I read somewhere recently that YC uses ruby (or something like that) for their internal software, not lisp. EDIT: found the link https://jobs.lever.co/ycombinator/8703c1d9-af67-4826-90e4-74... > The YC internal soft

I've been thinking lately that our brains might have evolved for communication using language. The fact that they can also do philosophy, math, science and engineering is just an unintended (yet fortunate) consequence of having enough

The name of the "VS Code" product makes the title a little mis-leading. I thought the code for "Visual Studio" was open sourced. Turns out it's just this stripped down editor called "Visual Studio Code".

Two things happen when you learn another language 1) You face "weird" everywhere 2) You come to realize some absurdities in your own native language For example, in Japanese, one of the super weird things is counting. You can&#x27

All languages are not normal in that same sense. Study any language and you will be struck with "weird" all the time.

Probiotic pills? Also, yogurt, which as far as I'm concerned is the same as a probiotic pill, but less controlled.

A good terminal should show you the full pasted text in a confirmation popup before executing it. Also should never accept new lines from a paste. Or rather; if and when the paste contains new lines, it should show a confirmation popup so

That's kinda how lisp came to life, wasn't it? It was supposed to be a theoretical exercise, but someone took the "lisp in lisp" code and manually compiled it to assembly.

Make a vertical copy from one buffer, try to vertically paste it in another buffer, at the end of some line. In MacVim, the vertical rectangle pastes at the end of the existing lines. In NeoVim, it pastes on a new set of lines.

I noticed block (vertical) selection copy/paste doesn't quite work the same as in vim.

Awesome! I love how Squire has support for setting text direction (ltr/rtl). This has always been a huge beef for me with web-based rich text editors!

It doesn't do anything and you can't use it for anything. [I agree]

The point is doing without sharing the secret. I don't want to share my secret with you. You just throw a test at me that only I could possibly answer. The point is, every time you should throw a completely different test at me. Not

Seems to be talking about encrypted communication. I'm talking more about authentication over a channel that's not necessarily encrypted. The point being, avoiding having the client send its "secret pass word" to the ser

How does public-key authentication work? Over things like, ssh, I mean. Does the client send the private key to the server for verification? I'm not sure but I doubt it. At least I hope that's not what it does. My guess would be

Arabic is not one language, but a family of languages, with "Standard Arabic" serving as an almost artificial lingua-franca, that no one actually can speak natively. I say almost artificial because it has never been any body'

It's because they have oil that they get to do as they please. Saudi Arabic happened to be ruled by religious nuts. Other countries like the UAE seem to be ruled by more pragmatic (although still conservative) tribal leaders.

Forget the realism part. Can we at least get the locality part? In my mind, all the quantum observables are not real properties, therefor it's obvious/trivial that they don't exist until measured. That is, I have no problem a

It's all mysteries. The point of "simple" is to create a series of simple steps, each step should be straight forward and easy to understand. Terse != simple

Somehow, the "original proof" seems simpler. > The first rigorous proof that π is irrational is from Johann Heinrich Lambert in 1761. He proved that if x≠0 is rational, then tan(x) must be irrational. Since tan(π/4)=1 is r

Old but gold. This is how I learned git, and I think it's the only proper way. Actually I did `git help tutorial` first to get started.
