This is where I believe in the compensatory nature of the state. Swimming is an important life skill. Someone drowning is expensive for society, and seeing how parents swimming ability is inherited (socially, obviously) you STILL see effect

Is there anything that is janet-unique? I just did a cursory glance, and most of it seems like a scheme with slightly different syntax and a more "modern" standard library. Why should I switch from my scheme of choice (guile) to J

There are statistics about swimming capabilities and socio economic status. They looks the same in just about every country; kids in poorer families are worse at swimming, even in countries with comprehensive swimming education in school. B

I will be that guy: HTML is not XML. People wanted to write malformed html so xhtml never went anywhere.

When I discovered oleh kiselyov's SXML/SSAX. It is such a amazing way to work with xml that I simply stopped doing xslt all together. SSAX is probably the best xml parser I have ever used.

After getting used to systemd, I decided to put my toes in the water and try guix. From a user's perspective you never really don't have to care much. Even complex services are pretty simple, and it is really not like you are doin

I tried just a few months ago. Two shell scripts I use failed due to something wonky with sort. Everything else worked well enough for my use case.

The disk is unused except for once a day things get backed up to it (and other places, of course). Nothing will get written to it except for when it is getting written to for the backup. I will definitely try this.

I have 128gb, of which about 100 goes unused most of the time. It seems to have zero effect on this.

I wonder if I can use a smaller SSD for this and make it avoid HDD wakeups due to some process reading metadata. That alone would make me love this feature.

I wonder if things would be more tempered if you could, like in France, do a crime that is technically legal, but breaks the spirit of the law. I can see how it would be awful in countries that have a common law system, but I am not sure I

I'm not really that into US politics, but to me this bill seems like a gargantuan transfer of wealth to already wealthy people. How does this land with the people who voted for Trump outside of the traditional republicans? Can they fin

Google has had ample time to figure out I speak more languages than Swedish. Auto-translated subtitles. Translated video titles. Reddit posts. I hate it. I hate hate hate it.

Chez scheme handles macros that expand to macros that expand to tens of thousands of lines of code in a breeze. Macros don't have to be slow.

How about Denmark? Donald Trump has made it very clear that the US should be looked upon as an adversary.

There are loads of NATO countries that will not assist the US in this case because NATO is a defensive alliance not a "this country responded my armed aggression, let's strike them" alliance.

I have a feeling gnome has struggled more with wayland than kde. For a while i could not drag and drop across screens or to applications i switched to with alt+tab. I dont know if those are fixed. One that isn't fixed that I had happe

In my head I translate an old Swedish term: "timber yard" (from Brädgård). Everything to make interacting with other hard I guess. As a kid we also called it staket, which translates to "fence".

We have the same problem as every other western country. Sweden has lowered the taxes by about 500 billion SEK (corrected for inflation and population growth) since I was born close to 40 years ago. That is about a third of the annual budg

I know that, which is why I have always wondered if we made it too easy. I did it myself as a kid, writing HTML 3.2 (?) by hand fiddling around with what must have been the first release of CSS. My web pages would definitely have looked bet

Am I the only one that cares very little about what fonts add apart from legibility? Online I think it is mostly a distraction and I usually lock my browser to dejavu sans. I have done this since 2008. Before that I used Bitstream Vera Sans
