Boost change the status and highlighting of comments when you leave the post. Highlighting stays even if you shut off the screen and come back, so long as you didn't leave the post.

I do not know how Boost does it, but I would not be surprised it is something along the lines you're suggesting.

Thanks for your interest in that feature.

It looks like this on e.g. Boost. Greyed comments are new comments since I visited the post.

(Sorry about the volume bar on the right...)

 

Is a "new comments" feature planned? Highlighting the newly posted comments in a post since last time visited?

It's a very handy feature to follow discussions in a post.

Effectivement, si tu ne cherches à faire que du local, c'est peut-être pas le bon filon à creuser. Juste un disque partagé en réseau sur un système un peu léger pourrait suffire.

Perso, je conseille Yunohost pour le système, hyper simple à gérer. Tout est expliqué sur leur doc, très accessible et grosse communauté française. Et comme cloud fichier uniquement, Seafile est hyper robuste et efficace. Il est mieux que Nextcloud, mais il ne fait que la partie fichier (mais bien, justement).

The ingredient you might be missing for how common the CLT is applicable is the following: in most complex systems (e.g. biological systems), any variable you measure is likely influenced by a lot of other hidden variables. Because there are so many variables at play, each effect is likely to be small, and the way their effects are compounded is likely somewhat additive (this one comes from things like series expansion). Hence summing up effects between variables must be relatively common and account for the bulk of the variation in a response variable.

A last bit is this: most statistical methods like the linear model are relatively robust to deviation from the normal distribution. So, you don't need exactly a normal distribution, you just need close enough. It turns out the CLT often produces "close enough" quite quickly (i.e. with a few variables added together).

What do you mean dictatorship? It's a "special military regime"! 🤡

The "it's my lab, so you follow my conventions" for a thing a silly as the space before % (and after you've used a rightful source to stand your point) is a very dumb power move IMO.

The Rust rewrite is done now, no?

Sure, if you want... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

At first, I wrote "Element/Matrix" and decided to not be too pedantic... But if you want to be complete: the messaging protocol is, of course, Matrix. You could say there is actually no such thing as a Matrix server either, because it's a protocol. The server must probably be Synapse-based, I guess. But there is an "Element-based server" in the sense that the web interface of Tchap (and phone apps) are very clearly forked from Element, which is what I meant.

Visio is based on LiveKit, which Element Call is also based on (as far as I understand). It lives outside of Tchap. The DINUM never mentioned it was based on Element Call. Do you have additional information? (Not that the difference matters much I think)

[–] flyos@jlai.lu 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I guess. There must be a reason for them turning to something else than Jitsi given they already had that running (and the French service responsible for that, DINUM, is surprisingly extremely open-source friendly for a state service), but I don't know which one.

 

OK, so I'm a heavy user of the native pipe in R which goes like this "|>". This is particularly painful to type on French keyboard, so on Plasma X11, I had a little script using xdotools to input |> when I pressed Ctrl+$. Very comfortable!

With the switch to Plasma 6, I'm now using Wayland because one needs to live with one time, I guess. But this means I lost the ability to use xdotools to do that.

I tried wtype, which seemed easy, but it doesn't seem to work in Plasma (and is not maintained any more?).

I tried ydotools, which is harder to set up (it requires running a deamon as root, which is not convenient and also defeats the security purpose of Wayland I guess? Maybe not, I'm no expert). The problem with ydotools is that it doesn't seem to be aware of the keyboard layout, and since my keyboard is French AZERTY, it outputs gibberish instead of, well, |>.

So, here's my question for you guys: do you know of any other (if possible, easy as wtype is/was) way to setup a string input associated to a shortcut?

 

Hi,

I would like to reorganise a big calendar into several smaller ones, e.g. based on the categories of events (say categories "Birthday" would be moved to a "Birthday" calendar and so on). I know it could some up with some highly convoluted awk script to filter the very unfriendly ICS format, but I thought I could simplify my life and use the work of some nice person who certainly had come up with a tool to manipulate ICS files (GUI or CLI), right?

It turns out, I can find many small scripts or Github repos named "icsfilter" or the like, but nothing seemingly quite established.

That's why I turn to this great community: anybody who was confronted to the same problem and could recommend a nice utility to filter ICS files?

Thanks a lot!

 

Quelqu'un sait pourquoi Paris est noir de monde et les transports blindés (enfin, plus que d'habitude) ce week-end ?

Coupe du monde ? Fashion week ? Météo ? Autre ?

 

Hi there! I'm trying Boost currently, liking a lot so far. Something I'm missing from Jerboa is the ease to recognise the community from a post using the community icon. I see no option to get that in Boost. Am I missing something?

Quelle débâcle cette chronique, c'est dingue qu'on puisse tenir ce type de discours à l'antenne de France Inter, c'est même dangereux.

Encore une explosion à Paris, dans le 18e. L'origine est inconnue pour l'instant.

Malgré un titre putaclic (le moustique est mentionné une fois dans toute la vidéo, pour dire que les mâles pollinisent), une vidéo extrêmement intéressante de l'ami Jamy sur le rôle écologique très important des insectes.

 

Eh beh... Je suis d'autant plus content qu'on ait réussi à acheter juste avant l'inflation, plutôt que de voir son épargne fondre à cause de décisions de ce type!

 

Salut,

Je cherche à m'abonner depuis jlai.lu à des communautés de mon autre instance de rattachement (mander.xyz), et malgré le fait que l'instance est censée être liée, je ne trouve pas les communautés en cherchant directement ou par URL.

C'est normal ?
