I have a lot of music files too. I wanted a nice solution for hand tagging them in Vim where I can work very efficiently. I discovered beets[1] which uses MusicBrainz. I soon figured out that it was easier to use autotagging. The trick is t

Interesting. I've moved to Emacs after 20 years on Vim because Vimscript is horrible and hacky and I've seen so much brokenness in plugins. It's quite refreshing to use an editor with a proper language powering all the bells

I must say as an hourly based freelancer (software engineering) for the last six years, I don't like this. One of the biggest perks is the flexibility to take time off whenever I want. If I don't work a full day in order to spend

I've been playing with this a bit lately and it's probably even good enough to introduce to my non-technical wife who has an increasingly complicated job but she is unlikely to invest the time in learning emacs itself. It's v

I use Orgzly on mobile and while I prefer emacs for any serious work, it works just well enough to capture my thoughts, URLs, etc..

Considering their current position as a launch provider (and independent of Russian rockets/engines), I'd say they're going to do just fine.

"anti-abuse fee" sounds fitting. Not a direct translation obviously.

Coincidentally I'm familiar with a company called Dynalloy[1] that appears to have commercialized the same thing on a significant scale with the main application of simplifying mechanisms. Their website says that Muscle Wires and Flexi

Related question: Any synths/MIDI controllers that show musical scales? Maybe with LEDs or something? I was dabbling in LMMS some time ago and it has an option to show scales but it's slow to enter and experiment with notes with t

I got an e-mail today too. Seems the news first broke five or six days ago (or hit HN anyway). There was an "Ask HN" regarding your question: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30004468 And then another large th

And none of them are legacy cruft with ass-backwards copying and pasting. The cmd.exe "terminal" needs to die.

I had a similar experience. I was in the Army and had just completed a 24 hour duty at about the same time the first tower was hit. I was finally about to get some sleep when there was a pounding on my barracks room door. I spent the next 2

One might frame it that he "died of a lead injection". Semantics.

William's claim was rather tenous. The Norman Conquest barely succeeded after narrowly winning the Battle of Hastings. The English had put down a rebellion in the north in the preceeding weeks, then just prior to the Battle of Hastings

Yes, indeed. Consider also the fact that the Anglo-Saxons were culturally and ethnically similar to the Vikings (whom the Anglo-Saxons collectively referred to as "Danes" despite also coming from Norway and Sweden). The Danelaw[1]

This should be tagged 2013. I came here just now thinking it was a new article. I actually found it by way of Google a couple months ago after watching a certain episode of The Expanse.

If you're referring to the scene where she deliberately exits an airlock, then she actually exhaled whereas the other person with her did not and died. (Purposely being vague to avoiding spoiling anyone on this great series)

Fascinating article. I had not heard of this proposed 5th century social upheaval in England before. I wonder if this could explain the apparent disappearance of the Britons from most of the island and their replacement by Anglo-Saxons. Old

Hmm.. A cursory look at the Starlink subreddit would seem to disagree with claims of unreliability. I stopped reading the article about halfway through because it stopped talking about Starlink. Yes, US broadband is horribly broken. That&#x

Nit-pick: It's the US Air Force that guards nuclear weapons, not the Army. So, it's not "soldiers" involved but rather "airmen". These service members are clearly real chuckleheads though.

Sites like Quizlet get used routinely to cheat on mandatory military training. Copying/pasting the exact text of a test question into a Google search usually turns up quite a few hits of the answers. I'm only familiar with this be

Are you trying to claim that Chaucer used "they" as a gender neutral singular pronoun? That is extremely dubious considering that half of the Middle English speakers were still using <he> as the third person plural pronoun[1

I had to go back to the original parent's post to make sense of your reply. I found the parent's post to be an accurate, tongue-in-cheek description of the evolution of the English language. It clearly wasn't written by a na

So what did Old English and "Old High Franconian" (Old High German?) start off in common as, if not "Old German"? Linguists would call it Proto-Germanic though. The parent poster isn't factually incorrect though. An
