Project mention: Vala Programming Language | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-08

> it was designed to resemble C#

I actually first heard of Vala just a few days ago when I was looking at a C#-related PR[1] for highlight.js:

> This fails the tests as the Vala default.txt is recognized now as C#. However, Vala is very close in syntax to C#, and the default.txt also seems to be valid C# so not sure what to do about this.

• ipyflow

  A reactive Python kernel for Jupyter notebooks.

  

Project mention: Show HN: Marimo – an open-source reactive notebook for Python | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-12

You're probably referring to nbgather (https://github.com/microsoft/gather), which shipped with VSCode for a while.

nbgather used static slicing to get all the code necessary to reconstruct some cell. I actually worked with Andrew Head (original nbgather author) and Shreya Shankar to implement something similar in ipyflow (but with dynamic slicing and a not-as-nice interface): https://github.com/ipyflow/ipyflow?tab=readme-ov-file#state-...

I have no doubt something like this will make its way into marimo's roadmap at some point :)

Project mention: Quick way to change fonts? | /r/ObsidianMD | 2023-06-13

That said Markdown is compatible with HTML, so you could use elements to wrap sections of text in custom fonts. This is essentially how the Highlightr plugin works https://github.com/chetachiezikeuzor/Highlightr-Plugin

Project mention: How is the PDF reading experience after 3.4 update? | /r/RemarkableTablet | 2023-06-08

In reMarkable's stock output, highlighted text is not textured with PDF annotations, and so its highlights are not readable by any PDF client. You would still need to use third-party software for that. The only two I know of are RCU and remarks.

So, here's the story in short. I'm making an IDE using PyQt6 (GitHub) and I want to add Gist support. My IDE currently has Pastebin support, which doesn't require any logins. The issue with implementing Gist is, that you'll have to log in to GitHub. So my question is, how can I locally store the user's passwords safely?
