Thanks for making the presentation. I found it very useful when I first started messing around with babel, and I still come back to it from time to time.

One approach to this is org-mode with babel. You can have a plaintext file which is also the program which is also the documentation/notebook/website/etc. It's extremely powerful, and is a compelling example of literate

This was from the last time around, and Trump no longer holds the lease on the hotel (and it's no longer branded as "Trump"), but it is an example of self-dealing with inaugural funds: https://www.politico.com&#x2F

mu4e paired with mbsync is really amazing. All your email in Emacs, with super fast search, and the ability to integrate into things like org agenda. I found this guide particularly useful for setting things up and even dealing with annoyin

The patent system in general and the USPTO in particular is a very strange amalgam. As a holder of multiple patents (both hardware and method/soft), I've found the process to be extremely odd. First you have to phrase whatever you

This is not really related to Orion, but is anyone else annoyed by the fact that Apple restricts Sidecar to only work if both devices are signed into the same Apple ID? This is on top of the insult of making it ridiculously complicated to s

Indeed. Only things I've seen it get wrong in a few minutes of testing are french lyrics (try a Serge Gainsbourg for example). But it is really, really amazing.

I don't think there's any magic bullet to tech hiring. You can pay over-the-top for headhunters and the like, and get almost useless candidates. You can have people who can barely figure out how to submit a resume who turn out to

Note that you need to "Log On" to Facebook/Meta/WhateverTheyCallThemselvesNow to try it. Kind of curious, but not curious enough to create yet another burner Facebook account. [edit: still learning to spell]

Yeah, noticed that as well. Pretty frustrating that the monitoring system says, "iCloud Account & Sign In" is solid green :-)

Yes, a future stream of cash flows will be worth less now if interest rates rise, because the time value of money has changed. But not every asset (let alone every price) represents a future stream of cash flows. Monetary policy could be pe

The Fed strategy is to reduce the rate of growth (1st derivative) or prices, not reduce the actual price level (which would be deflationary). And that's non-trivial for many reasons, including the fact that not every price signal respo

The claim that, "when interest rates rise, all asset prices must fall" seems, uhm, somewhat off. If this were true, it would be trivial to stop and reverse inflation (i.e. deflate) with any increase in interest rates (?). While it

Indeed. NMEA2000 is essentially a Marine Electronics version of CANBUS with their own agreed upon PGNs. NMEA0183 is pretty close to RS-232 (and/or RS-422), usually at 4800 baud, but there's a "High Speed" variant at 38,4
