That’s because the true AGI requires nuclear fusion power, which is still 30 years away.

I’m pretty sure vidir also handles creating and moving files between subdirectories. I don’t think it handles permissions and synlink targets though. But for sure, these days I prefer dired. I didn’t know about the permission thing, will ha

Not so sure. I like and use wdired, but `vidir` from `moreutils` is almost as useful and works with any editor. I used it for a decade before trying Emacs and didn’t feel like I was missing out.

I think it’s more that languages fail to go mainstream unless they have a killer domain. Lots of languages don’t.

Scientific journals do edit the TeX file. Both to update the visual style (e.g. enabling commercial fonts that they use for print but are not allowed to distribute with the template), and to update the content itself (to revise the gramma

In many math and physics journals, as well as on arXiv, you usually submit the TeX file itself so they can adjust it and recompile.

Let’s make a language called “A” in that case. (I mean C was fine, so why not one letter?)

It depends what you use it for. I’m a researcher and use it to follow scientific literature (relevant arXiv sections and scientific journals, as well as funding agency announcements), and keeping an eye on what’s up is then arguably part of

Alphabetical order sounds interesting when you mix non-anglicized international names. Do you go by Unicode sort order? I’m in physics, we have this thing where the first author did the most and the last author supervised the most, and the

Sounds like they’re on track for a FILD medal with that paper.

I have one big reason to use Zotero’s built-in one: They have a pretty good iPad app that syncs PDF highlights and comments with it.

I would define that psychological process as “maturing”, as opposed to the more biological process usually referred to as “aging”. Although the two are usually highly correlated.

I definitely still use search engines too. Googling topics with site:Reddit.com still a better way to get genuine opinions on e.g. product comparisons and recommendations.

TeX is still slow to compile documents on my current device (MacBook M1), especially when compared to e.g. Typst. I can only imagine how slow it would have been on a 40yo computer.

> Related to that, the Unix philosophy of simple tools that do one job and do it well, also applies here a bit. More typical workflow would be a utility to tarball something, then another utility to gzip it, then finally another to encry

If you use `atool`, there is no need to use different tools either – it wraps all the different compression tools behind a single interface (`apack`, `aunpack`, `als`) and chooses the right one based on file extensions.

I’ve been to the US several times and am not afraid to travel there for tourism or work trips. But the homicide rate being ~10x higher there compared to my home country is definitely one factor stopping me from considering moving there with

For example, compared to nearly all of Europe and Asia? See e.g. the table in: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intention... There are some exceptions like Russia and Iraq, of course.

Arch has many other benefits, like Pacman arguably being nicer to use than e.g. APT, and AUR having a wider range of easily installable packages than even Ubuntu PPAs, and less patching of upstream packages. Manjaro just makes it more appro

Um, I don’t get the criticism, can you elaborate? I’ve used both Arch and Manjaro before (many years ago), but don’t recognize this.

Spectroscopy is a very straight-forward and mature technique. Saying that “we see these spectral lines in this picture so there must be oxygen” is not considered any more controversial than “we see a bright dot in this picture so there must

That’s ridiculous. So if your SO doesn’t qualify for their own work visa, they can immigrate but not work? Or they can’t join you at all?
