I have a hard copy of the book though. I couldn't really read, maybe I didn't try harder. English is not my native language.

TLDR; Will get the text, tokenize the words, index against a standard dictionary, go on from there.

Re:Ask HN: Does anyone here not own a phone? on Thursday August 18, 2022 @11:38PM (#32517390)
> Does anyone live without a smartphone?

No, I have another phone (Nokia basic) just to handle calls.

> What does that look like?

It may look like, you are loosing trends and info (FOMO), but you'll be fine in time.

> Do you feel isolated from your friends/family, or do you have some other more traditional way of keeping contact? Do you think it's beneficial to you?

Tell em, that they can reach you on 5PM-6PM [your own time frame].

Re:Ask HN: What do you use VMs for regularly? on Tuesday June 21, 2022 @09:47AM (#31823908)
I use google cloud shell (remote vm or a docker container whatever), it is fast and I can try bunch (most) of things real quick. clone repos, docker-compose up, open web preview. It saves time and keeps local machine clean.

Also I made a script to install a DE and novnc, I can browse in it, and not feel guilty about local firewall.
