   I'm new with it myself, but I think part of what's being described is the option you have, when you have a Keybase account and the Keybase browser plugin and you're logged into a third party system (such as Fbook), of clickin

   I don't think this is exactly what you're asking, but both GitLab and GitHub render Org-mode correctly, including links. That makes for a pretty easy file-based wiki.

   Not to mention that the terms in the contract do not cover all retention and usage policies of the data. The terms are vague.

   That in turn reminds me of Tiddlywiki, which I kind of love and use for all kinds of one-offs: http://tiddlywiki.com/

   It seems to me that all three of the above depend upon being able to certainly verify someone's identity.

    Active voice presents less conceptual noise. OP could have written, "A coworker advised me to avoid the passive voice," which not only uses fewer words (which is not inherently a virtue, in my opinion), but also requires less conc

    I don't presume to be aware of all the implementation details, but in the abstract, is this not a pretty excellent use of tax payer money? To support universal access to research, data, and educational materials?

    I had exactly the same experience -- one year in a Great Books school (in my case, St. John's) -- and can say that doing the Elements was probably the single most transformative experience of my life until I had a kid. I ended up recon

    Tough call. I'm not at all unsympathetic to the variety of very good reasons why someone would prefer a pile of DRM-free files they own and can do with what they please. In this case, for me, it doesn't matter much; I have a Kindl

    I'm puzzled by this. I'm reading /Introducing Elixir, 2nd Edition/ online right now in Firefox on a Mac, and it looks fantastic. Beautifully formatted.

    I pay $99/yr for a professional membership in ACM, and as of yesterday, that membership includes complete access to the entire Safari platform. Get it while it's hot, I guess.

    Same. When I got an email yesterday saying that my ACM membership now gives me complete access to the entire Safari platform and all its content, it was like the last several Christmases all wrapped up in one. Just extraordinary how much us

    I'm as great a fan of plain text as anyone else, but you gain a lot when you keep it in a sqlite db.

    I like thinking of the cards as a language system like any other: there are semantic units (the cards) and syntactic units (the layouts).

    Off-topic, but I'm a lifelong collector of knives, and I use my $13 Spartan about 100x more than any of the others. Honestly, probably not an exaggeration. Its utility divided by its cost is extremely happy-making.

    I got 200-300 pages in twice before finally, on the third try, getting over the hump, after which I couldn't put it down, and in fact re-read it a couple years later. I think the key to enjoying it is thinking of it less as a singular

    I don't know if you meant that rhetorically, but I think it's actually an interesting question. It'd be easy, but facile, to attach formal elegance and intellectuality to chess, but I'm sure there are equally elegant and

    I think terms of service have something to do with it. In most profiling scenarios, the average consumer has no idea what's going to happen to the data collected on them. I'd be much more comfortable participating in a value-excha

    Until relatively recently, unavailability of large stockpiles of consumer data (at least, stockpiles at the scale now possible) was a significant impediment to a large and probably mostly-undiscovered class of potentially unethical behavior
