I'm surprised to see the properties I'm most interested in neither in these tests nor in plutoprints supported css. I'm talking about `text-wrap: pretty` (potentially avoid rivers and orpahns, depending on implementation), `orphans`, `widows` and the various `break-`.

I love that Jabref supports working with multiple libraries (having multiple open the same time, moving entries between). Best Zotero could do was restart with difference preference files (has that changed? haven't used it in some time).

And really like that Jabref syncing requires just syncing the library folder. Zotero syncing really nudges you to the paid plan. setting up webdav just isn't as simple and the list of supported providers isn't that long.

It really helped me that the backend is a plain bibtex file. I could resolve issues with it myself. I can also version libraries with git.

One would think. I have yet to find a spreadsheet program that doesn't mimic Excels behavior for automatic conversion up to the point of making it non-optional.

Are the gitjournal files compatible with Github/Gitlab wiki repos?

I have always used the builtin wiki from Github/Gitlab to achieve similar note taking. But attachments and links (to and between folders) are a pain to get right ;) So I'd be interested in an app that helps there.

It's fun once or twice a week. If it happens almost daily (maybe even multiple times a day) it get's much less enjoyable and way harder to meaningful fill with work.

Really interested in such lists. Though this one needs improvement. Just clicked through a bunch that were dated last week - the linked page was dated over a year ago and expired.

I'm on desktop and my machine is struggling to install(?!?) some IDE. So far i'm not sure what I'm (supposed to be) seeing, there doesn't appear to be any explanatory text.

By now I've become so accustomed to just copy the bold text from the line above it and paste, that it doesn't break me out anymore. I know I should concentrate and type it out, but in my head it has just become visual noise and a boring exercise.

Reminds me on the (incorrect) origin story of kangaroo. https://www.woot.com/blog/post/the-debunker-where-does-the-w...

I’m all for TUIs but for me anything that calls itself terminal oriented needs to work at 80ish character line length. It seems that many of the entries (especially the dashboards) need much longer lines to be useful - then sorry this should be a GUI.

I love the lectures, though it would be great to have some practice to go along with them. Are there any open resources or does one need the books?

And don't forget regular cardboard. One can do surprisingly much with that.

That would make it possible to create a program that would check all the passwords in the keychain without sending data over the web. False positives wouldn't be an issue as the user can decide himself if he wants to update. Currently it still is a bit of a big filter to have on a mobile device - wonder how far it could be slimed down and to have just 99% accuracy.

I just wonder how one could create such a program that the users will have some guarantees that it will not leak stuff.

I appreciate your guidance. I don't expect you to debug it.

But it seems to me we were using the term "live" differently. I think I understand now that the code you provide runs the recording on the current machine - similar to a macro. The live mode I was referring from pias takes the recording - but times the keystrokes to what you type during the presentation - so one doesn't need to check. Makes also a nice trick for showing off as one can do fun stuff like type with your feet. Ah I see - they call this "manual typing", and have a "Live Replay" - just as you suggested. So it was me being inprecise - sorry.

You were right the errors I was experiencing had to do with the shell. I use fish - forcing everything to use bash made previous errors disappear. However in my test recording the it got stuck in vim - suppose escape didn't work.

Thanks for the reply. Doesn't happen every day someone answers your sorrows with a two liner. I don't really see at what points it is checking for my pressed keys. I just was able to try your snippet. Unfortunately I do not get it to work - I just end up with lines like `ls: no such file or directory`.

Wow - happens rare but I really can't understand your answer. I never would have guessed jq to have any use for presentation. Can you give a short example how to apply your script.

I just wish they added a "live" presentation feature like the unmaintained "play it again sam" (https://github.com/rfk/playitagainsam) had.

Totally agree. While I learnt a few interesting concepts it doesn't feel lasting to learn isolated concepts.

Personally I would like to have a little orientation system to pick a book to learn and get challenges focusing on the subject to reinforce them.

Lovely reminder. Though nowadays I mostly think that these are also a great coding challenges.

The problem is while presenting my IQ is 20 points lower. I suppose this holds for many people. There are too many presentations on youtube which spend minutes just fixing typos.

I agree a few seem authentic but soon it just feels like a waste of time — and break in the flow of presentation.
