Indeed, there is a whole lot of room for improvement. In fact, a makeover is in the works. There's not a hard timeline, but it will take a bit of time to weather anything new before it fully replaces the current, somewhat cranky, one.

Oh boy. If anyone here is coming across Chris Domas (the author of this github) for the first time, you're in for a treat! Some of his talks on youtube are absolutely mind-blowing: DEF CON 26 - Christopher Domas - GOD MODE UNLOCKED Har

Even the wikipedia article you site says nothing about "learning to endure pain". Usage of the keisaku/kyousaku like that is not unheard of, but these stories get recounted as problems to avoid, not as models to follow. In my

I find analogies to physical systems help me generate "non-obvious" questions. What are some ways to break up a physical thermocline? 1. Mixing and turbulent flow between layers; 2. Radiators that transverse layers; 3. Redistribut

I can't comment on the social phenomenon here, but there is indeed a decent technical argument for avoiding for loops when possible. In a nutshell, it's kind of like "prinicple of least priviledge" applied to loops. Maps

Interesting. I was under the impression that Iversion intended APL to also read almost like English, provided you knew the names of operators and idioms. Aaron Hsu has some talks showing this off about his co-dfns compiler.

FWIW, on Android at least, there's Google手書き入力 which does a pretty fantastic job in my experience. It's good enough that funky stroke order, missing strokes, and full-on cursive still usually Just Work.

Just to add to this, simplified forms are mostly confined to Joyo kanji. The old forms do, however, exert their existence even in modern kanji as sub-pieces of (mostly rarer) other kanji---e.g. 専 used to be written 專, which still exists as

My experience lies on the artice author's side of this discussion. Read some original Mishima or Dazai and they use kanji for words that modern novelists generally don't. Pick up some late Edo texts and the kaji-to-kana ratio is e

Minimal you say? How about a simple collection of cli tools to interact with Maildirs! If you're a CLI junkie like me, I think you'll like mblaze[0]. It's written by one of the maintainers of Void Linux, Lea Neukirchen, FWIW.

Not addressing your question, but the Yoneda Lemma is kind of a charlatan. On first reading, it seems magical and deep, but once you grok the proof, it feels like a relatively trivial observation. The whole thing is just about arrow composi

Equal doesn't mean idential. You have an apple in one hand. Since 1 = 1/2 + 1/4 + ... + 1/2^n + ... you therefore have an infinite collection of apple pieces in your hand? Whether that's a useful description
