVP tptacek's) cryptopals.com

I read The Sot-Weed Factor earlier this year. It's a fascinating book, very funny and playful and connected to Maryland history. But none of the postmodern experimentalism of Giles Goat-Boy.

Pity most of the interesting information is missing because of legal concerns.

But the improvement induced the demand, which to my mind makes this different from Simpson's Paradox.

It will take a lot of evidence to convince me that asking politely, saying your job depends on the outcome, bribes or threats or any of this other voodoo is any more than just https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apophenia

I would qualify this. If you like movies, you like all sorts of movies. You can enjoy well-done schlock horror as much as experimental Thai drama. But you still have a sense of good and bad, and you don't want to sit through somethin
