In general I agree with the sentiment expressed in TFA and generally try to follow it when building new ontologies because asserted subClassOf hierarchies create a huge impedance mismatch between how the computer interprets them and what th

Python pretends to be a nice homogeneous "everything is at run time" language, but it is all a big lie and there aren't big flashing letters saying "you really probably shouldn't do this" when you start solving

This is a great review of what is going on "behind the scenes." As the maintainer of about 5 little services with this structure I have vowed never to write another one. The memory overhead alone is a source of eternal irritation

So many posts in this thread are spot on. I've heard descriptions of some tech positions being equivalent to 'internet plumbers,' well, having spent a two week rotation shadowing plumbers in my youth, I have come to think of

In my graduate program (Neurosciences) the students with a computational background usually realize after about two years that all of our colleagues desperately need a basic orientation for how to actually use a computer to do real work. Th

If it is for blocks of text then you could use #+BEGIN_VERSE in combination with #+ATTR_HTML, or possibly create a custom #+BEGIN_FRENCH block type, but I suspect that you are thinking about inline markup, in which case you have two options

The issues outlined here are one of the reasons that I am moving as many of my workflows to org-mode as possible. Everything is text. Any fancy bits that you need can also be text, and then you tangle and publish to whatever fancy viewing t

Amusingly, or sadly, depending on your perspective, in practical settings the default behavior of that question depends on exactly what you want human to mean in the vocabulary of the local use case, because continuants are a very leaky abs

One phrase that seems to be missing from the article is is larger category of problem -- a collective action problem. The public good framing has to do with a citizen/state relationship. The collective action framing reflects a state&#

Having followed this fairly closely, I will drop a though here while it is in my head. Surely there would be no obstacle to supporting s-expression syntax and allowing additional syntax around it. Everyone seems to see this as either-or, bu

I wrote a docs api v1 -> org converter in python. I just pulled it into its own repo and it still has a bunch of dependencies related to how I handle auth for other projects, but if you want to take a look it is at [0]. There is an examp

I have been writing my thesis as an org-mode file in git that is automatically published [0] as a pdf every time I commit using a bash script tangled as a commit hook. Figures are (or can be) computed from live data, and org-ref can automat

Most of my day to day work is in python, but I have a number of projects in Racket and have been dabbling with common lisp. I think the author is simply incorrect here. Other algol like languages offer the illusion of understanding, but the

Not quite. xattrs are not indexed, so if you want efficient retrieval by xattr tags you have to build/maintain your own inverted index. xattrs are good if you have a file that you want to store metadata about, but not so good if you wa

I've been using SXML [0] for all my sgml needs in Racket and the quality of life improvement from having a sane and regular syntax for everything is hard to overstate. seml looks like it might have the same kind of quality of life impr

In the context of http, we have HEAD, but we don't have something DATAHEAD, or METADATA, which would ask the server to provide you what _it_ thinks is the relevant metadata for the endpoint in question. You can fake this by streaming d

I've done some silly things [0] with python's pathlib recently that seem related to the issues discussed here. Given that smalltalk message passing finally clicked for me durnig the process, I am attracted to an object-like soluti

For Racket specific macro tooling syntax-parse [0] in combination with syntax classes is usually the suggested starting point. Hygenic with pattern matching and a bunch of other features for parsing s-expression grammars. As mentioned down-

I have to say sometimes I do find it much easier to read logs than to muck about in an interactive interpreter. That said I did just add `export PYTHONBREAKPOINT=pudb.set_trace` to my bashrc and am slowly going through and removing all my o

For many use cases I would imagine that an index that was a bit delayed might actually be preferred. I'm not entirely sure what you meant to imply by 'research purposes' but many of the use cases I imagine are scholarly use c

When I saw the title I suspect that this would be David Spivak, and happily it is, I am also please to learn that he now has a new co-conspirator in the form of Brendan Fong. I first encountered Spivak's work via Category Theory for Sc

This is a fantastic perspective on managing ignorance. It is told from a personal perspective, but there are fascinating applications of this at an organizational scale. My initial thought was that the primary challenge here (which the auth

I 'switched' to evil mode about 2ish years ago and ported my entire .vimrc and all its quirks with no problem. There are some rough edges with some other modes not supporting evil by default where hjkl muscle memory can trigger fu
