I think it's also the greatest tool for learning there is, so it's worth it to over come that tendency and develop discipline when using it for learning.

Sway is very close to a 1.0 release, 1.0-rc4 was just released: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/1735 It is and has been quite stable as a regular user on the sway-git version for awhile, but I can&#x27

I like to buy Bulgarian or Greek yoghurt and add jam to it. That way you can control the sugar content. Those types of yoghurts in particular also have a great, slightly sour taste that is great on its own once you get used to the relative

I wouldn't consider either German or Austrian cuisines to be vegetarian-friendly. Especially when contrasted with Indian food. Having a few dishes that simply don't contain meat is a pretty low standard to set. I think good vegeta

Just went hunting for a goodreads link to post the same, then found your comment. Really great book!

Thanks, I'll check it out! EDIT: it's a great app! Supports search and preview mode, links work properly too. It's just unfortunate that it's not open-source, which I find pretty important for some of the sensitive infor

I actually am already using vim_markdown - thanks! It works well in terms of rendering, but I still have no ability to search, which I guess isn't the responsibility of vimwiki/vimwiki_markdown, but might need to be some postproce

I use vimwiki, and I'm really liking the simplicity of plain text notes (markdown in my case). I've never used orgmode, but I prefer to use other tools for to-dos and calendar/organization anyways. From reading about it, I th

As a German speaker, this title seems very Denglish-ey to me. Is this phrasing valid in English? It seems like the object of 'to make' is necessary and missing, whereas in German it is perfectly normal and correct to phrase things

Several areas, but mostly Northern Germany. It's also quite common in movies/TVs, so I think it's quite widespread.

In Germany, people say "Na?" or "Na du?" to which the other person usually responds the same. It's not easy to translate but I think it's quite similar to the greetings mentioned above. Literally it's some

by matt-snider 8y ago
But the above commenter is saying it doesn't translate 'literally' to that, but rather, that is the equivalent meaning. The 'literal translation' would be translating word-by-word, which by definition isn't g

Yah I'd be interested to know this as well

It's really interesting reading up on etymologies like that - thanks for the link! This is what I meant about the meaning being obscured too much, so it has to be simply memorized as one chunk.

While you are correct to some extent, I do find German to be much more consistent in this regard. In many cases this may just be due to English's distance from it's root (i.e. Latin, French). As it was pointed out below, "syn

German just has a real knack for clarity and simplicity because of this composibility. Some examples I like: - Satzbau = Syntax: I always found it hard to remember what syntax meant. The German word, being the combination of "sentence&

Love this book. The prologue is one of my favourite beginnings to a book and hints at how epic/vast the book's universe is: > The manhunt extended across more than one hundred light-years and eight centuries. It had always been

You don't seem to get it. These sorts of things are all examples of verifiable facts. Calendar calculations are trivial to verify with a computer, and news archives existed long before iPhones and ubiquitous internet access. You don&#x
