Been in a similar philosophy for a while now. I like the idea of staying native to the OS, using open formats as much as possible, and using interoperable toolings.

The idea is to approach content as data-first, with tools on top, and be at ease with plans to Walk-Out when needed.

Besides the article in discussion, here are a few inspirations for plain-text as the defaults.

Your "A Plain Text Personal Organizer" leads to some ad.

Prediction: AI will become commoditized ~15 IQ points higher than the state of the art models today, and with larger context, within 4 years as the incremental improvements in training from synthetic data plateaus (we've already used all the "real" data out there) and open source models are cheaply trained on the outputs of the big money models. Then AI development stagnates until someone invents an effective way to use competitive reinforcement learning to train generalized intelligence (similar to how AlphaGo was trained), removing the need for vast quantities of training data. Then, we get real AGI.

How did we use "all the data"? New knowledge appears on the internet every day, new scientific articles and videos are published.

A good trick to prevent this is to set your microphone to an aggregate device that you create with the Audio Midi Device tool that comes with your mac.

Open that, and create a new aggregate device with just the system microphone. Then set that as the default microphone. And now when applications access the microphone for whatever reason, your bluetooth headphones don't switch profile and keep on using the aggregate microphone device.

It's one of those obscure hacks that should just be default behavior. Why would I want to switch to a low quality audio codec when I have a perfectly good microphone in the laptop? Answer: I don't want to. Never. Loads of people use expensive headsets and they all sound terrible when they take their calls. It's not necessary.

Can you do the same with the iphone?

Is there an text editor that is able to autocomplete the categories in hledger format ? It would be great to type Assets:: and then get a list of the possible categories, but I haven't found any editor or extension that does it.

A VS Code extension for ledger-cli provide autocomplete as long as your journal compatible with ledger-cli

I was recently on a project where the backend was written in Python and finished in two months. The frontend guys are still dicking around with React components eight months after the project started. The front end on this project is child's compared to the backend. It's frustrating.

There was a point in the history of front-end dev when they all started calling themselves "rock stars" and became convinced that they are the future of software development. The SPA trend gave frontend devs an excuse to write unmaintainable code, gave designers an excuse to call themselves software developers, and then they all told the world they are doing "full-stack development" when Node appeared. Meanwhile they never bothered to learn pre-SPA UI, UX, or content design principles.

Thing is, working on front end never gives you a chance to work on problems that backend has to deal with. I never let JS guys work on backend code, because they are lost if they cannot find a module online that does what they are asked to do, or is missing half of the features from the spec it promised to implement (always the hard ones). We then have to pick up the mess and rewrite it in Python or Golang, which is wast of time and money. I once quit when when the client showed me the Python code written by a JS dev. My devs refused to touch that shit and we went to work for another client.

This is a big and poorly justified generalization.

It helps decipher JS error stack traces by applying source maps to them. In my previous company, we struggled to configure Sentry to work with source maps, and every error message was cryptic due to minification. First, I created a little command line utility and later made it a web app.

I also don't like "Unused definitions, type declarations, etc. are compile-time errors" as I often want to test the validity of a statement, like a type declaration, by compiling before using it. Much prefer warnings.

I don't mind the disallowing name shadowing, but I really, really hate (I mean that) websites that are just good ol' text and the odd picture that require Javascript. The excuse of "we used React, it's easy" seems odd given that HTML is much easier.
