When I was in junior school, a goat (named Billy, of course) used to stay in a part of a garden which was really steep. One day I happened to stroll in, and before I knew it, there was Billy between me and the gate. He had the beadiest litt

It's a pain if it isn't organized well. When it is organized well, it's the best. I have mpd+emms set up with an always on emms playlist window and dedicated dired window for my music collection. I can't say the same for

Playing music off youtube is now the norm in my circle. It's definitely going to dent sales. I don't like spotify and similar services, and try to buy my favorite music online if I can, but invariably am forced to torrents because

I came back here just to thank you for that. For others interested, newpipe is available on F-Droid. It has options for pop over video playback as well as background audio playback. Sure beats the always on Youtube app. It supports the imp

Sounded more like sarcasm to me, but I could be wrong.

Ditto for me.

A very beautiful repl indeed - It's got spit and polish!

I feel the same way at the same age. I've been feeling that I've been at my intellectual peak for many years now, and keeping my fingers crossed for the years to come.

Spot on. I believe the crux of the issue lies in the present bias toward officer safety, leading to an almost anything goes situation if the officer claims to have felt endangered. Which is quite ridiculous because the danger is always the

And bought a copy... ran it and the accompanying sample game, and it looks perfect for the job! We had tried Lua and Love before but find pico-8 sets a better environment.

Thanks for sharing. It looks like just the platform to get my daughter started.

I'm inclined to agree with you.

by kinleyd 8y ago
Indeed. And it seems like ages since the last one, so I'm really enjoy the current gush of talks.

Spot on. You described it very well. As a citizen of a country neighbouring India I find this reality saddening.

Thanks. "Skill through effort" is wonderfully worded - a perfect value to pass on to the young ones.

It's the same for me on reddit. After following only the subreddits that interest me, the engagement upped my knowledge and enthusiasm. Prior to that I didn't get reddit at all - now it supplements my HN addiction.

Mine too. Thank you.

At the end of the day, that is the best insurance, if one can do it. Even better is mind training - for the real slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.

I left my Facebook account idle for about 6 years now, and didn't miss it at all. Now I'm trying to delete it and I can't find the link to "Your Facebook Information" no matter where I look. This is where the delete

One powerful use of Excel is through Apache POI. Replace VB with the language of your choice, run all your logic and tests in that language, and spit out a spreadsheet at the end of it, all neatly formatted for your end users.

How much of the successful 'politics' would you say is actually sycophancy?

I'd be keen to see what 'Crazy Train' does.

Thank you - this sounds like a little gem.

At least you have a repair option. It's too late for me - I'm retired. ;)

As you say, that is an extremely moving letter. I would never have associated Doom with therapy - thanks for sharing. (I am a big fan of John Carmack and the id team.)

Yes, I see what you mean - it's easy for the collective level of class disruption to overwhelm the teacher, however good he/she may individually be.
148.
by kinleyd 8y ago
I appreciate the first point which I believe is a vital factor. Regarding the order of the second and third though, wouldn't the quality of teachers determine whether there are disruptive kids in the class in the first place?

On the strength of your recommendation, and an unwillingness to wait for the arch repos to update emacs, I went ahead and installed the master branch. So I'm now on version ... 27.0.50. Skipped 26.1. :) As you said, the change was smoo
