   Org mode. I put a Readme.org in every project I start, and it can help with most project management tasks. You can also hook these files up to your Org agenda, so that issues (i.e. TODO items) show up there. Edit: I should also mention t

   Well not actual privacy scandals, but shocking practices that some of the community took so. The most recent was an easter-egg extension covertly installed in about everybody's browsers, and there was a partnering I read of with a Ger

   The platform widget set is a language: when you look at a well-behaving application that uses such language, you immediately know what's a button, what's a menu, what's a tooltip, what's a label etc., and you can configu

   If I was picking one based on their website, I'd no doubt go for PyQT. "Marketing" is just a eulogy for lying I think. And it further annoys me when FOSS projects imitate IT companies and try to do marketing.

   IoT is a total overkill, whether it's inter- or intranet of things. There are devices that are useful to connect to a local network, e.g. a printer/scanner, a security cam, but almost all other home devices are fine (actually bet

   This is fun and all, but if the message that this tries to pass along is "don't bother with proper security because it's very hard/impossible, do your best and ship, you can always fix your code", than that's b

    In addition/summation the base case is zero. And I find it quite apt that the plus operator stand for summation in a language where operator precedence is not a debate.

    It's kinda perfect. Sexps are readable, very easily and quickly navigable and mobile (i.e. moving some expression(s) around in the program source) w/ something like paredit, very easy to partially evaluate, parse, and they are eas

    "Normality" is really very overrated indeed. I learnt rather late that one had to come to terms with his particularities and that "normal" was not that good of a thing to be; realisations before which I was suffering in

    I have to disagree, it seems to me that what it shows is something very real about NK: the way the NK wants to portray herself, the illusion that they want to create. It's not like say pictures of Istanbul with century-old men, veiled

    So Linux (there is no GNU/Linux kernel, but a GNU/Linux OS) is more popular than how much you'd like it to be, and is that the problem? I for one am glad GPL-licenced free software is running on as much platforms as possible

    I have interpreted the comment in question---which BTW I don't really recall ATM--as drawing conclusions, not as asking questions. That's why I thought is fallacious. I may well be mistaken in that, so sorry if that's the c

    That is a fallacy, whether worded as a rhetorical question or explicitly as "faulty generalisation" or "fallacy of defective induction". The fact is that the subjective observation is generalised without any buttressing

    I know this is controversial but the default html layout is what most people need. You can use markdown or org mode etc. to generate it. One improvement may be centering the content on bigger displays, which I do for my blog with two @med

    The most annoying thing with phones is that they distract other people. You might be kind enough to not use your phone during a collective event, but other people are not. Frankly I don't care about it in a concert as you go there fo
