   Sounds like using a TI-89 calculator to solve "what is 2+2?"

   I'm nearing the end of my PhD in physics and I feel the same way. I've really enjoyed it and I'm absolutely OK not pursuing an academic career. I'm starting to lay out my plan for applying for jobs in industry - and I wo

   I started using magit about 3 months ago - it's definitely one of my favorite parts of emacs now. I highly recommend it to anyone using emacs as a daily driver.

   I think it’s recommended to avoid set(...) in modern/best practice cmake because it’s global. Use the target_* functions.

   Thanks! This is certainly the best list of emacs themes I've seen.

   The same technology used to align the silicon detectors for ATLAS (one of the detectors on the LHC) was used to recover the audio. (article mentions optical metrology)

    The non-tenure (adjunct) faculty at Duke unionized. There was an effort to unionize graduate students using the same union (SEIU). It failed to win the vote.

    I've only read good things about Red Hat. Another thing I've always appreciated about them is that they work on a lot of open source software and have even open sourced proprietary software they've taken over via acquisitions

    Thanks for sharing, this is really cool. I often struggle with my Emacs theme switching between light and dark traveling in and out of my windowless office which is filled with intense unnatural night. I once tried to write some Elisp for d

    They've been doing this for years now (since at least 2015). The title here implies that the change is recent.

    If you change the compiler version (to e.g. gcc7) your blurb compiles in C++14.

    Interesting that the publishers are still allowing the universities access (at least for now) while the universities refuse the publisher's wishes.

    Thanks a lot for sharing, I enjoyed reading this. I spent most of my life in Texas and went to college in Austin. The first thing out of my mouth when I get home: "let's go grab some Mexican." I can't think of anyone (fr

    The 2007 and 2013 paragraphs are pretty scary. Your friend takes a personality quiz from a random app developer and then that developer gets access to _your_ personal data. Obviously Zuckerberg doesn't go into detail about what kind of

    My one complaint: The keyboard is just too delicate. I’ve owned a 2016 MBP without touchbar since January of 2017 and I’ve had 5 keys get faulty on me. Previously I’ve owned one MBA and one rMBP (2012 design) and never had issues with the k

    Chances are the next macOS upgrade will come with an Xcode upgrade which usually comes with an llvm/clang upgrade... but I do agree with you.

    I don't like seeing them all of the time; but, luckily, drug advertisements have some positive impact [1]. When I think commercials that do not lead to good things I think of the betting advertisements in Europe. [1] https:/&#x2F

    I have a directory of .org files sitting in Dropbox. I occasionally export them to html pages. I’ve been meaning to organized it and turn it into a git repo since GitHub renders org mode.

    Very cool! I watched the SciPy talk on xtensor (same developers as xeus) and the project looked pretty awesome. Many people in my field used CINT for a long time and cling is so much better. It's nice to see it used outside of particle
