To me, ChatGPT is the most exciting thing that I have come across in a long time. - I can't stop finding use-cases for it. Examples - Want a book summary quickly, without going through dozens of google search results? Try "Summar

Been using Python for over 15 years, and although there are many programming languages that I find way more attractive (Lisps and functional programming languages), I keep sticking with Python, because you can learn it very quickly, you hav

Wow, did not know I could find all of that on that platform. Still, the quality of those videos is rather mediocre, to say the least. - But maybe I'm not the audience of this platform. But at least I now see there is a target group for

But is it really worth anything to have young kids post videos about how good they look or what they eat? Compare this to some really high quality content on youtube.

Absolutely agree. Very confusing to see a folder full of attachments. Ulysses app (another exmple) does this better via textbundle.

Can you elaborate on the syncing part? Last I tried Logseq, syncing across devices via iCloud was very unreliable. So I gave up. Although I would have loved to replace Roam with Logseq back then. Now I stick to Emacs + orgmode and Obsidian

How about Emacs + org-mode? Org-tables are plain text tables on steroids. You can quickly create, rearrange, modify these tables, and do even basic (or complex) calculations within them.

Being able to be anonymous is actually a valuable thing. Think of people in oppressive regimes. I believe we need countermeasures, so we need to create algoriths that add fuzzyness to our writing to protect privacy.

Ruby is a beautiful language, but it lost the race against Python long ago. - When I first looked into both some ten years ago, I was undecided what to choose. But even back then googling problems led to much more professionally written blo

The article left me more confused than enlightened. My understanding is this; Expressions return a value, statements on the other hand are actions, commands, definitions, declarations, assignments, and control structures.

It‘s the same here in Germany. Many „Kneipen“ have closed. I am thinking that low income people cannot afford to pay 3.50 Euros for a beer anymore. Thirty years ago low income meant you were able to go to a kneipe 2-3 times a week and drink

Look at what happens here in Germany. A job portal for students just closed 45million Euros in Feb this year. They have raised 95m in 7 years. Their revenues in 2019 were merely a couple of million Euros. I can only guess their valuation.
