Also I would argue that you can rather simply write a parser for the basic markdown syntax and convert it to e.g. HTML or plain text if necessary by getting rid of markdown specific syntax.

For me the question would be what to print: do I print "Rawr" for e.g. 105 or do I print "FizzBuzz" now? What do we prioritize? Am I missing something?

I have a serious question: what kind of job is that? Like what is the job description? I‘m currently working in academia in geoinformatics (mostly with image data, json files and data frames in general as well as the occasional Spatialite or Postgres database) and have no idea where I’d end up outside of academia. I don’t know how good my programming skills are, I don’t know what kind of job I could/will get and what life would look like for me outside of academia.

It’s only available in the US. Why is that and are there plans to bring in to Europe?

This looks pretty cool actually. How do you go from having a map of a game to the entire 3D model? Are they publicly available?

Seems like that, yeah. The thing that I’d need, which is what bugs me with teuxdeux as well, is an option to add some notes or more elaborate text on the entries. Sometimes it’s just not enough to have a few words to describe what I want to do. Maybe it’s not the purpose of the app and I’m looking for something else which is already there but my current method is calendar blocking.

What does Chrome do with ctrl+f and why? It’s been widely accepted that it’s used for search so why would you steer away from that?

I also use Mail.app privately but Thunderbird on any Windows or Linux machine I work with. Outlook might look nice, however, I can’t bring myself to spend time to figure out the calendar in Outlook. When Thunderbird was not available, I’ve defaulted to looking up my appointments on Google calendar in the browser because that’s what my team at work is using.

This is valid for the rest of Germany as well. There was a challenge to open a beer with a single piece of paper as well.

Also you can hit the twisties with the motorcycle :) I think both are very different as well for the reasons you have mentioned. I think it depends a lot on where you want to go in what amount of time. On a weekend on the motorcycle you can travel to another country in Europe, on bike it wouldn’t be possible for me because the border is too far away. I believe it’s two different philosophies, for me the motorcycle is the middleground between car and bicycle. Depending on the motorcycle you have a different kind of freedom compared to a car.

Explaining something usually requires a deeper or more complete understanding compared to just doing something. Definitely true in my experience.

I haven’t downloaded anything from YouTube for what feels like forever so I want to ask: isn’t the sound quality mediocre at best?

Outside of that I believe that the convenience is the main driver of using streaming services. If you have a pipeline that does everything automatically it might work I guess.

Usually space isn’t the limiting factor but everything else is but thanks for the heads up

That makes me wonder how I never heard of the integration before. This is going to take away so much pain from my workflow when working on Servers. I’ll take a look at it. Thanks for the explanation!

Can you please elaborate on working remote with ssh? How exactly does it work and what do you do? Are you sshing into a server and work there with your VSCode GUI? I only have connected it to WSL2 yet (by simply calling code from the terminal).

I‘m teaching college students programming and remote sensing with python mainly. It’s giving them the tooling for the rest of their career in my eyes. I try to make methods clear instead of telling them what to copy and paste so they know what to do in case there is no instructor. It’s hard sometimes because programming seems to be scary at first but it’s rewarding if you see them succeed in tasks for example.

Not the guy who you have asked but teaching, in my opinion, has meaning. You are teaching people how to get things done in one way or another. Or you teach a method, convey a message, something along those lines. Outside of that if working e.g. to solve something for a municipality, I think you have a more or less direct impact on peoples lives.

Thanks a lot for answering. I‘m not even sure what to do after the (hopefully successful) PhD so I‘m thankful for every perspective.

How large is the language gap and how difficult is it to work in Japan as someone who, initially, doesn’t speak English?

I think the comparison is not accurate. According to you, the person you are answering to would only have to listen to the song somewhere. In reality, the movie you are mentioning isn’t being shown to him in the cinema (when watching something on YouTube) but instead he is given a CD (or USB stick, …) to put into a CD-drive (or port) in the cinema to start the movie. After the movie is finished, the person watching the movie leaves and the movie stays at the cinema but OP has „infinite“ access to it unless the cinema decides not to show it anymore. However, that’s still not how it works because I’m sure YouTube has some licensing going on.

It really depends. Should it play games? If so, the MB Air is out of the windows. Then I’d try to look at something with a dedicated GPU or something Ryzen. If it should not, I‘d look at used Thinkpads for Windows/Linux or at the M1 for macOS. I think it also depends strongly on what should be developed on the device.

Just like clicking away with a digital camera, bookmarking things don't really come at a cost.

I definitely experience this as well. I think for me personally it's a) an inflow control issue (no real "quality assurance") and b) due to momentary excitement or a specific mood.

It might help to write a note instead of just bookmarking. While bookmarking is free, writing a note is not. You have to think about two sentences that describe what's behind the bookmark.

Outside of that I've decided that I want to have some "static" bookmark folders (with resources like internet shops that I've found with nice things which I check before buying something) as well as a "daily" folder with only a handful sites (e.g. the public domain review or blogs and news sites that I think are worth looking at every once in a while). I have one called "temp" in which I bookmark everything that has a 50/50 chance of ever being read. Once in a while I open all tabs and check if there's something worthwhile, if not, it goes away.

I think it's fine putting movies and books into a list and not wanting to watch them the next time you want to watch something. However, especially with books, most of the time I get one from my list. I curate the books more and I think it's due to the commitment of hours of reading instead of watching a movie for 100 minutes or so.

Apparently "novelty" is a thing as well, just as you describe. It feels like getting "stale" when waiting in a list.

Hopefully there is someone that maybe read a book about the topic and can maybe recommend it and offer more profound insights.

First of all, thanks for answering. And well, crazy that we ended up with interoperability issues after all these years. I wonder when and if we will manage being „fully wireless“ anytime.

This is the first time I’m reading something like this. I‘ll have to look that up since that would explain a lot of what‘s going on in my workspace.

Generally I agree, that's why I try not to lock myself in as well. However, if you use e.g. a eco-system specific markdown editor with a specific feature set or workflow that feels like it's tailored to you and you have the markdown files, I think it's fine since you can take your data with you when you leave.

What is fed up location? Do you mean location written into exif?

Can you explain what makes things worthwhile for you? I’ve taken a look at it but to me it looks like every other todo app out there. I don’t have any specific use case for a to do app other than a chockable list though.

Imagine you’re on a German keyboard and want to switch between Firefox windows. In that case I need to do cmd + shift + ` which need two hands since ` is in the upper right corner. That’s the only use for me: switch between windows of the same app easier.

That’s right but it’s not possible without taking your hand from the mouse since you need to put your fingers on the arrow keys. I know that everyone is rather keyboard-centric on HN but some tasks require mouse usage. Also it’s a simple left hand task on windows, I’d need both hands to reach the same result.

I don’t know why it should be a question of which one to use. Use both because both do different things.
