While the stationary background universe model proposed by Peter Ostermann doesn't rule out „dark matter”, it at least doesn't require „dark energy“ in order to match with observational data. http://peter-ostermann.org&

I've had my "no more DRM" experience when my ebook reader crashed on a vacation, required a reset and wouldn't let me read the DRM protected books afterwards. I'm still buying eBooks without DRM. At least in Germany

I've had a similar experience about two months ago. Our app is a simple health and fitness tracker. When corona broke out, we made some adjustments so that people could track their symptoms and export them as Excel file in order to sha

This. After having fiddled around with Emacs over the weekend, having tried out Spacemacs and Doom and working through some tutorials, I concluded that I definitely won't replace VSCode with Emacs for coding any time soon. As a Git &am

You shouldn't use usernames in that scenario, just emails. After Signup, you just show a general message that a confirmation Email has been sent. If the account already exists, some policy to notify the account owner can be put in plac

I can confirm that outlook.com is truly awful in that regard. The fact that I continously got important emails marked as Spam, even when they were from an UN org and I've exchanged emails with some of the participants before, made me l

At least since 2.0 (haven't used Couch before), the docs have always recommended to only use small documents in a CouchDB and to use an external storage for large files. The IBM Cloudant free tier only allows Doxs up to 1 MB. So this d

I can confirm that the stack still works well :) We've been developing a cross-platform app for the German market - therefore the need of offline capability - since 2017 and never had any real issues with Pouch/Couch, that part ju

This sounds like good advice. I'm also employed at an early-stage startup and enjoy peeking into different areas in order to become proficient enough to be a founder myself at some point. In contrast, I rather disliked my first studen

Same here. Yes, it's buggy and annoyingly messing up the formatting of messages, especially when trying to use WYSIWIG Markdown. Since we're running on Office365 due to Management preferences, we started using Teams. With Franz, i

I don't agree that a WYSIWIG Markdown editor can't ever work well. I've been using Typora and MarkText a lot over the last year and usually only had to revert to the plain text view when doing larger formatting changes in enu

Yeah for me this was also the obvious solution when I had to extract information from ~80 GB of tabular data. It's not the most trendy tool, but it did the job extremely well and with little effort. Just be sure to only create an index

I appreciate Mark Text a lot, have been switching from Typora at the beginning of the year. I'm taking all my notes with it and find features like KaTeX and Mermaid very useful. Some remarks and questions from my side: - How is the cur

Thanks for pointing out ConTeXt, I might try it out for my next presentation. The examples in the wiki seem to provide all that I need in a much more concise way that the LaTeX-Beamer package.

Allington often uses Markdown, which he describes as more “lightweight” than LaTeX, because the formatting commands are more straightforward. [...] That said, some journals and conferences don’t accept documents in Markdown format. Having

I agree. During my Maths + CS studies I've been using mainly MatLab and R, Andrew Ng's famous Machine Learning intro was also taught in MatLab/ Octave. But using just one „proper” general purposing language like Python instea
