Not saying this isn't a real issue, but the degree of bias in this reporting (and indeed in the original article) is not the most comfortable here either. I mean, is it really surprising that a law company with expertise in the energy

They should have called it emacs-banana, just to piss more people off. And then call the next model vim-banana and start the editor-banana wars. In all seriousness though, I'm seeing a worrying trend where google is hijacking well-know

It's a fanciful idea, but just like the real life analogue it models, it completely turns a blind eye to the fact that, ultimately, the pirates are looters and pillagers and will burn the shop down, both yours and possibly theirs. And

Nice website, but the "vs" is a bit misleading here. Unless I'm missing the point? I clicked in the hope that it would tell me something about how CAs can be 'trained' and 'used' to make useful predictions

Neat trick indeed, but I have not yet found a compelling use-case for this that can't be done more sensibly using lambdas. I once inherited a nice library which made heavy use of such compile/exec pairs. The code looked very convo

Same. I have a couple of nice html templates (with locally-defined css and mathjax styling), and I now take all my notes directly in html in nano. Once you've written a couple of documents, the usual tags become muscle memory and are n

Markdown is ubiquitous because it is easy for humans to read and write AND enough humans used it to make it so. The second part is more important than the first. There could be far better systems which not enough humans used to make ubiquit

Fools. Everybody knows a TLA (three-letter acronym) is instantly more marketable than a two-letter one (also abbreviated TLA, but we don't talk about Bruno and all that jazz). You should have called it the Amos-Tversky Network, abbrevi

Partlially agree, but one needs to try really, really hard to intentionally overlook the whole "influence of corporate giants on government" issue before the government regulation argument carries any practical weight. So if anyth

You're misattributing abhorrence as offense. If someone tells you they've commited [insert abhorrent act here], you're not offended by their beliefs, you're abhorred and disgusted by their actions. Them telling the truth

Yes to all, with caveats, since Guake is a GUI terminal, not a multiplexer. Sessions yes, but not in the ssh / surviving-restart sense. But within the same login, yes, because it's a drop-down terminal which stays open in the back

Going off on a tangent, but: > This disappoints the ego-seeking behavior of many engineers. Good engineers often want people to realize how clever they were. This is probably partly true to a small extent, but for the most part I think i

I would prefer a name that strongly implies ownership. Such that by definition it becomes painfully obvious that you don't really own the other stuff when confronted with it. In the UK freehold versus leasehold do evoke these terms, b

Don't use tmux. Use a nice wrapper for tmux instead (e.g. like byobu). Otherwise complaining about tmux and talking about hacky workaround alternatives is a bit like complaining about the internet and advocating for the telegraph as a
