   Hello, I have a rather specific question. I want to write a detailed tutorial (as HTML page) and a condensed version of it (as Reveal JS slides) from a single document. I have found this suggestion[1] to specify the separate output file nam

   Doesn't that imply the opposite? They can take the code base and do anything they want with it.

   a topic often seen on Hacker News - the Julia language I find Python to be useful but excruciatingly verbose, particularly when you get to using NumPy and Pandas. I like the syntax of Fortran/MATLAB/GNU Octave so here's to ho

   For translating mathematics to code, in most (but not all cases) more relevant to have 1-indexing.

   Julia might have been more practical - also has a type system, symbolic computing, automatic differentiation, etc. And maybe just functional enough.

   An important aspect of this is to find a cofounder that complements your capabilities. If you're the developer, you need someone with business (marketing and sales) experience to bring in investments and customers (and get customer fee

    Been using emacs since 2003. One thing I turn to VS Code these days for is Jupyter / Quarto notebooks. It's not possible to have the same development workflow with Quarto and Org-babel since you can't run/rerun code chun

    On macOS, you can remap command to control within emacs. Control with the thumb was the original configuration when emacs was built.

    In Europe (or some countries in Europe) it's common to receive applause at the end of the semester but never in the US.

    May be better to exchange students between city and rural schools.

    It's like recruiting the "best" faculty together and creating a new school. People would still not view the degree from it the same way they do one from Harvard. History and brand matter more than you would think.

    My impression was that it's possibly acceptable for on-site storage but less for transport or transportation applications.

    I'm partial to yEd! as it is built on a graph model and has good automated layout options. Unfortunately not open source, but free to use for most applications.

    So the extendable functionality is enabled with C++? If it were emacs lisp I would be right there already. :)

    I was explicitly told by my undergraduate professors that universities like to hire faculty members from universities ranked higher than them so take that into consideration for choosing your graduate school. Apparently universities have be
