I think if you try to come up with a better notation for mathematics, you will see how hard it is and appreciate the one we have more :) For example, the issues you list here, how would you solve them if you could rewrite the notation from

What's always difficult when trying out projects like this one is that none of my friends are willing to join it with me, so I have to either talk to myself or to strangers. And this weakens the feeling of engagement for me.

Does this mean its outcome is inherently better and it should be the default decision? I find this super questionable, especially when we talk about children.

If there is no extensive research on gaming, it doesn't mean gaming should not be limited. Since we don't know how harmful gaming is, keeping it widely available might be as dangerous as limiting it. Keeping games available is as

Being able to manage the frustration could be one such skill. And also being ready to fix things instead of assuming that employer must set up a perfectly working environment for you. I bet smaller/poorer companies may want programmers

Dependency management is usually not a big part of programmer workflow (unless you are a devops or something). Download dependencies and docs, go offline, write code. People who try working offline are exactly the people who want to do it w

Some people literally disconnect the cable to get rid of all the online distractions. I've seen this mentioned in a few threads on procrastination here. It's sad some tools will not let you do that anymore.

I was thinking of something like, "Real hackers are 1% of *". This is how Eric Raymond puts it in his How to Become a Hacker.

Agreed. Also, Turing completeness and expressing computations from one domain in another are relatively basic CS concepts. In some Computability courses it would be a mere homework problem. It has been disappointing for me that lots of peop

How much effort would it take to run LineageOS on it? Looks like it could be the fastest way to get it usable for everyday tasks.

Is there a possibility to install more exotic peripherals like 4g modem (or a smartcard slot)? I don't see them mentioned anywhere, but I'd expect a hackable laptop to have these.

∀ X, X is right for those who share the same opinion. If you think a simple tautology disproves someone's claim, there's a good chance you're missing the point.

I don't see why you call it religious. One can endlessly discuss pros and cons of using C++ in the Kernel, but in the end it's about either making a bet on C++ or not; it's not that one can or has to formally prove that the b

This argument applies to any change. Trivially, not all the changes must be accepted, therefore the argument is flawed. UPD: rafale is right, I misunderstood the parent. It's not about any change, it's about allowing more freedoms

Even though neither Rust nor C++ are supported Kernel languages, Rust has passed a few iterations of trial and discussion, C++ on the other hand was filtered out at the first one. Linus refused to even take C++ seriously (and also mentioned

I didn't know about the specification effort. It's great news! I'm very impressed with what asciidoc-hs plans to do! Especially looking forward to LSP support and stuff like incomplete/incremental parsing.

If you mean libasciidoc for Go, it does not support all the AsciiDoc features [1]. The JS parser is transpiled [2] from the Ruby implementation (which is not a bad thing, it's just something most languages can't have). My favourit

It's been a bit of a disappointment for me to discover that AsciiDoc's grammar is so complex that they didn't even describe it in a spec. Their spec is a collection of tests. This must be contributing a lot to the adoption di
