I think he was being sarcastic, playing with words. Meaning, that you trade in time, runtime and memory and get nothing in return :D so a pretty bad trade haha.
Of course it’s worse, I mean, that was the point of this blogpost, wasn’t it? :p It’s just a (long) joke.
Speaks to the fact that we apparently need better and new alternatives or make current tools easier to use.
Certain aspects of discord seem to resonate with people (unfortunately…).
Man pages are great as mentioned, but maybe not as accessible to some people. Are there tools to generate more convenient resources (e.g. wikis) from that? Similar to how generating technical documentations from (structured) code comments.
I think this is more a case of the triangle inequality in metric spaces, as you don’t have to calculate any particular edge to see the shortcut, as well as that it applies to any even non-rectangular triangle.
First, many people don’t know how to use WYSIWYG word processing programs, you’revery right about that!
Second, both systems have overlapping use cases which makes it difficult to differentiate between “technically better” and “better in my opinion”, i.e. objectively vs. subjectively.
Finally, use what tool you’re nist comfortable with. But you may want to invest time to get more comfortable with another tool, if your current one isn’t suitable for your job.
PS: things I do repeatedly, I do best in LaTeX. Because for other things I’ve already forgotten how to do them and have to re-learn them each time, which might be more time consuming than using other tools (or just Markdown with LaTeX support hehe)
Isn’t screen sharing working since some time? Works even on WebEx from Firefox, can pick any window to share. Granted a few years back it didn’t work, but now it does. Maybe it’s a zoom bug… 🤔
Depends on what you wanna do. Also it’s a matter of preferences. For anything more complex than a simple letter or a table I’m using Latex. But although I love Latex, I must acknowledge that for some it’s not the right tool.
It has advantages and disadvantages as everything in life ;) Ask your favorite search engine or LLM what those are, I don’t feel qualified to elaborate on that.
