In it's defense, it's epub3 friendly and the majority of the major epub readers are not.

I was able to answer my own question via their Zendesk (from 2016), for those interested. It looks like I just had not come across the issue, but articles were previously not being saved server side with the exception of those manually emailed.

How is permanent archiving different from the existing setup. As far as I understand, Instapaper already saved it's version of the article to your account, and I've never seen it lose anything because of a missing underlying article.
Are you saving the underlying article as pinboard does?
Longtime Instapaper fan here, the parser remains excellent and has kept up with all the newest shenanigans of the web over time much to my delight.
Not unless the average user is particualrly technically savvy and the developers happen to be known to browse HN.
...which I think is actually the case for Fastmail.
This is a really interesting question. I just tried playing with it for a bit, and I was able to approximate this for a fair number of emails (and with a large helping of kludgyness) by sorting the search results by subject which puts no subject emails at the top.
Of course within that pile is down to scanning.
I see why it's tricky since the search is indexed, but it does feel like there might be a way.
Those nags can be moderated or turned off by about:config flags or policy.json lines, I forget which at the moment. They used to drive me insane as well.
If ever there were a food item that needed a "Chilean Sea Bass" style marketing rebranding, its the Chokeberry.
Growing up outside the US, black currant was the third default flavor of ice cream after vanilla and chocolate. Having strawberry fill that role here still seems like a missed opportunity for something slightly more bitter in the lineup of your average tiny one cart ice cream vendor on a beach or similar.
Engineering as a noun versus as a verb really threw me for a loop on this one.
The methodology is cool, the scale of the experiment is very cool (16k meetings), the conclusion is kinda workmanlike - as if the question was specifically 'is shared knowledge necessary to generate new ideas'.
"Overall, this study takes a critical step towards identifying the processes that explain when serendipitous encounters shape knowledge production outcomes among innovating individuals.
We show that brief, information-rich interactions between people with some overlapping knowledge interests can have a productive effect on knowledge transfer, creation and diffusion."
This tertiary point was distracting as well, seems out of place. "Third, we make methodological contributions by highlighting the benefits of long-term studies that amalgamate multiple forms and uses of data. Prospective experiments can support multiple lines of investigation involving both near-term and long-term outcomes that may not be possible in retrospective, archival studies and suggests the use of multiple sources of data for unpacking the dynamics of knowledge production."They have made it clear it is not a focus, and killed features, but that all seemed in the interest of making it something that continued to function without much work on their end. Which seems fair enough.
Believe it or not, Plex. It's a truly mediocre photo organizer, with glaring missing features, but because I already have a Plex server - it's zero marginal work aside from just dropping the photos in a folder on the NAS running it.
I use FileBrowser to autosync the photos off my phone, and family can easily access them because they already know how to use Plex. The fact that there is a client for every device I have ever used is icing on the cake.
If you have a plex server, obviously a very big if, worth investigating just turning it on for a folder of files since it doesnt write to the images itself by default.
Looking forward to seeing more.
Thank you for svgbob, I adore it.
Gnuplot in shell. It's old and finicky, but it works and whatever you want to do, someone has done it before and written it up. Those instructions from 15 years ago will still more or less work as well. I output to SVG as part of website stats tools sometimes, which is handy.
For web I like plotly. Usually I will use the UI tool to make a chart I like, and then just automate the data portion. Same for highcharts. Those UI plot makers are fantastic if you just want to template something.
Try that on mobile with their browser.

There is not. PDF is more ingrained into our tech then ever before. Something like a a quarter or a third of the web is pdfs, it is the default archival format, and the only remotely plausible competitor for the core function of PDF (it more or less looks the same to me as it does to you and you for sure have the software to open it one way or another) is maybe HTML/CSS. There are competitors for the 8,000 other uses of PDFs but only one at a time.
Or make your own, right now, however you like: https://github.com/dohliam/yub. Can't advocate for this wonderful little html file enough.
You would want special head gear in case of over heating, perhaps some kind of low soft felt hat with a curled brim and the crown creased lengthways.
Yunohost is broader, with more selection of packages, and no cost. Cloudron is probably slightly more polished. I've used both and was much happier sticking with yunohost.
Yunohost is a gem. I can't imagine not having it anymore. The built in SSO to stand up any kind of site in seconds with built in user managemnet in particular is tremendous.
Regular updates, security taken seriously, extremely helpful community. All around fantastic.
Yes.
Though to be clear you can do this on any browser now, since PDF.js is the tool which gained this functionality, and is openly distributed and widely used.
That's (50/50) also about the split of global software revenue, maybe a little tilted away from US, but not much. Depending on how you count.

Feed-preview is so helpful, thank you!
Doubled since December, and held there? Unreal.
Maybe [Comskip](https://github.com/erikkaashoek/Comskip) could be used for this, depending on whether or not the hosts are doing the read.
Do you mind sharing how much?
PDF will capture what you see, epub will almost certainly not.
This is excellent news, thank you so much!
For those who don't know - coffee enemas are, sadly, a thing.
