I tried Kakoune for a few days a while ago. Mostly I was in a position where I stumbled a lot from things not lining up exactly with Vim, but I also didn't see what advantages I'd get from switching over. Can someone who has used

The whole point of the article is that the ostensible goal of equality of outcome was used to justify moving away from equality of opportunity. "Given the phenomenal academic success of women in higher education over the last 35 years,

I flagged the article because it is information that is (a) totally untrue and (b) has been spread virally, even after it was debunked/retracted. Not everyone who clicked the article read all the way to the bottom and saw the comments

This reminds me of Taylor Wilson: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_Wilson In fact, if the claims are true, he will have beaten Wilson's record as youngest person to have produced nuclear fusion using a fusor.

I disagree with his point about '"interesting" technical problems' not being a perk. He describes working on 40+ different jobs which were all about the same in terms of technical interestingness, and says that the major

Yeah. Even with the privacy aspect aside, I'm quite tired of tagging self-driving car data for Waymo to use.

Is the Live Coding Workshop on Friday limited to women and non-binary people? I think I would be interested in playing around with Supercollider, but from my reading of the description on the site, it seems that male identifying people are

If the main criteria is to be similar to Ruby + Rails, Python + Django is the right way to go. Beyond the many similarities of Ruby and Python as languages, Django fills the niche for the Python web development ecosystem that Rails does for

If you end up listening to this advice and doing away with the "like Ruby/Rails" requirement, but find that a random pair of functional languages is a bit too esoteric, I'd recommend checking out Elixir and Phoenix. Lot&

Even though that's the case, what they're doing isn't novel. There are a number of syntheses for psilocybin that are well known in the literature that are potentially suitable for industrial production. In fact, there are a f

I don't have a citation for you, but the mechanism here is that it's difficult to extract just the alkaloid you want when a plant has a number of chemically similar alkaloids. So when you do an extraction, you get a number of diff

There are two things you can do to ensure that the transpiled Python is as fast as possible. First, disable TCO (while leaving TRE enabled) with the `--no-tco` argument to the compiler. Second, make sure you set the target version of Python

I'm not sure I understand what you are asking. From Google's perspective, to shut down the API is simple: they just need to stop serving the requests they get to the API and that will shut it down. If you are asking how to respons

Maybe $YEAR_OF_THE_LINUX_DESKTOP isn't 2018, but I don't think the clickbait title saying that desktop Linux has failed is fair. We're light-years ahead of where we were in 2011, let alone 2007. The majority of users who now

I was considering setting up a new desktop machine with either OpenBSD or DesktopBSD (which is based on FreeBSD). Does anyone have any recommendations on which to choose? Any interesting experiences using BSD as a daily driver?
