I love having a variety of these types of sites available for a new language. Different learners will react well to different styles. My personal favorite is AWK in 20 Minutes: http://ferd.ca/awk-in-20-minutes.html
Last I checked the formatting results of toLocaleString differ between browsers and NPM for certain locales. A quick search finds a handful of issues on Github about it, but I'm pretty sure there's a more in-depth stack overflow discussion too. I'm not sure if this will all be superseeded by the new date handling proposals or not, but it's something to be wary of.
(The article sums up a lot of this, but the actual website is more misleading)
I went through and clicked on the about page. The books aren't sold through local book stores. It's a front for Ingram, which handles the orders. The local bookstores that sign up as affiliates get a percentage of the sale, basically as referrers.
I'd love to see this as a search-model that drives to the actual stores, but it seems that would be much more difficult to implement with arbitrary stocking information. In its current state the site represents itself as a method of shopping local, borrowing its respectability from the local stores.
It turns out the key for me was that my mic requires phantom power and that the Fethead blocks it from reaching the mic. There are apparently some versions of the Fethead that allow pass-through of phantom power, but not the one I tried. I guess I'm stuck with the gain from the mic & the 2i2 as-is.
I was a bit surprised to see the recommendation of another inline preamp in the chain with the Focusrite. He recommends a TRITON AUDIO FetHead Filter in-Line Microphone Preamp. Does anyone have further experience with this setup? I've been using my MXL Mics 770 Cardioid Condenser Microphone with a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 with nothing in-between. I know I've got the gain dialed up pretty high but it never occurred to me to put something else in between them. I'd love to hear your experiences and recommendations. Is an in-line preamp worth it?
I was refering to plain text as the interface to the machine, not the file formats. When your primary interface is through text, it makes sense that good tooling would develop.
I think you're referring to my book data? It's all from Goodreads export, not hand entered. I love my compose key and will get around to cleaning this up.
I couldn't find much more, which is why I decided to write this intro. I may do a video exploration of the various tools and features as well. It seems like others are as excited by this as I am.
I use between 4 & 6 primary email "blocks" with each using several hundred aliases. I keep access to most, but not all of these blocks in Thunderbird on my two laptops. One of the email accounts I only access from a dedicated device while VPN'd. I fetch mail over POP3, wiping the server data, and then move the files to an airgapped machine to read. I have a Protonmail & Tutonota account which I connect to via their apps or websites. I also maintain several small public access servers which handle mail. I use Alpine for that, or Mutt in a pinch.
Friends get one email address from one domain. Work gets aliases from a second domain. Businesses get an alias from a third domain. These are either whitelisted domains where any address will get to me, or I can create the alias on the fly in the moment. I like to know not only if a mailbox is getting spam so I can block the alias, but also so I can stop doing business with companies that sell my data (looking at you, Bank of America).
I'm on IRC constantly via Weechat on a VPS and Weechat-Android connecting my phone.
Servers I use:
irc.tilde.chat
irc.sdf.org
irc.freenode.net
and a few others here and there.
There's a huge amount of IRC usage in the wild still. Major projects use it, like the web-extensions project. Hobbiests have servers and channels gallore. Every programming language has a presence. There's so much to see and explore.
