A good bit less powerful yes. But the simplicity is a huge strength when it comes to long term tech. I started using it in 2012 I believe. The most important thing in any note taking app is to use it consistently and use it for years. And b

Would someone be able to say if this is somehow related to encoding data as polar coordinates, because at my knowledge level it looks like it could be related? For some context, to learn more about quantum computing, I was trying to build a

I would imagine the size meant it wouldn't get far by road. Bridges and houses would have made the route too narrow. It looks like they only just squeezed under a bridge on the Danube in the bottoms pictures

Mental breakdown? No, he is greedy, this is greed. He is greedy for power and money. As Terry Pratchett alludes to many of his books, the problems start when you treat other people as "things". And this is rife at the moment. So m

Kind of yes. This was what it was attempting to do. Now I must say, in practice. In over 12 years of working in two large multinationals as a "tech interviewer" (That is, once someone went through the management interview and HR i

Take a breath and take this from first principles... People tend to be tribal. People, when interviewing and select, will tend to hire people that look like them. A white guy from a white school from a white neighbourhood is far more likely

Xfce all day every (work) day. I've been using it for years and years. I started when it was the only lag free WM I could run on an atom powered netbook (the only "pc" I had at the time)! Now many years later im still using i
