Er, nope. You are mixing it up, I am sorry. Profit = revenue minus all expenses. So if prices are rising, revenue grows but profit stays the same as expenses are driven up too by inflated prices of the factors of production. But it’s a typi

Inflation means price increases across all actors in an economy. Large corporations also have to pay higher production costs now. So all these „profits“ are eaten up by the price increases those corporations see, too. I don’t think you have

Well, that‘s a valid opinion and I am not telling anyone what tools to use. But as a senior I have seen many colleagues moving from one IDE du jour to the next and spending many hours of reconfiguring their tools while I just stuck to using

I second „persp-mode.el“ to be a great early addition to your default setup. I usually do that to separate front end from backend code or source files from remote terminals and/or error logs. Wherever I can I use default key bindings w

Ok, sorry, I did not fact check my comment. I just remembered my French teacher from school making fun about L‘Académie with regard to this and other weird French terms like „baladeur“ instead of Walkman (tm).

Ironically, the French „Académie française“ banned the term „computer“ and established „l‘ordinateur“ instead to keep the language pure. :)

Also we should not forget the history of the MSX platform that is tied to the ASCII Corp. in Tokyo. It was an early 80s startup led by Kazuhiko Nishi who licensed MS Basic and introduced MS products to Japan for the first time. Later it bec

Weirdly, with IEs it was exactly 2083 characters (1) not some base 2 number and MS never increased this number over all these years. This upper limit even included fragments. We tried to do something similar as described in the article and

It seems TeXmacs is MacOS only? Edit: Ah, they only provide MacOS installers on the download page. But they also provide a PPA for Ubuntu and Debian. Weird only ArchLinux and Gentoo provide official packages. https://www.texmacs.

That's what I meant when I said Perlers hate Rakuans. It's an intersting example of "The People's Front of Judea" vs. "The Judean People's Front". I hope you gain inner peace one day again.
