A nice thing about Org-Mode is that you can keep an active todo list in one file for daily tasks and then at the end of the day send all done items to an archive file (C-c C-x C-a). That way, you still have all your tasks in a searchable fo

I'm curious if you can put your finger on exactly why you find it fun? (While I've never used CL, I do use Clojure and similarly find it huge amounts of fun.)

IME, it has usually stemmed from "that's how everyone else is doing it, so we should too" without considering specific use/business cases. Senior management were simply not willing to deviate from the norm.

I've worked in data for a while now as an Data Engineer, Data Scientist, and Director and working with experienced software engineers has highlighted to me that most of the data stack is fluff. All the layers/tools that are heaped

Last year, we began testing Polars with TypeScript because I'd heard great things about it for Python in terms of performance and usability. Unfortunately, I ran into bugs that first morning that stopped us in our tracks. I'll def

Back when I worked in scientific programming, we adopted a similar approach. The heavy lifting functions we wrote in C, but they were called from R which allowed us to plot the results, etc., easily. And the libraries we used (for solving d
