Our little planet just can't stop chatting about nonsense, and scramblers know only one use for information: to perceive it. They can't help but listen to all our yapping that only wastes their precious brain cycles and reduces their chances of survival. No peaceful species would do this.

For the longest time, writing was more expensive than reading. [...] The text used to have an innate proof-of-thought, a basic token of humanity. In contrast, AI made all media cheap. But AI only talks in response. So a human must use it.

"There's nothing wrong with using AI. because the transaction between the AI and the user is fully consensual. But whenever you propagate AI output, you're at risk of legitimizing it with your good name, providing it with a fake proof-of-thought." It can be fine because the output is owned, but in other cases, it's not. Our scrambler brain feels betrayed in this case.

L'une de mes inquiétudes est la gestion du projet. Typst est à 100 % du logiciel libre (licence Apache) mais son développement est apparemment étroitement contrôlé par une seule entreprise, qui commercialise des extensions privatrices à Typst et dont il n'est pas certain qu'ils acceptent d'ouvrir le projet.

Sinon le projet a l'air excellent

In comparison to the cloudflare outage, text files are robust

A textual adventure based on Discord

One file per project.

Each entry starts with a timestamp and is succinct: one or two sentences. That's it.

One day, one line.

YYYY-MM-DD wWW Aaa HH event. HH-HH another event.

For example: 2021-02-15 w07 Mon 9-12 project groups. 17 jogging.

It has limits if informations needs to be stored for each event though :/

A text editor... for lawyers.

We have it for developers and for scientists (I mean you LaTeX and Overleaf).

Why not as it can improve their writing.

We ended up deciding: what the heck, we might as well meet the market demand. So we put together a bespoke ASCII tab importer (which was near the bottom of my “Software I expected to write in 2025” list). And we changed the UI copy in our scanning system to tell people about that feature.

I am not sure it's a market demand, but only a ChatGPT hallucination.

Key points

• Writing is a way of thinking. Write early and often and always.
• Write in plaintext to concentrate on writing rather than formatting.
• Keep a work journal to help focus your thoughts at the beginning of each day.
• Keep standing files, such as "someday/maybe", to capture far-off tasks and keep your main to-do.txt file lean, clean, and relevant.
• Write a personal manifesto to help define yourself.
• When creating drafts of your work product, focus on content and structure, rather than formatting.
• Use the lightweight markup language Markdown to provide basic structure and formatting hints to your drafts.
• Use a really good text editor, such as Sublime Text, that keeps your hands on the keyboard, for efficient writing and word processing.
• Backup and revision history are important. You don't want to lose anything.

Using a BKTree data structure to identify and correct typos
Writing the Business Logic to Perform Typo Corrections
Pulling from Redis and caching it with lazy_static!
Identifying english words (among others, BKTree Search for Non-Dictionary Words)

KISS

Why not a Rust program for it :D

One Big Text File to organize and rule them all.
