The emacs out-of-box experience is notoriously poor, as evidenced by the rise and popularity of emacs starter packs, some of which have been on the hn front page of late. I've been using emacs since 2002 or so and until very recently i

Protohackers was cool because, unlike Advent of Code, the problems seem to have less focus on "can you recognize which classic CS algorithm this is" followed by implementating them with a gotcha. The best AOC challenges were the o

Equally serious question: what is the use case for Access? It's been installed on every corp workstation I've had and it's never been useful. In my experience either Excel can do it or you need a real programming language&#x

I've been using emacs for years, and I use org to write latex documents because writing actual latex is awful, but I don't really see what drives such org mode fanaticism. You're at a bbq and someone invites you to a ski trip

Your precious Russia went from "we'll take Kyiv in 3 days" to, more than a year later, still being unable to achieve air superiority and fielding T-55 museum pieces as its soldiers eat moldy rations. That is complete and utte

I don't think I suggested the Ukrainians have superiority at all. If anything the fact that the Russians, despite their staggering incompetence, can employ drones effectively suggests that this new weapon system is an even more signifi
