PlutoBook looks very impressive. Is it based on another renderer?
skipnup · 4 days ago
Doesn't look like it:

> PlutoBook depends on the following external libraries:

> Required: cairo, freetype, harfbuzz, fontconfig, expat, icu

> Optional: curl, turbojpeg, webp (enable additional features)

Whenever I am feeling smart or particularly talented, I like watching Shane's videos. I'm swiftly reminded that I have no idea what the hell I'm doing and carry on.

He doesn't either, does he? But he's great in outlining how to get to the point of having enough idea to go through with his project.

I believe that some people's actual full-time job is to translate software from US English to British English. I wonder what that job feels like after the thousandth time you've replaced color with colour and neighbor with neighbour

Correcting the number/date formatting will probably be the more challenging, yet still boring, Job, I guess.

However, I do understand in their world, 24TB is chump change

Don't know much about corporate traffic usage, but at some cheap VPS place like Hetzner you get 20TB traffic per month included für less than 4€.

Seems like a lot of traffic to me, probably is next to nothing or would cost more.

Outlook new is missing one fundamental feature which is automation. This blob of html can not be programmed unlike predecessors for more 15 years.

It is so easy to instantiate and use old outlook that I really fail to understand what is their endgame with this killing of a top and well respected product.

I switched to doing most of the automation in power automate

This of course only works with exchange afaik, but why else would I use outlook.

"Best" in the subjective opinion of @todsacerdoti. I didn't think editorialising titles was allowed.

The author of the software called it like that. Maybe quotes would still make sense.

base64 is the opposite of compressed. Does it actually apply compression before base64-encoding? Doesn't really look like it by watching the URL.
skipnup · a year ago
It’s actually compressed. It uses https://github.com/nodeca/pako and then applies base64. Try entering hundreds of "a" and you’ll see that the base64 doesn’t really get much longer.

Not sure if you mean that literally…“no crying” sounds like a very bad idea even for an adult. I trust you mean more like “no hysterical tantrums”.
skipnup · a year ago
And if you live with a toddler, even those have to exist and are necessary for becoming a healthy being. At least if they are met with understanding by the parents.

I wish the site offered a RSS feed and/or Fediverse account. Great content.
