I agree that regular assessment sessions are crucial. If you, like me, are vaguely afraid of facing the future, it's enormously helpful to have a todo list, and to set aside a small part of every day for tending the todo list. It'

Yeah, I'd prefer that something like this hooked into existing system functionality as much as possible.

My high-school-age daughter is using Khan Academy to learn about logarithms for her math class. She was telling me about it, and I thought "hmm, maybe I should finally figure out what Big-O actually means". Now here we are! I gues

The new version of the Osmand~ Android app introduced free-form text searching. It's a lot better, but still not good.

I went far enough down the rabbit hole to conclude that the source of the trouble was threading. If that's been fixed, then I'm going to give stump another shot right now.

No one's looking at this page anymore, but I happened to have the tab open and think it's an interesting question... StumpWM handles windows a little differently than i3. In Stump, every new window simply piles on top of the exist

I was using SBCL! Here's an old mailing list thread about it. It often took StumpWM a second or two to notice that I'd typed the prefix key. https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/stumpwm-devel/2014-0

I used this for a few years, and loved it -- it's my favorite of all the tiling window managers I've tried, for conceptual simplicity, extensibility, and ease of use. It was dog-slow, though, and often couldn't keep up with m

I was able to work out pasting into tmux from the system buffer, but no solutions I've seen for copying out of tmux have ever worked for me. So yes, that's a pretty basic usability issue.

Given that Washington State is all mail-in, I doubt we're seeing a lot of actual voter intimidation! I'm also in Seattle, and dropped my ballot off at one of three drop-off points. There were some nice people in smocks there who t

This whole article read like astroturfing, and I agree -- if you're going to complain about something not working on Linux, it isn't email.

All of China (not a latitudinally small country) is on one time zone, and that's Beijing time -- one of its easternmost points. In the west, they use Beijing time, and things like banks and post offices operate on Beijing time, but mos

It's amazing how little exercise it takes to do the trick. Personally I feel like it's important to do something that opens the lungs and gets the heart beating, so cardio of some sort is what I choose (sometimes skipping rope). B

It think it's important to acknowledge the effect the body has on the mind. If I sleep early, sleep well, rise early, and do some physical exercise first thing in the morning, I'm essentially a different person: I feel like I doub

Flat characters, unfortunately, are a regular feature of Chinese fiction, and not just sci-fi (though worse in sci-fi). In fact, most of the complaints about Three Body on this page (weird story structuring, awkward language, huge plot twis

Sure, I don't think it's a silver-bullet explanation, just one that you hear frequently. I still think it holds water, to a certain extent -- the central plains have continually been the cradle and heart of Chinese civilization. A

One "explanation" you hear a lot is geography. China's central plain is... a plain. It's easy to conquer and hold a plain. Europe has got mountains in the middle, plus various odd bodies of water getting in the way. That

I've been running two domains for about a year and a half, and have only once been spam-canned. This only happened recently, and I haven't been able to get hold of the guy to ask what email system he's using, and whether ther

Yup. It took me a couple of weeks of slow reading to make sure I was doing it exactly right (this included me learning how email works on a deeper level than I had before), but once I launched I've had no problems whatsoever, and so fa

Are there any Android-compatible phones with physical keyboards? I'm also driven to mini-rage a few times a day by "typing" on glass.

There are a few packages that do that, here's one that does two-way syncing: https://github.com/dengste/org-caldav I use it to sync with a Radicale server.

I've never been to India, but of course have eaten lots of spicy Indian food in restaurants. The one time I had dinner at an Indian person's home (in China) she made dishes that were so hot I had to stop. I don't know where i

Coincidently, an article[1] just came down my WeChat pipeline about the population clean-up of Beijing. It's a great, classic propaganda article, full of pictures and statistics about how crowded Beijing is, and lots of "wouldn&#x

Hey I have a related question: so with IPFS we all host bits of the internet, and with IPv6 our machines are all directly world-accessible, right? So how do we prevent this from turning into a huge pwn-fest? If routers aren't doing NAT

The problem with this happening in China is that, given the rampant corruption, authoritarianism, lack and transparency and lack of rule of law in China, the system is pretty much guaranteed to be expressed in the worst possible way: used f
