This is perhaps only tangentially related, but I used to live next to castle ruins in the UK. Although they were ruins, the grounds still belonged to the crown. There was a thriving rabbit population there, and it was forbidden to hunt on r

I routinely work with people using screen readers and for whom plain text email is perfect, while HTML email is a minefield of unreadability. It's worse that different email providers use different, inconsistent, and variable HTML form

That's pleasant. At one point it was approximately one half-screen away in lag (at 125 wpm or so). But this gave an additional impression of zooming.

The top image is an excellent choice of image. Perhaps I've become too used to seeing a random visually appealing SVG at the top of articles --- but the top image here shows two laptops forming an obviously shared desktop.

How do you like working from a WeWork? Do you find that there is any community there, or is it just a nice place that isn't your home to work?

When you read "instance", think "email provider". Does it really matter if you use gmail or yahoo or protonmail or anything else? In some ways yes, but in many ways no. You can read emails from any other email provider.

In the opening paragraphs, this post indicates that this other post of David Vujuc [1] falls victim to common misconceptions about what a REPL is. I'm not sure what misconceptions this post is referring to; perhaps I also have these mi

If they got rid of outlook, then I'd have to find a new email address to give away to every signin place that wants my email and I suspect will email me promotional garbage (or sell my email). I guess this means that I'm reducing

This seems to hold pretty well. I've been using vim for approximately 15 years now too and my current setup and preferences are surprisingly similar to those in this post. There is a certain organizational aspect here that I think is i

I love man pages. But it took me many years before I realized how easy it is to write man pages for tools that I write (and further, I write in markdown and pandoc happily translates them to troff for me). A few years ago I learned that one

This website began as an online copy of Abramowitz and Stegun's book [1]. It's not hard to find high quality downloads of that book, e.g. [2]. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abramowitz_and_Stegun [2]: ht

I wish that google would enable quote search functionality for youtube too. That is, if I put quotes around a youtube search, then it will only return results containing that in the title or description, and not show related videos or any

Several years ago I built a chess engine in C, based on various ideas gleaned from the chessprogramming wiki [1]. I haven't looked at in a while, but that wiki was an extraordinarily useful resource. I didn't write a better stockf

This is really wonderful. And I like how simple and clean the pages look, even through markdown+github. Cheers.

I write a lot of LaTeX and articles. I sort of do this, except that I also really want reasonable line lengths. Each sentence starts on its own line, but I also hard wrap at 80 characters. I have a completely different set of editing tidb

I guess. I've used the same xmpp integration for almost 15 years now. I remember thinking it was going to stop working at some point in the past, but it kept on chugging. I think maybe this time it will really die. Too bad!

I have a few requirements for an email client. My primary email is through the same company I use for webhosting (Opalstack in my case). I'd prefer if other companies didn't read my email, so I don't use gmail/outlook&#x

I haven't looked at that before. But for what it's worth, I confirm that if I navigate to the web app on my phone, navigate to the HTML version, and repeatedly click to ignore gmail's suggestions to use the mobile app, then i

I first began to use K9 when gmail's android app stopped allowing me to send plaintext email. I still find this very confusing. I routinely write emails to a developer using an ereader, for whom plaintext emails are trivially easy to w

Having written this, I am actually completely incapable of retrieving the page number over dbus. (As you had mentioned). I'm a bit surprised that forward and reverse search can still be done.

On recent-ish versions of evince it is possible to do a bit more via dbus. For example, forward and reverse synctex search between evince and vim over dbus is done at [1]. I use this when I use evince, but I acknowledge that it has stupid f

As an aside (if the author happens to read this), I would happily subscribe to an RSS or atom feed for this site, but I don't see one.

This is an advertisement for Authorea (which I'd never heard of). I extract two passages that stand out to me. > What is the single most important factor that has prevented the arXiv to quickly innovate? We believe it is LaTeX. The

I'm impressed at the relatively high efficiency of the system. Pedalling at 150 watts and recovering 100 watts of electricity is higher than I would have expected from such a simple system. I'm very curious how much better the sys
