1. Python is slow, therefor we use C extensions. 2. We cannot make Python faster because of C extensions. 3. Go to 1.

>Each new version is scanned, and if it fails to pass review, the plugin is removed from search within 24 hours.

That's heavy handed. Why not allow the previous vetted version to be considered the plugin's latest version?

This is STILL an issue?

While it is satire, it is also appears to be "real satire" as gault8121 has been trying to tell us. ThePrimeagen paid them to do the node package "is-number".

How does Linux have a monoculture? You'd think it is anything but "mono" with all the distros.

I use the Android app DriveSync for syncing files from GDrive. Here's a nice guide: https://www.reddit.com/r/ObsidianMD/comments/1ktk29p/use_dri...

By the way, you can also collab on a vault/folder over GDrive. DriveSync will be able to choose a "Shared with me" folder directly, but on Windows, first go to the web version (drive.google.com) and make a link to the shared folder in your "My Drive". Back in Windows, the link will be in your G:\My Drive folder. You can then mark that folder/link as "available offline" for the best experience. If you open the link in Windows, you'll get the full path to the folder and can then open it as a vault in Obsidian. You should end up with something like G:\.shortcut-targets-by-id\1-BkkGbtKp2342jSMgR7_HdfshNOAG3mg\OurCoolVault

Slightly old news, but I thought this was one of the more interesting posts this year; a reminder they're still kicking, and there have been some more recent posts too.

Why would I know it? It's CSS!

Perhaps another reason for good code being hardly read is that good code doesn't break anything.

Indeed! When there's effort to make proofs or assertions about a program's behaviour before it is executed then good things happen!
