most people I know who used to browse hn have left because of this (I am not exaggerating), and I barely ever look at it either anymore, so asking here is probably gonna give you a biased view.
Well, yes, this is what makes HN and sites like it work for the target audience: they both passively - by endlessly discussing a group of topics which is of interest to a relatively narrow group of people - as well as actively - by vociferous use of the down-vote button on those who venture too far outside of the desired discourse - shun those who do not fit in. If you do fit in you'll see this as a positive, if the topics discussed here are of no interest to you you won't care at all since you prefer to be somewhere else. It is only for those who straddle the edges of the evolved site profile who will think negatively of this since they want the site to accommodate them as well. Some (myself included) are fine with the subject matter discussed here since they can simply ignore those things which they're not interested in but would like the down-vote to disagree rule to disappear so that legitimate comments which don't fit the desired narrative do not get greyed out into oblivion. Others (like you?) would prefer a less hype-oriented subject matter discussion.
After a day of trying to get it to work at all (tried through both the docker thing and the non-docker thing) and finally getting it to work. Then, the nexy time I try to start it, shit being broken again, I rage quitted and switched to hledger. I'm sure it is easy if you are in the webdev/devops world though.
I believe the intent matters. If you need a fence and you’re not trying to use the electricity then it is not theft. If your intent is to consume the power then it is theft.
Doing this kind of power harvesting off transmission lines is a standard Electric Power university course exam question for intro to transmission lines courses.
Cool, this one is real 3D, looks like. Ever heard about any content made in this format? VR games are, well, games - we know they can do actual 3D just fine
The compiler is open source, and written in rust. The web interface is free, and I think it will stay that way? (I think they run on donations). They could really use some clearer marketing on the front page...

Wow, that's really appealing to me; thanks for pointing that out. I was thinking "well, this looks nicer than LaTeX, and I'm really frustrated with LaTeX, but I really don't want to jump right into a big WYSIWYG thing". Now I'm really interested. Most of the other "replacements" suffer in some big ways (Markdown and RST/Sphinx are great for structured content, but not great for meticulous control over the presentation).
And I've got a cool rendered PDF with a math formula!
I'm very keen now to see exactly how flexible, robust, and extensible this is. LaTeX can do basically anything, but you pay for the power in blood. I would love a typesetting system that isn't horribly painful to extend.
I think they were very careful to have the same expressivity as latex. It’s basically a whole language with a human-friendly syntax.
Their discord channel has a bunch of community plugins if you want a showcase. It’s not yet as big as latex, obviously, but I think it already has the critical mass to make it a sound choice.
That is not what typst is though, it really is just a language and a compiler which you can just run in your commandline (and a fast one at that). There is that flashy web interface, but that is separate from typst itself, but you don't need to use that, it really is a latex replacement.
Yup. Because installing (or doing anything with) Latex sucks. Packaging sucks, settings things sucks, every package inventing its own syntax sucks. Overleaf solves some of those problems. It still doesn't help you a lot with nonsense error messages but at least you can see them in roughly correct places half the time.
You forgot to mention that error messages suck and that the standard workflow of invoking latex twice, then placing chicken feathers one the picture your first love, running bibtex, and finally running latex three more times ( or four if it's a full moon ) also sucks.
How does the app get the youtube videos, and their info. Is it scraping, like newpipe. Using official api's, maybe something closer to what youtube vanced did?
Would it just stop working when WEI is implemented?
I don't think "capacity" neccesarily has a concrete unit connected to it. I am pretty sure you could call both the charge and the energy in a battery its capacity.
