Scary in what sense? Could you elaborate whether you are talking in terms of security, backdoors etc. or just buggy badly organized code?

I use this on Windows. For a large hosts file (several megabytes), I find the DNS client service hangs until it reads the whole file. Further, there is also a noticeable delay in the order of a few seconds until the hostname is resolved. Fo

Quite a few sources actually. Beware, some of them can be too restrictive. If the hosts file is too big, it can also impact performance. http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.zip (too restrictive) http://hosts-file.n

A more scientific study on the benefits of fasting leading to improved cell regeneration was posted on HN a few days ago. Here's the corresponding journal paper http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.stem.2014.04.014 (paywal

Chrome based browsers have µBlock[1] and µMatrix[2] extensions to mitigate this very issue of hogging resources. Unfortunately these are not ported to Firefox yet. EDIT: Links to source code for both [1] https://github.com/go

I just used figure as an example. If there's no predefined keystroke or function available such as in the case of LaTeX macros that you tend to use frequently, snippets can be of use. Of course one can do without them, but they're

Anyone seriously considering Emacs for LaTeX editing should also take a look at the yasnippet package. The customizable autocompletion shortcuts make it really easy to insert commands using just keywords. In my case this has proved to be

TL;DR - Nuitka (which has been garnering some attention on HN today - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8771925 ) is not as fast as CPython and less faster than PyPy for the chosen scenario (enumeration of a fat graph a

Agreed. Having the package manager in built has taken away the pain of having to search the horrible 'emacswiki' for code snippets and tweaking them to get it working. It has also enabled me to try out plenty of new packages which

Congrats Tcl indeed. One of my fondest memories working with Tcl was in the EDA industry. Thanks to its legacy, Tcl/Tk enjoys widespread usage in the entire workflow - from logic design to sign-off. Quite odd to think that development

May not be true of what passes for slums in the US, but in other countries the next house in a slum begins where the current one ends. With hardly any windows to let natural light in, the indoors are quite dark even during the day. So yes,
