I have a pet theory that we've been systematically under-estimating inflation for the past many years, and that all these sky-high market caps are really the result of the dollar not being worth as much as we all think. Don't real

Yeah, it's crazy what a well-kept secret Common Lisp is. I keep on running across situations in other languages where Lisp has been sitting on the solution for decades (literally) and yet no-one knows! Despite how much I like it, it&#

I hear good things about evil-mode & viper for emacs. Dunno about Neovim's remote editing protocol though. TRAMP does the trick exceedingly well for me (to include 'remote' editing as root on the local machine, which is
