   On the last point, I got giddy with excitement when I read SeveneveS because there were plot points about how orbital mechanics worked.

   One lick of alcohol soaked fur was the same amount of alcohol as a full tankard of beer. There was only one "unit" of alcohol. Hence dead cats.

    Just use whichever your social group uses, as they'll likely be helping answer any questions about it. Then, if your friends use emacs, use evil-mode because vim is the best.

    I just came out of an embedded system-sy project, and I did have some tests for my ringbuffs, and sprintf. But tests for any of the interactions between subsystems is quite problematic. And then testing on the device might be problematic du

    The growth in our brain size is related to when we first figured out how to process (cook) food. Lots of food is only considered edible once it's been processed. Look at wheat. Without the great length we go to mill flour, it's

    I think this is a really good example of "Calculation" vs "Choice", as defined in this Extra Credits video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lg8fVtKyYxY TL;DW "Calculations are decisions based solely

    I'm just going through this right now, and it's pretty amazing. I really like how he develops this prototype, and just writes the code which actually solves the problem first, then breaks it up to try and reduce repetition only a

    If you're worried about how to make the game, I really recommend watching some of the handmade hero videos: https://hero.handmade.network/episodes I think it's really cool to see Casey walk through all the steps t

    In insert mode, C-x actually lists the different completion methods, so it's actually accurate. ^X mode (^]^D^E^F^I^K^L^N^O^Ps^U^V^Y) I really like having C-x C-f, which autocompletes file names.

    I think ^ goes the the first non-empty character on the line already. Think of it like the regex. Then 0 (zero) goes to column 0.

    Ahg, no I couldn't do that, I need to keep J as Join lines. That's pretty useful to me. Kinda the inverse of gq.

    It is helpful when the Python doc's search sucks. Also I keep a copy of all the documentation offline, which is good when I don't always have WiFi

    Since everyone is chiming in with their preferred reader, I really like InoReader, and have been using that for the last few years. Works quite well.

    There is some parsing. Try "How far away is the Moon?". Then try "How big is it?". Google even knows how to handle the pronoun "it". But I think this mostly works for facts, as opposed to finding websites.

    As a mathematician, I would like to point out that there are a lot of different areas of math, and higher math isn't just learning more calculus. Graph Theory and Stats, for example. I have no idea what he's talking about with in

    I really think that proof assistants like Coq are going to eventually be the future of math. Once they are less painful to use :( I spent a term working as a research assistant on Coq, proving a new induction scheme for Featherweight Java

    I do agree that VPATH is helpful, but you'd still need to put the Makefile into the build directory in that case, which is distasteful, as it's not a built file. Also you can't really get around specifying the files or search

    I mean, if you're going to be generating it anyways, just generate ninja files. They are faster, but the downside is just that you need to generate them, as opposed to being generic.
