Can you elaborate? Do you use Virtual Desktop or have something like termux and ssh in to a separate box?
Re:What is the most useful project you have worked on? on Sunday April 07, 2024 @01:06AM (#39958311)
Thanks for your work! I use it everyday and recommend it to everyone who has an interest in better password management.
It is impossible to tell if this is satire or not.
Out of curiosity, how many window managers have you used on Linux? I found some superior choices there but I do agree that Windows is generally ok with Mac being dead last.
I've never tried this myself but you could try importing the CSV in sqlite and then run aggregate queries over it. Does that sound useful?

I imagine the Kobo is high on that list.
Re:The Next Gen Database Servers Powering Let's Encrypt(2021) on Sunday September 17, 2023 @01:52AM (#37541916)
What does one do with all this hardware? I'm quite curious.
I remember that the Google books API didn't return page or word counts. That was the only thing missing so that I could create a book database of things I want to read ordered by size/length/reading time.

What are your favorite ebook readers on Android? I love [Moon+ Reader](https://ab1908.github.io/2022/02/05/moon-reader.html).

How is annotation support on Koreader? Eink devices in general seem to be a hassle to annotate on compared to my phone.

I've wanted SRS features as well but no ebook reader seems to do annotation exports well. I get by with Moon+ Reader and wrote a few Obsidian plugins to help me with parsing exports and generating flashcards. Would love to hear of better approaches.
There's a fella named karlicoss whose work you may want to look into. See: beepb00p.xyz
Re:Ask HN: Any interesting books you have read lately? on Thursday August 17, 2023 @11:11AM (#37162909)
You may want to try converting those questions into byte (heh) sized flashcards and review them from time to time to make sure it sticks. Speaking of which, there's a book called Make It Stick. You might find that interesting as well.

This is one of the kindest comments I've read on any social media site. Thanks for taking the time.
What else were you looking for in dataview? It has a JS API.
Re:Ask HN: Who is hiring? (June 2023) on Friday June 02, 2023 @10:02PM (#36172981)
There's so little there to go off of. Do you have any job descriptions?
Any way to do tap to pay with banking apps? I'm too used to the convenience but trying to be privacy conscious where I can.

I get the point but as a counterpoint, why wouldn't they be?
Re:evidence.dev – Business Intelligence as Code on Thursday April 20, 2023 @06:19PM (#35647285)
Oh, and while we're on the topic, anyone have something like a media database where they record metadata about what they watch and when? I want to create yearly media dashboards and I've run into a few tricky problems around metadata organization. The querying has been easy for the most part.
Re:evidence.dev – Business Intelligence as Code on Thursday April 20, 2023 @06:15PM (#35647220)
Dataview sorely needs maintainers. The author is working on a successor but I still want to use the original one.
It is pretty good. I tried it a few times and there were minor mistakes at best. The Whisper readme itself shows a live transcription use case.
> but people with ADHD don’t generate enough dopamine to stimulate the circuits that regulate emotion. Most people with ADHD therefore experience heightened emotional responses to negative stimuli. This leads to all sorts of problems with relationships and work.

Would you have a citation for this?

What do you use it for?
How do you feel about the new Dune? Curious to hear your thoughts.
Huh, I had friends complain that it was overly long and focused a lot on its setup and setting up bits and pieces like the kids' relationships and the new culture.

$2250 dollars over 45 years sounds pretty good imo but that's just me haha
Re:Show HN: Obsidian Canvas – An infinite space for your ideas on Wednesday December 21, 2022 @02:44AM (#34077798)
Usually, I've had it happen when I try writing stuff on a device that's been offline and I haven't brought it online to pull in the latest changes. We essentially have a merge conflict. Thankfully, they're not a pain to resolve.

Thanks for the heads up

How does one look for these? Looking for junior roles.
What's faster than Obs sync? Genuinely curious since I thought I tried most of the options out there apart from syncthing.
