On Android I would probably use Chrome if it weren't for a particular bug. I mean Chrome comes with my tablet and cannot be removed, so I'll use it unless I can't. But MathJax doesn't work in Chrome for Android and works

Firefox for Android also has nicer default fonts and MathJax works! (MathJax on Chrome for Android renders with parts of formulas overlapping other parts and overlapping surrounding text.)

All were in agreement that it is not creepy, though some felt it was borderline. I wonder how much of the feeling that this was not creepy came from the fact that he wrote the code himself. To me these two sounds pretty different: "I

I know I'll sound like I am an old man yelling "Get off my lawn!", but as far as I can tell this is a text-mode application but it is not a commandline interface. Note that it's only the HN submission title that gets i

I like that the first thing the documentation says is that "class FatRat is Cool". :) Being cool seems to mean having automatic conversion to and from strings: http://doc.perl6.org/type/Cool

There is already a well-developed shell with rich data structures and a fairly reasonable programming language: Microsoft's PowerShell. Sadly it is not a Unix shell. You're probably aware of it, but if not, check it out for design

Your typo can be easily fixed by a Python one-liner: >>> (lambda w:w[2:]+w[:2])(''.join(sorted("Phyton",key=lambda c:math.sin(ord(c)^50)))) 'Python'

I read my GMail email in a desktop client and on my tablet and have no problem. Why did you have to switch away from gnus?

If you ask me web browser's stole CTRL+S! It used to mean "save my work", but in a browser it means "download a copy of the website I am viewing", which seems totally different to me. I can't remember ever wa

Your remark about modern computers being really fast and software still managing to be slow doesn't just apply to Atom, really lots of software is frustrating in that way. Maybe that's why people accept this as normal: because sad

Haskell does not force you to indicate that a function has possible side effects in the program source code , the type of the function will however have such an indication. Here main has type IO (), and the IO indicates it can do arbitrary

Are you saying that the Flash plugin bundled with Chrome is better than the Flash plugin you can install for Firefox? If so, do you have any idea why?

What problems do you have with eshell?
675.
by omaranto 12y ago
Does eshell lack pipes? I thought it had pipes and output redirection and lacked only input redirection.

Do you have any other example of an Emacs application assuming it is the only thing running? I ask because I use Emacs a fair bit and don't think I've ever come across something like that.

> Eshell's weakness compared to shell is that it can't do pipes. I thought eshell had both pipes and output redirection but lacked input redirection.

I suggest changing "it" to "SimCity" in the second sentence: > Ultimately it's a game to be played for entertainment, and if you can get some people to think about social issues as they play it that's wonder

Yes, but he still keeps the awkward Awk code with the substr and such. I haven't benchmarked, maybe that's faster than the pretty regex matches.

And it seems that even though their C implementation is not as fast as compiled code from, say, GCC would be, the mix of Ruby and C can run faster than using compiled C extensions from another Ruby implementation! This is due to cross-bound

Now it's more in line with my experience of Nim usually being quite a bit faster than Rust, not to mention much easier to write and less verbose (text munging code in Rust seemed to be about 15% calls to as_slice() and to_string ()).

Anyone can do that, even people that know where they should type the URL! Do you always carefully check that the right box has the keyboard focus before you start typing?

I'd suggest sticking "Mac only" somewhere in the submission title, to save a lot of people a little bit of time.

I think what ExpiredLink1 meant is what millstone says here [1], which I took to mean that although you don't need to know C before learning C++, psychologically it may help to know about C (i.e., that a language called C existed b

A bit of googling turned up this pricing sheet where Chez Scheme is listed on page 88 (it says $65 per unit or $325 for 10, so buy your Chez's in bulk!): http://www.centurylink.com/business/asset/channel/

Doesn't what you wrote work in a different, slower, way? I had in mind something analogous to r = [] for x in range(5): if 2>x: for y in range(5): r.append((x,y)) I think what you wrote probably

They should implement Python's list comprehensions in full. Right now Hy only allows one generator clause and one if clause, something like (list-comp (, x y) (x (range 5)) (> x 2) (y (range 2))) gives an error about list_c

I think he or she meant a specialized set data structure that stores sets of numbers which can be written as finite unions of interval. Typically besides set operations you'd also want (1) that only endpoints of the intervals are store
