Could you ELI5 how these sorts of attacks are possible and what the average Joe can do to mitigate them?

I'd suppose he'd use a throwaway if he'd want to post anything. Otherwise it'd draw too much attention and get too many upvotes and replies, essentially killing the small amount of neutrality we get here.

"The reaction from foreign media, global celebrities, and NGOs in Brazil stems from a romantic anti-capitalism common among urban elites." No, it stems from looking at the sky and seeing it's black at 3pm because of smoke com

Your friend seems to have had access to many opportunities which none of the unqualified HB-1 software engineers you mention may ever have, and it seems like she made the best out of it. Congratulations for her. Despite all her merits, thou

Is there any particular bottleneck towards getting this to work with Python? Would not a simple pip wrapper be enough for the task?

It's particularly interesting crossing the border from Germany to the Netherlands and seeing how the internet speed can increase so much after riding 20km.

As of today, how would you compare Julia to the Python ecosystem? Could I use Julia as a "drop-in" replacement for the python scientific stack already?

And as a look out of the window, on a sunny Sunday, all I see are hundreds of unnecessarily large SUVs riding around (1 person per vehicle, usually), contributing - like every day - their good share of superfluous greenhouse gases to our at

It seems to me that this solution to call python from clojure defeats the purpose of using clojure in the first place. You lose the interactive loop, as you can't really inspect the underlying python objects and it's hard to jump

Really cool stuff! I'm glad I didn't miss it. The keybindings really make prototyping much faster, especially for keyboard-centric devs out there.

Not necessarily true. If you take the score of e.g. Chopin's Ballade N.3 you'd be inclined to think sheet music is all just show off. Abstract notation takes time to parse and understand when you see it for the first time, no matt

That is correct, thank you. Also in the description, I meant stenotype and not stenography.

1700 pages of notes would translate to 9 pages/working-day in a year. That's a lot of note taking. The blog post is wonderful and does show outstanding LaTeX and VIM practical knowledge, but I'd be skeptical that the average

Worthwhile to mention Sci-hub's telegram bot [1]. Forward any link as a message to the bot and it's instantly send you a paper. Also worthwhile to mention Zotero's sci-hub integration. There's a guide on how to get it ru

I've recently migrated from Mendeley to Zotero. I first had to downgrade Mendeley because recent releases also encrypt your local database to guarantee lock-in [1]. Quite scary. [1] https://www.zotero.org/support/k

What kind of navigation are you relying on that could not possibly work faster on a terminal? Horrible ascii graphs look horrible, but they are arguably more functional in that you can navigate them with your keyboard.

99.99% of the times you don't want to search for files that are in .gitignore. Ignoring by default is the sane default, as it reduces the amount of false positives. If you do want to search through all files, there's probably a fl

Definitely interesting, and the examples look nice, but biased in that absolutely no evidence is given to support that LOP makes anyone more productive.

Very much spot on. I'm also fascinated by Racket and LOP, but I find it hard to believe in those who claim being more productive than everyone else without proper evidence to back up their statement. Of course, anyone would expect tho

I think they're in this not only for the money. Their goal is to provide a user-centric blogging platform, not a corporate-centric one. Shameless plug: write your post from the comfort of your Emacs and automatically upload it to write
