Agreed! I subscribe to a couple serialized novels, and having chapters appear automagically on my ereader is a really nice experience.

Getting things onto the Kobo is handled by Pocket if you go this route, so the challenge becomes to add things to your Pocket account automatically. RSS seems easier than email, but I think it should be doable. Seems like you can forward em

While I use GIMP for 90% of my use cases, it unfortunately cannot do print at all. For that, it seems Photoshop is still what you need (though the Affinity suite is getting close)

Interesting! Acrobat (for preflighting) and Photoshop (for CMYK conversions) are the only reasons I still boot to Windows. Will have to try this out.

I've been doing a similar thing for my Kobo with an ITTT action that fetches RSS feed URLs and adds them to my Pocket account, which automatically syncs. I'm obviously not as in-control as this method, but it's been surprisin

Thanks, that helps!

Really cool! Any indication (in order of magnitude) how expensive the electronics would be to purchase?

Ah, it's a value-add compared to other engines that keep the app in memory, got it!

In that case I think I'm missing the value prop here, doesn't that also hold for plain old php-fpm?

What does it mean to get rid of PSR-7 in today's age? Do people really miss $_GET and $_POST?

The Ares Expedition version of the game does have double-layered player boards, works really well! (I'm not sure how different the player board is to the main game, maybe you could use that?)

We use it in a client-facing application to keep state of a complex configuration, primarily as a means of having a URL-safe way to encode that configuration. It works great, very happy with it.

I don't know if a 3 day trial is a good fit for people with ADHD. On the other hand, a month long trial is problematic for other reasons!

From how they've been talking about Zed (on The Changelog, among other places), I expected to be wowed on my first open of the application, but the experience kind of fell flat for me. I might try it again when they have some better on

Hmm, the process segfaults right after, so I assumed this was the cause. Looking at the output again, I think there's another unrelated issue that happens at the same time, where Vulkan is unable to start due to ERROR_INCOMPATIBLE_DRIV

This certainly doesn't hold for all locales, see de-DE for instance. 123456.789 euros is written as "123.456,79 €"

Thanks for building SumatraPDF! I just switched away from Windows, but I've been a happy user for a very long time, and it's hard to get that mix of user experience just right. Really appreciate your work.

Yes, that can often result in a better-designed refactored version, since you can start with a fully-formed idea!

I really cannot figure out the Bon Appetit site anymore. I subscribe to the magazine, and when I log in it says I'm a current subscriber, but I'm not allowed to read the online articles. Do you just need a separate subscription fo

Nice, those look very interesting! I've been very happy with all of the Kobo's I've had, so I can definitely see myself upgrade to the color Clara when my current one fails.

Congrats on shipping! We built something similar internally. Tweaking it for the right cost/availability/speed was interesting, but we now have it working to where workers are generally spun up from 0 faster than GitHub's own

The whole reason I started the novel was because I listened to The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas on Levar Burton Reads. I'll give the other short fiction a shot, thanks for the suggestions!

I recently read A Wizard of Earthsea, and it took me a really long time to get through. Here's what I noted down after reading it: I can see why (and how) this book is important and good, but it just took me so much active effort to ke

A little off topic, but fun to see that someone else has adopted that magical CSS theme! ( https://css.winterveil.net/ )
