This is brilliant; I think I'll start doing this. One slight modification: name the build and run scripts something that you will never expect to be in that repo (maybe like run-xyz.sh where xyz are my initials, 10 random characters, e

This is already like what many European cities do; the shops and restaurants all cluster in in a pedestrian only zone (in Germany they call it a fussgänger). I've found these places quite pleasant; you can eat outside without fast loud

I think the fact that Twitter made a name for itself by restricting the degree to which you can actually express your thoughts (by constraining response length) doomed them. It's far easier to be snarky and mean in 140 characters than

I get what you're saying. RTF is nice as an open-standard alternative for storing rich text. But once again we see this described as "exporting." The focus is on the silo. You're in the silo or you're not. Rather, t

It's impossible to think that the features DfB launched with are equal or less than what they are now, so some of the price increase can be attributed to DfB providing more value to the customer.

There are a couple things that all these "death to word processors" articles overlook: 1. Stickiness. Google Docs (and even Microsoft Word) work so well when you use them in conjunction with their respective ecosystem. Many users

I hope that it takes less than 5 years to get a Linux touch screen app that lets me mark up PDFs and take handwritten notes.

I had my fingers crossed for this as well. I don't want to have to choose between an Esc key and performance.

Is it possible to run Linux on a Surface Book? I'd really love to have the large detachable screen to read PDFs, but I'd really prefer to be able to use actual Linux as opposed to WSL Linux. Alternatively, are there any other lapt

Every white Apple keyboard I've owned has yellowed within months. Meanwhile, my black MacBook Air keyboard looks nearly the exact same as it did when I bought it four years ago. Like OP, I also thought that the black keyboard was long

I see that the point of this site is supposed to be that a change in implementation (keeping the language itself held constant) greater affect on performance than rewriting in another language. My problem with this site it makes poor suppor

That's an implementation detail, not something that needs to be spec'ed out.

I've tried this idea out before (on three occasions, with different approaches, but the same name :P). I think this approach has a lot of promise. Compared to normal blog posts, being able to see the diff and the entire snapshot of t

I really love seeing articles like this come out about Rust. It's language design the way it should be: incorporating the cutting edge ideas from academia while still striving to cater to beginners; drawing on the strengths of other la

By analogy to fix: fix f --> f (fix f) That is, to compute the fixed point of some function f, we give f access to the fixed point (i.e. fix f) in order to compute the fixed point. Consider f is strict, and that we try to run this:

What's the status of the relationship between Homebrew and Linuxbrew? I remember a while ago there were discussions about making the two systems more compatible (or even merging them?). I'd love to see Homebrew take off on Linux.

I'm considering getting an iPad Pro just for this purpose. With a 13" screen, you can fit an entire 8.5" x 11" page on the screen at 1:1 scaling. Alternatively, there are some really interesting 13" epaper tablets c

In general, I think people really sell themselves short by using an editor "distribution." It's a "teach a man to fish" situation. The whole point of being able to configure Emacs or Vim is so that each person can m
