It hasnt‘t to be banned officially to be banned effectively. - Here in Germany buying and owning crypto currencies is not illegal. But try to transfer only 20k Euros from your bank account to Kraken.com to buy some crypto assets. Then you m

Anyone attempted to write a COBOL code generator in a more comfortable language? Or isn‘t code generation the problem, rather the reading/modifying legacy code?

Because Lisp has positively influenced many programming paradigms du-jour, it is profound, intellectually satisfying to program in, and to some people's eyes it is a beautiful language, easy to prototype in, easy to write DSLs with. A

It‘s not about eating animals being un/natural. That’s not the (main) argument. It‘s about cruelty towards animals and about sustainability. Besides: Even if you claim us humans were carnivores for thousands of years, what does that pr

This here is excellent: print(f"{d['key'][1]=}") d['key'][1]='one' My immediate reaction was: How can I make this `form` easier to type. And that's what `Iceacream` does. Reviewe

When I started programming in Pascal in the early 90s, my procedures/functions and my data were decoupled, spread all over the place. Then I started learning (Turbo)Pascal with OOP. It was godsend. All of a sudden I could structure my

I love Emacs and Orgmode, especially in combination with Sqlite. And I am convinced that VS Code - despite doing so many things right - does not have the versatility and the capability of Emacs, no matter how many packages are written for i

I‘ve been using MS Access some twenty years ago to do all sorts of magic for small businesses. That was from the 90s to the early 2000s. - Later I‘d use Python to do magic for companies who didn‘t know anything better than MS Excel to handl

Do they work 7 days a week? That would mean 11.4 hours a day, 8am-7pm. Or do they work 6 days a week? That would mean 13.3h a day, 8am-9pm. This is insane. Edit: This means no workout-time, no family-life, no social life at all, no learning

This is excellent. Been using Emacs/org for all my writing projects for a year now, and this site gives a wonderful overview of many things I have learned the hard way. - Thank you for sharing this.

Is there a way to manipulate Excel cells from within Python/Pandas? Last time I checked I had a hard time to write to an existing Excel file (= prevent overwriting it). Would love to do the complex calculations in Python instead of usi

For me this sounds like way too many issues, too little time to tackle. I‘ll wait a year or two until I get an M1 based MBP. Didn‘t even install the latest macOS because I see friends having too many issues with their setup.

Facebook is evil. It harms societies for various reasons, for instance by enabling spread of misinformation, and it hurts individuals alike. Every measure that weakens platforms like FB is to be welcomed. Apple is big enough to confront FB

I love Emacs and plain text. But claiming that text is everything is ignoring the power of images. The brain can immediately grasp the meaning of an image, visuals are immediately understood, some of the most remarkable things human beings
