yeah tldr is great. and the idea of expressiveness vs discoverability is something I’ve to think about. thanks!
but i was more thinking about things like using ps2pdf to reduce the size of scanned (xsane) pdfs. remembering that ps2pdf can do this is difficult for me. i have my notes but it’s still cumbersome.
yea as much as like using the command line, I’m having a hard time remembering all the options required, especially with things i use rarely. the discoverability is just better in GUIs
it is about a fake compiler but the article is interesting. thanks for sharing
not really, llms have become quite good at extracting text from scans. /s

nevermind i think i found them
awesome! where’s this from?
yes absolutely! but sometimes i have the impression that there is a intergenerational rupture such that the grandparents technically knew these recipes, but this knowledge did not get passed on to the parents’ generation. so depending on your age there maybe one or even two generations which just don’t know these recipes, hence the reliance on cookbooks, which involves trends, marketing, being fashionable, etc.
(also, lots of old recipes require quite some prep time and/or planning, which is why there used to be different recipes for different days of the week. e.g., Saturday was reserved for washing, with little time for meal prep, so Eintopf it is. i think what I’m getting at is that this kind of cooking is quite different to the modern idea of i can decide on the spot what’s for dinner. the old stuff just doesn’t work that way. sorry for rambling)
if you know what you’re looking for and now know how to cook.
one problem i see/have with cookbooks on traditional cuisine is that a lot of the better one focus on traditional sunday roast style fancy recipes (schweinebraten mit kraut und knödeln), and while good they are not cheap. what is more difficult to find is the saisonal poor mans cuisine. except maybe cucina povera from Italy.
sorry i was pulling your leg. where i live people some people call them “knotschi”, instead of ([ˈɲɔkki]).

yes, and the fact that the number of inch divisions between the foot dividers is inconsistent
it’s slop. count the inch markings in the top left 🙄
it’s for when life gives your lemons
this happens usually with very fresh eggs, leave them for a couple of days.

started learning French during the pandemic, first with some app but then switched to an 1-1 online course, one hour every week, and stayed with it. right now I’m somewhere at B1 level which might but be much, but suffices for reading (technical) books, newspapers, and everyday communication. i try to listen to a lot of French music (with lyrics on, to help me get into the rhythm if the language and maybe learn some new lingo), watch movies (Love Star Trek), listen to the radio, bla blub.
the things is to find something you care about in the other language/culture. then, learning the language will give you access to something which is already important to you and keeping up with your learning becomes more easy. my2c
