Wow! Fantastic!

The R development community is (was?) consciously focused on single operator managing their stuff on their workstation. Considerations like repeatable procedures, reliable package heirarchies, etc. were clearly and more or less politely Not

Ooo... Did it include the I-9 easter egg?

We call that "Precision in language" in my team. Some of our neighboring teams call it "A bunch of pedantic bullshit". We agree to disagree.

I'm not aware of any that don't include a floating option.

You're incorrect: there might be some decoration provided by the app, but there's a layer outside of that which is configured by the window manager. That's the title bar, and the little icons by which you maximize/ min

I don't think many of the folks you refer to with cut their teeth on anything but Windows or Mac windowing environments. I started my serious interactions with graphical computing in a debate about twm vs. vtwm vs. tvtwm vs. ctwm and w

XMonad mafia represent! :) My config is koff more involved. I did a lateral from CTWM into XMonad quite a few years ago, so many of my keystrokes bring associated workspaces to their default locations. I've got 44 workspaces, and 6

Years of XMonad use here. Really, it's not the interference you are imagining. Much of the time I have a web browser using a whole portrait-aligned monitor, but sometimes I feel like having it 2-up in a landscape monitor. The win of

Having done similar things to this in the past, I rebut: no it wouldn't. :) It's not trivial to change a particular version: 2.33 line in a JSON file, when it's possible that string is present in many places with different m

If that logic sounds sketch when the police take $10K from a man going to buy a car, it should also be sketch when you add zeros somewhere else. In general "That's really unusual behavior" shouldn't be enough to forfeit

I'm not in this space, but from the user's perspective I thought that youtube's "Demonitization" doesn't mean the ad doesn't show, just that the channel doesn't get any benefit from the show of the a

Something "made fast" is perfectly reasonable usage for tying it in place.

Momentum, installed base, established interests, changing uses. Foolishly reductionistic model: at the instant that solar becomes defacto cheaper, if everyone immediately changed, you'd need at least [total world power consumption &#x

Care to elaborate on those ways? As an officer in a Hackerspace, I'm likely oblivious to how I'm problematic.

Because it's trendy to dish on Musk? Comparing BYD sales of neighborhood electric vehicles with Tesla's sales is deliberately deceptive, but "BYD SOLD MORE UNITS". BYD can lengthen their lead by also selling electric s

It's trivial to decentralize any given process with which you're involved, if you care to. The fact that the overwhelming majority of users prefer central workflows isn't a bad thing about Git.

Why do you want to replace Calibre, rather than for example making it better?

That's what a wiki is good for: collecting snippets of hard to categorize information. If you've got a culture of recording those notes, then you can develop full text search habits. A kluge of randomish info by people who mak

Anecdote here, but the only place from which you'd get "data" is from FitBit, and that's what you're trying to calibrate. My wife's got a bunch of sleep issues, and she finds her fitbit data correlates really t

I get a real "Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance" vibe out of this. It's a challenge to quantify the 'Quality' of a chart, but trying to measure it by the production steps seems to completely miss the point.

I think the recent wave of vitriol is mostly associated with his decision to destroy Twitter in the process of attempting to make it a safe space for racists. That and his seeming to align himself with our strategic adversaries on the worl

Are you suggesting that tech from before some epoch should just be categorically ignored? If so, I disagree.

If you accept relocation assistance and then don't relocate it, I'd expect the lawsuit to be open and shut.

If the posited database exists, then a citation ought to be straightforward. As an observer with no competence in the field itself, I feel fairly confident of the quality of the essay because it appears to be exhaustively detailed and minim

I think "Just about anything" within a 10 minute drive is probably not a carefully considered standard. Can you name a specific place in which you think this standard obtains? I think the only way to think objectively about this

No, skepticism should be your default stance w.r.t. extraordinary claims. That many people are heedless, shallow of thought, and frightened of ignorance in similar patterns should not be taken as evidence that _some_ of their flights of fan

I read this as kind of goalpost-movey. If we can, with self driving cars, clip some of those outliers, we will have outsize impact on the total safety picture. Average skill is what we deal with all the time (On average. ;) so better tha
