Some tax forms like NY State fill-in forms have some scripted functionality that requires Adobe Acrobat to work, and they block rendering from other PDF programs. Even worse, once you've filled in the form, their PDF then blocks Acrobat from exporting to a normal PDF (the way you can save a print preview to a PDF for later) and so the only way you can get a real PDF of it is to print it directly and then scan it back to your computer.

stupidly does it block the Microsoft XPS printer?

Basically the last third of the book is a bibliography. It's filled with tons of scientific references.

Aerc lets you do this, although it doesn't automatically fill it in based on the recipient in a reply. So you have to remember to adjust the sender for each email that you send.

I think the parent was correct in the use of the word "Risk"; it's different than your definition, which appears to be closer to "likelihood".

Risk is a combination of likelihood and impact. If "risk" were just equivalent to "likelihood" then leaving without an umbrella on a cloudy day would be a "high-risk situation".

A rational person needs to weigh both the likelihood and impact of a threat in order to properly evaluate its risk. In many cases, the impact is high enough that even a low likelihood needs to be addressed.

I use it because it opens instantly and just shows me nearby train arrival times. The other apps have always taken too long to bother checking.

Thanks. This focuses on the most common daily need, with really clean design and display of information, and live updates as a flourish. Definitely sparks joy.

Oooh. This looks like exactly what I've wanted out of the MTA app. Thanks!

The third book is incredible. I actually started with that one accidentally but don't regret it at all; it gets more interesting much more quickly than the first book.

It's definitely the case that the characters are just a vehicle for exploring these science fiction concepts, but the ideas are so clever and imaginative that I can forgive it most of the time.

I agree, The story in a story in an attempt to talk over the heads of the Trisolarans is hilarious. Too bad they never learned to paint in non western perspective.

I agree - I read all three in sequence and each was better than the last.

The last was a very different book than the first.

> What is it that people love about Obsidian?

When Obsidian launched, there was already a lot of hype building in the note-taking community around Zettelkasten and Roam Research. With Roam, basically any word in your note could immediately link to another note, and you could see backlinks in your notes prominently.

However, Roam was both expensive and online-only, so when Obsidian came out and it was: a) polished, b) provided most of the functionality of Roam, and c) was offline and plain-text (also unlike Notion), it was an immediate hit.

The other special feature Obsidian offered was easy and powerful customization. The major settings are actually core plugins that can be enabled or disabled (like daily journal, tagging, or slideshows). Plugins and themes are easily discovered and installed from inside the app, which has led to a vibrant and popular plugin community. All you need is one plugin to be indispensable for users to never leave.

Usually it’s caching build artifacts between runs, or uploading packages or container images for private deployment.

Roughly equivalent tool that I've used in the past: https://lazamar.co.uk/nix-versions/

That’s why it’s only on transactions over $10.

Sure. I'd still notice on $10-15. To use my coffee example, if I go across the street and get a coffee and a baked good it'll be over $10.

My Toast purchases are pretty bimodal. Most of them are either $100+ or less than $20. Sans hyperbole, my point was that I'll notice in one mode but not the other.
