Weirdest comment I've ever seen here.
Pandoc does this very well.

I can empathize. I recently tried to cancel Adobe Indesign. Every human stuck to the same script despite me stating 'no' up front after the first time it offered. They would confirm my intention, then when I stepped away they would cancel the chat because I was 'away' and did not double confirm that I wanted to cancel. That happened to me twice. By the third time, the sandbag was - 'You signed up for a yearly subscription, if you don't take those two free months, you will incur a early cancellation fee.' I never signed up for a yearly subscription and told them 'not accepting that'. As a gesture of 'goodwill' they waived it.

I could not understand all the Adobe hate before, but they made a neutral person negative with that experience.

You're cramming an analogy into your point. Systems like economy and people dont fit into an electrical diagram.
No question. Thanks for thinking of 27B.

Not a huge fan, but their the source of my favorite song about nuclear war, if that were even a genre -

'Samesies' is a viable corpo strategy, right?
Asked what the proper dough-weight for garlic knots:

Open AI: 2 ounces Bard: 2 pounds

Not impressed with Bard at all.

Well this is garbage.
Re:Converting Markdown to ePub or Mobi Using Pandoc on Thursday April 22, 2021 @03:51PM (#26907371)
Do you have any more details about how you integrated Pandoc into your pipeline? A post or something?
Re:Docker in 10 Minutes on Wednesday November 04, 2020 @11:33AM (#24990495)
Question: How do you manage multiple container types (VMWare, Docker) from a single interface? Am I dreaming?

I'm intending on setting up a R Pi 4 as a container for a few smaller projects. Am I shooting myself in the face by using Pi?

Really? This is what you come to comment with? Off topic and unrelated?
Same here, W3 pales in comparison, which is not to denigrate their work. It's been helpful many times.

MDN just has more accessible writing and notes on best practice.

They're 6 months away from becoming a case study in squandering momentum.
Re:25 Years Later, 'Star Wars: Dark Forces' Is a Forgotten Gem on Thursday February 20, 2020 @11:25AM (#22376174)
Who forgot DF? Maybe young'ns too young to remember playing it when it came out.
"free stuff" is a pretty flippant way to describe a social service covered by taxes.
Could have been rewritten as a tweet "Study tells us status quo is untenable"
If an 18 year old is willing to be controlled like this, then perhaps they should be.
Give yourself some credit, you might not use it productively initially, but once that was out of your system...
Re:I used to fear being a nobody, then I left social media on Tuesday October 01, 2019 @12:26PM (#21127289)
Precisely my thought process when giving up FB. Sure I'll miss the timeliness, but when I hear the great news or even bad news, I can be there with my friends to celebrate or empathize in person. Quality over quantity.

Whataboutism.

You sound even-handed.
That isn't a bad idea, but not exactly something drivers can rely on.

Microsoft takes earnest shots at hardware, it might not always work out but I appreciate the effort.

Long live the Zune!

Came here to ask how OpenChirp differs from TTN?

That does, thanks for sharing.

That's a romantic way to look at technical debt! :-P

What do you see as an issue in technical writing, if anything past not concise or well written?
