It's "bad form" to write STEM papers in Word. Which is stupid, of course, as every major publisher offers both Word and LaTeX templates. I wish they'd offer Typst too.

DICE is awesome. I'm bummed when I need to use anything else. I rarely ever need to use Ticketmaster.

Even Python has str.splitlines, which accepts a range of line separators (not just LF and CRLF), and the same when iterating over a file handle (which iterates over lines). You're right, this is a complete nonissue.

You're right, of course. But today , it's not a risk worth taking, at least not for professional writing where the suspicion of LLM writing can be damning.

I agree that S-expressions for defining data are pretty nice, but you don't need to actually use a Lisp to use them. You can just use them like you would XML.

Python (with types), Go or Rust, depending on the complexity. I really missed static types in Clojure. I think no Lisp does static typing well. I guess there's Coalton, but it's too niche.

Python, Go, or Rust, depending on the complexity. Python (with strict typing) for the simplest ones, or those where startup time wasn't a concern, Go for the medium-complexity ones that I could do with only the standard library, and Ru

> You don’t program in Lisp, do you? Not anymore. I started with Racket and went through the Little Schemer. I did Clojure for a while. I even used Babashka to write all my scripts, then later rewrote them in other languages. I gave it a

I don't see why Lisp's history would necessarily imply the family is worth learning in 2026. What (other than macros) do lisps offer that other modern languages don't?

If you're someone who can separate the work from the author, sure. She's a very intelligent person. Many of us can't.

You can use Typst 100% for free, just like LaTeX. There's a CLI for compilation, there's an LSP, code formatter, etc. Complaining that the web app has a paid tier is like complaining that Overleaf is paid. As for why people shill

There are different licenses that used to be referred to as "MIT", and explicitly stating "Expat" tells you which one they're referring to (in this case, the "standard" one). This is largely unnecessary, a

As long as you can express everything you need on the library's terms. As soon as you write a Python loop, your performance plummets.

The university doesn't « ban » using the OpenAI APIs directly. It's a question of funding. If you want to use OpenAI, you usually use your own account and ask the university for a refund later, where you justify your usage. It&#x

Considering this is from academia, there's a chance there were limitations on the available models. My research group accesses OpenAI models via Azure, and until recently (last week) the latest model was GPT 5. We just got 5.4.

It's not a punch in the face. The US executed decapitation strikes meant to kill the country's leadership and bombed civilians. Your analogy doesn't apply.

What is this argument? Iran only started blocking after they were attacked by the US. They didn't wake up one day and decided to block the strait. If something happened due to your unprovoked action, it's your fault.
