I've heard of https://getleon.ai before, not sure if it fits your needs. A quick browse through their docs suggests that you'd have to write a package for the lights, but it doesn't seem that hard at first glanc

I don't think we need to be this cynical - this could simply be someone who saw the log4j news and was wondering why people use logging nowadays. Which is, incidentally, a question that I also have.

I would strongly suggest Anathem by Neal Stephenson. The book might initially seem to move slow, but trust me, it's worth it. The first half explores an alternate present where monks are primarily mathematicians, the second half expl

I'm not sure this is what you're making it out to be. Russia is one of nine countries that have nuclear weapons, and has one of the two largest stockpiles. For a "world news" site, does it not make sense to focus on this

Paper, meet fire. Seriously, though, there have been a lot of instances throughout history where scrolls and books have been burned at the order of the state. Perhaps the most famous example of this is the burning of the Library of Alexan

Alternatively, the story about a comet strike may have been invented/popularized by the next (the Qing) dynasty to further legitimize their power. It's not preferable to the Ming to blame divine intervention, but it would be pre

Instead of counting, you can use :set relativenumber (vim/neovim builtin) to quickly see how far away lines are. (see https://jeffkreeftmeijer.com/vim-number/ )

Thanks for this tip! I have the opposite problem of GP; I installed Edge, and though it has never been my default browser, it's now the default browser for .html files... This fixed that issue.
