The story doesn't start with "Nakba" though. For those who don't want to Google, this is the brief history leading up to this event: Turks rule over the territory of modern day Israel. It's part desert (Negev) par

Unification. This is the central point of Prolog, it's the mechanism behind matching structured data, while in SQL you would have to implement unification for each individual query, afresh, every time. Unification allows you to &quo

I was in the same group when I wanted to try Mercury (another Prolog-like language, but with ML-like types). Someone on Mercury's mailing list took pity on me, and told me to just straight up try some Prolog. Prolog, at least the basic

Compiling contents into server wouldn't be a viable strategy in many situations, like if users are allowed to upload stuff, or when you have too much content, so much that it doesn't fit in memory etc. But for a blog that's a

To all those complaining about "mobile hostile": the site has horizontal scroll on desktop too. Probably just a miscalculation somewhere on the author's side. Also, however way you spin it, mobile is a hostile environment co

You are forgetting to measure. You are saying something to the effect of "if I fry potatoes for too long, I get coal, therefore it's best to eat potatoes raw". How much to invest in design vs how fast can things be done w&#x

Well, to me, the best GUI for the text editor is as little of it as possible... But Emacs can be made to show a lot of buttons and drop-down menus. Very few people would use it like that though. Also, Emacs has decent mouse support, it&#

I'm not very knowledgeable about Vi, I had someone else configure it for me as a pager a while ago. I used to use it (as a pager) to work with database dumps which were typically multiple Gigabytes big. It's obviously slow to do

Emacs, just the binary is 8 MB in my distro package. You can, of course make it smaller if you want. There are also miniature versions of it, like MicroEmacs, which would be even smaller. But, even if you add a bunch of Emacs Lisp code, t

That's a very bold claim. What if you didn't find any evidence of something that indeed happen? What category does it fall into? Even courts will sometimes forgo the need to present evidence if they can establish means, motive a

This is... bizarre? The two most well-developed, feature-rich while also very small editors are Vi(m) and Emacs. Notepad++ doesn't hold a candle to either one of those, and you somehow missed them? :| Also, what does it mean for the

Vi(m) and Emacs can be used as pagers, so they can open files of any size (infinite, circular, you name it). I mean, there's nothing bad about this particular feature of Geany... but, let's be honest, nothing special either.
