  1. Maybe you will also be interested in Cython+: "Multi-core concurrent programming in Python" [0].

  2. I fixed the title
  3. I curate a list[1] of "FOSS tools to improve the Hacker News experience". HNReader has just been added to it.

  4. Files are tracked by a bare git repository, e.g. `~/.dotfiles`.

    The trick is to use the combination of --git-dir and --work-tree git options. An alias can be defined to simplify the process: `alias dotfiles='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles/ --work-tree=$HOME'`.

    `dotfiles` can be used as you would use `git`, e.g.:

    - `dotfiles add <file>`

    - `dotfiles commit [options]`

  5. I have always used paper.

    But there are some things I would like to improve, see [1].

  6. Interesting idea. I'll keep that in mind.
  7. You reminded me of Watchy[1] (which I completely forgot about). It is a good contender.

  8. Phones are generally too bulky for my liking. I prefer to have something simple and light. And I care way less if it's stolen or lost.
  9. Not exactly, I'm looking for something more minimalist.
  10. Perfection.
  11. > What would be the benefit of a "pager-like device" over it?

    - Adding items remotely

    - Automatic item sorting

    - Pre-made lists

  12. I would like to use a pager-like device as a grocery shopping list. But a pager isn't quite what I'm looking for (I think).

    Basically, I need a small device that can fit in a pocket, with a long battery life, a simple display, and a few buttons. Bonus points if it's cheap and easily hackable.

    What are the options?

  13. I maintain a list[1] of FOSS tools that improve the Hacker News experience. You might be interested in the CLI & TUI section[2].

  14. The lack of a license on small projects is often an oversight. And anyway, when the authors are notified, they choose the first license they see --- often MIT.
