Yes! Org-table is a spreadsheet. org-babel will run SQLite and gnuplot.

This filtered out those who 1) don’t use eMacs 2) don’t use org-mode I suspect org-mode users are willing to go through an extra step if needed. My notes are in .org if I want to share with someone else I export to .md and use the output

People may not trust systemd because years ago there were some really bad defaults like https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/2402 that for instance mounted your firmware in read write mode by default. Th

Thanks for your wonderful books. You have been an inspiration.

For Vim use, I map caps lock to esc. This is built into osX under settings -> keyboard -> Modifier Keys...

I am wondering why I would want this on a CPU when this kind of processing is already available on a GPU.

It lost me at no C++ at all.

I agree, the subtle difference between the physics and math mindset is interesting. I wound up on the sidelines as a computer scientist who worked in a physics lab.

I do have a bit of physics in my background. I read about Grassmann recently in a game programming book. Foundations of game engine development Volume 1 By Eric Lengyel ends with a nice explanation of Grassmann algebra. The road to reality

This is a pretty neat trick, they implemented exterior algebra see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exterior_algebra You see this kind of math in textbooks focused on computer graphics.

It does look a bit like Dylan. I wonder if it has more than a passing resemblance. Also I wonder if they are doing SBCL real time compelling.

That project just made my day!

Non transitive dice are really fun. If you want a jumping off point, I wrote some simulations with this set of dice in python. The source [0] is on github. https://github.com/deltasquared/grime/blob/master/grime.py

Surprisingly, you don't have to wait for Roslyn. The technique exists now [0]. It is kind of a pain to use and seems kind of dangerous to use as a web app. But it is there. I messed with this a few years ago. [0] http://stackoverflow.com/q

It is neat that C# has some standard macros defined. It would be nicer if it was more explicit what is going on behind the scenes. I would love to see the equivalent of c-macro-expand. [0] Also, although it is possible to extend C# using st

And this is why I am always suspicious of an IDE. This sounds like a really nice way to talk to a Linode to develop on.

I wonder if by geeks, the OP means "people who want to get the correct answer consistently."

Well if you want to start with the previous product, the inPulse, they have an SDK here: http://getinpulse.com/pulsesdk/ They have a simulator and some nice code samples. It is a fun C api and simulator. I am not sure when they will relea

Well if anyone wants an emacs mode for this: (require 'generic-x) ;; we need this (define-generic-mode 'critic-mode nil nil '(("{--. --}" . 'font-lock-warning-face) ("{~~. ~~}" . 'font-lock-constant-face) ("{{. }}" . 'font-l

Nice idea. It seems pretty easy to understand. Where is the emacs mode?

It is true that 2 multiplied by it's self 57,885,161 times is not prime. However, if you subtract 1 from that the result is prime.

I do not think apt-get means what you think it means. Chocolatey seems to implement a subset of the functions that apt-get is useful for. On Windows if I want to look for system updates, I use Windows update. On Debian I use apt-get. On Win

I agree, work over ssh or go home. I am pretty sure I will be using Vim when Sublime goes the way of Textmate and SlickEdit.

Yup. I remember that particular realization. Now switch statements in OO languages just look broken to me. Thanks Python!

Something sounds off here. At face value the article is saying. If most people are "ambiverts" and ambiverts make the best sales people, and sales people are the best leaders, why are there not more leaders? Why is it that most people are n

What is magical about C code, or asm, or microcode that makes it more secure? Everyone has to trust someone. See the Ken Thompson hack: http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?TheKenThompsonHack

What do you have against ROOT ?

I don't understand, not the critics, not the project. Why insult something that someone obviously put a lot of care into? The code is nicely formatted and clear. I can see how it works. Props to harthur for making something easy to read and

Yeah, I have switched out SIM cards on my travels. When I Had a locked phone, I would keep it on Airplane mode for the duration of my trip.
