Completely agree - being outside academia has apparently made me ignorant to a lot of the pitfalls to actually posting said solutions.

Makes perfect sense when put this way.

I also really appreciate the response from the author. I forget the gurus behind books like this often have a presence here on HN.

As a non-seasoned complete outsider, I thought this part of the article was somehow being dryly facetious or sarcastic or something. Kinda good to have somebody to provide context, actually.

> Please do not ask me for solutions to the exercises. Even if you are [an] instructor, I will say no.

That's kind of a bummer. I like to be able to check my answers when teaching myself things.

Am I somehow alone in that?

For a moment I was briefly surprised, but then I remembered the company in question. No way that was accidental.

"Scholarly consensus" != authorship. Everyone had a scribe actually do the writing in that day anyway is my understanding.

Is there a symbol for the squiggly equals sign?

Anyone know of any commercial solutions for this that don't involve e.g. having to disassemble the book and feed in a stack of pages? Ideally something on Amazon but "prosumer" lever stuff is good too.

I would love to have digital backups of my library and personal notebooks.

Couldn't find any mention of a 3rd party security assessment? Open source doesn't necessarily guarantee security though I'm really glad to see this is open source.

Given macOS's security track record - especially with High Sierra - and how particularly verbose Mach-O binaries tend to be, I'd be kinda worried about something relying so heavily on proprietary APIs (and potentially the system keystore?) Though I'm sure using Keepass with Mono (that the Macpass site lightly implies is the only Keepass macOS alternative) isn't exactly an impenetrable fortress either haha

Got that Hopper license around here somewhere...

I daily use the exact same setup for all three, but with the Android equivalent.

...so it's not like this app is unheard of, per this thread's parent comment. Super odd that they didn't include it haha

Didn't Portlandia do this a few seasons ago?

I (used to?) own a student license for Parallels Desktop circa 2012, though it may have expired by now.

In my experience, I could see no major differences between their solution and, say, Virtualbox. There were some Mac-specific features like working well with Exposé when in Seamless mode and a few other UI niceties, but Parallels seems primarily geared towards supporting Windows. Linux Guest OS support of features like Seamless mode refused to work unless you had specific kernel versions and was always several versions behind in my experience. I'm sure the feature parity gap between Virtualbox and Parallels Desktop is even smaller today than it used to be.

The pricetag is usually less for Parallels products compared to the leading commercial competitor, FWIW.

Beat me to the comment.

Appreciate the clarification. Almost picked it up from context, but was still a little curious (searching the internet for an contextual acronym is never efficient)

I remember seeing a similar, slightly-less-semantically-awkward title being posted recently.

Something along the lines of "Not Exercising just as bad for you as Smoking"

Please avoid posting unsubstantiative or potential "flame baiting" content to HN per the guidelines.

Still wouldn't stop 1x1 pixel image tracking, which I can only assume they're doing alongside other cookie syncing techniques.

Anyone looked into potential privacy implications? I understand my current carrier can potentially deduce things about my habits in the unlikely event that they were so inclined, but Alphabet et al seem to make a not insignificant portion of their profit from data gathering - that is, they don't need to be interesting in me particularly to sell data about me to those that are (whether for benign ad targeting or something more nefarious)

I don't mean to seem paranoid, but with the current hype around Google's tumultuous relationship with "Don't be evil", I'm not sure I want them having that data on me too.

This does kinda sound like something off the Dollar Menu, though.

I believe the thing you're missing is known colloquially as 'antivirus'

I'd really like to see this technique applied to remastering e.g. songs from vinyl records.

Similar to that project to colorize old photos with a GAN, but in audio form. [1]
