> The most interesting cultural observation thats not often talked about is bare emacs and bare vi are equivalent-ish, but all the "cool" stuff in emacs is in the addons. Agreed. That's pretty much the point. "GNU Ema

According to GNU, the second of the four essential freedoms is the right to study how the program works (among other things). One could argue that Stallman is not acting within the spirit of this right by being deliberately obstructive and

It's also helpful to put a date somewhere obvious on all pages, especially blog postings and the like. Readers will thank you that they aren't forced to scan the whole page to see whether what they're reading is recent or

SERIES is indeed quite a different approach. A more Lisp-idiomatic approach to iteration, though not so far from LOOP, is ITERATE. http://www.common-lisp.net/project/iterate/doc/Don_0027t-Loo...

What the scientific peer review needs is not anonymity, but accountability. Authors put their reputation on the line. Let reviewers put their reputation on the line too. Good reviews and good reviewers need to be appreciated, not anonymized

Soverign provides a good basis for an email server setup. It describes itself as a "set of Ansible playbooks to build and maintain your own private cloud: email, calendar, contacts, file sync, IRC bouncer, VPN, and more." https:&

What a racket-mode for emacs could really use is support for images in Racket files and for parsing the binary format thar DrRacket reverts to when a file contains images.

Two economists judge the relative suitability of a bunch of programming languages. I have to wonder how it would be received if two computer scientists wrote an article judging the relative merits of a bunch of economic models.

I also use DuckDuckGo as my primary search engine and have had very positive experience using it. But the single worst thing about ddg is that it's still not possible to deactivate the "did you mean?" functionality. I rarely

Narrative, it's all about the narrative! As an educator, I don't teach the book, I don't teach the chapter, I don't teach the lesson. Because that's not what you remember. What you remember is the story. It's a

It's worth noting that Lisp programmers value the quality of that language as being a "big ball of mud" but for other reasons. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_ball_of_mud#In_programming...

Call it extra cognitive load if you like but I find that DDG makes me think more about my searches and direct them using !bangs. I feel better about this than blindly letting Google take me where it wants.

I'd gladly read that. I'd also appreciate an option on the app to bypass the stories and cut straight to what ddg does best: no frills, no tracking search.

This app goes against the grain of DDG. Frankly I'm not interested in stories, I'm interested in search. I get my stories elsewhere. When I start the app I want to have a keyboard come up so that I can type in keywords. I don&#x27
