The K&R book is a great example of clear technical writing, but it's also quite terse. I'd recommend C Programming: A Modern Approach by K. N. King instead, as it uses a more gentle pedagogical approach.

My preferred solution is to map Caps Lock to Control, then map Control-Space to exiting insert mode in Vim. That way, I get improved convenience both in Vim and in other programs, such as the shell and web browsers.

This is a matter of definitions but my impression is that in common usage, the whole field of psychology is considered a part of the social sciences.

I definitely don't object to calling out particular subfields when they're non-empirical and heavily influenced by ideology, which I know happens. What I object to are sweeping generalizations that the whole thing is "not sci

This middlebrow dismissal is way too broad and makes me suspect that your only interaction with social science is via popular media. You'd have a good point if you said "poorly done science" rather than "not science&quot

I think so. Their algorithms aren't known to be optimal though, just better than the previous ones.

That was my thought too. The author says that the memory usage grows extremely quickly; I wonder if there's a way to reduce it.

I'm happy to see that Neovim is still going strong. Most promising text editor projects (xi, oni2, ...) seem to stall after 1-4 years, so this is a pleasant surprise. To be honest, I wish that the Neovim devs had forked Emacs instead o

> A fully compatible re-write I don't think this is entirely accurate. The projects have diverged somewhat, so I'd call Neovim a "mostly compatible fork".

Usually you compile for the lowest common denominator. For example, the version of GCC I use defaults to -march=x86-64 , which is a common subset of instructions that should be supported by a 64-bit x86 CPU. You can override this with an a

Great library. I use it to extract the references from scientific papers in my personal project and it performs well even on tricky PDFs.

Language differences really don't make this easy. For example, in Polish "respirator" means ventilator and "wentylator" means fan (like the kind you'd put on your desk on hot days).
