I've used attr()to do some localisation, i.e., add "Chapter" or "Kapitel" before an H1 chapter heading depending on the lang attribute on the HTML element. Useful stuff.

You might be interested in pandoc: it allows you to write your documents in LaTeX or Markdown and then it can automatically convert it to docx, odt, html, LaTeX, Markdown, and more. For straigtforward[0] documents this works great. [0] docu

I use the Windows keys for that as I have no other use for them. Now you've mentioned it, I can make easily a lot of symbols I've never used as well: ₈8⁸ǫẹ. That might come in handy writing formula in plain text.

As a European using the extended latin alphabet, setting your keyboard up to easily type é, is easy: use a modifier key. Then, for example, MOD + ' followed by e becomes é. Similarly you can make à, ô, ĩ, œ, ů, and so on. I even believe thi

But a general purpose device like a phone should be able to cater to different audiences. There is no problem to include applications that will be used by only a subset of the audience. Plus, installing and removing applications is easy, I

Here in the Netherlands it is. I assumed it to be the same in the Western world, but those kind of generalizations often turn around to bite me in the ass. We, researcher in the Netherlands, have to produce as funding depends on it. Further

Research is highly competitive business mixed with industry involvement (or government involvement). You have to publish and fast. You have to develop your discoveries into something that can be monetized. You have to collaborate with indus

A better statement would be that it is intended as satire, to comment on current state of our society and so on.

Certainly, it is similarly to mobile versions of websites: build the best representation for the device and situation and be aware of the differences and potential effects of these differences. I think that smartphones do offer great opport

With respect to a pure technically translation from one device to the other, you're absolutely right. The problem is in interpretation/representation/communication of information/ideas/knowledge. For example, I've built an interactive compu

Don't get me wrong, I like information rich interactive documents. I just think it is an illusion to think that these documents fit different (sized) devices without (extensive) editing. And there is nothing wrong with that as long as we ar

There is a fundamental problem with viewports of unknown size: you as author cannot ensure that the way you want to represent your information is also rendered that way. For a novel or other basically sequential text that doesn't matter, bu

Ah, there are some regulations with respect to getting a firearm then? But given the enormous amount of firearms around, would it be hard to get one illegally? I suppose everyone knows someone with a healthy mental outlook and with a seriou

That makes sense: with a gun we shoot -> shooting; with a knife we stab -> stabbing. Although it could also be a slicing or dicing then, I suppose :-)

It is interesting to see of the Norway shooting falls in the same statistical category of "mad shooter" or in something like "homeland terrorism". But yes. There seems to be a rise of similar incidents all over the developed world, although

Yes, fairly simple skills. I would concur with my grandparent that it is impossible to master a complex skill set in just a short amount of time. That's not to say that it is useless. On the contrary: it gives your graduates a basis compani

That is a good question, yes. Maybe there is a generation gap. I wonder if Nick Crew and his broken family ever did talk about their expectations they have for each other. Or he just never expressed his opinion clear and cut to his children

Here in non-USA-ia, there is no such paywall. Maybe visiting their site through an alien proxy could give you unlimmited access. Then again, why bother as more and more 'articles' as you accurately observe have become short and easy opinion

Many see formal education as mostly learning facts and procedures. Of course we will forget these when we don't use them often. However, I think the goal of education should be deep learning of concepts. Although we'll forget the procedures

To me, these two paragraphs below were enlightening. Not only the admission is sketchy, but the study program can be as well. I wonder why other USA-ians as a community/society seem to accept this kind of favoritism. As the author repeatedl

You don't have any real control over that account. I can think of ways to lose an account and while not all of them are very likely, I wouldn't be surprised to see all of them happen in, say, the next five years or so if they haven't alread

Yes, with waiting time there seem to be a zone of frustration. Waiting a short time isn't a problem. Waiting a long time, i.e., 8 minutes gives me ample time to do something else,like, getting a coffee. However, a waiting time in between is

Because there are other reasons to be against same-sex marriage laws. I am an advocate of a general marriage law, allowing two consenting adults to marry whatever their gender, race, age, and so on. However, I don't think it is a good idea
