Can I easily use this to replace zotero, jabref, mendeley etc for citation management?

Nope.
Does this also happen with Office on MacOS?
Re:LineageOS 16.0 on Friday March 01, 2019 @04:01AM (#19278947)
I put lineageos onto several devices in the past year and they exhibited some mysterious slowness and reduced battery time. I checked everything I could imagine, CPU usage, I/O, but nothing was significant enough to explain this. I love lineageos, what can I do to find out what strains and drains my hardware?

Oh oops! I bought it to support the developer and never even noticed that. Thanks!

Low quality listicle SEO spam for their 'courses'. Submitter is abusing HN to spam nothing but links to their site.

Please avoid giving this kind of noise any attention or links.

I can highly recommend NetGuard on android, it's non-root and free software.

I wish there was a system that lets me whitelist specific hosts per app.

"At all" is a very strong wording. Do you really not think that appropriate compensation is all that's needed for this approach to make perfect sense?

Or include the position and orientation of the images' cameras and do a traditional photogrammetric bundle adjustment.
Re:Finding Lena Forsen, the Patron Saint of JPEGs on Sunday February 17, 2019 @06:45AM (#19183974)
Sorry, second language English here. I thought it was obvious what I meant. é is very close in appearance and sound to e compared to some Hebrew(?) or Chinese.
Re:Finding Lena Forsen, the Patron Saint of JPEGs on Sunday February 17, 2019 @03:31AM (#19183346)
It is also natural to be attracted to sweet pictures of the other sex. But this whole article pushes the mindset that this is not ok. So I would argue that ignorance of proper spellings (in the same alphabet! Your examples are misleading) marginalizes them.
Re:Finding Lena Forsen, the Patron Saint of JPEGs on Sunday February 17, 2019 @03:27AM (#19183337)
I too found that irritating. Especially since the deliberate misspelling of her name as 'Lenna' in Playboy.was explicitly mentioned.
Nobody owes you anything either. I don't like your opinion. Your internet access will be cut tomorrow. Apple and Google ban you from using their phones. You are welcome to create, manage and host your own infrastructure though. Good luck!

Oh wait, most of the AS around you also prefer not to route your traffic. And your domain? Nah, DNS is also at their providers' whim and you are on a very popular blacklist.

Especially since software UX has not become significantly better as a result.

The last lines would have sufficed then! ;)

Thanks for your wonderful software BTW!

FYI this comment comes across as very unnatural marketing through 'community engagement', hijacking the top comment. This is HN not some business Bros you can lull to market with 'journey' fluff. Please don't abuse HN.

And to remove any mystique, this mostly does so by parallelising things to all CPU cores.
Friendship strengthen through casual contact. A social network websites gives us that. You can casually take part and share every day life.

Which means there is a third party eavesdropping on chat.
That analogy makes no sense.
Me neither, maybe it is a cultural US thing?
Yes, it is. Language is a funny thing that overrules pedantic miniscule minorities.
Re:Syncthing graduation day on Sunday January 06, 2019 @05:50AM (#18837695)
How could inotity notice that though? Bit rot happens at a different level. Detecting it would require regular full data scans, right? And then I guess all files must be write-protected to actually trigger a conflict instead of syncing the corruption. Hmmmmm.

Re:German politicians targeted in mass data attack on Friday January 04, 2019 @11:34AM (#18825273)
> Now, plagiarism is a serious issue, but these politicians were not “faking” their academic records.

'Faking' is a word not even strong enough. Those people acquired titles by fraud and deception.

While this is the right thing to do, be careful. I am sure that there is copyright on the digital files themselves. Similar to the disregard for human culture that museums showed when trying to prevent third-reproductions of their catalog images and else.

They could, but Apple did not release one.
Re:The GPS wars have begun on Sunday December 23, 2018 @07:09AM (#18745670)
On android there are countless apps that show you the satellites currently received, I guess there are similar apps for iphones as well.
Re:The GPS wars have begun on Sunday December 23, 2018 @06:11AM (#18745500)
What do you want to know? Basically it's just another set of GNSS satellites that devices can use for positioning, if their chipset supports it. Customers benefit greatly from this.
