One recommendation to help this tool gain traction: use a black and white terminal for your terminal preview (GIF).

1. It will ease reading. It's currently terrible, you might be used to it but we aren't.

2. It will sharpen the text and make it easier to read since there's less to encode into the GIF format.

Additional recommendations: remove the useless part on the right—I use Arch BTW vibe—and make the font bigger.

"What is that, a gif for Ants?"

It's really hard to see what is going on in that small blurry demo gif. So please make it bigger in addition to parent's suggestions.

I am so sorry for that gif, just updated it!

Great advice!

I will update it now.

I've been working part-time for two years, works great for me! It's not easy to negotiate—and not with every company—but feasible.

Just discovered https://posseparty.com/ to ease your cross-posting.

You can: https://www.macrumors.com/how-to/make-scroll-bars-always-vis...

This makes them always visble. But you still need eagle eyes and motor skills of a high end athlete to actually click on the darn thing. Fitts law? Actual usability?

I've ditched RSS feeds more than 10 years ago but I'm increasingly wanting to go back to them. Thank you for sharing this blog post, it'll help to get me started.

The best thing about modern RSS is that you can retire entire accounts.

I don't have YouTube or Twitter accounts, I use RSS to subscribe to channels/users/tags.

This is the key imho, adapting stuff to yourself / your needs, when and where the GloboHomoCorp allows you to.

E.g. I don't use Twitter directly due to toxicity and overwhelmingness of the central feed (thank you Nikita), and due to, for me, the biggest issue - how shit it is for reading / following individual user feeds - when you find someone who's really interesting, and you don't want to miss posts.

So I use nitter and bookmark each person's profile I find interesting and I have that in a separate folder. Then at my pace, daily or weekly I read through people's posts and can really keep up like God intended me to.

At first it was less engaging than just having Twitter (as it's less adictive), and I've paced from deleting / using actual Twitter back and forth, but due to recent changes and events I've actually come to a place where through my bookmarks I discover new profiles / people / interests / niches at an organic pace that I can only compare to how I've used to use RSS or web in the older times. It's quite cool.

I prefer FreeTube for YouTube since it maintains the good parts of YouTube's interface while giving you something to point a backup program at. At least, when it works. There's currently a major blocking bug the devs are aware of.

Shhh - they'll hear you!

Surely it will be deleted as soon as some manager remembers it exists.

The day YouTube removes RSS feeds is the day I stop watching entirely.

I didn't know who he is and still found this blog post really interesting because the real topic is about marketing your app when you're a software developer.

it read to me more as a marketing piece itself than as a piece about marketing.

Then it's the worst marketing piece because there's not an even single link to the app.

You might not appreciate the topic, but this is definitely not an ad, just honest learning and sharing about a difficult part of the entrepreneur job.

Unfortunately it's not possible to add custom query parameters

I definitely recommend you to read A History of the World in 12 Maps by Jerry Broton. It's very interesting and you learn a lot about our world and its history.

I've never seen this topic so well explained, thank you for sharing!

From just scanning through the article quickly, I don't see there the mantissa similarly easily explained, but there is a very intuitive way to think of it. Because the mantissa (like everything else) is encoded in binary, the first explicit (because there's implicit 1. at the beginning) digit of it means either 0/2 or 1/2 (just like in decimal the first digit after the dot means either 0/10 or 1/10 or 2/10...), the next digit is (0/2² = 0/4) or 1/4, third digit is 0/8 or 1/8 etc. You can visualize this by starting at the beginning of the "window", and then you divide the window into 2 halves: now the first digit of the mantissa tells you if you stay at the beginning of the first half, or move to the beginning of the 2nd half. Now whatever half you picked, you divide it into 2 halves again, and use the next bit of mantissa to tell you if you should advance to the next half. So you just keep subdividing, and so the more bits in the mantissa you have, the more you can subdivide the window, and if the exponent (after applying bias) is equal exactly the number of explicit bits in the mantissa, the smallest subdivision cell has length equal exactly 1. Incrementing exponent by 1 will now double the window size, and without additional subdivision each cell has length equal exactly 2 meaning each next float number now increments by 2.

(keep in mind there is a subnormal range where there's implicit 0. at the beginning of the mantissa instead)

To reiterate, increasing the exponent by 1 doubles the window size, so the exponent describes how many times the window size was doubled while the number of bits of mantissa describes how many times you can do the reverse and "half" it, hence the exponent to mantissa bits relation.
