Why does being an analyst for an MLS team sound more interesting than being an analyst for a Premier League team?

This change also fixes the Julia issue that bothered me the most personally: if in a comprehension with nested loops any of the non-outermost ones was over an empty sequence, you'd get an error.

I wouldn't call Rust and Go object oriented. Scala is, but not also mentioning it has great support for functional programming is misleading.

The length of a list is fixed if you don't use any operation that changes the length of the list. :)

Do you expect most programmers to have CS degrees?

Parenthesis are paired and have their usual function of groupoing. You are correct about brackets and braces though. Personally I do think J is often hard to read, but not because of the unbalanced brackets and braces.

Did you read any J programs? It is just as terse as APL. (Probably K is pretty terse too, but I won't comment on it as I only know J.)

As a very minor point I think I like the names Mathematica uses a little better: instead of "gathering" and "gather", they are called "reap" and "sow", respectively.

Well, defunct is a little harsh since its succesor Pure really is quite similar: https://agraef.github.io/pure-lang/

I think it's correct as stated. Usually machine integer arithmetic is performed modulo 2^bits.

Microoptimizing a couple of things, I'd do this from the top of the buffer: <F3> M-f M-u C-n C-a C-0 <F4> I particularly like combining the "finish recording" and "running the macro" steps into

I agree that nl is better for line numbering, but have you really never used cat with arguments? One of the most common use cases is for concatenating files: cat file1 file2 > combined-file There file1 and file2 are arguments. W

My impression was that Clojure's popularity was comparable to Kotlin and Scala's. Is that not the case?

It's not just nice but necessary. I didn't give up Feedly because it was merely incovenient, but because I often couldn't understand a blog post without the formulas.
377.
by omaranto 9y ago
I dropped Feedly for the most basic reason possible: it didn't display my feeds readably. I read a lot of math blogs and the TeX formulas in them didn't show up in Feedly (and maybe a few did appear but with incorrect spacing). In

I doubt XSLT is any easier to write than a new Org export backend, but that's probably a matter of personal preference.

by omaranto 9y ago
I doubt there's anything actually wrong with the HTML that Org produces that would keep you from putting it in a blog, but you can certainly configure things to your liking. At the very least you can easily modify the HTML preamble and

I've been pretty happy with Orgzly on Android, but that's probably because I don't want that much from it. I don't really like typing more than a sentence or two at a time on a phone, so I never expected to do any seriou

Oh, I see. I had forgotten that. They do also work in Emacs and I wouldn't be surprised to learn that their use in Emacs predates Vim.

Oh, if you like those bindings in insert mode, you are probably already aware of Tim Pope's vim-rsi [1] plugin. If not, check it out, it might have some interesting bindings you aren't using yet. [1] https://github.com&

All seven are default keybindings in Emacs. Which two did you believe weren't?

by omaranto 9y ago
Those OS X keybindings come from Emacs! I bet some vimmers would refuse to use them just on principle. :)

In grad school (for math) I used to procrastinate by doing Project Euler problems. I've got that bad habit under control since then (for example, logging in just now, the site told me I haven't done a problem in 56 days!), and am

> It really is much more about math than programming This illustrates one of my favorite things about Project Euler. How you perceive it depends totally on your background: programmers say it's mostly math, math people say it'

How do you handle syncing in orgzly? My current approach is "remember to hit the sync button", but apparently I suck at that. :) At least it's easy to fix sync conflicts in Emacs using ediff.

It's not just plugins slow Vim down, a few things that come with Vim are slow too. The worst is probably language specific support for LaTeX files, particularly syntax highlighting, there is even a tex-slow ( http://vimdoc.so

The scripting language would most likely be JavaScript, of course. I don't use VS Code and I'm surprised there isn't already a lightweight way to run some JavaScript code to script the editor. Are you saying you need to bundl
