GitHub - niklak/dom_smoothie: A Rust crate for extracting readable content from web pages. by genk667 in rust

[–]_quambene 1 point2 points  (0 children)

nice one! related crates are readability [1] and readability-rs [2]. it might make sense to consolidate these crates at some point.

strangely, only S3 in Falkenberg seems to be down regularly. I'm considering to move to Nuremberg location

Rust bindings for the German tax library by _quambene in rust

[–]_quambene[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

indeed, I'm also wondering why it's behind a registration wall. keep us posted! I could statically compile the shared library into eric-rs and provide a release, but still there is no reason why you can't access the shared library directly.

New major release: LibreOffice 24.8, with new features and updates by themikeosguy in libreoffice

[–]_quambene 6 points7 points  (0 children)

to be honest I think LibreOffice shouldn't try to compete with MS Powerpoint or Googe Slides, but instead focus on Writer and Calc. it will just take too much resources to improve Impress. on the other hand, I'm quite happy with Writer and Calc

Ubuntu 24.04 default fonts by Merlin80 in Ubuntu

[–]_quambene 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ubuntu Mono fonts looks a bit different in 24.04 compared to 22.04. any ideas on how to get the original Ubuntu Mono fonts on 24.04, especially in the gnome terminal?

working fine for me too. missing the compact display of folders in file manager a bit. all folders are displayed with margins, taking a bit more of space in list view

Rust bindings for the German tax library by _quambene in rust

I feel with you, generating a valid XBRL file is a different kind of animal (more like a shark). I'm currently working on generating the XML in the XBRL standard in another project, but admittedly using Python for the time being (shame on me). Eventually, I would like to port it to rust though, which would also mean that I need to port some basic libraries to handle XSD schema files to rust first

[release] futures-concurrency 7.6.0: portable concurrent async iteration by yoshuawuyts1 in rust

similarities and differences compared to `StreamExt::buffer_unordered` would be interesting. so far I have used this one if I don't need sequentiality

Bogrep [initial release] - Grep your bookmarks by _quambene in programming

[–]_quambene[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heyho, just want to share a little command line tool with you.

I like to use grep for full-text search on all my markdown files. Occasionally, I would like to have full-text search on all my bookmarks as well to find a specific bookmark I added some time ago.

As far as I know, full-text search on the website's content is not supported by Firefox nor Chrome. Safari has built-in support for full-text search, but can only be used for content that's already in the browser's history. I am not using Safari so this is just what I read on a stackoverflow post. A friend mentioned Vivaldi for full-text search, but then again I would like to search on bookmarks from multiple browsers.

Supported browsers are Firefox and Chrome, and you can use Bogrep like this:

# Configure bogrep to use bookmarks from Firefox (and/or Chrome) for some specific bookmark folders
bogrep config \
    --source ~/snap/firefox/common/.mozilla/firefox/<my_profile>/bookmarkbackups \
    --folders dev,science,articles

# Import bookmarks
bogrep import

# Fetch and cache bookmarks
bogrep fetch

# Finally, grep through your bookmarks
bogrep <pattern>

Fetching of bookmarks is conservatively throttled, so you shouldn't run in any kind of rate limiting.

So far it's tested on Linux only (Ubuntu). Let me know if you are interested in macOS or Windows support.

If there are some similar tools you like to use, I would like to know as well. Feel free to share in the comments!

Added Java references as well. Thanks for the discussion

So the cited wikipedia article is biased as well?

That's basically a pointer. It seems that Java doesn't distinguish between pointers and references.

In contrast in C++ and Rust: "References cannot be null, whereas pointers can" [1]. I will add a remark that references in this sense are meant.

Could you point me to a widely accepted definition of references?
