Shoes are not strictly necessary either, but they help. Trekking poles help, and I also need them to pitch my tent, so I'll keep them.

Kakimori makes dip pens (nibs, really) in either stainless steel or bronze.

I don't have time to try it atm but this looks like it would be quite easy to implement in Clojure (that falls under "Lisp", right?)

My thought exactly, the author basically has to avoid any long-term project like raising a child. That's fine when you're in your twenties I guess.

I had a german teacher insist we write umlauts as two little dashes instead of dots, because "they're not trémas" (French for diaeresis) which are written as two little dots. The wikipedia article above seems to say they&#x27

About tomatoes: I think it's also because they're harvested before they're really ripe so they're harder and will handle transport better.

But then the typical industry dev works with Java or C# (both VM-based) or maybe Python or PHP (interpreters.)

I worked for a sister company. These features were A/B tested, their effect on bookings measured, and the numbers affected the bonuses of POs. They were thus incentivized to try these kinds of annoying tricks, because ultimately they w

Platinum pens also have a mechanism to completely seal the nib when capped. I have a Preppy, it's less than $10 and starts fine after weeks without any use.

I hesitated between both, but the nitrokey 3 has so many things listed as "planned" that I went for a Yubikey (I bought two, a 5a NFC and a 5c NFC.)

This may work for a single house, I don't think it's easy to scale to a whole city or a factory.

In France we learn about it, and the exam has a low speed and high speed test. The high speed test ends with either an emergency stop or an obstacle avoidance (simulates a pedestrian crossing right in front of the motorbike for example, the

Not a Common Lisp implementation but Clojure can find the source for a symbol (provided the source code file is in the classpath) with the clojure.repl/source function (doc: https://clojure.github.io/clojure/cloj

First time I saw the find by example feature I thought "maybe it tries all applicable methods" but then immediately dismissed the idea because it could execute methods with side-effects. Does Pharo somehow knows about safe/un

You should have a look at the Buteyko method. The basic premise is most of us suffer from chronic hyperventilation, which comes with a lot of issues including obesity, and the method aims at training us to better tolerate higher CO2 levels.

I stare hard at the code to build a mental image of what it's doing. I then use logs to check if what I think is happening is actually happening (including logging a stack trace when I want to make sure how the program gets there.) I t

It seems to me you want something more stable, not something easier. Speaking as someone working mostly on backend (Scala codebase) but having to touch a Typescript codebase from time to time: backend is certainly not easier, but it feels w

As I understand it SMILE implies a smaller cut (3mm) with less nerve damage. Thanks for the heads-up, I'll make sure I'm OK with the potential side effects if I go forward with it.

I have a lot of sympathy for the author. I've been thinking about getting LASIK (or SMILE as it seems to be gaining popularity in France) since friend got it and says it's life-changing, and since I've started considering it

It's blocked at the DNS level (at least here in France, it simply does not resolve.) I switched to DNS-over-HTTP in Firefox and it works.
