Sounds like it may eventually turn into an interesting replacement for Pandoc then, but I will stick to the latter for now.
Teams refused to let me copy text from the real-time captions, even showing a popup to say it wasn't allowed. But after the meeting in the posted transcript I could copy the same text anyway so not sure why it was so…
What I like about seeing a project support a long list of totally irrelevant old obscure platforms (like Free Pascal does, and probably GCC) is that it gives some hope that they will support some future obscure platform…
SailfishOS also came (at least back in the day of the first Jolla Phone and Tablet) with an excellent terminal app and built-in sshd that made it work great with pretty much every Linux command-line and TUI application…
My next phone will almost certainly be two phones. One cheap and super standard Android phone to just run banking apps and similar that insists on Google Play etc. Locked down and boring, turned off most of the time.…
It was running on Hetzner, but I did not like the idea of having to rely on some script to try to avoid a disaster as opposed to just be able to set a limit (that they do not support?). * Even if the risk is obviously…
Also some XML parsers I used choked on UTF-8 BOMs. Not sure if valid XML is allowed to have anything other than clean ASCII in the first few characters before declaring what the encoding is?
Good thing about Markdown is that the lack of a proper spec means you can pick one you like (when possible). Pandoc for instance treats input Markdown line-breaks in a sane way, allowing semantic breaks to not affect…
There is a binary of the original 1989 Animator (but compiled around 2010 from BSD-licensed source code I think) here if you want to try it: https://github.com/AnimatorPro/Animator-Pro/tree/f5ed3/bin/d... I am sure it…
Vanilla CDDA has a lot of entertaining endings, proper or not. I tend to find one within the first one or two in-game days. Great game! I like to install it now and then just to marvel at all the new things that have…
I was never part of the scene, but I did write code for a couple of demos and had friends in various groups. I just wasn't much interested in making non-games, and no one I knew were interested in making games. Made me…
I want this to be true, but I do not know who this Aaron guy is and I do not have the time or skills to check the sources. Not sure what to do about that. Wait and see if this is something I see bubble up as some kind…
An unexpected side-effect for me after I started subscribing to Kagi a few months ago, at a low tier with limited searches, is that I made sure to configure all my browsers with keywords for Wikipedia searches and I use…
I said "as much sense", not "more". I am just not used to a language that makes the distinction. Doesn't seem perfectly consistent in English either. When there is a "wagon train" in a Western movie it is often full of…
Absolutely necessary in a solo project, but in a team it is enough if a few members, or really only the leader, is good at that (as long as the leader is somewhat competent and has some cat-herding skills to keep…
I configured Firefox to only ever auto-complete to bookmarks or open tabs, never some random thing from my browser history. That also makes it very easy to find specific pages and I do not have to memorize any tags.
Scrapbook was (is?) great, since it does everything bookmarks do plus saves a copy of the page just the way it currently looks and makes that available in the browser. I switched to saving pages using SinglePage…
I tried to make some LLMs write (GW-)BASIC and they failed miserably. Maybe they were only trained on some modern BASIC that doesn't look like BASIC at all? Could not convince them to use line numbers at all. Maybe with…
FreePascal, that I believe is supposed to be reasonably Delphi compatible, supports "Intel x86 (16 and 32 bit), AMD64/x86-64, PowerPC, PowerPC64, SPARC, SPARC64, ARM, AArch64, MIPS, Motorola 68k, AVR, and the JVM.…
I was an undergraduate (computer) engineer student, but like many of my friends at that time (dot-com boom) I did not graduate since it was too tempting to get a job and get well paid instead. However many, probably…
What bothered me for a long time with code reviews is that almost all useful things they catch (i.e. not nit-picking about subjective minor things that doesn't really matter) are much too late in the process. Not rarely…
I kind of agree and see what you mean, but what I described happen often that I forget where I came from and have no idea that the PDF I read was opened from some other app. It's part of what I mentioned in another…
Uh. I used Android for 15 years and I still keep guessing wrong what the back button will do. Feels like 75% of the time it does not lead me back to what I expect and all apps have different ideas what they think it…
Microsoft included almost a full 1988 toolchain (masm, C, make, etc) in their MIT licensed MSDOS repo last year: https://github.com/microsoft/MS-DOS/tree/main/v4.0/src/TOOLS There is no source code, but at least the…
GOG used to have a small selection of DRM-free movies that you could buy to download and that would then make all those things possible to do in a way that would be legal or at least able to do locally in a way that…
