What... the... fuck? People do that sort of thing over twitch?

RSS and a designated slot to consume your feeds in a reasonably systematic manner.

Letting algorithms figure out the presentation of information just doesn't work well for people. Even FT which I read is always putting random crap on the front page and pushing important bits down to the second or third page-down.

It's the power law in action isn't it, the older the work that's still being read, the longer it will be read into the future.

I've been reading all my news on Saturday, I didn't know what happened with SamA at OpenAI for an entire week while it was all anyone would talk about. I just waited until my Saturday slot and now I know probably as much as anyone.

I feel this designated intervals approach is working well for me. You slow down and don't clutter your mind, but at the same time you don't miss anything and probably absorb greater amount of information in a much shorter time.

I wish someone would make a good weekly digest World News newsletter.

Every year I look for one, and every year I come up empty handed. Every newsletter is daily at a minimum.

Economist has a decent round-up for the week. https://www.economist.com/the-world-in-brief

They usually don't cover tech that much, but it's reasonably good politics and business.

The Wikipedia portal is daily but easy enough to scroll through occasionally.

I have a simple script I run to turn this into a daily newsletter: https://github.com/kimberli/wikinews

Happy to also add you to the recipient list!

What's your news source for these Saturdays?

That hasn't changed from before, just regular ones everyone uses.

FT, WSJ, NYT, one Indian paper from back home. I don't read all of course, just pick the ones I want to read from RSS reader and any interesting things I come across on HN and some subreddits, also via RSS.

You are a value investor instead of a day trader :-)

Idk why everyone is piling on this comment, they clearly make a distinction between programming and software engineer.

It's one of those things that show up at very large file sizes isn't it? Most programmers work with tiny text files 99% of the time.

It's annotations make it the best PDF reader for deep reading a document.

Can this add paragraph numbers? I see page numbers in the README, but nothing on how I can number paragraphs.

> Books don't work

Stupidest title I've seen in some time. Maybe there's some additional context I'm missing.

The context you appear to be missing is actually the content of the post. It's often the way with articles: they give a title, which is then expanded upon in the main text.

That's called clickbait.

Even books follow this way.

Shaving one's beard is an artform that I enjoy as much as a painter enjoys painting. What's the world coming to when there are people who do not know a shavette?
