Do you review/puruse/read all your org-mode notes straight from within Emacs itself? Do you ever convert them to HTML, PDF, EPUB, etc.? If you do, what tools do you use to convert org-mode to these alternative formats? If you don&

The problem I have with Markdown is its lack of standardization. I know there is CommonMark but CommonMark is a classic case of https://xkcd.com/927/ Every Markdown spec differs from others in one way or the other and

Can someone explain to me what are we seeing in the short film? I see some black and white animation with boxes moving and some noisy lines on it. But I'm not sure I understand what it means. Anyone can help me understand?

No such reason. I'm willing to try out AsciiDoc. I mean I did not try AsciiDoc until now because there are so many choices of input formats and the ones I've tried so far have been disappointing one way or the other. I talked abou

I don't think it confirms that. It seems to be one of the popular theories they investigated. Later they say - "In both field and lab conditions, insects rarely head directly towards, but consistently fly orthogonal to the light s

Can I request some more insights about it? If I want to be doing something else, why isn't Fortran a good fit? Lack of extensive stdlib like Python and Go?
