I'm normally one to hold a grudge. I still don't buy Sony products for something they did over a decade ago. In this case I think forgiveness is appropriate. There are obviously people working at Gitlab who have terrible ideas, bu

This reminds me of a story about how a tribe in the amazon jungle picks their camp site. They check the surrounding trees to make sure they are in good health. I imagine you would have to spend 1000 nights next to a tree they would regard a

It depends on the context. A simple example is that I count small numbers in German since I've been here so long, but larger numbers I still count in English. Perhaps you can identify a specific choice of language for specific use case

As an anarchist, I do wonder when peoples worship for democracy will come to an end. It's things like this that I hope will finally do it. Who cares if a majority wants something, the question is, what is right and just.

I absolutely adore slab serif and Bitter in particular. It's so clear and punchy. It's good on display, on print and on kindle and it's free too. The only downside I think is that people are sometimes distracted because they&

I have a keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+i mapped to this: alacritty -e /home/mbarkhau/bin/ipy and /home/mbarkhau/bin/ipy is this /home/mbarkhau/miniconda3/envs/py37/bin/

I'm working pretty much exactly on that. It's not at all fit for consumption yet though. This is a file I'm using for testing: https://gitlab.com/mbarkhau/litprog/blob/master/lit_v3/11

The point is to get as much money as possible duh. The fact is, a company is a fiction and the idea that you can tax a fiction is just...fiction. But if the state didn't do it, then one or all of the following might notice that in real
