Very well, then. Thanks for taking the time to respond anyway and for making thoughtful comments on your use case of org-mode, I appreciate your comments a lot!

Would you be so kind as to share this Python script? I'd be happy to give it a shot^^

You didn't reply under my thread, but I'm glad I saw your post anyway. What I meant is this: I do have a paperless workflow and used to have thousands of Evernote notes with meeting minutes, scans of paper, etc. Whilst this is wor

This is a very good question! When you come up with a great answer, shoot me a mail! I actually moved everything that is important for the very long time by hand and started creating everything that's new in org-mode. So, yeah, there&#

This is a rather neat hack, kudos! You've got the syntax highlighting and collapsing which are two important features for such a system. org-mode is a little more, though. Say, you have lots of todos with schedules and deadlines, how d

This is exactly why I moved from Evernote to org-mode. I've been a paying user for years with thousands of notes - also important legal documents. Right now, the experience was pretty good, but how will it be in 10-40 years? I'm n

I've switched to Emacs after 14 years of Vim (with the required evangelism^^). Initially it was because of Clojure, but then I tried org-mode. Now my GTD Setup (formerly Things.app), Notes for everything (formerly Evernote), Time Track

Well, I run my own companies, so I like the cutting edge - and we are using Clojure. A good friend of mine works for one of those big consultancies, however, and they are currently rewriting the backend of the second biggest online retailer

If you want to compare Lisp Live Coding and you know Python, then let me compare it like this: How much faster can you get things done using something like ipython vs. a compiled static language like C(++/#) or Java? I don't want

I'm a long time user of a similar tool called Divvy[1]. However both these tools are _not_ tiling window managers. They help us scale Windows manually by providing customizable shortcuts. A tiling window manager would take care of that

Thanks a bunch! I did hope so, too. Specifically for re:publica, we're hooked to a JSON API and are pulling the sessions hourly. There's still a lot of change going on (which is common for conferences that size, of course). Here&#

Shameless plug: We are streaming the biggest Social Media conference (re:publica 15) of Europe next week. There's going to be >450 free live streams with all talks being instantly archived when they are done. The talks include all t

Well, the HN guidelines[1] do not mention any rule as what constitutes 'right' voting criteria. As a regular HN user of over 6 years it feels even surreal to be in a discussion about the basic features of this wonderful platform.

Myself being an Apple user, I find this a rather intesting way of leveraging existing marketing methodologies in a completely different context. Happy hacking, Ikea!

Thank you for your feedback. I apologise, because I came over as cocky. I did make that statement to emphasise that the content has some base; I explicitly didn't mention which company or any other credentials on my behalf. I could hav

The OP mentioned that he _had_ to buy the AppStore version. That was back when 1Password switched from v3 to v4. Then, they also disabled the legacy Dropbox support. They made that very transparent and also wrote[1] about it on their blog.

It's a classic MITM which includes switching of the SSL certificate. In regular browsers the user would need either to confirm that they know what they are doing (Firefox) or not get to the page at all (Chrome). I'm not an iOS dev

It is back in the new version, yes. But not anymore with the deprecated API from Dropbox. When you were a user of 1Password v3, they made that very transparent and also wrote[1] about it on their blog. Also note that 1Password needs you to

I'm not saying security is not an important issue. Inherently it is. The problem is that Apple is using the industry standard for encryption here (SSL). China cracks that security by giving their folks a browser that allows them to eas
