Your moralistic tone might be appropriate in a completely simplistic loan from one villager to another villager. In the context of the very high complexity of the actual international system we have it doesn't really work or provide an

A very ugly crime. To me this also suggests that if you own or control one of these texts that its literally your duty to the rest of humanity to make sure it's scanned and available for free and infinite copying SOMEWHERE. We might lo

Accent is not just the actual tones and sound of actual speech but also the sentence construction, word selection and style that influence the voice heard in a reader's mind. As an example looking at your second sentence. "Honest

I think as airbnb starts to be more about capitalized companies purchasing and then renting residential properties we might come to remember why it was we have zoning laws in the first place. It all seems fine and dandy(not so much if you l

I think you are using words and concepts with multiple definitions like "good", "perfect"(for whose purpose) and "rational". You are swapping definitions at will and it's leading you astray. Perhaps look a

Generally I'd discourage you from caring. It's frequently that case that new users of Linux think there is something to be gained by "trying" (and continuously reinstalling) different Linux distributions. The reality is

A good example of Emacs as a platform* for building a true "IDE" for a workflow. *can even include a real editor like Evil :)

evil-surround is the more idiomatic way to do smartparens stuff. https://github.com/guns/vim-sexp This is actually an open problem in evil/emacs at the moment. Would be nice to sort out.

Evil has full text objects support and ci( works for me though I use Emacs+Evil and not spacemacs. You'll want to add "evil-surround" for dat I found little or no disfluencies in the keybindings/text objects etc and I us

Twenty five year Vi(m) user here. I switched to Evil and Emacs last year. The combination of Vim and Emacs is a much better Vim. org-mode is life changing. In general I've found that the plugins in the Emacs environment make more sense

At times it feels as if the entire Nosql industry was created by people not reading the Postgresql manual. edit: thanks for the link to logical decoding, looks very useful.

From my experience with people and their vim knowledge, not "set -o vi" on their shell is what holds them back from becoming truly good at vim. Yes it's uncomfortable but that's most likely a result of a person's di

Emacs is a repl for the programming language elisp. It has a lot of elisp functions (1.6m lines iirc) that are very useful for shaping text including, but not limited to, almost everything that people think is so unique to IDE. Elisp and th

I think the really hard problems are almost unsolvable so waiting for them to be fixed before putting effort into this area doesn't seem wise. In general we need a common mechanism to be able to make simple factual assertions in a web

I actually find writing ideas down helps me clear out the cobwebs. It allows me to move something that's consuming a piece of working memory and or subconscious processing into a concrete form that my mind can let go of. I can come bac

Org-mode really is vastly more functional than other solutions, with the added benefit that you can learn and use as much or as little as you want and not be bothered by what isn't useful. The other thing I try to call out about org-mo

If users had a clean and straightforward way to define the permanent header row, and viewed it as just what you did for a spreadsheet, the whole industry would be better off. This is probably a glass half full/empty at the end of the d
