   I'd like to recommend Elm at work but I can't because it's still below a major version of 1, which implies there may be a good deal of rework in the short term. I did get an Elm app upgraded from 0.18 to 0.19 without too much

   I have been trying to get emacs set up how I like it based on my prior experience with spacemacs, using the highest level config settings, with the goal of having the most powerful IDE and document generator I can get while writing as littl

   I presume you're in a warm geographic climate with no AC then. How are the nights? If hot too, how do you sleep through them? Genuine curiosity - I'm from Florida and when power is out for a week due to the last hurricane I sleep

   This makes the most sense to me - everyone makes decisions for lots of reasons, and those who quit over this would probably be thinking about quitting anyways, if only to interview elsewhere.

   If I want to take notes on code in various arbitrary languages I would use emacs because I can evaluate them all in the same note file. I think there are other editors or systems that give one a multi-language notebook. But having already l

   I found Orgmode was amazing for writing LaTeX documents - but I wasn't working with other people. For a few classes I took recently, I used R-markdown. For one class's group paper we all collaborated with the same source file, I s

    I used nix on Ubuntu as my daily driver for nearly a year before installing Nixos. I also installed it on a server and multiple desktops before that. My main pain point with nix on Ubuntu was gui stuff didn't work. But as a build tool

    It's interesting that the cached summary of the `Kerberos` article on Yahoo search has the text of the disambiguated https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerberos_(protocol) , but it's now a disambiguation page that

    At its highest, relative to the USA, USSR per capita gdp was only one third that of the USA. Not that impressive, even if you trust their numbers.

    Here's the case I had, a review from 2014: https://the-gadgeteer.com/2014/06/12/zagg-autofit-bluetooth-... They don't make it anymore, sadly. I loved that it held my 7 inch tablet and worked with it

    I would expect you to be able to get that to work on a Pinephone. I used to carry a tablet with a bluetooth keyboard (clamshell design) that I would ssh into a server to code with (when not using Termux itself as the coding environment). Ag

    I learnt BASIC mostly by myself when I was in elementary school (because programming computers must be cool, and I was sure I could do it). I self-taught myself computing concepts all my life. I self-taught myself Python (in earnest) while

    I know many users have flagged this because moderator, dang, has turned off the flags for this post. I'm sure it would be off the front page by now if he had not. I also know that after some period of relative peace, the Palestinian pe

    This topic is flamewar fuel - to leave out the talking points makes this a one-sided flame-war. Perhaps it is best not to have this discussion here. It flatters neither sides' participants.
