Firstly, thanks for your message, it genuinely made me smile :)

As for your questions:

- No plans to open source it, unless I stop working on it.

As for the roadmap, it is extensive. In random order (both in terms of importance and release horizon) I am planning:

- exports as archives (if I remember properly, .cbr and .cbz formats are just renamed .rar and .zip respectively) as you mentioned

- proper font selection/customization (and eventually, bring your own) as you surmised

- workflow improvements (shortcuts, bulk commands vs current clicking item by item)

- specifying bubble type, from visual type (text in closed bubble opaque or not, text over background) to purpose
(speech, onomatopeia, in-world written text, meta explanation) and source (who is talking, to whom, etc)

- moving the current "zoom" level from chapter to series: link to Knowledge Base, for easier lexical reference
(with regards to man(ga|hwa|hua) names are often transcriptions of
foreign words / names which are often translated back with varying degrees of success).

- multiplayer

- making the app not just usable but ergonomic on mobile screens

- a lot more.

I will add a roadmap section on the app.

Origin story:

I worked as a translator (handwritten medical forms, business communications) during my studies and got interested in what was considered the state of the art for CAT tools. I ended up building my own out of scripts, macros and rule-based processing because nothing provided the ease, flexibility and low overhead I was looking for.

With nekostrips, I am convinced I can deliver a compelling tool for comics.

If you or anyone else feels like discussing further, you can contact me through the form on the app, or on social networks.
Since I looked it up out of curiousity:

We shouldn’t rely on unplanned pregnancies for the birth rates. There are other strategies.

Electron is absolutely unbeatable when it comes to being cross-platform. Because its core is the same as Chromium, every time Chromium, the biggest browser engine without question, is updated to run better, more stable on every platform, and big companies pump millions of dollars into it, Electron gets it "for free". Very hard to compete with that. Additionally, writing Electron applications has a relatively low entry point because it resembles writing web pages to some extent.
Moody's to Withdraw Credit Ratings on Russian Entities
Interesting that they don’t mention vasalgel.
That gives me a pretty cynical idea: the companies pushing GMOs should start funding and supporting groups who are vocal about the claimed adverse health effects of GMOs. That opposition is easy to argue against in public debate, and the resulting noise conveniently drowns out the real problems. Controlled opposition I think it's called.

Not surprisingly, I've learned about this concept from the Russian government.
None of them are 100% effective, even ones that sound 100% effective.
The more I dive into this rabbit hole of complexity, the more I enjoy running things on a JVM and an application server.

I get HW/SW decoupling, platform independence, standardization, predictable technical debt and clustering at a fraction of the complexity.
I suspect the overall resource efficiency is way higher too.
Note that "containers" is basically kernel-implemented namespaces, which is why a containerized app can be checkpointed and restored independently: they can preserve the semantics of kernel resources across runs. You could have just about any arbitrary app running in a "container" with it being none-the-wiser about it: it doesn't necessarily impact userspace support.
No birth control is 100% effective other than abstinence.
This should be improved further. Add a scanner to read handwritten answer and post it as the response.
At this point its hard to come up with interesting arguments. I don't like electron as much as the next guy, but if you ever tried to develop a desktop app you can easily appreciate Electron for what it is.

Anyway heres some other choices might be viable these days:
- Flutter desktop https://flutter.dev/multi-platform/desktop
- Jetbrains Compose https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/compose-mpp/

IMO immediate mode guis should be option as well, like imgui, egui. (But afaik you basically throw accessibility out of the window)

Only in a very limited way. As we move forward, we are quickly reaching the point where for more and more time, renewables can carry the whole grid load alone. Nuclear power plants would have to be switched off in those times. And while they can follow the load over a large part of their power output, they can't be swithed off and on again. So as the transition to renewables progresses, nuclear power plants are less and less a good counterpart.
Gas plants however are. They are very quick and switching them off is possible and saves precious fuel. As the transition progresses, they should use less and less fuel as they are used more rareley and the fuel could be switched to renewable sources (bio, power2gas). The pre-war plans of the current German government included extending the gas infrastructure but with a clear ability for new installations to be also able to use H2 as it becomes available.

I agree, brandishing SS symbols is misplaced and wrong by however few actually do it. Honestly, you opened my eyes a bit.

Let be real: I've worked on the R&D stage of a Chinese research project for a State supported Ancestor Worship software where people's ancestors are recreated in 3D, their "ancestorial home" is made available in pieces and parts the software user must purchase with real currency, and the user is encouraged to discuss their day to day life issues with their observing and consoling animated ancestors. The software is a complete Orwellian Spy while masquerading as all your ancestors listening, offering advice, and demanding gifts that cost real currency. To say the least, I spooked the hell out of that situation.

Well, this is a peer reviewed paper, arguing quite coherently that the handling of the pandemic in Sweden did not follow scientific methods, and they have a ton of references to back up that opinion. If you are aware of similar papers arguing against this opinion, please provide links.
Mostly because we're looking at new ways of extracting it. Most well known is the Tesla parent for extracting from mud. Most well known because Tesla, but there are lots of other companies looking at different extraction methods.

This tool of yours can not cope with files not existing, and causes production outages? Yet somehow you manage to blame bash for this? The outcome would not have been different if systemd or python started your tool.

In fact, handling that types of errors is what bash is suitable for. "If file is readable, process it" is not an unusual construct. Please do take care however to avoid races if this directory is a spool directory that can be populated at any time, in which case it is useful that rename() is atomic, sometimes an additional working directory is required. Again, this is how the operating system is designed and nothing the shell can gloss over.

I have seen many problems from previously unknown race conditions when concurrency is increased. Scripts have to be kept composable and trivial to understand in order to guard against that.

To be honest, I would argue to remove any script that looks like the last example above. It is not clear what side effects of that bizarre array construct are useful to the system. Keep scripts as simple and readable as possible, a trivial truth perhaps, applicable to every language, but one that needs to be reiterated until the end of our profession.
While I'm unaware of an ejection seat which blows the tail off the aircraft backward with another shaped charge, there's nothing preventing this.
On Windows and Mac I make application shortcuts directly in Chrome. These use the same amount of resources as an ordinary tab, but appear just like a desktop application. I have dock/taskbar icons for Gmail, calendar, YouTube music, ect.

I don't use Linux, but given that Edge also supports this, I suspect that you can do this with Chromium.

I'm not on my computer, but the steps are to hit the hamburger menu, select create shortcut, and then select the checkbox. The words vary, but it's usually something like "run in separate window" or "run as application."
The other strategies are clearly not working though. Birth rates have at best stayed steady or declined.
> it creates real demographics problems in that few young people need to support many old people

I think this problem is overrated, because at the same time they need to support many less children, youth and young adults. In other words, the ratio `adult workforce` vs. (`retired` + `children` + `in education`) is decreasing only very slowly. And we need a price tag for each of these elements to better assess its impact: How expensive is education and child care per person per year compared to pensions per person per year?

The figure that really matters for the future is purchasing power parity (PPP) per capita. This figure has been rising steadily in most industrialized countries for most of the years. There are no signs that this will change, even if birth rates continue to decline. This means that, regardless the demographic trend, more goods and services are available to everyone on average every year. The real problem is to stop the trend that only part of society benefits from economic growth.
Feynman and the Map of the Cat
The current service is to Liverpool Street high level, staying on one signalling communication system. The problem is about changing to a different one for the core (which includes Whitechapel before Liv St). They had a similar problem on the other side but it was resolved easier.
The first two sentences are so badly wrong I don’t even know which thread to pull on to unravel your thought processes. (I can’t speak for the third).

Do you believe that “natural” is tautologically equivalent to “good”?
If the body broke it down it wouldn’t be effective, so it would pass through and be expelled like most everything else the body is confused what to do with.

Anything that affects mammalian fertility can have downstream effects unless the molecule is particularly unstable. Instability however is contrary to a birth control business model, as it introduces uncertainty (see: biodegradable conditions).
Given that the paper is published in Nature you should certainly write the editor if you found any clear factual errors.
four source photos

Is it just 4 or are there more?

I find it hard to believe there is only 4. There are clearly more data in video

This is not running X on any network, just sharing access to the resources that the containerized app needs to find the X server on the same host. There's probably an equivalent incantation for Wayland, too.
The tunnels do actually start immediately to the west of Stratford station, around Pudding Mill Lane. The new line follows a different route from the existing main line into Liverpool Street - meeting up with the other branch in Stepney and then via the new station at Whitechapel. When trains start travelling through to Paddington they will take this route.

This means that the boundary between the mainline signalling and the new CBTC signalling in the core is at Stratford. But this only applies to trains taking the new route; services on the existing GEML/Shenfield Electric lines continue to use mainline AWS/TPWS signalling, which is why there hasn’t been any impact on services to date.
I don't think so but I don't have a source. Please someone correct me if I am wrong

This is what Flatpak (https://flatpak.org/) is designed for.. why would you use docker?
I am actually running a few of my daily applications, such as firefox, vscode, or spotify inside a podman container (rootless makes me feel a little safer). I build a small python script around it, which creates a desktop icon, tags the current version (so you can rollback), and updates the images after x amount of time. I'll clean it up and put it on github if someone is interested :)

The original High Speed rail from St Pancras to Paris seemed to have gone quite well.

Crossrail appears to have had bonuses to the original management for constructing the tunnels, I’m not too sure on the details but what is far more galling that the illusion of a Dec 2018 carried on to a few months before.

Warning I’ve just read snippets following this, so following could well be wrong:

Seemingly enough time had been scheduled to run the trains to shake out systems, as well as finish building.

Bond Street build was delayed due to the site being tight, the original contractors were replaced by TfL itself.

Enough time to run tests on the fittings so that the could be proven to be in compliance hadn’t be catered for. If this was an issue I would have thought that could have been started much earlier.

Signalling issues, as mentioned. The trains have to integrate with three different signalling systems.

I believe Project Management itself grew from the UK government having early issues with delivery. Systems aren’t getting any simpler.

A society that can plan, fund, build, and maintain large to huge infrastructure projects would have a huge advantage.
I don't know what qualifues a s quirk, but I sometimes had to think about stuff like "who's PID 0", "do I have the CAP_WHATEVER capability", "I need to 'reap' subprocesses?" and other stuff that 'just works' when you have a decent system with a decent init process and all the other things.

> Why aren't there any real alternatives to Electron?

Because it's not as easy as it seems to create a proper cross-platform framework. And even if there was an alternative, these days you often need rich text, images, videos, etc. all of which are essentially HTML pages. So you'd end up adding a webview anyway, which is getting quite close to being Electron.

And I think that's the key - why create an "alternative" to Electron if you end up bundling webviews, ffmpeg, libpng and so on. It might be a bit smaller in size than Electron but not enough that it matters.
The complexity of our current civilization. It is truly inconceivable. Let's take a widely-used, complex software package, such as MS Windows - it alone is inconceivably complex, and, on the grand scale of civilization, it's just a speck of dust.

Also, our ability to keep this inconceviably complex system in a relatively stable state (for now...) is also mind blowing.

We have too many database products.
The number of humans that can live on this planet simultaneously is a function of technology.

If we all lived like hunters and gatherers, the population limit would be a mere few tens of millions.

Conversely, if we imagine arbitrary technology, the maximum population that can live simultaneously and sustainably on this world is somewhere in the trillions.

Technology such as the stuff you’re trying to use as evidence there’s too many of us, is in fact the technology that allows there to be more of us.

> it seems tactless to make such a comment on a thread where the founders are announcing their product (…) to say you're double guessing the price just seems like something you should keep to yourself.

If you identify a pain point and keep it to yourself, you’re doing a disservice to the founders. If they charge too much and no one ever tells them, the business will fail and they won’t learn why. Honest (polite) feedback is more beneficial than trying to spare their feelings.
