That would explain the strangeness of the recent spherical cows article from the same site, as well.

The name makes it seem like it's related to the MicroPython project, rather than just written in it, which feels slightly misleading to me.

I don't know why, but I would have expected higher speeds. Maybe my mind just assumes "lasers = fast". It would be interesting to know which factors make this setup unreliable at higher speeds.

Agreed; I think there are plenty of valid criticisms of Duolingo but that hey are more productive if we start with an honest appraisal of which things are realistic alternatives. (And good work on the treadmill, keep it up!)

A lot of Duolingo criticisms to me read like someone saying "I was walking on a home treadmill for 30 minutes every day but I didn't really get in shape until I started spending 5 hours each week in the gym with a professional tra

Right; I didn't mean to imply it was the same justices or anything. Just an interesting contrast, is all.

There are a handful of projects for making vim available in any textbox. They work by having some kind of hotkey that opens a temporary file in vim and then pasting the contents of that file into the original program when vim is closed. Exa

I feel like they'd have some interest in publicizing the worst of human drivers to make robots seem better in comparison, and this could tie into that.

It's still on my to-be-read list, but anyone exploring the Russian/Tolkien rabbit hole might also like The Last Ringbearer, which is a retelling from the other side's perspective. The English translation was never officially
