Looks like the already insanely good Org-mode has got a bit better. I'm always amazed at the incredible pace of Org-mode development. The link to MobileOrg ( http://mobileorg.ncogni.to/ ) is what really got my attention though, Org-mode on

This typifies the trap I think a lot of us fall into sometimes, particularly programmers. We get so caught up in trying to find technical solutions to a perceived problem that we don't take a step back and ask if what we're trying to do mak

We're just talking about LaTeX's math mode here. Are there any more concise and easier ways to type math on a normal keyboard and have it display in a pretty way?

What profits though? The profits of free collaborative news site with adverts are always going to be very low on a per-user basis. How much money can you get for showing ads to 1 person? Unless you're saying that it should just be the very

Exactly, if I don't have time to read it now then how come I'm browsing around finding links. And if I do have time to read it now but am choosing not then I will probably continue to choose not to.

In what possible world would the "share" assigned to each user ever be amount to something big enough to be visible with the naked eye? Sorry to be snarky but this idea seems so ridiculously silly that I just can't comprehend how anyone cou

Yes, an email address to answer a frivolous online poll is pretty extreme.

Now I don't agree with his points exactly either. But you and I know full well what he meant when he said "Esoteric Languages". Arguing with people by intentionally misinterpreting their statements just makes you look stupid and it lowers t

It just seems so bizarre that there's so much worry over a company releasing some code. It's a good thing! You can argue all you like about whether they made good technical decisions but be angry that they released some code for free is jus

Absolutely awesome. Waiting for the patched Emacs to download now (the ability to embedd arbitary x windows in Emacs is in itself pretty damn cool) and playing with Uzbl, it's damn cool. Right now the only two apps I use most days are Emacs

Exactly, the article is full of impressive sounding stuff but no real information. So what if random-guy-I've-never-heard-of was impressed by his predictions, even if said guy does/did work for the CIA. This would appear to be a very simple

Apparently you can convert PDFs to a Kindle viewable format, if that's true then you can convert LaTeX documents by way of PDF.

Would be great if you could export as Graphviz dot files (which it looks like it's using behind the scenes). That way it would be useful sketching out the basics but you wouldn't have to throw all that away once you needed more features.

artist-mode to create maybe, but then how do you edit? Concepts such as "make this box bigger" or even "move this box over here" get kind of difficult when it's all just pixels or all just ascii chars. Graphviz is pretty cool though. But sa

That's what shell scripts do in general, they automate things you could have done yourself with a bit more typing. With a todo list I feel it is absolutely vital that there is as little friction as possible. You don't want the process of re

I'm not really a fan of screencasts but in this case I thought it gave a nice idea of what the tool feels like to use. That's pretty important with something like that, but a little hard to convey through just a transcript.

Neither of the Prolog-in-Lisp examples I've seen (in "On Lisp" and "Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence Programming", both of which I highly recommend) seem to be much about language one-upmanship. Rather, they seem like interesting ways t

Prototype-based OOP is an alternative to class-based OOP. See the Self, Javascript and IO languages for examples. I'm not making any claims as to which is "better", just pointing out that it's a valid way of doing things.

Given that he was in a Japanese POW camp it would probably be safe to assume that he was arrest and tried by the Japanese.
