This. I self-hosted from the mid-90s until giving up in 2017. My outgoing email was increasingly black-holed by major email providers. I eventually accepted that I would either have to give up on email or pay for hosting. At some level this

I have used kakoune almost exclusively for two years. Prior to that I used vim for 16 years, emacs for 10 years before that. For me kakoune started as vim visual mode done right, but I have come to love the editor because it has a small ort

There are lots of possible causes and solutions. Some are hard health-related problems you can at best mitigate. But if you're otherwise healthy and just spend a lot of time at the computer, there are potentially some "easy"

Unless you're dealing with mail, in which case you're more likely to succeed with "Coeur D Alene". Our city name apparently isn't sufficiently American in some contexts.

I recall reading about spice being used to mask the flavor of food starting to go bad. It's not a preservative function, rather it allows people to eat poor-tasting-but-not-yet-poisonous food.

Been there, done that. I published my doctoral research code [1] so that others could inspect, verify, replicate, extend, etc. YMMV, but the feedback I received from other researchers ranged from neutral to surprisingly positive (e.g. peopl

I emphatically disagree -- compile times are definitely on my short-list of worst things about C++. Long compile times disrupt flow, and it requires great ongoing mental effort to work around slow compilation. Here's a poignant anecdot

I was happy to see this article at least mention the option of making ransom payment illegal. Maybe we'll get there once insurance stops being a viable fallback.

The article is blatantly toxic in tone, which is an obvious red flag. As to the science, causality is much harder to ascertain than is correlation. In this case it appears to me that the foundational assumptions required by the CausalImpa

I've done quite a bit of remote MTB/gravel riding/touring (e.g. much of the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route [1]), and have settled on loading GPX tracks onto a Garmin head unit. Turn-by-turn is pretty useless, because the no

This is an interesting, if long, take on Rust's ranges and some of their creaky design elements. I found it particularly interesting due to having recently researched Rust's ranges while adding ranges to my own programming languag

I've been playing this as a road trip game since a friend introduced me to it in high school. Depending on the age of the people playing (and/or the fraction of concentration the driver needs to devote to driving) we also play wit

I disagree with your assessment that Dvorak has been obsoleted by other layouts. I used Dvorak 1998-2001, and again since 2018. Before I re-learned it in 2018 I did a bunch of research on Colemak, Workman, and the rich set of other optimize

I remember one of my first experiences with Facebook's HPHP, compiling a "hello world" PHP program. I can't remember anymore whether the binary was over 20 MiB or over 200 MiB (both seem plausible in retrospect!), but I

In my experience, the critical key to weight loss/maintenance is consistent logging. That can be a daily tally in your head, a phone app, paper, whatever. But it must be consistent . Whether you log calories, "points", and&#

I started using OCaml in 2017, and had a rough start. But since then Dune ( https://dune.build/ ) and the now-excellent LSP implementation have resolved the biggest issues I had. I haven't had such a pleasant development

Yes, but note the absence of syntactic support. Effects will be usable for writing libraries and experimentation, but routine use won't be very ergonomic until a later release.

The shift keys take up precious thumb cluster space, and their standard location is also useful. IMO the "best of both worlds" option is just worse.

by jasone 5y ago
Thumb shift keys are definitely an (incremental) improvement over the traditional placement, but they require a yet bigger commitment to retraining from the standard keyboard layout. I've been using Kinesis keyboards for 25 years, and

Yes, the cargo bike is much better for transporting children, for the simple reason that the children are suspended on the same wheels as the rider. Kid trailers have two wheels, typically of smaller diameter than normal bicycle wheels. Tha

Erlang APIs are designed around the availability of dynamic pattern matching on messages, but static message typing is definitely feasible. The only feature of Erlang that stands out me as fundamentally incompatible with static typing is &q

Counterpoint: I have used Kakoune for a year now, immediately following sixteen years of heavy vim use. I find Kakoune far more intuitive than vim, because the feature set composes so well. Within the first few weeks I understood the comm

Is there something about glass blowing which makes it air-inefficient? My vague recollection from my time as a low brass player in college is that the prof's lung capacity measuring apparatus (yes, really) put most of us in the 3-4L ra

A few years ago this was still true, but since then Dune (originally called jbuilder) has dramatically changed the ease with which OCaml projects can be set up. As for batteries included, there are several options for foundational libraries
