  • Also because, as a person who has studied multiple languages, German is hard and English is Easy with capital E.

    No genders for nouns (German has three), no declinations, no conjugations other than “add an s for third person singular”, somewhat permissive grammar…

    It has its quirks, and pronunciation is the biggest one, but nowhere near German (or Russian!) declinations, Japanese kanjis, etc.

    Out of the wannabe-esperanto languages, English is in my opinion the easiest one, so I’m thankful it’s become the technical Lingua Franca.



  • Edit: sorry, I’ve realised after writing this that I misread and the post was about hosting for sharing, not for backup and sharing between your own devices. I’ll leave my comment up in case it’s interesting anyway, but I wrote it thinking this was about having your vault synced across devices.


    I’ve used a few things for both Logseq and Obsidian, Google Drive with the desktop app and FolderSync for android was the second best I’ve tried.

    The best I’ve tried is Obsidian sync, so the few quid are worth it for me as it saves me a lot of hassle and I would say Obsidian is one of my top 3 used apps.


  • My take is that best case scenario you’d arrive roughly at the same time you left.

    If you have breakfast in London at 8am, then make it to the airport by 8:30, you’re at the gate at 9:30 after one hour of security and controls, and you’ve made it exactly at the time when boarding starts, which usually is 45 minutes before takeoff on most airlines. You take off at 10:15, arrive at 11:45 (which is 6:45 local time), then still have to go through half an hour of border control and getting out of the airport, and then another half an hour to get to the city centre and have a coffee.

    You’d still arrive at about 8:30, but I don’t see the whole ordeal taking any less than 5 hours.

    I routinely take a 1.5 h flight to visit my family and while I’m a fair bit away from the airport, I don’t think I’ve ever managed to get door-to-door in less than 8 hours. 6 if we are measuring departures lounge to arrivals.


  • To be honest I get your point. We use it at work for summaries of 70-page lists of software commits, and with adequate prompting to “understand” what’s what in our codebase it works remarkably well.

    Granted it doesn’t work near as well as a person who spends a month working on such a summary, but it does it in seconds. Then a person can work for a day on reviewing this and tidying up rather than wasting time trying to summarise 100k lines of code by hand.





  • I believe so. I have some roles in my team I’m hiring for, that have reading code and fixing small bugs as one of the requirements, but not developing code from scratch. (It’s a sort-of field engineering role).

    We do test for both things (treating the “developing code from scratch” as bonus points rather than a strict pass/fail) and some people can find and fix bugs in a couple minutes, but are incapable of writing some basic python to iterate through prime numbers and store them in an array.
