Or give god-mode or evil a try. I use god-mode but found that capitalizing letters using the shift key was the biggest cause of pain for me. I retrained my left hand to use the ring finger for shift and added a post-command-hook to turn &qu

Honest question: Why isn't copyright something you simply pay to renew at some exponentially growing rate? You get X free years now and then year X + N costs 2^kN, for some X and k. That way you internalize the negative externality of

How much data do we have on civilizations going back that far? I imagine that "progress" was not monotonically up, so there might be peaks of development above the trendline that we don't know about because of missing data

The linked paper says in the abstract: The calculus turns out to be closely related to the linear lambda calculi used in the study of Linear Logic. We set up a computational model and an equational proof system for this calculus, and we ar

For people who run their apps like this, do you find the complexity is greater or lesser than running e.g. Express + nginx in richer containers? This looks very cool, but seems ripe for some ugly emergent behavior to appear.

https://github.com/felipeochoa/mole It's an Ohm-inspired packrat parser for Emacs. It's cool because it uses the packrat cache to allow efficient incremental repairs, so your 20k line buffer doesn't have

I'm very much in favor of free movement of people, capital and goods, but would like to point out that David Ricardo himself had to caveat his free trade argument: Ricardo recognized that applying his theory in situations where capita

I think his argument is competely backwards here. The R&D vs dividend decision is largely independent[1] from the decision about what to do with their patent portfolio. The R&D vs dividend decision is just about the expected ROI and

2000 tests in 4 minutes actually sounds really slow. We use postres and our Django tests run at roughly 9000/min on 3 year old laptops. Start your pg container once and use Django's -k flag when running tests to avoid start up tim

You could link to a number by just adding a query or hash with the base64 encoding of the number in 171 characters. You'd lose the original image of course. Edit: I bet a RLE would compress down really nicely except for the bottom row

Mars is about 10 times the mass of the moon, so maybe that helps. Though the Kuiper Belt is about the same mass as Mars, so not sure if that's the answer

If that were the case you'd expect that families with children in those cities wouldn't be bike users. In Amsterdam at least they very much were. I lived next to a primary school where 90+% of parents would show up on bikes to pi

I would love to hear more about this. Do you buy everything in bulk with reusable packaging? Does that require driving out to the farms? Do you end up eating seasonally and locally? What equipment did you have to buy to achieve this?
