I've been using ledger (the original one) for the last couple of months, and I'm loving it. I'm way into the whole plain text accounting thing. I guess it's the most obvious question in the world, but: what are the big r

"A Beautiful Way to Interface". Ugh. Yeah, it's really terrible.

Couldn't agree more. It's a biased presentation of the facts, and could easily be reframed. Take "compliance costs are astronomic", for instance, could just as easily be rephrased "Companies spend more money than ev

You do not own Mount Everest, you have no right to it. I don't know why you think this, but that is delusional. You can go there because the Nepal allows it, but it is in no way your "right" to do so. Becoming an adult is rec

It is one of the great wonders of the natural world, and it is a place that many people hold to be very special. It is, in a way, an almost "sacred" place, in a weird secular sense. It is not just any other mountain. There's

I feel like, at this point, climbing Everest is starting to become morally questionable. There has been much reporting that Everest is starting to have a serious trash problem, as well as having many dead bodies strewn all over the path to

What would be a concrete problem you could solve with SAT solvers, besides the obvious "satisfy this boolean expression" (which doesn't exactly come up every day)? Is it a useful tool for other NP-complete problems? I mean, c

Why does one preclude the other? "Free public transport" and "give poor people money" can both be excellent policies, there's no reason one should only pick one. The point with specifically making public transport f

Poor people shouldn't be punished because upper- and middle-class people are narrow-minded.

Generally speaking, regardless of what your local laws are, "don't have sex with unconcious people, ever" is a good policy to have as a human being.

For the purpose it was intended (i.e. mathematical analysis of the notion of "computation") it's not worse. It is, in fact, far superior to almost any other system like that. The point of lambda calculus isn't to be able

Setting aside the article for one second, I just want to mention that the author is a hell of a font designer, and his Triplicate Code is my favorite programming font at the moment [0]. It has all the styles you would want (light strokes, h

You should check out EXAPUNKS if you haven't. It similar to SHENZEN I/O, but I like better.

It sounds like you guys aren't aware of EXAPUNKS, which is Zachtronics newest game. It's my favorite of the whole bunch, you guys should check it out! You get a hacker zine to print out along with it!

There are many game engines do some form of hot code reloading of the game scripting code (as opposed to engine code). Unity supports it for C#, for instance (though it's finicky, you have to program with hot reloading in mind).

I used to use "smart" tools like that, but I've more and more gone back to the "dumber" grep tools. It turns out, they're usually faster, they're almost exactly as reliable, and they're way more flexi

This is very cute and all but... you know... don't actually do this! Please. Even if you make it so that it doesn't break the back button or history, URLs are things that people copy and paste and send to people. They are put into

Wow, I had no idea those things were maintained by the same guy! That's amazing! Is there somewhere one can contribute to his development efforts? I guess just donate to GNU Foundation?

Yeah, in Sweden it's trivial to do your taxes: you log into a website online, you check that the salary number seems accurate, and if you have no amendments, you just click "OK" (more or less). You sign it with something call

I don't agree. Lets say someone steals your computer and is able to log in: if you save all your passwords in Chrome this way, you're done. Every password to every site you've ever logged into will be compromised. You've

The problem comes when you need to use any kind of hardware, all the drivers would have to be part of your app. The "unikernel" concept however does some version of this: loads a kernel which only supports the minimal amount of fu

You're missing the point entirely. Maps have no defined order. You cannot "change" the order of a map, because it has no order. `[foo:1 bar:2]` is the same map as `[bar:2 foo:1]`, there is no difference. For printing purposes

I'm not a lawyer, but I presume Sweden has laws governing patient privacy. Even if not, Sweden certainly has the GDPR.
