My point was that Sparta was far more dependent on slave labour for its existence than either Rome or Athens.

I got so used to how narrow Iosevka is that I think I'd find it challenging to find a replacement at this point. Any other typefaces that are on the narrower side?

It's very interesting how _flat_ the curve (of # of drinks vs # of ingredients). I expected a HUGE bump when going from 2 to 3 to 4 ingredients; instead it only starts to go noticeably up after 7 ingredients or so.

Don't get me wrong, I'm loving Doom and have used it full time for a few years now. But over time I've started being uncomfortable with the fact that I don't fully understand the editor, don't fully appreciate the d

Indeed. I myself am on Doom Emacs but I've increasingly been thinking of moving over to vanilla Emacs. I'm a bit worried about the transition period due to all the keybind differences but I'm sure it's not too bad.

I think a big part of this whole discussion (and why it's always such a divisive topic) is that there are so many factors to consider that there is no one single golden bullet. An industry standard just makes this issue go away; also i

> The single biggest obstacle a beginner hits with any language is not the conceptual understanding. It is the install. Is that _really_ the case? I find it very unlikely (not just in an OCaml context).

I was under the impression that IMO is conducted in an official "exam" capacity, on site and in a very formal setting. So I find it hard to believe _direct_ LLM usage would be a factor Then again - it very well could be a factor i

This is a bit off-topic (though tangentially related) - does anyone remember a similar blog where the author would do something like a "5 minute paper" review, i.e. they'd discuss findings and try to communicate the main poin

That’s interesting… have you tried MSFS2024? That’s my main driver for now; god it would be amazing if I could run it on Linux. I’ll definitely need to try DCS on Arch! By the way - what module would you recommend (apart from F-18)?

by quibono 5mo ago
The only reason I have a dual-boot Windows setup now is for MSFS2024 and DCS. They will probably be the last to ever get full-Linux support (if ever).

It's been a while since I took a Coursera course but I LOVED it at the beginning. Between Machine Learning, the (numerical) optimisation courses and NAND-To-Tetris (even for the platform alone) it had so many great courses to pick from

Any courses you would particularly recommend? I always found that Udemy's vast catalogue made it hard to actually pick a course.

Just waiting for Gemma 4, DeepSeek 4 now. Then the only thing I'll be able to complain about is the completely different API to interface with (unless they FINALLY move to full OpenAI support).

Nice, I’ll definitely check this out. You might want to look at optimising the PDF, it’s sitting at 40MB right now.

I love this -- I'll have to do something like that for my site. I always liked the big initials on the start of a paragraph. Though it feels a bit more prose-applicable than for non-fiction writing.

I just thought the parent comment was unfair to ICE cars to make the EV proposition sound better. I'm a fan of EVs but they are still more expensive to buy. That said, very cheap ICE cars have a sweet spot where any damage to engine &#
