The next step could be Montblanc ballpoint pens, but that's a very different level where it comes to money; the writing experience is far beyond that of most ballpoint pens at a sub-100-USD range.
Then there's fountain pens, which is a whole new ballpark... If that interests yourself, I recommend these brands: Platinum, LAMY, Pelikan, Sailor, Montblanc, Pilot, and Nakaya, in no particular order.
There's a wonderfully made two-part podcast documentary about Sly Stone and the Family; the documentary focuses on one song but is really a well-told story about the world around Sly Stone: https://500songs.com/podcast/song-175-everyday-people-by-sly...
Sly wasn't just a brilliant performer, singer, and accomplished multi-instrumentalist but a fantastic songwriter and hugely influential producer. He knew his way around music and lost sight of all ways.
I believe this type of 'translation' can't help with learning a language unless the person who's reading already knows a lot of idiomatic expressions, grammar, and knows both English and Swedish on an everyday-conversation level. Let me show you what I mean.
Here's the first paragraph in English:
> The town studio of Signor Jacobelli faced the west. It was situated on the top floor of an old eight-storied building in the West Fifties. Thirty years ago this had been given over entirely to studios, but now it was broken up into a more profitable mêlée of semi-commercial establishments and light-housekeeping apartments.
Here's the first paragraph in the Swedish translation:
> Signor Jacobelli hade en ateljé högst upp i ett gammalt hus med åtta våningar. För trettio år sedan var huset fullt av konstnärer, men nu fanns där både butiker och lägenheter.
I get that the translation is to a 'simplified' version of Swedish; translations of fiction are often restructures of the original language, but this is to a point where one not only needs to know what the words in Swedish mean, but be able to interpret them based on a vast restructure compared with the original.
Compare with a Kagi (DeepL) translation of the text:
> Signor Jacobellis ateljé i staden vette mot väster. Den låg högst upp i ett gammalt åttavåningshus på West Fifties. För trettio år sedan hade detta uteslutande varit ateljéer, men nu var det uppdelat i en mer lönsam blandning av halvkommersiella etablissemang och lägenheter med enklare hushållning.
Kagi maintains the original structure, which makes it far easier to compare words and the original structure.
I could be wrong but to me it seems far easier to learn a language when a translation doesn't come with a vast restructure of the original content.
Agreed. The post is less critique than a weird traipse through the author's head. I can't tell why the post ended up on HN; the post doesn't even contain information on how the author built their new solution.
On the other hand, systems like these might miss out on what users actually need. Diátaxis might work for a long time if technical documentation is only used in a documentation platform. However, if the same information could and should be used in more than one place—for example, in a UI, in a documentation portal, and in a mobile app—there might be need to break up information into smaller pieces in order to assemble them in different ways. This is known as 'content reuse', the practice of using the same content in multiple places. One approach on how to create and edit information for content reuse is described in the 'every page is page one' concept: https://everypageispageone.com/the-book/
If there's resources and time, I always recommend to do UX research at the very start of a project so that one doesn't later feel choked by a severely restricted information model. Nielsen/Norman have done a lot of research in this area and have interesting propositions on how to resolve issues around all of this, for example: https://www.nngroup.com/articles/information-foraging/#toc-w...
I can see, use, and download files that have been uploaded by other users. I recommend to document that any file that is uploaded to the system can be used and downloaded by others.
I've reviewed this book and agree with the Apollo Magazine writer: this book is very sloppily edited. There are better books about Kubrick; I recommend:
Will Standard Notes 'productivity' and/or 'professional' features (as listed on https://standardnotes.com/plans) be available for free to all paying Proton subscribers?
Most importantly: when will paying Proton users be able to start using the productivity/professional features via their Proton subscription? I can't wait, which is why I'm eager to know. :-)
I've waited for Proton to release a feature like this. Finally... I mean, I love Obsidian but it's not encrypted on my devices by default.
I only get 'Error: Internal error while processing request.' when I try to run queries. I tested three different repos, same error message appeared for each repo.
