I don't run Emacs as a server because it freezes occasionally and it's very painful to have a couple dozen windows in eight workspaces go down. If I could rely on Emacs never freezing, I'd be happy to run it as a server.

xkill ? But I agree. Emacs should be faster.

You'd tax global profit based on the local revenue fraction. So if the corporation has global profits of 1M and the revenue is 90% in country A and 10% in country B, then country A taxes 0.9M of profit and country B taxes 0.1M of profi

There's probably a trademark / misrepresentation / self image rights angle that could be argued, same as with say faces. That wouldn't seem unfair to me. It should require a lot more than just pitch similarity imo.

English spelling is inconsistent. English phonology is complex. These are different things.

Say YT censors after publication, NYT censors before. If you're liable either way, then the first model is just not possible.

The hardware could easily be designed so that whenever the light is turned on, it cannot be turned off for a second or w/e. Seems like an obvious solution.

From looking at the article, it appears that no dolphin has been sighted in the Venice canals at all.

There is a much more effective way to prevent people from buying more than they need... limit sales to x items per buyer, or rationing. The only thing rising costs ensure is that people without money don't get anything.

I write mostly C++ and Scheme and last year I wrote my first piece of code in modern Fortran (I had some experience porting/integrating old F77 libs). It's trivial to interface with C and lets you do numeric stuff immediately and

I build Guile on the Mac regularly. I need to pass the paths to these 4 libraries to configure: libgmp, libunistring, libiconv, and libreadline. The libraries themselves I get from MacPorts. Then make check && make install. Doesn&#x

I've been a Guile user since 2001 or 2002 and all these years it's been a workhorse for me. Even before there was a compiler or before the compiler started getting better, Guile was a solid choice for embedding. Each of the altern

That's why I put the speed in quotes. I get about 900 Mbps both ways on my computer that has only a 1 Gbps port.

I pay about that for ‘10 Gbps’ in CH. I don't even have a machine with a 10 Gbps port, but there isn't anything cheaper here that makes sense.

APL let you choose. It was only trouble and then Iverson made J 0-based.

Hand counting of paper ballots is a highly parallel process that can be done quickly at any scale. The only reason to introduce counting machines is so that someone can extract money from it.

A solution would be to give you a fixed space, then make the font smaller or narrower as you write more. It's a softer limit and it accommodates CJK because usually those characters are bigger.

I was in the UK a few months ago for a meeting and they had a plate of sorts in the room with a list of company guidelines. One of them was ‘Everybody sells’. It seems obvious but I'd never seen it put so starkly.

The question was about automatic differentiation vs the method in the article (the complex step method) which is essentially a defective variant of automatic differentiation with a spurious numerical parameter. Automatic differentiation wor
