but as much as i want to agree with the author’s stance:
> [..] no matter how hard these companies try to sell us on AGI or “research” models, you can just laugh until you cry that they really thought they could steal from the well of knowledge and turn around and sell it back to us through SaaS
i feel like at the end, these companies will still win
That's right. The whole thing is open source -- just, since it's hard to make any money from open source, they made the online editor (which is pretty good BTW)
Yup. I use both LaTeX and Typst (although I prefer Typst when possible) and I haven't used anything other than tectonic for the past few years. It simply has everything you need included, and is pretty darn fast too.
To the people worried about their data being sent to google or whatever (I'm not sure what they're actually worried about) -- the extraction of your eyes is done client side, using a seemingly very well made ML model running on Tensorflow which fits in under 15mb.
The feed of your camera is transmitted "directly" to the person you're looking at (well, no, not really directly, it uses WebRTC, so your data passes through Neal's TURN server, but do you really think Neal wants to take care of properly storing your data and handing it off to advertisers?)
I really wouldn't suggest the Elixir + Phoenix stack to someone who doesn't have experience with the Elixir/Erlang ecosystem and functional programming
You can actually self host Supabase, that's really the whole point: a Firebase alternative that you can host yourself. Obviously you can use their hosted service as well.
Not fully related, but I remember looking at a website of some person two or three years ago, who claimed to be one of the original developers of Firefox, and if I'm not mistaken, in some blog post on his website, he said something about not getting the recognition he deserved for his work? and shared some early source code of Firefox.
I cannot find that person or that blog post, anyone know anything about this?
thank you for making this site!
i'm planning on moving to germany after i'm done with my studies and this will be pretty helpful
do you have any other resources helpful for expats? (perhaps something more like adjusting to the social life, meeting people, etc) would sure be helpful to put it there
the second I read it I knew it was Greek
I have actually thought of using the name for an app before years ago, but it never happened as I thought it's... a bit rude?
not sure if this applies when exposing your app to a mostly non-greek audience though
I've heard many stories about him from locals. It appears that he was a vibrant member of the local community. One of Christianopoulos' characteristics was that we was never scared to say his opinion, and he had strong opinions. He also had some interesting opinions about other poets. When asked his opinion about other poets, he'd usually reply with something like "Interesting guy, but meh." He'd have that opinion even for some of the greatest poets. Cavafy is probably excluded though, as he appears to have liked him. In an interview, the interviewer asked him something about the current government. He said, "I don't even know who the current prime minister is." So it appears that he wasn't involved in politics much. Mostly ideologies. (Some of this information may be inaccurate and I very much apologize)
I started using xmake a few days ago. Not sure if I will use it for new projects (due to CMake being the standard) but I definitely want to. The workflow is amazing and super fast. You just run `xmake create` and it creates your project. Then you can just run xmake and boom, it compiles it in an instant, linking dependencies, without needing to create a CMakeLists.txt, adding a submodule for every dependency you use, including your dependency's cmake file, blah blah (xmake has its own xrepo tool which allows for dependency management in a MUCH easier way)
I love suggesting the novel “A concise Chinese-English dictionary for Lovers” as it really shows how people from such different cultures such as the chinese perceive the western world (at least in the first few chapters) (and yes i know the book is about the UK and not the US)
