Totally get what you're saying. I once switched our workflow to trigger on PRs to make testing easier. Now, I'm all about using scripts — they're just simpler to test and fix.

I recommend making these scripts cross-platform for flexibility. Use matrix: and env: to handle it. Go for Perl, JavaScript, or Python over OS shells and put file tasks in scripts to dodge path issues.

I've tried boxing these scripts into steps, but unless they're super generic for everyone, it doesn't seem worth it.

Future Cell Phone

I am worried that Google and Apple hold too much power over user's cell phone. What would be best possible alternative to take back the control?

It is terrible abuse and disgusting. Keep no silence, sue the predator and send him to where he deserve to be.
Re:Ask HN: Best Tools to Visualize Poems on Saturday October 05, 2019 @12:38PM (#21166439)
Visualization of peom is an interesting topic. I would treat them as paintings instead of text analysis.

I would try natural language processing.

The obvious challenges are: 1. Most Chinese stanza have same length of each line, which often sacrifice some elements. 2. Rhyme requirements sometimes reverses the sentence order. As Chinese semantics is loosely related to prepositions.

I believe some inference and tuning are required to detect the subtle sentiments and ambient, create elements and match them with a painting.
