Engineer and coder that likes memes.

  • You can do the woods response, whereas both queens will choose the bears to go into the woods with them rather than any male pieces. This leaves black without any frontline but also sacrifices both queens.

  • Yeah, and now we have the party of conservatives that never lead any positive change, the fossilised socialists that kinda forgot they're supposed to make stuff better for non-business owners and the "modern" economists that want to privatise everything.

    Idk guys, but the choices here currently are between a new hitler or the same shit that caused the rise of our new hitler in the first place.

    The only sane person in our government is our federal president, which is soon up for election again, where the far right will have a good chance of winning, because people here are mostly misinformed and full of hate.

  • I don't necessarily like a few takes in the comments here.

    Vibes wise the Obsidian team seems to be great and they don't seem to have shown any reason why I should distrust them. I love FOSS but gifting others my work doesn't put food on my table, so in that sense they need to have a lucrative business model which they seem to have established.

    I could use SyncThing, Git or other solutions to do synchronisation between my devices but I choose to buy their Sync offer, since I want to support them (they also have EU servers, which need to be GDPR compliant by law afaik).

    The closest comparison I could make is NextCloud. NextCloud open sources their software, but they sell convenience. Sure, you could self host it, but paying them to do so for you may be more attractive. In comparison Obsidian is not really complicated to set up or maintain. It's literally just a MD-editor. So the only convenient thing to sell is synchronisation if you don't want to put a price tag on the software.

    If they open source all their code, some tech wizard will implement a self hosted obsidian sync server with the same convenience as theirs in a day, and the company will lose their revenue stream.

    We've all been burned by tech bros in one way or another, but I think it's ok for people to profit off of their IP. And they seem to be doing so with a positive vision. Feel free to let me eat my words if they ever go rogue, but that's my 2 cents.

  • That's sad.

    If the negative for more speed is errors, then you're not faster.

  • Yes, because the hard thing about writing papers is the actual writing.

    Jokes aside, of course I can just write whatever, but if I don't have any actual research to write about, all of those 4000 words I write a day are just filler that will get deleted after someone remotely intelligent reviews it.

    Academia is not fun 😂

  • Here you go:

  • Good luck with the project.

    I want to request a not-feature: One time I extracted an archive with an odd command that ended up dumping all its contents without directories straight into the base folder of the archive without a way to undo that. Please don't make that possible with your tool. 😂

    I had to manually clean up the directory.

  • I wonder what the initial idea behind the rook was.

    Was it always a literal tower that just squashed you?

  • Agreed. It's really shit for new code, but if I'm writing glue code stuff or repetitive code it saves a lot of time spent on typing.

  • Fwoosh.

    I wanted to make the same joke.

  • Going to concerts with earplugs is great.

    Even if the music is loud I can always hear the people next to me and the music still sounds good.

  • It's so christians can eat bees during fasting. duh.

  • While he advocates for it, that's also a point that Martin brings up multiple times when he talks about his project "fitnesse".

    Basically saying that they left it open how stuff can be saved, but the need has never arisen to actually pivot to a different system.

  • My favorite reference

  • Introducing a Captcha on a form on my website basically blocked bots 100% of the time. It's arguably good enough from a practical standpoint.

    If someone really wants to exploit my site, then they will find a way. You can only make it harder but never truly impossible if you don't want to dispose of all convenience.

  • Jump
  • My point is sematics.

    You can style your whole webpage with divs, but using main, nav, footer or whatever blocks is semantically more correct, because you group elements together that have a certain purpose.

    A HTML Tag in the middle of a sentence is not wrong per se, but when parsing it a line break could signify two sentences where one has missing punctuation, instead of a complete sentence as your original intention was.

    I don't really care how the design you want is achieved to be honest, but I don't get why the prof didn't argue against.
