The little schemer is great, especially in understanding recursion and tail call optimization (pass an accumulator to track the result as a parameter). However I was never able to understand the chapter that builds the y combinator (and I a

Two questions pop into my mind: A. How easy will it be for the unlucky people that have installed Centos 8 to convert it to rocky Linux? B. Will rocky Linux fulfill its promises? I mean if I install rocky Linux 8.4 will I still have a suppo

Because venv/pip/requirements is good enough for most cases. Most developers are introduced early to these tools and learn them good enough to work fine for them. If there's no real problem with the existing tools, then peopl

I'm using Marcus for like 10 years at work. It's perfect for me, I can sit all day on it. I actually want to go to work and avoid working from home just to sit on my chair! I know that there are better chairs that Marcus but nothi

My holy grail would be to (somehow) create a release on Windows (my dev system) and deploy on Linux (our prod servers). However, I have little hope because of the Erlang binaries requirement. Still, you can always hope :)

Yes you actually are right! ctrl+tab returns to previous buffer in notepad++! Thank you this is really useful for me!

The main missing feature of Notepad++ for me (which unfortunately seems to still not be available) is the "Fuzzy File Finder" i.e press a shortcut (usually ctrl+p), display a checkbox in which you can write a part of the full file

I think that the metaprogramming situation is a little problematic in Elixir. Elixir makes heavy use of macros in basic libraries like the Phoenix or Ecto frameworks that are used by more or less everybody. I understand that macros are usef

I don't see any mathematics nor psychics books. During the first two years of our 5 year ECE degree we mainly did theoretical courses. Some examples: single variable analysis, multi variable analysis, differential equations, arithmetic

K-9 is a really great mail app for android! In my opinion it's the best app if you want to use a custom SMTP/IMAP server instead of using a solution like hotmail/google/etc. It also has PGP support (with the help of Open

PGP, despite its flaws (flaws that are about ease of use, not really about security), seems to still be the only solution for proper end to end encrypted communication where nobody (corporations, govmts and even three letter organisations

Wow that's really strange because here in Greece we have probably the hottest January of the last years with temperatures around 20c!

I haven't thought about that but I agree. The randomness of boons and hammers forces your to play again and again to get more rewards and combinations! Thank God you pay only once for this game and it doesn't have in game currency

Well I have to confess that I've bought all tracks of the soundtrack in-game using diamonds :) It's really a great OST. I have heard about binding of Isaac however I haven't tried it. It feels a little low quality because of

Thank you very much; I was using pg_dump to take backups until now!

Thanks! I'll consider the vmware snapshot and the WAL archiving (I wasn't familiar with that till now) :)
