I don’t know how comfortable you are writing your own, but pdf saves the components with coordinates, bounding box etc so you should be able to automate it with a small script that reads pdf components directly.

Also try qpdf to convert pdf into qdf format, then you can open it in a text editor, find the element you want to remove. Look at examples of few pages, find the pattern and do regex replace. Make sure to keep a copy and check the diff before accepting it.

Can’t see instructions on how to use it, do I need to do anything non trivial on my phone? Should I test it on an old phone?

Again, you can type feet instead of ft and it’ll work. You can write ‘feet per second’ instead of ‘ft/s’ and it’ll work. Natural language has its benefits but when you have a very simple syntax model then there’s less chances of it making a mistake.

I also like it very much. I hope they make a library for it soon, I can’t wait to use it to make unit aware calculators.

I mean the syntax for gnu units is literally the same unit expression used in math. m^2, cm, m/s etc. the ft;in looks weird because it’s two units combined.

Your example in it would be units 30ft mm , use -t for terse results that’s just the final value.

Doesn’t even work well on a single monitor on Wayland. It gets confused with screen size or sth, fills a small area on top left with screen contents and lot of black space

$4/month for this article.

That’s what I think about so many home/traditional cure. Maybe it works for those people due to placebo effect, and I’ve lost that magic because I’m too critical of everything.

I thought the gov wrote this, just a joke huh

Yeah, and there’s no plan to stabilize the ABI because it’s developing.

You can use C ABI for some data formats, but you’re limited on what you can use (mostly primitives). There’s a crate stable-abi or abi-stable that provides a way to do things to keep it stable, but since it’s external crate it has limitations.

I know it’s frustrating because I am writing something in rust that loads functions in runtime. I thought it’d be easy because programs written in C do it all the time. Rust gives a lot of advantages but working on dynamic loading hasn’t been fun. And there aren’t a lot of resources about this either.

Yup. I made a scientific analysis program. Using CLI and your own editors you can do so much. And instead of focusing on making the algorithms, I had to focus on making a GUI for months because people need things to click.

And then even with very responsive and easy GUI, with like just 5 types of “views” and probably like <5 buttons/inputs each, people are like “it seems complicated” within like 1 minutes of demo. They haven’t even tried to use it or tried to learn anything. I even modeled the views to be as similar to another software they use.

I feel like people just don’t like computers.

IIRC Same compiler version doesn’t mean the ABI will be the same. Each compilation may produce different representation of data structures in the binary. Depending on the optimization and other things.

Perfect, it looks like the thing I want. Hopefully it can do multiple devices in different networks. I’ll test it out when I can.

Thank you :)

I’d like a local filesharing option. Where a single folder would be synced in my phone from home computer when I’m at home, and from work computer and phone when I’m at work. Without using cloud sync between them only when I’m physically traveling between them, that’s good enough for most use cases of cloud sync that I want for work.

Sometimes you get into skill issue, or time issues. I make some softwares that I need, but I don’t have advertising skills to make people use it.

And sometimes I want to make something, but I don’t have the necessary skills.

Yeah, I could only find one that works on kde plasma with Wayland, but it doesn’t even have a tab key. Does anyone know how hard it is to make/modify one?

You said you can type in markdown, convert it to PDF with pandoc and you like the results.

Now all you need is an editor that can open two file side by side (anything works here, I use emacs), and needs to auto reload PDF on file change. And a tool that can run your configured command each time markdown file changes (I have my own program for this, but it’s a simple bash script as well if you want to write).

Now with those two all you do is write in markdown and every time you save it the command will run, get the pdf and it’ll reload the pdf. Even if you don’t have the same program to open text and PDF you can just use two with split screen.

Thank you. I have a family to worry about so can’t survive on ramen alone… But I’ll look for other countries postdoc and such. I’m a bit scared of moving somewhere I don’t know the local language now because of how things are going in the US, if something like this happens and I can’t understand their language I’d not even know the dangers.

My understanding is this:

It’s just the principle of AUR wrappers. Yes they are very useful, but anyone and their uncle can put a package in AUR name it whatever they want as long as it’s not taken. AUR wrapper makes it easier to install things without knowing much, but manually searching for something, finding it, and installing it involves conscious choices. Arch cannot be responsible for people installing malware from a software they recommended, that’s why it’s kept this way intensionally.

Imagine if yay/paru came with the os, or could be installed from pacman, then people would just recommend doing that to new users and then they might just install whatever and break the system a lot more.
