Is it even worth it to make cheese anywhere else than France, Switzerland and Italy mountains?

I just use emacs+evil for org only. Org is feature rich (bloated?) but these dynamic code blocks in documents are just too good. I prefer vim for everything else and the general "minimalist" approach in particular. Emacs seems to

“Industry” is much larger and diverse than academia. Abuse exists but is usually easier to escape from. That said, managers embarrassing and ignoring employees could be described as widespread. Not necessarily high in distribution nor inten

I do edit inline code and I have never had this issue. It is indeed a basic feature that should just work. Most probably a plug-in bug. Emacs, org and Babel are great to write “live” documents.

I use Hugo for projects, it’s plenty powerful and easy to automate with data. For personal stuff, I use org mode. It’s more free form and provides just enough publishing features. SSGs seems like popular bikeshedding matter.

Nice project, even though I only buy second hand thinkpad. I would be more interested in a more innovative approach regarding the keyboard than the ports. This was solved with usb3 for me.

Plenty of hacking, thorough documentation, nice style, thanks for sharing! Improving on latency, even a bit, is surprisingly noticeable and enjoyable.

It seems to be a set of opinions and self-quotes based on the frustration of a particular project management pattern, which includes micro-repos and micro-services. Managing dependencies, at build and run times, internal and external, seems

It’s always a trade off of many dimensions. Usually, if you are looking at resistance (pulling weight, navigating water, ...) more than speed, a bigger and slower engine provides the torque you want at low engineering costs, more resilience

TLDR: HP = torque x RPM / 5252 Such big engines runs at low RPM, below 1000 (I have not looked at this particular model). It's common for boats to run at 500. In comparison, my 2.2 liters 2007 diesel mercedes runs at around 2400 R

The solidity language was never fun to me. I abandoned experiments before vyper and yul, the alternatives I know about, were out. Everything felt at the same time fragile and definitive. Bad things would happen if you “deployed” a flawed co

Keyboards are recipes with varying proportions of ergonomics, style, DIY “hacking” ... depending on the person. It’s an accessible hobby, requiring less time, skills and resources than drone racing or woodworking... So you don’t “have to” s

Let aside the personal preferences, 60% was popularized by the gaming crowd: 1. Small means the mouse is closer to the keyboard 2. Games often rely on wasd instead of arrows 3. 40% cheaper for alternative switches and keycaps, or higher mar

... and a split space bar and QMK! The offer is pretty good for external keyboard enthusiasts. One can buy a controller, hand wire switches to it and scatter them over a sphere, with custom celestial keycaps for a hundred dollars. On laptop

Prost and Senna were the classic manga blue and red characters. They played their roles well, to the end. That said, as a teenager, F1 was this weird motorsport that played live on Sunday afternoon, that my uncles enjoyed to watch after a f

Grammar was very much a class thing, imposed top-down. However, one had to wonder how Icelanders came up with the rotten-shark-in-a-clay-pot, french with garlic and snails. It feels like survival tactics turned cuisine grammar.
