As the side note, the following sentence from the post "I began my investigation with a strong presumption of chicanery" is something I am going to steal and use from now on. :)

I was in search of a good cross-platform notes app. Like Evernote, but preferably free with the open data format. I concluded that for me, personally, emacs org-mode with notes files stored in the Dropbox folder turns out to be an optimal s

I am an ACM member and I see many other members like me disappointed by the stance ACM took. What is the best way to get our grievances known? Thousands comments across various forums are lost in information noise. If there is a petition or

I do not use DuckDuckGo since they announced that they partnered with Yandex.ru. I do not want my searches going to Russia, even anonymized. https://www.reddit.com/r/duckduckgo/comments/a7nl1v/duckduck...

I applaud Dell for supporting Linux on their hardware. Their main contribution should be open-source drivers for their hardware included in major Linux distributions. That said, I would not use their pre-installed Linux because of security

They gonna find a new job and transfer their H1B there. It is difficult to get the first H1B as you must fit the limited annual cap. But once you got it, you can relatively easily transfer to new employer. Speaking from experience...

But they are easily transferable. I've hanged work on H1B at least 4 times.

The assumption that they are hiring H1B employees to save money does not hold the water. It is a condition of H1B visa approval for the company to offer a competitive wage. The company must advertise a similar position and offer an H1B empl

"Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity." I think is most likely inconsistent reviewing. I've seen this with Apple, as well as with Google. The apps stores need to have very clear guidelines

As I said, "when possible". When not possible a smart compiler can give a warning or an error and ask the user to either use arbirary-precision integer or a type with bound checking.

It should be an RSS feed.

it does not have to. A smart compiler can narrow it down to machine size integers then possible.

Many feeds I am subscribed are low-volume and having lots of them does not overwhelm me with information. This is the beauty of RSS.

I personally like parentheses. But a surprising amount of my engineering friends bring it up as a major issue as soon as we start talking about List or Scheme.

I hope they will do a decent Linux port. For example, maximum font zoom was limited by 150%. It does not allow to zoom more than that. On 13" screen with 3840x2160 pixels it is not enough. Fonts are too small to read comfortably.
