Clearly the author has never used Emacs, because they have confused Emacs "modes" (which are more like features that get turned on and off) with modal editing (like vim). There are also plenty of markdown preview packages availabl

It's correct as it is. Performance can be good or bad. "...for efficiency" would be correct, but if they were to write only "...for performance" it would missing a qualifier.

Assuming you're talking about the "chorus" where the lyrics are "Battery --- Ba-ter-ry!": "Battery" is certainly not the same type of "whatever" as "Master of Puppets". It's also n

That's the Core reference guide. You might want the book "Programming Ruby"[1], which is linked on the documentation landing page[2]. Alternatively, for a quick overview, I recommend Learn X in Y Minutes[3]. [1]: http:/

Only the "treemap" chart is broken for me, everything else seems to work ok (Firefox Developer Edition 111.0b6 64-bit Linux. Enhanced tracking protection turned on).

Ahh I see what you mean now, sorry. I mistakenly inferred something that wasn't there. I agree that it's all part of a physical system and that the absence of the signal is still meaningful. Getting back to the topic: While phanto

>Do you know if zero is truthy in erlang? I don't know off the top of my head, but I would assume that yes, zero is truthy in Erlang as well, since Elixir is fully compatible with it.

Lua, Elixir, Common Lisp, Scheme, Racket, Clojure. Most statically-typed languages don't let you evaluate 0 as a boolean. IMO, 0 is a value, and values should be truthy. 0 being falsy is only a wart from C.

No, you're wrong. There are many, many species of beetles (thousands) that are called lightning bugs/fireflies. The terms are interchangeable, as they refer to any species in the entire family.

Yes, that's pretty much my point. The commenter above asked for a high-quality condenser specifically. I doubt they want a U 87, so it's probably better to ask a different question (e.g. "what's the best condenser for

What is your use case? There is really no need for a high-quality condenser mic in the vast majority of cases. For work meetings, voice chats, streaming, etc. the difference between an AT2020 and a high-quality mic will be entirely impercep

That is not even close to what nihilism means. I don't think we should be lying to children. We should teach them honestly, even if the truth sometimes hurts. Maybe some of them will eventually be able to make life better for those who
