It may not be Obsidian's fault, but I know people who were indeed surprised. And are you suggesting that people normally click the license page?

yup, unlike the name implies, it does not only do the golden ratio (1.618:1) Though now I also found https://git.sr.ht/~wklew/golden

Besides, you still have to set your terminal to use that font. Not as if typing `spf` on the command line can reconfigure whichever terminal you are on.

When you use EXWM (Emacs X Window Manager), this is actually a blessing! It means you can bind Super keys only in Emacs and have them do exactly the same thing every time, while the other X apps (terminals, browsers...) get the Control key

I don't know about Charm so maybe someone can check their Github, but there's a dark pattern where you market yourself as open source but not all your components are actually released to the public, so you have a nice GitHub icon

Or even provide superfile as an alias which prints a message saying "you can also call it as spf", once a day. People don't read install sections.

Excellent point about linear, but sometimes log_10 accelerates pointlessly fast. log_2 might be more reasonable.

What's toxic food and how do you make it? That's the point of this thread...

"80 column monochrome ASCII only" Mmm... Paradise

It's not as if the "stochastic methodology" will be part of the theory once it is found. It's just to search for a theory.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you extract a capture group (^foo$), you would get "foo" without the "\n", right? If so, it is not "matching the end of a string" at all. Just end of line. That's exact

To say nothing of road and rail! It makes sense in a road map that you keep in your car, but you don't need to know where the roads are otherwise. Blots out so much other possible info.

An error-correction code inside the ID?! I love it.

How about when you long-tap on a touchscreen and it automatically selects the whole word? Double-clicking is just one aspect of the wider principle, that is you make life easier for heuristics of all kinds.

So yea, this lets you equate standing on the surface of a given star of X radius, with hovering the same X distance away from a neutron star or black hole of the same mass. The takeaway is that the cellophane dimple is more warped around th

I'm guessing you notice it more in some use-cases. Can anyone chime in with an example?

That part, I do not get. Do they mean it permits a rewrite? But all sentences do.

"They merged the pull request" sounds fine to me.

Your term may not map cleanly to a single OOP class, and it may also be used in other function/variable names. There's also how you will express yourself in the code comments. I mean, I'm guessing the dictionary is not just

Venmo and Uber are also episodic. Personally I'd lump D and E into a big folder, no need to constantly be reinstalling the same thing.

Yea, oddly I click more links in the comments than the original link! It's not only what naravara points out, that Web 2.0 trained us to avoid clicking links ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39942472 ), especially

Look where? EDIT: Ah, in the OP.

Sounds like DRY run amok indeed. Maybe a compiler or linter could detect these cases and complain "this function is only called from one place" :)

by medstrom 3y ago
I can understand the frustration when those small functions are not well-named, so you have to inspect what they do.

LP?

But there aren't that many people who do, at all, which was sort of OP's point.
