Kirby rocks. It's so much better designed than WordPress.

Audrey Tang did a lot of things related to this whilst they were Minister of Digital Affairs of Taiwan. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audrey_Tang

For me the main issue with Bear is that it does not work with a directory of Markdown files, but locks them away in a database. If you worked directly on markdown files it would be nearly perfect. They did make a standalone markdown editor called Panda, but didn't pursue it for some reason.

I love this! It is like you have taken all the things I want from Obsidian (plus plug-ins) and made them into a single, well designed app. Great!

Feedback:

* This is so good you should find a way to keep it open source but also profit from it so you can develop it full-time. You could just have an official app version - I would pay for that.

* Feature creep. I am a big fan of Bear App for it's wonderful simple design, although I stopped using it because it doesn't work on markdown files directly. What I've seen is that equivalent apps/services (including Obsidian, Notion, Craft) are continuously adding new features. You've already got all the core features I think - try to avoid feature creep, and keep it focused on just doing the core things really well, like Bear App does.

Children of Time is wonderful! I wish Adrian Tchaikovsky would stop churning them out so quickly and write some more of the quality of Children of Time.

I can confirm that eliminating coffee can make a big difference.

Get glasses with the correct focal length for the distance you have your screen at. It makes a huge difference.

Great idea! Someone please do this.

What is the advantage of using avif over using an MP4 file?

The Economist rocks. They also have a wonderful daily summary of the news that takes five mins to read.

Yes Children of Time is very good. Tchaikovsky is excellent at portraying alien/non-human minds. You can tell he studied zoology and psychology at university.

Paper by Joscha Bach and Hikari Sorensen. "This essay describes our philosophical position on machine consciousness, including what we mean by “machine” and “consciousness,” and the epistemological and metaphysical assumptions we make in approaching the question."

Seriously? This is incredibly reasonable.

You can do this kind of thing in Apple Keynote. It's one of those powerful features that you find in Apple software but for some reason they keep hidden.

You can use "Magic move" to do the kind of stuff that Immersa is doing.

Is there any appropriate solution for complex interactive charts and graphs?

You literally just need to be in space, because no typical laws apply if you are there.

That makes no sense. Unless you are going to use the data in space (what for?), you need to import it into a country, and it is at that point the crime will have been committed. You can't, for example, circumvent GDPR laws just by sending the data into space first.

Reminds me of The Chewbacca Defense: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aV6NoNkDGsU

It mentions “boskovitch's installation”. I looked it up: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_Fan_(Feel_It_Motherfu...

Now that Vimeo has been taken over by Bending Spoons it's good to have more hosting options.

Mobilizon looks interesting but their docs results in a 404, which doesn't inspire confidence.

Needs the ability to have a waitlist.

Isn't Matter derived from Zigbee?

I love Sapolsky, but not this book. He was out of his depth on this topic.

Yep. People have been doing this kind of stuff for computer games for decades. It's actually not that difficult. It's not clear what novel problem is being solved here.

Emotional The New Thinking About Feelings by Leonard Mlodinow

Not that one but it was in my wish list, so I've purchased it on the basis of your recommendation, thank you!

Thanks for the recommendation. I've read it, not a huge fan, I think she makes good points but sets up false straw men ("everyone thinks that...") and overstates her case.

This looks like it might be an interesting read, but I just read the Chapter "Are Feelings Real?" (because it is a subject of personal interest of mine that I've studied a lot) and I found it to be very unsatisfactory, not really addressing the question at all, but sidestepping it. Which makes me wonder if the whole thing is really worth reading.

Some of this reminds me of the recommendations on one of the great programming books, Code Complete: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_Complete
