Currently the only two child comments to your comment mention the requirement of 7/8ths in agreement for legislative amendment and say that this is ridiculous. I just finished reading an article saying that most ballot measures do not

Matrices are a fun way to stretch the mind. They are easy to grasp yet very dissimilar to numbers. Sometimes they can be used to represent numbers and we can use our matrix intuition to answer questions about regular numbers. You can define

I'm running a self-compiled emacs 28.0.50 on osx. Part of me wants to try recompiling and/or using a homebrew formula for latest emacs just in case I did something wrong in the compile process. The emacs 27 speed improvements is a

I appreciate you linking your config. I made one or two changes to my own config and it seems to have improved. I don't quite understand why this works without +lsp in the python language configuration. I also don't really underst

Specifically, emacs is lacking up to date examples of how to do basic IDE functionality with emacs 27//28 and 2020 versions of packages. I don't think someone can build their own IDE without being an emacs intermediate and&#x

Does anyone have an example of emacs achieving parity with JetBrains in code completion/code searching? I've put in a small amount of effort into this (hand-rolling a python config, using a DOOM config I found) and I get something

Are there any "controlled burns over time" statistics? I'd venture that "not enough controlled burns" should be the first hypothesis for why these fires are so common. I learned how important controlled burns are in

If your response to "I don't like X" is "everything is at least a little bit X" then you should read "I don't like X" as something like "I don't like anything more X than necessary" or

I haven't tried Doom/Spacemacs yet. The same thing that keeps me from installing vim plugins probably keeps me from installing large "frameworks" for emacs. Doom does seem relatively lightweight and I'll give it a t

I'm not a fan of the syntax. I've never used C++ but it just looks arcane to me. Its hard to imagine enjoying programming with such a syntax heavy language. Anyway, here is my bash version of the problem. Now that WSL is distribut

Here is my only remapping: map Q <nop> Whenever I use vim without my config I wind up hitting Q and entering ex mode and wishing I had my config. I've used vim on and off for at least 6 years and have never installed a plugin. V

I can't imagine Twitter censoring a sensational pro-democrat news article. That's what makes me feel the strangest about this.

In my opinion, I'd say being in a "varsity" sport is more valuable than being in an arbitrary club but being in a "club" sport is similar to being in an arbitrary club. Varsity football in a state like Texas or Flor

Rent controls do sometimes specify how much rent can be raised year over year. Drop it too low one year, be stuck with relatively low prices in the short term.

Yes, I can see how the wording could be confusing. I mean the second interpretation as you suggest.

Assuming you support facebook's move to remove this content, would you not also support the removal of similar content that you also consider objectionable? Do you not hope that this leads to more content removal or is this the only pi

The labeling of "slippery slope" as a "logical fallacy" versus a "consequentialist logical device" is becoming quite the political statement. Check out the history and the talk page of the wikipedia article for

That's not really what the article is about if you read the entire thing. I almost didn't read the article either but it had surprising depth to it.

I appreciate this paper because I feel like every single article about "herd immunity" completely misses the mark and makes some rather poor assumptions. These assumptions are likely made because they make COVID seem like a bigger

I've known about relatively inexpensive off patent insulin for a while now. It's really strange how it almost never comes up in discussions about drug prices. I've had an open question for about as long as I've known abo

Yeah I don’t understand how people are okay with this version of reality. The CDC (and WHO?) lied to us “for our own good” and apparently the resulting loss of trust in these major governmental organizations was worth the lie. My social med

How often do you resize your hash tables in your mental model? Maybe there's a better "resizing schedule" where you don't resize as often and the amortized time taken in the resizing is O(1) :)

This was a crazy idea I had one day. I'm glad to see that other people have taken the liberty of executing my crazy ideas so that I don't have to.

I like JSON a lot, it's my go to for ad-hoc data storage. I've found it extremely convenient because nearly all modern APIs can return json. Further, jq makes working with json extremely ergonomic. For certain tasks (personal use)

Here's another one about paper recycling that I read in a book once. Surprisingly it's not discussed very much at all and its hard for me to judge how accurate it is. "Recycling paper is not worth it. The paper we use is grow

Helm is amazing in that you can add it to your workflow, read practically no documentation and get a significant boost to productivity and user experience. Its a must have for me.
