I loved the Ggplot2 when I used it several years ago. But at the time (not sure if it's still true), I found this book essential to understand how to use the library beyond the simple examples. This github repo is interesting becaus

Not sure. I hate the Lenovo style "the whole clickpad moves so much when you click that you're almost certain to miss" thing. But I also hate the soft "you have no idea if you just clicked or not, do you" thing to

I will not buy a laptop that doesn't have physical buttons on the touchpad. The reliability of knowing that my clicks are exact, saves me time and frustration. Sadly this is my only reason to not own a Purism. But if you are consider

I have to agree. Sounds like a lot of people here like it, but I find it confusing. One example I see on this page is "be-fore", In my head it is "be. fore." and suddenly this word seems to have a lot more emphasis than

Does anyone know what the relationship is between Knuth/Plass (or similar pretty-line-wrapping algos, if others exist), and Unicode? I know Unicode has their own line-wrap algorithm, but is it possible to use both?

Does this not have any relationship to Construct, the python library for doing the same thing? https://construct.readthedocs.io/ Seems weird that it's not even mentioned. I thought it would be a port.

Ironic, because that was the beginning of Facebook. Sort of the whole point was to have public conversations and pictures. Also I think that would be huge and cause some number of people to quit facebook, but I'm confident it wouldn&#

I'm not really sure why there are any real reviews on sites like Amazon, Yelp etc. Why do people leave reviews; what's in it for them? Is it some strange form of altruism where they're helping their fellow anonymous shopp

They’re hard to look up but you need to check “commercial” series. I bought a 55” 4k LG dumb tv a year ago and I’m quite happy with it. Simple remote, no hassle. The downsides are that it only has two HDMI inputs and afaik no antenna for ov
