The advantages of UHD for displaying a lot of text sharply or large diagrams without scrolling should be obvious. An advantage of 40" is that when placed 4-6' away from your eyes, you are more likely to adjust your seating positio

Sqldf is very tempting, but at least in the past it was so much, much slower than dplyr that the time to learn dplyr's syntax could pay off in a single project, or possibly even a single large operation.

The article says that Condé Nast would not say whether David Remnick editor of The New Yorker would report to Anna Wintour. While I have no opinion on Anna Wintour, I think that The New Yorker is pretty nearly the best that exists right

In Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance the author puts forward two types of welders. One is the type that excels at really complex and difficult welds, but isn't very good at making simple welds in repetition. The other might g

It's common for purist libertarians to believe that contracts are very important, and their enforcement to be one of the main duties of the state. I don't think that adequately handles situations where the CEO creates an environme

No idea. I occasionally use a ten year old ThinkPad T60 that runs Linux Mint 18 (2016) MATE okay. I'm pretty sure modern ThinkPads are not as durable. The Dell XPS might be a lot better than Dell laptops of the past, though.

Ctrl-z will send Vim to the background (though you probably can't be in insert mode). `fg` in the shell will then bring the Vim session back to the foreground. If `:sh` doesn't give you your command history and the same working di

That looks like a good choice for a monitor. I've been thinking two of the 4K LG monitors Apple offers next to each other in portrait orientation would be nice. However, the lower UHD resolution at 27" rather than 21" probabl

Don't the different namespaces conflict with the idea of burdensome cruft? Just as finding a complete and consistent set of axioms for all mathematics is impossible, a universal syntax without namespaces sounds inefficient.
