Another successful example of literate programming is fastHTML, and probably most of the code written at fast.ai and answer.ai. https://fastht.ml/docs/ Here's Jeremy Howard explaining why he loves doing everything

There's a healthy way to be a critic, which is helping people find and enjoy works they didn't notice. There are also unhealthy ways of being a fan, for example if you admire someone there's probably someone else you despise.

I asked it what are some famous squares around the world, and it gave me a list of squares "with historical significance" that included Tienanmen. When I asked what gave it historical signficance, it mentioned the 1989 pro-democra

I read some of her books and it also sounds weird to me. The only thing that struck me is that she saw the tribe of Israel in the ancient testament as a nasty example of one group crushing another, something she also didn't like in the

Without the shadow dom, your component can still have children. If you need several slots, there's an example duplicating that functionality with javascript in the second comment of this blog post: https://frontendmasters.co

This joke, that the Germans or the Swiss have no sense of humor, I never found it funny. But maybe that's just because I'm Swiss.

I justs finished reading the book and the idea that a simulation universe need not have another universe simulating it indeed baffled me. How do you make sense of that? I was disappointed there wasn't a clearer motivation for it.

Ah, visual anagrams, that was exactly the idea I had for a project that would allow me to learn. I hadn't dared looking if it already existed. I will try to pretend it doesn't and try to find my own way...

We don't seem to have the same taste, but you made me really curious by mentioning comics. What are your recommendations for bandes dessinées that are stronger than Flaubert?

Haven't read all of that, but it strikes me that some of these authors like Freud and Levi-Strauss are perfectly understandable without much background. Haven't tried Kant but other authors consider him very methodic and logical,

I read a few pages of thousand plateaus and I didn't get the impression he really wanted the reader to make sense of it. It's full of quotations of works you would certainly know if you had enough culture. It feels like an violent

I've been using it for years on windows. Magit is much slower but still great. Some people run emacs inside wsl, and I've done that once or twice to try out unix-only modes, but they were never good enough to convince me to use th

Their first point is that saying the values are already there. The most obvious value of science is truth, which can be reached by the scientific method, which allows paradigms to change. Giving so much importance to truth is a matter of fa

I'm surprised to find very positive question about pushing yourself. I'm not at all into sports, and from the title I expected a psychology of competition and wanting to beat the others, which sounds horrific in the workplace. Ins

The swiss university had advised the student to be enrolled only China in order to make it easier for him to complete his PhD at the swiss university afterwards. The swiss university is now evading their moral responsibility by hiding behin

The idea that you can start with the good ones doesn't make sense to me. It's the same with literature. There's no guarantee you'll enjoy the "classics". How many books you had to read at school did you really

Some economists have tried arguing that advertising adds value to products, but I think it only hinders people from making choices based on the product's merit. It's a distortion of the market. We wouldn't lose much if advert

Politics is not a zero-sum game. When parties discuss with each other they have a chance of all furthering their agendas to some extent, and have all parties mostly support the compromise. It's also the case that if a party campaigns s

I didn't expect I would enjoy the lockdown as much as I do. It probably helps that in my country we have a soft lockdown. I did have to overcome a tinge of bad conscience, but that didn't last. I wonder if this is related to the b
