There are a couple of note books (CamiApp, Shotnote) that have appeared in Japan that are quite similar. I found the design pretty good, though I stopped using them.. I think mainly because I switched form Evernote to org-mode.

The patch that was shared on the lkml shows some insight on what is causing the issue. https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/7/1/27 Apparently the issues might be due "to the leapsecond being added without calling clock_was_set() to notify the hrtim

Otherwise what you are saying is to be afraid of the status quo because they have many ways of monitoring your past so you should behave, isn't it? If your 'future employer' gets biased by this kind of stuff then it would make sense to reco

This looks great! I tried it with the default settings and could share a sessions very easily. On the other hand I'm trying to use `wemux rogue` but I get the following: wemux rogue unknown command: rogue To see a list of wemux comm

I agree that open sourcing it is one way, but is it the best way? Since the users depend on it, that would mean that they would pay for it right? I think that the obvious need here is to find a way so that it would make it possible for some

I'm not a researcher myself, but I have seen the efforts done in this field by the org-babel project very interesting. It is a literate programming mode for Emacs that attempts to make conducting this style of research more straightforward.

I was a big fan of library.nu. As a student in Mexico, you just cannot get some of the books that were available in there, so it was incredibly useful. I no longer used the site so much, but I'm still grateful that this site was live when I

Interesting, sending daily/weekly reports is default behavior at Japanese companies (where doing busywork is actually a good thing sometimes, since it seems that there are many zombie companies that get funding just for the sake of having p

This idea has also stuck in my head since sometime ago (I think it was a comment by @jrockway who said that he got up really early because at that time there is nothing else to do but work), though I do not do it everyday, only occasionally

Thanks for providing the example, this thread was very entertaining and made me become more interested in learning more about how C works.

I have also been somewhat worried about the "safety first" approach that a lot of the Japanese young take around here. I have been in Tokyo just for some months, but I truly believe that things could be infinitely better if I only these gu

What I like the most about Org syntax is that it gives you a framework to plan your tasks by using nothing but text. For example: - [%] Task 1 + [X] Task a + [ ] Task b //C-c on this task will check this an calculate the % + [ ] Task c Plu

To apologize is the first single thing I was taught during my 'Hourensou'/報連相 training at the Japanese company I'm working on. Whenever something bad happens, you first have to put yourself in their shoes, and just apologize."Moushi wake

If the marketing campaign was that effective in Czech Republic, that might explain the recent increase in marketing from Google here in Tokyo since 2011 started. I can't remember how many times I saw the same Google Chrome commercials over

I would recommend Alex Kerr's 'Dogs and Demons' book about Japan. It is kind of old (2001) but it is still a great read about what have been some of the specific problems from Japan these past decades.

Funny I thought you meant Emacs is a _text-mode_ web browser, thus a web browser being a _read-mode_ Emacs.

The best books I've read regarding learning japaenese are 'Making Sense of Japanese Grammar'. I recommend it a lot. http://www.amazon.com/Making-Sense-Japanese-Grammar-Paper/dp... If it weren't for that book I would have never understood

I think it is a very nice idea. Although looking at the percentages %%%%% immediately after the search makes it look a little bit more confusing. One suggestion could be to use different colors to express the same idea. I think you already
