Oh, indeed I can't see any reply other than this one :(

Thanks for the link — that's pretty comprehensive!

Got it, thanks for the context!

Do you have a comparison page, or a list of the annoyances you fixed from PicoCSS, accessible anywhere?

Were you aware of git-bug when you created gitsocial? If so, which patterns did you reuse and which ones did you decide to diverge from? Or would you say the two projects embody fundamentally different visions?

Sounds like a job for a CONTRIBUTING.md :)

They've already started a public repository here: https://github.com/anthropics/skills (It's the last link in the "Getting started" section of the post.)

I get why people may not like the comparison you're making, but that aside, I agree that the article insists uncomfortably often that the freedom only comes if "the work" gets done (in various phrasings). As if to ensure that nobody gets the impression that a pleasant work experience is something anyone deserves rather than a generous gift by such a magnanimous employer.

Extensive discussion on reddit, dating back from the day after the initial announcement date (15 February): https://www.reddit.com/r/github/comments/113dm5v/anyone_get_...

So... was your project one of the 20 accepted ones? I got the email but my project (tldr-pages) wasn't selected.

Doesn't that suggest that tooling wasn't the issue after all?

That's why I prefer outliners. They still provide the sense of an infinitely nestable hierarchy, allow focusing on arbitrary levels of it as a temporary "root" document", and allow collapsing entire trees that are irrelevant for the current work I'm doing. But crucially, if they implement live cloning of subtrees (in Workflowy, for example, these are called "mirrors"), they can also allow a more flexible graph structure as opposed to a strictly hierarchical tree.

Of course, that misses the graphical/spatial aspect of other tools, but as josephg points out, these sometimes backfire without a natural, design-encouraged way to organize the content, and a stable frame reference. I for one don't miss the ability to organize my content spatially, even though I do that when working with physical paper. I think that's because of the limitations of the medium — i.e. I spread paper sheets out on a surface, and spread content within those sheets, because it's the only way to group content in a stable manner. The nesting system performs the same function for me in outliners.

Interesting. Can you share an example of this working?

It's really great to be able to just click a link and start playing with Julia without installing anything! While there are other platforms offering a similar experience, I'm glad Repl.it added Julia to its tool belt.

Just a quick note for the inattentive like me: you have to click the "Run" button before executing the `@enter foo(20)` command.

I found https://giordano.github.io/blog/2017-11-03-rock-paper-scisso... to be a pretty good attempt at that. Of course, the code's elegance will probably not be immediately evident to a beginner, but a link to the full explanation could suffice to complement that.

For context, they mean the live video feed of JuliaCon 2018. Here's where the release was announced: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jN5wKvN-Uk

They're probably mixing it up with Google Buzz.

As I commented recently on a thread about Patuá [on reddit](https://redd.it/7oly3x), the similarities between different patois are striking, even across different source languages.

In this case, you could present that phrase to any Cape Verdean person without the context, and they'd tell you it's definitely Cape Verdean creole (which is also Portuguese-based), if slightly oddly transcribed.

To give you a better idea of the similarities, a native Cape Verdean creole speaker (of the Barlavento dialect) would probably write something like: "Tud óra êl tâ bscá sarna pa coçá." The exact same simplifications of grammar and pronunciation, even though the Portuguese was mixed with completely different languages in each case. How cool is that?

You might want to take a look at https://github.com/kentcdodds/all-contributors :)

It's worth noting that this newcomer friendliness is no accident: building and maintaining a welcoming FOSS community, and doing so at scale, can only be achieved with deliberate efforts.

The video [Rust's Community Automation](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=407nwX6__70) offers an excellent summary of the strategies used in the Rust community to handle the social dynamics so that both contributors and maintainers are able to engage positively and productively, and continue doing so over extended periods of time.

It's definitely something other projects should look at and replicate :)

It would probably make sense to also link to the deletion discussion: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletio...

After reading lots of similar anecdotes about Ed (Steven Levy's "Hackers" dedicates quite a few words to it), I was quite sure it was pretty much unusable for today's UI patterns, but also morbidly curious about how it might eventually work.

Then I came across "Actually using ed"[1], which did such a great job at explaining how to use the tool that I decided to throw in my 2 cents by submitting an entry to the tldr-pages project[2]. The rendered page looks can be found on [3]. Any feedback welcome!

In fact, Flang has now been added: https://mohd-akram.github.io/languages/?source=Fortran

The repository and website should have these criteria mentioned explicitly. I'll probably send a PR to that effect :)

ps - amazing initiative, congrats!

What apps do you recommend for these purposes?

To counter your point, consider the fact that 4K video looks better when downsampled to 1080p than video captured directly in 1080p: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIf9h2Gkm_U -- the mechanism is different for other cases (social media sharing of images, for example), but the principle is the same.

Indeed, there are some differences (https://www.diffchecker.com/tcbbvy7p) with IANA's root domains list: http://www.iana.org/domains/root/db (which only includes TLDs, as the name indicates)

This will probably have at least some links of interest to you: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:HaeB/Timeline_of_distribu...

> Darwin is closer to a standard BSD feel, but most of its userbase is people who came from BSD, so it’s a bit outside the scope of this essay as well.

I'm confused by this sentence. Did you perhaps mean "people who came from OS X"?
