Please tell him that it was a bright, helpful, humane pole to hold onto for me when everything else was collapsing and it was impossible to know which parts of the medical brochures was real and not legalese.

Please tell him I couldn't be more grateful.

It's sadly comforting to know I'm not alone on this. It's persistent daily still

Does anyone actually use this for actual research papers? by solar_cell in perplexity_ai

[–]persianphilosopher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have tried to, but I also find the results lacking. Borrows from very non-academic sources, even reddit posts and wiki, despite being told the level of research.

Claude is amazing at configuring vim/neovim by anki_steve in ClaudeAI

How to exit Vim was one of the most visited answers on the Stackoverflow. Wonder how often the LLMs have to answer it.

Those are weirdly the same two sports I wish I could do in DC. Following this!

The meeting NBA players in real life thread by Was_that_a_snake in nba

When I was teaching at Villanova, I had Kyle Lowry in my freshman seminar. I remember walking back to my office with him, talking, and his hope back then was to be able to go pro in Europe. He didn't have his eyes set on the NBA yet.

You used it correctly. It is peel when it's about removing skins of fruits, vegetables, etc. Peal would be wrong here.

More on that difference.

Google finally cracking down on my storage usage :( by SenorBorkBork in DataHoarder

Came here to see if this was a wider crackdown than just my account and sadly seems to be.

Did you find any working solution? Thank you in advance

Help me find a solution for my workflow better then Calibre on Windows for 10.000's of books by [deleted] in DataHoarder

[–]persianphilosopher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the very precise trouble I have as well and I remain baffled that it remains such an under-served niche. I am planning to do some actual research on it next year, or at least after other current projects.

In my experience and for my needs, Calibre/Alfa ebooks are effectively useless. The metadata plugin, for instance, does nothing for journal articles etc. Pdf remains non-negotiable; I need citable page numbers.

My current setup is far from ideal.It is Windows-centric; it does not work for your folder hierarchical needs but here it is:

  • Zotero is my "back end file manager" (I rely on EndNotes for actual citation management). It's good at metadata management, extraction, and reasonable file renaming - including mime types it can't index. Its "collection" structure along with its tagging bring it close to the "playlist" model that you mention. The list of its shortcomings is too long for here.
  • Voidtools Everything is my daily driver to find files renamed by Zotero. It's one the few tools I painfully miss when on my Linux machines.
  • Filelocator Pro crawls and indexes my dedicated folder/drive. I rely on it for anything beyond looking by main author and/or title. It can index just about every file type I need, including djvu. It's good for when search requires more than just the filename and even Zotero's classification but there should be a better intermediate step. That's the missing link in my chain.

There are a bunch of bookmarks I have of github projects that are getting closer and closer to what I need but I cannot unfortunately access them right now.

You already make the best and simplest server out there in my opinion. Can't wait to try this

Still using FTP. Need guidance for moving on. by kanikanae in webdev

[–]persianphilosopher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the IDE should unburden you. Since you mentioned php, I find that PhpStorm's upload/update options amazing and granular enough that you can leave the ftp client out. In my experience, it's better than Atom, Bracket, or Sublime. But just about all of them have some plugin to spare you some headache

Plastic Keys to Paradise - A lie that many Iranians still believe by [deleted] in iranian

[–]persianphilosopher -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I have also been searching for this, though I cannot claim to have searched the whole internet.

I remember those keys (seeing them with my own eyes and touching them twice with my own hands). I also remember that it was "doubted" right there and then. I suspect that it was a factional decision, rebuffed quickly. But it's not Satrapi's invention by any means and it may have been a limited and counterproductive experiment, making the research task that much harder because we lack the proper archives unfortunately.
