Drag and drop? At least that’s only using a pointer device without modifier key…

I have something similar, but with traefik instead of nginx. Traefik integrates very nicely with docker using labels, such that the labels configure e.g. domain, path, http-auth etc for the web service running in a container.

Some more points, collaboration using e.g. git and its ecosystem, a representation that does not force you to use proprietary software (not sure about libre office for formulae), the ability to easily produce tex files by other scripts, e.g. to compile maths exercises from a set of templates.

Preview is one of my most loved pdf viewers, next to skim for latex writing.

I often have pdfs from my scanner which I want to join into a single document or remove back sides which accidentally got picked up by the duplex scan. It's so easy with preview; if only it could do ocr...

With that in mind, is this criticism of the Java hello world valid? Its output abstracts more than stdout and maybe in Windows this but would not occur. (I don't know, just discussing)

I managed to get a part of my family to Threema. Just the part of "you are paying for the product, thus you are not the product yourselves" was reasonable enough.

In my friends circle we are all on telegram (after trying wire which is just buggy as hell), but I think this is mainly due to its multi device story and then fact that it is not WhatsApp.

Is 7zip really a good format for sharing data? I also use the program for unpacking and I like the context menu integration. However when I send files, I prefer zip because I feel like this is easiest for the recipient to open (no matter if they are using windows, linux, osx, Android...).

The oven in my apartment doesn't even have knobs, but only touch surface controls. It is so annoying as I cannot quickly set it to one of the three programs I normally use, and holding the "up" button for selecting the temperature is also not working well. Especially since the thing gets harder to control the dirtier my fingers are, and that just naturally happens when preparing a meal.

SQL is then the programming language. I am aware that this differentiation is outdated; but if one sees a scripting language as something to write a small, self-contained job and a programming language something bigger more thought through and interoperable, (and with a fair bit of hand waving), I think that analogy fits.

Of course here we do not only have a program but tabular data and operations on them.

Several years with help of volunteers. There's also a bunch of people writing subtitles for the recorded talks; live streams are automatically subtitles nowadays. Some years ago we would even do manual subtitles for live talks.
