What's the main attraction of org-roam over org? I had a look at it, but didn't quite understand how to use it. Seemed as if it wanted one file per note.

> This is the social signaling aspect of language at work How so? Surely those who say `regardless', the vast majority, are not trying to signal anything.

But that would be mixing Latin and English, just as bad as television!

I wonder, are there any statistics on descriptivist and prescriptivist attitudes in various groups? Or any recent defenses of prescriptivism?

Factule, perhaps, from the unattested but regular diminutive factulum.

The author seems to claim that `irregardless' is all right and that caring about it is caring too much and vain. He compares it to other malformed words such as `television' and `flammable'. But there seems to be a signific

What's the potential-firmware-backdoor situation? Is there something equivalent to the Intel Management Engine?

I started on Newport's book a few years ago but stopped because I hated his writing style.

I was running it on Arch Linux. I may just lack the font.

Maybe the specification should prohibit smilies.

I found I could read this in EMACS with a package called Elpher, but there's a smiley or something I couldn't see.

Do tell if you find this has any advantage over Org mode.

I'm curious, what exactly did he say?

You seem to imply that, if one is free and just follows one's immediate impulses, one automatically ends up doing something worthwhile and non-bullshit. But there are lots of free men (economically independent men) who give their live

The claim seems to be: (i) if you are economically independent, procrastination is an indication that the postponed task is not worth doing after all; (ii) if you are forced to do it for money, procrastination is just a natural reaction to

I'd be interested in hearing about experiences with Metafont from those of you who have put effort into it. How far did you get and how much time did you spend? Any advice for others who would like to try?

With ctrl-z, the programme is just paused, and can be resumed with fg or bg.

Sounds like it may be worth buying. But I'll see how far I get with the Metafontbook first.

Does this have prose in addition to the source code; or can you get the same information from looking at the code distributed with texlive?

But the bitmaps can be of any resolution, can't they? Is there any really cogent reason to prefer vector output?

by daffy 6y ago
Surely, the 128-glyph limit is no real obstacle? Just make more fonts. Or convert to another format after designing in Metafont.

Are there any Metafont projects going on?

I've been using qgmlwb for 4 years or so. It's difficult to compare with qwerty, since I didn't type properly before, but it feels pretty comfortable and effortless. I feel like my right hand is overused, but I doubt it has
