   Google chrome, firefox, edge, ie, opera, are now tracking you.

   ddg is my favorite search engine and it has great restutes. It has a built in video player too! The only problem is that i have to use google in a blue moon to get the results it need. Duckside! Brave! Lunix!

• Women perform better in cognitive tests when menstruating, study finds

  Also, these totally unrelated stories. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=older+women+misinformation&df=m&ia=web I have a loved one getting an emergency hysterectomy (and then what follows) so I guess it's on my mind. - Source: Hacker News / about 8 hours ago

• History of the Paper Clip

  Recently I have been fascinated by the awesomeness of wire bending machines. Has anyone done any really funky stuff purely with wire bending? I am thinking furniture scale creations, green walls, giant sculpture, etc. Haven't quite got the timespace to build one but should be straightforward assuming small guage wire. There are some open source ones published:... - Source: Hacker News / about 16 hours ago

• Show HN: Minimalist, Walkie-Talkie for Startups

  It's deskbound (until 2027 it looks like) so that rules out worksites but is far too constrained (and pretty) for traders and military use. You list "product development", "leaders", and "international teams" as potential roles, but as evidenced by the responses in this thread, many people who do product development treat synchronous voice comms as an abomination. The closest I can imagine would be call centers --... - Source: Hacker News / 3 days ago

• The Canon Cat, the forgotten 1987 alternate-reality Mac (2019)

  Lots of 2-key keyboards exist, and are even for sale inexpensively. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=2+button+keyboard&t=ftsa&iar=images Not very convenient for having both buttons near your thumbs, though. I've been trying out the related SwyftCard for Apple //e on the izapple2 emulator. https://github.com/ivanizag/izapple2

    ./a2sdl -model swyft.

• De-Googling, So Far

  If you're using the DDG Web site, and a bookmark, can you force the language in the bookmark? Example: https://duckduckgo.com/?kl=us-en&kad=en_US. - Source: Hacker News / 6 days ago

• 37signals announces next ONCE product: Workbooks, to release for free

  "But it's surprisingly challenging to publish books on the web in nice, cohesive, tight, easy-to-navigate HTML format." Quarto is one great option for doing that today. Bonus: it can also generate EPUBs and PDFs, all from one set of source files. https://quarto.org/ It's free and open source. https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-cli https://jjallaire.github.io/hopr/. - Source: Hacker News / 14 days ago

• Ask HN: Best way for a Markdown based blog and eBook?

  I've used Quarto[1] to build a personal blog and it has been really easy and straightforward. Especially if you want to run some code alongside the post (like Python, R, or Julia). As far as I know, you can also use it to write books and presentations. [1]: https://quarto.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 20 days ago

• Scipy 1.13

  > Interactive examples have been added to the documentation, allowing users to run the examples locally on embedded Jupyterlite notebooks in their browser. This might sound strange, but to me this is the most exciting thing listed in the update document. I've been looking for ways to include _interactive_ Python scripts on static webpages (such as those made using Jupyter Book [1] or Quarto [1]. Up to now the only... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• Sent – simple plaintext presentation tool

  Deckset was the OG in this space, which I used a decade (!) ago in college. Looks like they moved off the Mac App Store, and are bringing out an iOS app now: https://www.deckset.com Now I much prefer something like https://quarto.org with dataviz. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Sent – simple plaintext presentation tool

  To mirror another comment: I really like the concept and will give it a try. As an alternative, I want to suggest [Quarto](https://quarto.org) - somewhat similar, easy to use, one might even call it "basic" (I mean that in a good way!) 7/5 ^^. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago
