I'd be a loyal user of Racket, if it was reasonably easy to use with an IDE similar to VS Code. Emacs is too involved for a casual hobbyist like me, while Dr Racket feels a bit toyish.

What I want is an app that screams at me like a drill sergeant: "Let's go, you got 10 more to go! Keep up!"

TIL about Georgists, thanks. Regarding whether it's "pretty limited", yes and no, imo: Yes, compared to, say, the size of a continent, the amount of new land is tiny. However, new land is usually made in highly sought-after (

The phrase 'a new kind of science' is a huge red flag, but apart from this I don't think I can evaluate what I'm reading. Does the article make any sense? Does it at least hint at a useful direction? Or is this a case of

For real estate, a quick and dirty solution that comes to mind is asking price per square foot, assuming that the market itself has taken into account all the common relevant factors. Unless price is something you intend to test against, of
