There was another article/blog on hackernews some time ago along the lines of 'I'm an editor, here is how I edit my friends texts' with some really good advice.
Unfortunately I can't find it anymore -- if someone knows which post I mean, I'd appreciate sharing it with me again.
Interesting approach. I am currently looking for jobs and went the 'career coaching' route for my CV. I did a few iterations with my coach until I got my current result (ideally I had a link):
I first looked at Canva templates, but apparently nowadays you are supposed to do black/white and no fancy designs for ATS readability. Then I tried it with Google Docs b/w resumee template, which kinda got me to write actual skills. Then I approached the coach, got her template and iterated, and then I also added some rules from here (https://principiae.be/pdfs/ECV-1.01.pdf).
I also involved ChatGPT to analyze job postings and to get the mix of keywords in my resumme right. Tools like https://tagcrowd.com/ also help with that. For example, I am targeting 'IT analyst' roles, and it does make sense that I have the word 'analysis' a few times in my CV.
E: mine is basically structured the following way
Name
Title
Summary
3x5 ATS keywords/skills specific to my profile and role
last ten years, also written in a way that 'gamifies' ATS: 'Year, worked as ROLE at Company, did XYZ'
--page 2--
Education (degree + grades)
Skills Training
Languages
Some more IT skills (programming languages, project management, ...)
E2: I obviously have no idea what I am doing, but I got three interview proposals for 10 applications, so I guess 30%.
Do you mean Kagi search function or their LLM? If it is the former, I use it as a daily driver and I do a lot of scholarly work and I rarely felt the need to switch to something else. Maybe sometimes I go to google scholar itself (not google search) but this again wouldn't be different from using google search itself.
They won't auto-generate thousands of replica KFC restaurants in rural Mongolia, as they did in Flight Sim 2004. If Google Image Search worked anymore, I'd link a screenshot.
'Culture' in the sense of human artefacts (buildings, etc) laid down on an underlying terrain. Such culture will be specific to particular regions of the world.
I would think things like roofs. If you're flying over Florida, make it "culturally appropriate" by making the roofs look like they are made of that tile rather than regular shingles.
Edit: There's a Florida joke in there somewhere but I'm not going there.
The dark spot near the border with Belgium is possibly due to heavy use of Starlink after the flooding last year, and therefore Starlink is probably over provisioned there. The dark spot in Bavaria I can't be certain, but I suspect it's also a result of over provisioning, since that area is particularly rural and may not have thorough DSL coverage.
Imo the problem with Org-mode is that it "afterloads" all the complexity into the :PROPERTIES: drawers. Those quickly transform into unreadable hideous beasts of metadata that _require_ you to use Emacs. Every plugin developer likes to create their own set of properties, which directly leads to the problem of "multiple Markdown flavours". Extensibility is not always good.
Thats a fair point. But I'd argue that as long as there's a large enough core of agreed upon functionality having app-specific data packed away and carried for free (as plain text) is not a bad thing.
My app, for example, sticks a couple of useful pieces of data in properties but when it creates a TODO item or adds a [[link]] or *heading that semantic meaning is available to any other outliner or task management app using the same backing store.
I guess the argument is that org-mode encompasses a large enough set of core components that its the best place to standardize what can be standard in this PKM/Productivity/TFT space.
Interesting that this has a name. I've been doing this naturally for quite some time now without knowing the science behind it; it just feels "right" for me.
Thinking about it, whenever I had a job where I ate lunch with coworkers (besides my breakfast+dinner combo) I noticed that I gained lots of weight.
I've been intensively using Orgmode for a year and a half (wrote my thesis in it) and then abandoned it to switch to Markdown.
Orgmode quickly turns into not-quite-plaintext with humanly impossible to read and very distracting data structs stuck inside the text. I think these were called "Properties"?
For me the beauty of plain-text is that it can be read and written in any Editor without needing syntax highlighting. Here Orgmode fails for me, as I found it unreadable and unusable without an Emacs-esque toolkit.
Yeah, I agree. I use org, but if I'm writing a document I'm in Markdown, not the Org markup. It's just noisy.
Emacs partisans are often very, very sure that the emacs way is always the best way, sort of like evangelicals. (And I say this as a guy who has emacs and orgmode open all day, every day.)
That's a fair gripe, as an Org-mode+Emacs user. I certainly see the clunkiness you experience in its structure. But for me, I find it highly unlikely I'll ever use an editor other than Emacs for anything but basic and quick editing. For things as comprehensive as to necessitate writing in Org-mode, I'd rather do it in Emacs anyways. Need to port it to another editor? Two options: Org-export it to a more portable format, or get started on a comprehensive integration for Org-mode in the new editor.
I personally would be willing to put the time into developing Org-mode functionality on-par with Emacs, in a new editor, if the new editor were to have major advantages over Emacs. But I don't think I'll come across one for a very long time.
The kind of “data-rich” org file you don’t like would presumably be impossible in markdown. So what are you gaining at all? Just don’t write such data-rich org files. That’s totally under your own control.
I am a NixOS user, but am interested in Guix. Based on a cursory look I have some questions:
- How big is Guix on GNU? Does it throw wrenches in your way if you do anything "unfree"? How easy is it to install the nvidia-drivers?
- How is the package ecosystem? 20.000 official packages seems a little low? Are there community packages? How easy it is to create your own packages? Why is the Neovim package only at version 4.4 [1]? Isn't version 5 officially released?
- How good is the documentation?
- Is there a project roadmap? Are there any issues preventing adoption?
They only package linux-libre, so if your device needs proprietary wifi, you're out of luck. Also they package icecat instead of firefox which is kind of cool.
I tried to package slash'em a few years ago, and found it very difficult. The documentation is gigantic and it's hard to find what you're looking for. I found folks on IRC very helpful.
You're not kicked out if you "dare" (how brave!) ask a question about it. You're welcome to chat about it on #nonguix. Is it really that hard to accept that #guix is not #nonguix and that we don't discuss proprietary software on the main channels?
> You're not kicked out if you "dare" (how brave!) ask a question about it. You're welcome to chat about it on #nonguix. Is it really that hard to accept that #guix is not #nonguix and that we don't discuss proprietary software on the main channels?
So... if I go to the official channel to discuss guix and I said the forbidden word "CUDA" I get kicked off? You wrote a sentence in a tone that implies it disagrees with what I said, but it just restates my point.
"CUDA" is not a forbidden word. Where does that idea come from?
Here: CUDA, CUDA, CUDA!
If you go to the official channels and ask about CUDA people like me will likely tell you that CUDA is proprietary software, so we don't cater to it in Guix. If you then acted all offended and angry that would be the end of my interactions with you; otherwise I'd tell you the right venue to ask for help with CUDA without starting a discussion of proprietary software on our main channels.
If that's not good enough for you then we're working on incompatible assumptions of how communities work. If you think you're entitled to discuss whatever you want on the community's channels then you're going to have a bad time. Life must be hard demanding of other people to humor you when they really don't want to.
> Guix puts ideology over the welfare of its users.
No.
light_hue puts ideology over the welfare of the community.
And those that want things to actually work and get stuff done.
The second group is the one that wins all of the users. Of course, there's room for both types of projects in the world. But don't be surprised when people who don't want to waste time on a political discussion that doesn't effect their lives in any way don't want to put up with it.
> But don't be surprised when people who don't want to waste time on a political discussion that doesn't effect their lives in any way don't want to put up with it.
There are no political discussions about the merits of proprietary software on #guix or the Guix mailing lists. It's just not the right venue for that.
So, yeah, I wouldn't want to waste my time on discussions like that, and we effectively don't.
> And those that want things to actually work and get stuff done.
This is a false dichotomy, but if you don't see it this way I'm not going to be able to convince you otherwise.
People don't care about 21000 packages they care about say 5. An environment which has 5 has excellent software availability for that user. One that has 3 it has for that user poor availability.
Debian has far more packages but pure numbers are hard to compare when packages are broken up in different fashions and missing 1 package that 30% of users desire is more problematic than missing 1000 package that collectively 3% of users desire. More so if that 1 package is required for the users computer to work properly or indeed at all.
For a substantial number of users Guix has insufficient software availability and one notes that for example that for example Fedora which is very free software focused doesn't forbid you from discussing nonfree software in its channel. Elsewhere you tout that RMS wasn't allowed to remove clang from the package collection as if it were proof of value. Other distributions don't have benevolent dictators trying to remove useful free software for ideological reasons.
We are all habituated to what we perceive as normal. Neither situation is actually normal and indeed is sufficient reason by itself to ignore a superior product like GUIX and does a disservice to the cause of free software by decreasing the number of people willing to put up with it. I'd go so far as to say that without more liberal attitude from other player the entire free software movement would already be dead. A free software only default is perfectly fine as is acknowledging practical consideration to drive interest in free software in order to provide a larger base of people from which to draw potential contributors in order to continue to strengthen the base.
If GUIX is Debian than someone ought to just make a Ubuntu that largely ignores ideology and focuses on the practical.

My point was that neither does Guix. But you do you.
