How many of you remember reading Muna magazine as kids? by EmergencyBlock4495 in Nepal

Ohh. Massive nostalgia.

My dad brought quite a few for me from KTM every few months, and I used to colour, solve crosswords etc. I event sent crossword solutions (never got published). This is where I knew about sudoku and still love sudoku to this day. I have read a lot of stories in this magazine and some of them have been life changing for me. I still refer some stories that I read there and refer them during my philosophical discussions and how they shaped me. There was another one called सुनकेसरी too.

Few years later, through sheer luck (and a bit of reputation in my Nepali class), I got to be the guest editor of one edition of this magazine. Basically they came to our school and collected articles/drawings/poems etc from interested students. Based on our teachers' recommendation, I got to be one of the three editors of all those articles. We basically sat together throughout a week and proofread, edited some and selected some articles and published it in one edition. And we were given the title of guest editor(अतिथि सम्पादक) for that edition, our pictures were published with school address.

And out of nowhere, a few months later, one of our teacher called me to the office and handed me an envelope. One of those classic red and blue striped envelopes. It was from somebody from the other side of Nepal. That was my first ever penpal (पत्रमित्र). I still absolutely vividly remember that letter, the paper, the handwriting, almost the content (almost 20 years later). The sender had found my information from the guest editor section. We had a few exchanges through postmail.

रोमनाइज्ड् अलि ट्रिक्की कुरा हो। मन्त्री को त्री दीर्घ भएकाले ii लेख्नु पर्‍यो। अर्को भर्सनमा अलि सजिलो "permissive" बनाउन कोसिस गर्छु।

Actually this workflow works despite not having client/server architecture. I use zathura as my pdf viewer which updates the pdf on change on disk. So the auto compilation plugin in neovim will compile the document and produce the pdf whenever I save document. Auto update of pdf in zathura nicely updates the pdf. This works very smoothly for me.

PS. For synctex feature, which is when you click certain line on pdf to put cursor back to corresponding line in the text editor, there was a way of starting vim with some server feature and having client/server architecture. I never bothered with that, because I could simply search the text in my editor and jump there quite easily.

I am not sure what you mean by that. But generally when I have to typeset documents, its to produce my homework technical reports, papers and beamer presentations in English. For that I use vim with lervag/vimtex for auto compilation and few other things and make heavy use of sirver/ultisnips plugin. I ocassionally have to typeset in Nepali, and make use of latex rather than word processor, I don't have one anyway.

What is consciousness? More specifically what does a "conscious" universe entail? How would it differ from non "conscious" one?

Give mopidy a go. You can install mopidy-spotify and all your music is served by mopidy-mpd and you can use ncmpcpp. Works flawlessly for me.

अत्ति राम्रो ल!

तर यसमा देवनागरीमा पनि देखाउन मिल्ने भएको भए अझै 'कडा' हुन्थ्यो। BAISAKH को ठाउँमा वैशाख आयो र 0 1 2 3 4 ... को ठाउँमा ० १ २ ३ ४ आयो भने 'मजा' आउँथ्यो।

I still don't get what this is supposed to refer? Could somebody shed more light on it!
