Saying Obsidian uses just TXT files suggest, that I could use any editor and that Obsidians file format is compatible with any editor. That is technically the truth, but the problem is, that if I decide to use another editor I might get problems because of the lacking ability to usefully edit the metadata. So, if I use Obsidian, the files are de facto not compatible with other editors.

Of course I could switch off of Obsidian and I have the raw data, so I am not locked in. But I think stating that obsidan uses just txt files without any explanation is a bit misleading.

But a lot of meta-data is stored somewhere extra.

Ok, I get that the Date API is problematic, but I wouldn’t expect anything meaningfull from new Date("not a date").getTime() anyway. Why would you in the first place?

Yes. Sorry. I expected everyone to know this, but in hindsight this is of course a bad assumption.

Guess I must turn in my programmer-badge.

I have searched a bit more. The transition is in process since 2023. [1] I don’t find any announcement though.

It looks like the process is now finished and the github repository is now the official main source. There are other news sites claiming this. [2]

It looks like the main repository. The “How to submit a patch” mentions even the github repository. Even though it does not accept pull requests it seems to be not just a mirror.

Thx and sorry. My spelling skills are bad.

22-bit RSA integer

If its true it is a big “achivement”, but it still did not broke RSA.

The channel owner directly states that it is their intention to mislead. I did see the disclaimer on the channel after looking up the “artist” and before making this post, but that disclaimer is not visible on the thumbnail preview and the video description omits any reference to it. The inclusion of the year in the video title as well as the hashtags all attempt to work their way into the feeds of those not in the know to convince them that it is legitimate.

I agree in that regard.

I mean, yes it is garage, but:

• This Popsie Funk channel is upfront, that the music is AI generated. (Link for convinience: https://www.youtube.com/@PopsieFunk )
• There are probably channels out there, that are not upfront and YouTube won’t be able to detect them.
• Why are you listening to the youtube recommendations? Why are you looking at the recommendations? What are you expecting there in the first place?
• Also you can train your recomendations pretty well, by opening videos you don’t like and give them a thumbs down.

Yes, it is still bad.

Do you have a minute for our lord and savoir TypeScript?

While Gamers Nexus does some decent work, he suffers from what a lot of youtubers suffer: clickbait titles, sponsored segments, unnecessary long videos, etc.

Some find this so annoying, that they downvote this kind of content.

Also that asus scammed gamers nexus is not that relevant for most of us. I am not saying its irrelevant, but there are bigger news.

While you are basically right, the problem is that there is an operator that should not exist. Though that is not the biggest problem of JavaScript.

That’s why vegan != arch user. If you are vegan, you can not avoid the topic. Arch user could avoid the topic.

Well, if you put it that way … yes.

You can use a JavaScript to assembly converter so you get the same pain on your personal projects.
