As a Tcl fan, I was just clowning around; but as a matter of curiosity, there do happen to be a number of possibly-credible Tcl web frameworks. I haven’t done any homework on any of them. https://wiki.tcl.tk/40649

I read it less as an indictment of any real person expressing a real thought or opinion and more as a constructive criticism of a system that can be gamed to destructively exacerbate tensions between different thoughts and opinions, rather

I'd also like to hear more about what you mean. I imagine 'Platonism' refers to his theory of the forms, which as an example of abstraction seems pretty useful, if taken in his case to an extreme. He seems pretty solid on mod

Do you know whether its ticket management functionality is available from the CLI?

I'm probably wrong about this, or, let's say, understand it incompletely (though I think the same point was addressed in the article in the part in which the therapist relates the need to understand the world to the formation of t

I doubt gp is encouraging people to jump into threads to say they don't know something. I imagine the insight is that online communication lends itself too well to an unfavorable s/n, one that militates against reasoned discussion

I'm reminded of a time in Chicago when I saw one of a group of three teenagers deliberately and casually drop his trash on the floor of a public bus. Both of his peers looked at him askance and he said, "What? I pay taxes." T

I'm sitting here thinking about what the world would look like with a much smaller, more expensive, higher quality, less intrusive www, and I'm not sure I'm opposed to that; esp assuming anyone who wants to could still put up

Last time I was on Ubuntu, ctl+alt+F1 through F6 were virtual terminals; F7 was the gui. Edit: I've usually been on Macs for the last three years, and I miss that functionality almost daily.

This is the year I'm finally going to learn front end, just enough to prototype. Don't roast me alive, but I'm thinking of starting with jQuery. It seems much more learnable for a web stack beginner, and probably serviceable

I watched the demo and realized I didn't know how to collapse all org branches but current, so I glanced at the documentation but didn't see it. That would frequently be useful to me. I suppose you could cycle global to collapsed

I just found that workflow described in a blog post elsewhere too: "Pro-tip: tracking cash withdrawals and purchases can be a pain. I typically just maintain an Expenses:Cash account for these sorts of things. If I can remember how I s

For my whole life the enjoyment of watching sports has been essentially a black box. I can hypothesize a variety of compelling reasons why someone would enjoy it, but I have zero empathy there. It's a complete mystery. So much so that

I've had similar thoughts, and concluded that all of three different modes of mental operation have virtues and are worth spending time on: directed movement (concentration, focus), undirected movement (mind-wandering, daydreaming), an

I don’t know editions subsequent to 2e, but I kind of liked THAC0. Tough to explain, but flexible. A useful abstraction.

Surely it would be ridiculous to deliberately program the machine to break the law, though. It sounds like in the best case scenario, you're describing a situation in which the law should be changed to correspond to how people actually

Someone should make a database of every HN comment on the best ways to manage notes and/or tasks. I might even buy a subscription. Edit: My current stack, to show good faith: paper for log and tasks, Org and Git for memoranda.

I feel you. You're preaching to the choir here - I narrowly dodged majoring in classics myself, and my particular brand of virtue signaling is to rave about how much better the Lattimore is than the Fagles. But many of the leaves are n

As a point of clarification, are you saying that Homeric Greek is difficult for a native speaker of Modern Greek, or are you saying that, objectively speaking, Homeric is a fundamentally more difficult language to use? I took two semesters
