Yeah, the "draw_car" snippet quoted by parent is from the JS file that you linked. It looks like maybe an SVG file converted into JS? Do you know if there is some standard tooling that generates this?

That is true, but Boeing wasn't always the only player in aircraft manufacturing either. Even subsidizing two or three players so that they can compete might be better for safety and quality than letting them merge and operate as a com

Car manufacturing is similar in a lot of ways yet notably different in the putting all eggs in the same basket sense that parent mentions. Ford and GM are too big to fail yet they do compete and it does lead to at least one of them making d

Much agreed with this. There is no area of science nor social science that we don’t understand better today than we did 70 years ago. For one thing, we understand statistical methods much better. We have a much better sense of what theories

R is pretty good to boot, and has been around since the 1990s too. I would’ve said that Excel is the assembly of data manipulation and dplyr is the command line. The higher level of abstraction and the guardrails help.

Other than it helping you as a source when you need to recall facts, have you noticed this habit changing you or how you experience going through your day?

You’re right. 3dfx is an earlier story.

I think it’s this that keeps LaTeX alive, and the fact that as academics we already know it but Typst is a new DSL to learn on top of everything else that our job requires us to do. There’s also some tooling that makes LaTeX not wholly unpl

Kakoune too. But if a project focuses on a novel editing model and not some other aspect of an editor, then implementing it inside Emacs might be the best approach. If implemented inside Emacs, then it composes with the rest of its package

Does this mean that only the printing machinery is not eliminated or that other parts of stdlib are present in the binary too even though unused?
348.
by nequo 3y ago
Due to dead code elimination, the compiler already omits all of that part of stdlib that your code doesn’t use.

Basic CUA bindings are good but I hope you didn’t stop learning Vim at jumping to the beginning/end of the line. Vim bindings do way more than that. I have physical discomfort editing serious text in a browser, and I know about Ctrl+ar

Atom is not around. Not 100 percent sure that VSCode will be around. (But I also don’t think that this should hold anyone back who finds VSCode to fit their needs best. There’ll be something else that will take its place.)

TFA is a useful write up. Making partial commits convenient is one of the killer features of Magit to me.

This is not econometrics though. Actual econometrics is upfront that you have missing data, performs partial identification rather than pretending that you have point identification, and gives you upper and lower bounds on what the true par

If you see conclusions drawn from country level data, you’ve gotta be careful. Unfortunately, there is a field of economics that uses such data extensively. Other fields have a, shall we say, weaker taste for it.
