I ❤️ using pandoc to convert markdown content simultaneously to various formats that I can e-mail people at work for feedback:

– PDF, because it’s beautiful to look at and the physics nerds will appreciate LaTeX-formatted content
– HTML, so those on their phones can open it with the built-in web browser with a font size that isn’t tiny
– DOCX, for those who need to edit the document and/or send me comments

Thanks to one makefile I copy into new projects.

I want to write a technical/design article about computer systems and how they treat names.

Based on my knowledge of and social experience with white America, cisgender men almost never have to even give the slightest thought to their name ever changing.

But I wanted to check myself and scope that assertion, if needed. Is men changing names common in other cultures?

I learned about axe. No, I'm not interested.

So the other day I was talking with my dad and he thought I said "there's heat to that" and he thought it was slang meaning that a phrase is truthful or has some validity. I don't remember what we were talking about but anyway I want to make "there's heat to that" slang for "what you just said was truthful/valid" who's with me

oh okay thanks

1) If something is "national", you need to specify it is the _American_ national thing. Other countries have their own national things.
2) If talking about states, you need to specify it is _American_ states. Other countries have their own states, and they don't care or know about yours.
3) Same for "the government", unless you are talking about all governments in general.
4) The majority of countries in the world are "other countries" and not the US.

No free view? No review!

Scientific publishers are rampant when they hear scientists proposing a fair relationship between the general public and scientists when it comes to peer-reviewing scientific papers and accessing the fruits of the same work funded by tax-payers' money. Hence consider sharing this campaign!

Having said that, it does feel like the mindshare for FOSS has decreased, not increased, since the 90's. The number of FOSS projects is larger, but the proportion of developers who understand and care about FOSS ideals has gone down, maybe severely. I'll partially fault those of us who learnt those Free Software principles alongside coding, but then failed to pass it on as well to the newer programmers - we were more eager to write Blog posts about Haskell monads and about how to send your users through your startup funnel, than to write about why Free software is important and what that vision of the future looks like.

I yelled at somebody in charge. That was satisfying.
