I don't think vim.dev will go as far as installing evil-mode.

As a general rule, the Emacs faith does not proselytise. That being said, welcome to the GNU side, oh brethren! Your official Texinfo manuals and GNU Emacs reference cards are already in the electronic post. Elisp services begin at nine and

I can't believe we've accepted the term "ad fraud" for this, as if we were being any more deceptive than the ad industry is, or as if we had signed a contract that we violated. As if not truthfully clicking on ads were a

I feel that whenever Lena is mentioned, we should also give a shoutout to the researchers who were fed up with her and decided to use Fabio instead. https://arxiv.org/abs/1202.6429 What do you guys (yes, guys) think ab

In my country we have a saying: la matemática entra por la mano, no por los ojos -- mathematics is absorbed with your hands, not with your eyes.

Wait, I recognise that name. "MikeeUSA". > I wholeheartedly /support/ sexism, as-long as it is not against men. Isn't he a known provocateur? Are we being provoked?

Hate crime laws exist because hate crimes have a worse effect on society. Someone being killed because they were (say) black makes other black people afraid of being killed for the same reason. Hate spreads and can motivate other aggressors

So why don't men just deposit their salary into their wives' bank accounts? It's all the same, isn't it? Legally 50%, no matter whose bank account it's in? That's what I do. My salary goes into my wife's b

It's the same as when "Black Lives Matter" is shouted back at with "All Lives Matter". It doesn't actually help nor highlight the individual and unique plight of a particular group. It's just a shouting at

It's really interesting how back in the 50s-70s, programming was considered boring, clerical women's work and the architecture side of things was considered men's work. The attitude at the time was that the men did the real w

I find this kind of comment a bit off-putting. Women deserve a focus. Other people also deserve a focus. They should also get it. But for now, this article is about giving women a focus. Talking about giving other people a focus seems to be

Using zero probability on infinite sets to ascertain the inexistence of an object doesn't work. Lots of things have measure zero in an infinite set. For example, out of all the integers, the probability of picking 7 is zero. Any finite

Ads are the problem in itself. Nobody likes them, at best we tolerate them and or manage to ignore them. So why have something that nobody likes? They're not inevitable, and society can function without ads.

Okay, let's pick something rarer. Rational numbers. If you integrate the characteristic function of the rational numbers over any interval, you get zero because rational numbers are very rare. So they don't exist either? To be les

I know, but it's being exhibited as an example of how back-of-the-envelope type of approximations by physicists can be just as good as rigid mathematical thinking. And I don't find this to be a convincing example of how loose phys

This proof (or "plausibility argument") bugs me so much. Just because something thins out and becomes rare doesn't mean it doesn't exist. As n gets bigger, the probability of n being a perfect square gets smaller and sma

This is why I can't support Brave. They see it as a foregone conclusion that the only way to make sure the internet doesn't starve it so make sure we all watch ads, and they think that if they can make the ads nicer, we'll al

I hope you're not just justifying to yourself why you shouldn't learn about something new and interesting. I'm well aware that everything is git. This doesn't mean that everything should be git.

I admit, I do `hg help revsets` with some regularity, because I do need to look up the right functions that can perform the query I want, but it's really just a reference check, not a check on the syntax of the language.

Mercurial support, fuck yeah: https://hg.sr.ht/ This is the killer feature for me. Why Mercurial? Here’s a list of Mercurial features that I think are really cool: Revsets – a domain-specific language for querying your comm

And don't forget the word "second". I'd have to explain that one too. And then I'd have to explain the words I used to explain these words. It all just takes a while. I might be able to do it, but we'd both nee

Because the symbols' translation to English words changes on context, culture, and even author. It's like trying to translate the word "rain" only by hearing it without having the context if it really meant "reign&q

One of the most famous "legal hacks", Richard Stallman's copyleft, had to be rewritten by a lawyer. rms wrote GPLv1 by himself and you should never use it. GPLv2 is the version that was actually vetted by a lawyer. A similar

Because it is super-risky to consider these things on their own merits if you are not the kind of person who regularly interacts with judges and juries. Laws are something that are applied within a particular kind of, ah, culture. You have

Did you know what the words meant? Can you read this and except for the symbols understand everything else? I don't think the symbols are the problem. They're a very superficial obstacle, at least in this paper. This isn't me
