adieulot··on Thirty Years of Mac [video]
Same here. Some refreshs did the tricks though.
adieulot··on Ask HN: is bondero.com a weird domain name?
Sounds good enough to me; better than any .net you could find I think.
adieulot··on Hacker News Web App for Mobile
Nice job, though I’d like to see news.ycombinator.com/best included, I only read that. :)
adieulot··on Ask HN: How do you manage your bookmarks?
Here is my method, with just Chrome and a combination of 2–3 organization methods.

I’m tired and not english native so this is poorly written, but it enables me to keep 434 favorites (and growing, I could scale to at least 1500 I’m sure) and not feel overwhelmed by them.

-----

Simple filing from zenhabits’ article: http://zenhabits.net/how-to-create-a-minimalist-computer-exp... I have four folders on my chrome bar, inbox – projects – reading – archives.

--

Inbox is for things that I must take action on, like reading it (but that doesn’t go into Reading because I must read it, unlike things in Reading that are good to read but not mandatory for me).

--

Projects contains links related to the projects I’m currently working on, each project got its own folder.

--

Reading categories from Mark Hurst’s book Bit Literacy: Inside my reading folder, I have:

Stars for blogs (and the like) from which I usually read every article/news.

Scans for blogs/etc. that I enjoy much but have to scan to then decide what I’m reading (HN for example, the other one I have is Quora).

Targets for blogs from my competitor that I want to keep an eye on.

Tryouts for blogs that are good but not good enough that they are on my routine for reading.

For specific articles, they go at the root of Reading.

This is poorly written and I’m sorry, you should check Bit Literacy anyway as it has a lot of info for not feeling overflowed by bits in general (applies whether you’re a newbie or an advanced user).

--

Archives contains links I’ve already read. With inside a folder structure that mimicks the categories on http://personalmba.com/best-business-books (Business Creation, Value-creation/Testing, Marketing, etc…), with two additional folders for Health and Programming.

If it doesn’t have a category, I just put them into Archives.

--

For searching, I use the search bar from the bookmarks manager (Ctrl + Shift + O), it searches inside the title but that’s often enough, if I know the title doesn’t match what I’m looking after I rename the title when I’m adding the favorite.

adieulot··on How to affordably own your office software: LibreOffice
Though I don’t fully trust LibreOffice to be compatible with any Word document, I’ve been impressed with the progress in the last one or two years. Some Word documents with a tad advanced formatting that failed miserably two years ago render perfectly today in LibreOffice.

If you haven’t used LibreOffice for a while, you might be pleasantly surprised.

adieulot··on Hello. I'm a compiler
Yes that’s websockets it seems. Must be quite a overhead, they use it on all answers.
adieulot··on The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius
To add more social proof, it’s also featured on the personal mba (http://personalmba.com/best-business-books), which is a highly curated place.

Tim Ferriss also talks a lot about stoicism on his blog.

When I saw it on the personal mba, saw it with a note of 10/10 in Sivers’s books notes, and understood it was about “the weird thing Tim Ferriss was talking about constantly” I knew this book was worth my attention. I haven’t been disappointed, even without practicing the principles depicted in the book as much as I should it as substantially made my life better.

adieulot··on So you think you can tell Arial from Helvetica?
I noticed that I can do pretty good just by quickly detecting which one is the most unfamiliar font, as I am and always have been on Windows.

Same here, but I'm not going to look for it on Wikipedia
