Nice. I'm interested in your ox-twbs package, going to take a look! Have you thought about changing the menu so it follows the reader?

The keyboard doesn't work for me on Debian/Iceweasel.

That's exactly what I meant, namely that for some kids, home preparation isn't an option. Maybe I could have changed the wording :)

It can be for some kids. I see no reason a child should have to eat less healthy than any other at a public school. I'm a reasonably good cook (definitely "above average", but nothing spectacular). I would much prefer my kids

Je ne crois pas que ce soit un problème isolé au Québec. Il me semble qu'après un certain âge, la plupart des gens réagissent moins bien au changement. Cela dit, je partage ton sentiment. Peut-être cette mentalité nous quittera-t-elle

I just rip off pages from textbooks and eat them. Much, much less time consuming and the calories aren't that bad. Great source of fiber.

Some anecdata: I spent the holidays with my family. I had never noticed they always have dessert. The amount of sugar I ate during the week was enough for me to feel cravings almost a week after. It's my gf who noticed that I was loo

I noticed that using GUI Emacs in OSX, a first boot is slow and will open two windows: a Spacemacs buffer in one window, and the file in another. Subsequent files are opened much faster if you keep the Spacemacs buffer opened.

By the way, http://www.trailsjs.io is a parked domain.

Ah, you replied to me just as I found it. I think the README should hint that the code is in the book ;)

Looking at the code on GitHub[1] I don't understand how this qualifies as "literate" programming. I'm also not quite sure why you'd version binaries as well as /etc/passwd... There's also an awful lot

Your first quip also applies to Mathematica. It's very easy to write quite inefficient code in Mathematica. One classic example of this is a newcomer not using N[] and evaluating every expression symbolically. Seems trivial, but it rea

Thanks! For some reason I never saw this page before. I wasn't satisfied with the README on Github. Off to read!

Hey, I found spacemacs a bit intimidating. How do you get started with it? I have plenty of text to write in the coming weeks, so I already have the substrate to practice on. I just need a good introduction to evil-mode+org-mode.

I haven't gotten around Emacs yet. I'm on a MBP and the Emacs controls are bothersome (to say the least) compared to Vim. I tried using Spacemacs, but it kind of assumes one is already familiar with Emacs and seems a bit too bloat

I used to commute by car for about 40 minutes to an hour each way. I got pretty good at avoiding "stop and go" without leaving too much space between my car and the one before me. Some useful practices I developed: Don't look

GP := General Practitioner. As a patient I don't want this to happen. I'm ok with nurses administering the shot, but by having an MD giving his approval first (or a "Super nurse"). At what point do you draw the line and

I'm guessing that a similar situation exists with doctors; physicals, vaccines, and a handful of common diseases (like colds) probably make up a sizable percentage of visits. There's a market for someone who can

I also don't see the interest, but with a decent editor this shouldn't be a problem. For the little Python I write, Vim takes care of formatting the code.

Nice project, I'll be browsing it for the next hour or so. I do have a suggestion, however. Take the MemoryTechnique[1] page for example. It should begin with a very short introduction to the subject and be followed by a suggested read

The page is pretty and all, but I had to re-read some paragraphs to understand what the product is.

Looks much better to me. I would also change the font family to a monospaced font, such as Fira Mono[1]. That would be two small modifications that lead to better readability IMO. If you want it even fancier, I found this page[2] that can h

I want to add that the tutorial page is useless IMO. You should definitely consider adding syntax highlighting and using a different font. It's totally unclear. Sadly, after multiple clicks I still have no idea if the language could in

Don't dismiss it so early. I'm reading it and it's very clear up to now. Just do the exercises. Anything in particular you find challenging on page one?

Hi Shostack, I wasn't trying to bring you down. Maybe what you're looking for is a visual programming environment, where you can drag and drop functions, data, etc?

I'm dying for this stuff to be dumbed down enough[...] It kind of already is. Have you read the docs/examples? I don't think your mentality is fruitful. Having argued with people who shared your point of view, it se

Not only do you have to know where to puncture, you also have to make sure you puncture below the obstruction.

So what is this? A glance at the README and it's not obvious what it does. Also, it would be much nicer to serve an "example" directory instead of a zip file!
