I thought tools like jupyter and rmarkdown are better described as narratives[0] (lab notebooks and report generators) separate from and almost antagonistic to literate programming[1]. At least as I've been exposed to them, notebooks d

Literate programming tools that weave/tangle code and documentation don't play well with significant whitespace. Not a problem for me, but I think it's on a valid line of complaints.

Not standard, but hopefully worth mentioning: the thing that's clicked best for me is the docs on https://ciel-lang.org/ ("batteries included" Common Lisp image). The examples for how to use it's curated

This doesn't exactly get at it, but https://ciel-lang.org/ is at least attacking part of too-many-steps problem while focusing more on the too-many-choices and long in the tooth defaults (as I understand it).

I was just mulling this over today. DRY = easier-to-decode is probably true if you're working on groking the system at large. If you just want to peak in at something specific quickly, DRY code can be painful. I wanted to see what comp

Yeah! On the actual notetaking side: I think I stumbled into a less deliberate "interstitial journaling" paradigm (a la roam research?). I setup the journal plugin to create a file per week from there keep a list of links to proje

emacs as a terminal has surprisingly good latency [0] but I'm pretty careless with my pipes and frequently overwhelm the buffer with verbose output. Waiting seconds for a ctrl-c to take so I can fix my mistake is painful. Any magical i

I can imagine media products "lie" (by omission, by implicit bias, or even blatantly) but will need some references to reorient to the idea the scale is the same. My prior is still heavily tilted by the lead up to the Iraq war --

Open science depends on open tools! Octave is such a good resource for otherwise walled off code (that doesn't use newer matlab features). But I'm curious where octave is popular. Does anyone pick it over julia or python when star
