Truly a sitcom worthy story.


For my personal mail I like using labels in Gmail instead of archive button. Basically, I categorize mail in a few categories:

1. Receipts, bill, utilities, etc. (Sublabel for every company)

2. Friends&Family (Sublabel for every person)

3. School and school related (Sublabel for every person)

4. Government and government related (Sublabel by organization)

5. Random and miscellaneous

It's archive, but somewhat organized


Yeah, I do this too. Folders works pretty well in both Gmail Web and IMAP, but I don't do sub-labels, I just jam them all into folders for Commerce, Friends ( one folder per City), Interests, Family (One folder for each closest relative, so stuff from my Mom's sister goes in the Mom folder.)

I use Thunderbird a lot, so Archive is an anti-pattern (I believe it removes all tags from an email, leaving it only in All Mail. I have All Mail turned off in IMAP because it makes a second copy of everything, which is bad in a 20+ year old mail archive.)


It’s fairly clear that this happened because they want to discourage AI scraping. But what does this mean for the Internet Archive? Is it really so strict that no new posts can be archived?


Roast:

An adequate summary of Collier's critique can be found in the video (starting at 1:56:13): "I've started this whole project thinking: 'Oh my God, I hate Richard Feynman. He's such an a*hole.' But that doesn't make sense. I don't know anything about Richard Feynman. And now I am here—Richard Feynman never wrote a book. Richard Feynman constantly made up stories. He was a showman. Does anybody know anything about Richard Feynman? Can you hate a guy that does not exist? The legend of Richard Feynman is based on nothing about Feynman at all..."


All's well in Balkans. Moving along...


Wasn't this an old school insult back from CS 1.6 days (probably even before), or was it only used among my friends?


This feels like something Asianometry could make a video about.


Methinks we won't have to wait long for it.


Well now I want it and it doesn't exist. ) :


As a Serbian keyboard user, I really dislike these keys: \ [] {} |. They always mess up my typing flow. The layout seems to prioritize punctuation like : , ; and - over the symbols needed for programming and markup, making them easier to reach compared to an English keyboard. It’s great for writing regular text, but when it comes to using LaTeX, it’s a pain since typing \ [] {} | feels like doing gymnastics with my fingers.


We've come the full circle with writing letters above words. Reminds me of old medieval Slavic texts: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/36/Miroslav...
