   The semantic web is alive and well. It's just not in the places you're looking. I recommend checking out indieweb.org for a community devoted to building on the semantic web. Just because the big websites aren't using it does

   I'm not disagreeing that this is good content, but doesn't having to reread something or relisten to something indicate that the pedagogical approach could have been better rather than that the teacher is a good teacher? In genera

   Curious why you brought up Julia here? We really don't seem to have the dogmatic FP advocates you're describing here, and the language is much more oriented to an imperative style than a functional style anyway.

   Julia's numpy equivalent is basically the standard Array type from the standard library, which I'm 99% sure is native Julia.

   Thank you! I've been looking for this and didn't even realize. ob-julia is awful; really hope this can be made to work better. Also several obscure languages I've wanted to include snippets of in org that actually have Jupyte

   I recommend matrix[1] which has a fairly nice set of clients in Riot[2]. It's better than OTR in that it supports e2e group chat and multiple devices. [1] https://matrix.org [2] https://riot.im

    The problem I've always had with XMPP is that any time I try to do something with it, I get lost in an endless sea of RFCs with no idea of which are important for my use-case (most RFC titles seem fairly jargon-heavy to me). Then, when

    So it's basically evernote but with everything public-facing? I'm not sure I see the advantage of something like this over a simple shared filesystem.

    I'm not a user of Elixir or of Erlang. I stumbled upon this article, and I'm now thinking about giving it a try. The "guns" analogy was an interesting take, and I wanted to hear what HN thought.

    Can you buy bikes that come with internal gearhubs on the consumer market, or is this always an aftermarket thing nowadays?

    Ah. I think I was getting robustness and efficiency mixed up. I suppose if you have sufficient electric assist, efficiency becomes less of a concern.

    Author seems to think an internal drivetrain for a bike would be more reliable. Maybe somebody more mechanical can chime in, but my understanding was that the opposite was true: only reason cars have to use an internal drivetrain is for coo

    Have you dabbled with Julia [1] before? It sounds like it might be right up your alley. It's not a lisp, but it's very "lispy" in a lot of ways, and it's focused on scientific/numeric computing with an active c

    History presented in this post was very interesting, but the analysis ended up disappointing. The article ends just after they had managed to narrow their sample of robots.txt files to exclude duplicate and derivative files. They don't

    This isn't really a true canonicalization since it doesn't define an ordering. I was actually hoping it was. The matrix project [0] invented their own json canonicalization so that they could have servers meaningfully sign it. Was

    I just really hate that there doesn't appear to be any way of getting RSS links to podcasts from Apple's database using just a browser. I have no other reason to have itunes installed and won't be installing it just for this.
