LOL, are you fucking kidding me… One of the points of the blog post is that web browsing in Emacs allows you to integrate browser work and Emacs work, which for me is the most compelling one. But you can possibly achieve something similar b

Just yesterday, I tried it the other way around with a terminal emulator in the browser using FireSSH [1]. However, I’m not sure whether it is particularily safe to have a SSH connection to localhost in Firefox. It also needs some key-rebin

There is a similar, but less mathematical and pretty old book called Artforms of Nature by Ernst Haeckel (1904) [1]. It’s in the public domain. [1] https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Kunstformen_der_Natur

By Occams Razor, however, it’s probably better to assume that it formed spontaneously on Earth: "Just turning on the spark in a basic pre-biotic experiment will yield 11 out of 20 amino acids." [1] [1]: https://en.wikip

The SOL Vision monitor [1] is currently the only affordable screen in that regard (without hacking). It's specifically built for outdoor applications and has HDMI, VGA, and RCA/AV input, but unfortunately it’s limited to 1024 by 7

The rockstar metaphor always strikes me as unprofessional because it seems so incompatible with team work. Why aren’t there any rockstars in other areas of engineering?
