Why is that a better metric? There are levels of correctness. Do you sincerely believe that each article you read will push you backwards in knowledge? Even an untrustworthy source can contain valuable information; just ask an historian. Th

Surely the metric should be "Do they know more than me?" Or are you concerned that you'll move towards the apex of the Dunning Kruger chart?

A friend and I were concerned that Vimperator would die with Firefox 57, so we made our own version [1]. To our delight, it mostly works and has a few users. [1]: https://github.com/cmcaine/tridactyl

I think the authors would argue that the statistic tells you more about the situation where there is a gun in the room, a toddler, and an adult who looks a bit foreign. Who should you be more worried about keeping the gun away from?

Have you looked at Qutebrowser if you want a standalone browser? Other options for Vim-like web extensions are Saka key, Vim-Vixen and Tridactyl.

I can't answer for the heavier weights, but lighter font weights can look dreadful on low PPI displays (e.g, desktop computers).

Say you have N random walks. The probability that the second derivative at any point is of the same sign for all walks decreases with N. Right?

We're nowhere near the theoretical limit. Biological brains are much more energy efficient (up to 100,000x depending on who you ask) than our current offerings, and beyond that one can make an entropic argument as to how much energy in

Have you heard of the GPD pocket [1]? It's not so far from what you describe, although I often find myself wishing it had an extra inch or so: the keyboard is pretty cramped. [1] https://www.windowscentral.com/gpd-pocke

The aspiration is to get it in for FF58. I suspect progress will improve once 57 is out of the door - I think Mozillians are pretty busy right now. Congratulations on releasing v1, by the way.

Insulating your attic is the most effective and cheap thing for most people; cavity wall insulation is more expensive but also effective if you have the right kind of wall. Then it's unexotic stuff like making sure doors have decent se

Ok, but then you're so far into pedantics that I'd suggest that you can't mathematically prove anything either, because you're using your brain to do so, which might be suffering from some flaw that stops you from realis

No, you can prove things wrong. In fact, a lot of science is in making sure that your claims are falsifiable. E.g, "the moon is made of cheese". cf. Bertrand Russell's teapot.

I disagree, respectfully. I like that there's always more stuff to learn about Vimperator. It's fun. There's a nice thread on GitHub where people are talking about their favourite features: https://github.com/

This is probably a good place to plug the fact that Vimperator is going to die with FF57 [1]. If anyone wants to help with making an alternative, look through that thread. I'm particularly invested in Tridactyl [2] but other people are

The whole point of the economy is to allocate our scarce resources in the way that maximises the benefit to society. Automation is a way of reducing costs; it is a way of making our scarce resources go farther. On the micro level, it is a K

You have reminded me of an excellent article on frictional costs in economics from The Economist [1]. There is a slight snag in that it is an April Fools joke. [1] http://www.economist.com/news/leaders/21719799-it-

That second link is extraordinary. They are claiming that non-telecoms companies that have similar investment patterns to the telecoms industry before the Title II change can serve as a control. That seems an awful lot like they're be
