How To Convert A PDF File To Markdown (With Images) In Linux | OSTechnix - DF files are great for sharing documents, but they are not easy to edit or convert into other formats. If you want to convert a PDF to Markdown format (while keeping the images), this guide will show you how to do it using poppler-utils and pandoc, two powerful open-source tools used for document processing.

Linux Is Best

Re-written to be a little clearer, less wordy in some places.

I think this one works nicely.

NixOS is an operating system. An operating system is the main software that lets you use your computer through a user interface. Examples include Microsoft Windows, Apple macOS, Linux, and BSD.

NixOS is a Linux-based operating system. Like Windows or macOS, NixOS can have an easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI). A popular GUI for Linux is called KDE Plasma — it offers a simple, point-and-click environment similar to Windows or macOS. It includes a control panel (called Settings) where you can manage most of your commonly used options.

But for more advanced settings, NixOS is different from most Linux-based operating systems. In fact, it can be easier to use because NixOS relies on one master file to configure nearly everything. This simplifies things, while common settings are still conveniently controlled through KDE Plasma, as mentioned earlier.

The master configuration file is located at: /etc/nixos/configuration.nix

For former macOS users, this file path should be familiar. But for those coming from Microsoft Windows, it might be a bit different. In Windows, a file path would look like this:

C: \ etc \ nixos \ configuration.nix

In contrast, Linux (like macOS and BSD) uses a file path structure like:

/ etc / nixos / configuration.nix

This means you don't use a drive letter, and instead of a backslash \ you use a forward slash /

Fun fact: Microsoft Windows is the only mainstream operating system that hasn't fully adopted this universal directory path structure. Even mobile devices like Apple iOS and Android use this format under the hood.

In Microsoft Windows, you use File Explorer to navigate your folders. In Apple macOS, you use Finder. In NixOS with KDE Plasma, you use Dolphin.

Additionally, what sets NixOS apart from many other Linux distributions is that it is immutable. This means the root system is protected and can be easily recovered. If something goes wrong, you can simply reboot and select a previous save. It's similar to restoring a saved game with a timestamp from the boot menu. This feature makes NixOS more secure, stable, and easier to recover from problems.

Linux Is Best

Trying to make this "stupid, smart".

Or, to put it another way, trying to word this in away that a dumb people knowing nothing, can understand this, and feel smart once they have read it. But while trying to keep it really simple, without being overwhelming.

NixOS is an operating system, and an operating system is the software user interface that allows you to use your computer. An example would be, Microsoft Windows, Apple macOS, Linux, and BSD.

NixOS particularly is a Linux-based operating system. NixOS, like Microsoft Windows or Apple macOS, can offer an easy-to-use, graphic user interface (GUI). A common and popular GUI for Linux is called, KDE Plasma. KDE Plasma, offers a very easy-to-use, point and click, environment, similar to Windows or Apple, but not identical, including a control panel (called, Settings), for most of your commonly used settings.

But for the more in-depth settings, NixOS is not like most Linux-based operating systems. In fact, it can be easier to use because, NixOS uses 1 master file to configure nearly everything, except for the previously mentioned common settings which are still conveniently controlled in KDE Plasma.

This master configuration file is located at: /etc/nixos/configuration.nix

For previous Apple macOS users, this file path will be easy to understand. But for those of you coming from Microsoft Windows, unlike, Microsoft Windows, which file path would have been:

C:\etc\nixos\configuration.nix

Linux, like macOS and BSD use

/etc/nixos/configuration.nix

Meaning, you do not use a drive letter, and instead of a backlash \ you use a forward slash /

Fun fact: Microsoft Windows, is the only mainstream operating system, which has not yet adapted this universal standard, and under the hood, even mobile devices such as Apple iOS and Android, use this directory path structure.

Additionally, what separates NixOS from many other Linux developments is it an immutable Linux distribution (distro). Meaning, the root system is protected and also recoverable, meaning if something were to go wrong, you can reboot and select the previous save. This makes NixOS more secure, stable, and easier to recover if anything were to go wrong.

"So that we won't say we didn't know"

A #documentation project by citizens of #Israel that proves you can know what is going on in #Gaza and the #WestBank, if you care to not close your eyes.

»The Daily File is an independent voluntary project by Israeli citizens wishing to bring attention to numeric, visual, documentary information about the daily goings-on in the West Bank and in the Gaza Strip, the interface of #Palestinians and the Israeli security forces and colonists.«

CW / Content warning:

The linked website also documents photography and videos showing what is happening, including wounded human beings and corpses of all ages.

QUnit

Ever wondered how beforeEach works in unit test frameworks? Check out our new lifecycle diagram!

qunitjs.com/lifecycle/

People generally guess right when it comes to ordering, so why a diagram?

We want to show that the order is guaranteed, and showcase what's possible when you depend on it.

Thanks to FND, Jan, and NullVoxPopuli for improving and promoting this work! H/T @FND @simulo @nullvoxpopuli

Imagine a test with global hooks, and a Parent and Child module that use hooks also. The execution order is: 1. Parent module runs the before hook. 2. Every test in the Parent module inherits context from the before hook, and repeats as follows: call global beforeEach, parent beforeEach, the actual test, parent afterEach, and lastly the global afterEach. 3. The Child module inherits context from the Parent before hook, and then runs its own before hook. 4. Every test in the Child module inherits context from this before hook, and repeats as follows: call global beforeEach, parent beforeEach, child beforeEach, the actual test, child afterEach, parent afterEach, and lastly the global afterEach.
