   It's like old Perl idiom where Python's 'ab cd ef'.split(), would be written as qw(ab cd ef), which probably looks nicer --'qw' stands for 'quote words', I think.

   You mean Clojure's startup-time, the JVM starts up pretty fast! http://nicholaskariniemi.github.io/2014/02/11/jvm-slow-start...

   I couldn't figure out what the X meant at all, until reading the replies to your comment. You're saying that to you it means a dispute? Where have you seen it used that way?

   I'm going to guess the answer is yes, but possibly not out of the box.

   Nobody said Detroit was a food desert or that it had no grocery stores. The claim was that it had no supermarket. You said "don't spread this lie" but then gave no evidence it was a lie. Is it a lie (I wouldn't know)?

   He's as famous as posible for a mathematician: every mathematician knows about him, even probably most undergraduate math majors, but only a few non-math people have heard of him.

   By "puzzling", I guess you mean "good (yay for modularization!)". :)

   Try adding (require 'org-table) to your .emacs. My guess is that you only have (require 'org-install) or something like that currently. (Running the org-mode function will load several org libraries, including org-table, if they a

    Why? If you have a browser plugin that can display PDFs they seem as convenient as a webpage to me. Better in some ways: usually layed out better, often faster to navigate and sometimes even smaller to download considering how bloated websi

    I don't think there is a bundled extension available. I personally don't know how to make one. To use it on my computer I just opened up the installed vanilla extension (turns out they are just compressed bundles of source code) a

    Thanks! I'll stick with i3 even though I am a fan of lisp, because it did what I wanted with very little configuration.

    Does anyone have experience with both StumpWM and i3? How do they compare? I'm happy with i3, but am curious about other similar window managers.

    I don't understand: surely with pencil and paper you are able to see the code you are editing?

    I would say the main difference is scope: SymPy is aiming for traditional CAS territory: algebra with elementary functions, calculus, ODEs, elementary number theory, plotting. Sage aims to include tools for computations in all parts of math

    When I use Vim or Emacs, forward/backward incremental search is the main cursor navigation. :) So, to answer your question about what it's like: it's great!

    I only found Vim syntax highlighting annoyingly slow on TeX, LaTeX and Pandoc Markdown (which supports embedded TeX math formulas), so maybe the TeX syntax highlighter is the single source of slowness. (Also, there is a tex-slow section of

    You mean startup time without using the server and client setup is too slow, right? (That's easily solved by, well, using the server and client setup, of course.) I find that in actual operation Emacs is faster and that's the re

    I guess list comprehensions in Python are, as you say, similar to map and filter from the FP world, but they are even more similar to... list comprehensions from the FP world.

    Of course it would be unoriginal! Do it anyway, it's a good way to explain usage.

    That line also caught my eye. It sounds insane: isn't it much more reasonable to recomend books based on their quality rather than the language they are written in? I agree with you that "Le Langage Caml" is a pretty good boo

    I think we're in complete agreement: most of the time you don't need a citation for a program you use because the result can be easily verfied. And I agree that what you call a fallacy is a fallacy, I was just pointing out that op

    You're right. I still wouldn't recommend looping over indices, but rather using itertools.islice(xs, 1, None) instead of xs[1:].
