   Right - for example, we didn't even know about phtyo-nutrients until recently. Still, if it only replaces the mexican tortilla chips I eat regularly, I'll probably still come out ahead.

   There was something about the old space quest games that was really creepy, somehow the lack of fidelity in graphics really intensified the alienness.. Or it could just be nostalgia. http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http%

   Just a wild guess, but I wonder if there could be a nice connection between probabilistic programming and logic languages like prolog, if only due to the fact that both Bayes graphs and unification both have this "run forwards and bac

    You read my mind - Bitstream is my goto font as is great cross platform too. Monaco has a bit more personality, but for some reason the font breaks down at different sizes and on linux or windows. I'm going to try out fira as well - l

    I've seen more than one talk where the presenter lamented a lack of highlighting based on highly nested structures. So, for example, changing the color based on the closure that one is in. Or, changing the color based on the executi

    Initially it was exciting, but I got turned off when I realized how much the two sides hate each other, and how much that hate festered into petty dramas. The last thing I need is a reason to hate on and talk shit about other people for a

    The more obscure languages you use through, the more the only good support you'll find is with emacs compared to ST. See ocaml, fsharp, haskell, clojure, prolog, scala etc... But for html, CSS, js, ruby, ST is pretty good
