There are quite a few people out there who don't speak English. Okay is a common word in many languages since WWII I guess. In many languages there isn't a aspirated H.

In German, some use the term Stilldemenz, which literally means "dementia from breast feeding". It's probably related.

Please define "light". Just a reminder, the lightest config is no config.

It took ages for Haskell to become "popular". My personal impression is that OCaml was more popular in the past and lost ground in recent years. OCaml's story demonstrates though how difficult it is to turn an academic resear

If you want graphs, you're probably not working at the terminal anyway and you're most likely using gvim that integrates nicely with our desktop environment. You can display the R graphics next to the gvim window.

They basically talk about one single plugin: nvim-r, without linking to its web page.

Oh come on, they're talking about interacting with R. I hope you're aware that R is a simple interpreter and any IDE for R is mostly a window manager that arrangs views on the source code, the REPL, and the graphic display if avai

So the suggestion is to use the nvim-r plugin. This plugin uses a custom R lib you have to compile yourself. This may not be possible in every situation. While this is a nice solution for your personal work station, it sometimes isn't

How would you define a function that accepts/returns FancyDataStructure of any type or only of a type that has X embedded? BTW type erasure isn't necessarily a bad thing when the compiler can prove the code is correct at compile t

Code generation is one possible implementation of generics. But generics isn't just about the code you run but also about making sure the source code is sound at compile-time, i.e. they also have implications for the compiler's ty

I think this is an interesting collection because most proposals acknowledge that statistics cannot be fixed by means of statistics alone but rather by taking into account the human factor. Bayesian statistics won't keep humans, who wa

VIM actually works pretty well on a phone as long as you find a way to input Ctrl and ESC.

Blank copy paper is available everywhere. Get yourself a tacker and maybe a cardboard in the right format. When done, remove the tacks, scan it, and upload your notes to your cloud.

The MS foldable has really nice keys but the gap between the two halves is rather annoying on the long run. The above keyboard has no gap like the original stowaway keyboard.

The point is not to care about brand names but to care about functionality.

What kind of device are you thinking of?

by stewbrew 9y ago
The keyboard linked to above is a full size keyboard. The keys are quite ok. When folded, it's nearly quadratic, probably taller than a Psion 5. There are smaller versions of the keyboard that might use the same keys. While I loved my

I honestly don't understand the hype. Why Moleskin and not one of the in general better Leuchtturm products? Anyway, I personally went back to those blank exercise books I used in school decades ago. But then, I also run Linux and not

Yes, but a byte code interpreter ported to wasm via emscripten != a compiler with a WASM backend.

You and most other people here assume it would be a planned, organized event. Maybe it's rather one weirdo talking to another weirdo.

Open but not free is what Microsoft and others do/did in some projects. That's one of the reasons why Stallman is so eager to draw the line between open and free software. Example: Java's stdlib source code is open for you to

You're probably asking the wrong question. When you oppose "open source" to "free", the term "free" is usually not used in the sense of "free beer" but in the sense of the free software movement,

Since the kotlin runtime is rather small, you still have to deal with platform differences. I like kotlin for several reasons but this one isn't on the top of my list. If you like cross-platform development, you might want to check out

Why would you call a project management thing (or whatever this is) "manuscript"? Whatever it prints, definitely wasn't written by hand.

That's a nice research/prestige project but I question the economic viability in comparison with, e.g., delivery by bicycle. But of course, then you would have to deal with humans and that's probably not one of Amazon's

"One thing I found out is that you really have to write a library in Java if you want it to be used in both Java and Kotlin. Java -> Kotlin is effectively one-way interop." Could you please explain this.

IMHO the crucial question is whether users can use libraries that load native libraries and/or make use of rcpp. The docs make me think it's not possible.

From what I gather, it's a php page. You upload 1??? file or download that file - for that you have to know the URL. So it's rather x<->anyone who knows the URL.
