Interesting project! The real question is, how fast does it compile, let's say 10K articles, assuming we have a large website?

As a GNU / Linux Debian user, I personally use many different PDF readers for eccentric reasons lol!

My preference by far is qpdfview, but I also use Okular (KDE), Evince, its fork for MATE desktop environment, Atril, and of course xpdf!


Pieter Levels has already done this and it's scary!

See this link https://photoai.com/ and this link https://interiorai.com/


Yeah man, i saw that too. It's crazy how we used to hire professional photographers for full day events. Throwback to my college graduation shots.

Now it's just selfies and AI.


> the process feels broken.

Yes and no; what do I mean with that...yes, it looks like the system it's fundamentally broken and at the same time, no it's not because it has always been this way, thus the expected output.

The problem with it right now is that history repeat itself, as the current market symptoms are the same (more or less) as those back in 2000 when dot com bubble was about to burst!

They were asking for unrealistic stuff and you could tell from the amount of money poured in the tech industry that something was completely off, which eventually confirmed everyone's suspicion.

I have been looking for a job myself for a while now and let me tell you, it's a complete mad chaos out there, especially with the AI frenzy everyone and their mother is talking about.

Hold on tight, don't stop and keep on looking for anything, until the storm calms down.

Good luck!


Tell them that you are slow thinker and you need your time to think thoroughly so you can come back with answers.

If they don't believe you, tell them Derek Sivers, the CD Baby creator is also a slow thinker https://sive.rs/slow


I would avoid that phrase since people may take it to mean you're admitting to being bad at thinking and therefore not a very useful employee.

Instead, I'd spin it to say you need more time to investigate thoroughly to give them an accurate answer.


Agreed. Saying you don't know is bad enough in some dysfunctional organizations. (viewed as a good thing in healthy organizations)


Now you understand why people have no other choice than to use ad blockers...for this exact reason you have just shared with us!


Seems like elinks is affected too...bummer!


You need to add the LICENSE file that's missing from README.md


done thanks bro!


English language can be a landmine if you are not careful, especially as a foreigner! lol


You piqued my interest - in what language is the literal translation of "dickhead" not insulting? And what does it imply in that language?


In the UK words like that can also equally be used as terms of endearment amongst friends... context is everything.


I don't think that's a UK thing, but rather just a close friends thing, which I experienced across multiple cultures. I recall a particular incident as a kid when my dad forcefully told me "Don't talk to me like that; I'm not your friend" and that stuck with me - you need to adapt your tone to the audience.


The last thing I expected was to get downvoted for just saying "English language can be a landmine if you are not careful, especially as a foreigner! lol".

English language uses words such as pussy that supposedly mean a cat, but at the same time they interpret it as vagina; another word is the name Dick which also is being used to mean phallus!

...and the best one is spotted dick which is literally a British steamed pudding! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spotted_dick

Meanwhile, I get downvoted for commenting the obvious thing which is, English language is absurdly confusing for me as a foreigner and have no idea what to say without offending every English speaker!


Not only bookmarked, but also saved as PDF for future reference!

The only "change" I usually do when I save important documents is to use "Andada ht_2015" font which is the most appealing font, at least to my eyes.

Great job Gabor, I love this type of content!
