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…

Thierry also already offered to add another option to fully revert to the old behavior: https://yhetil.org/emacs/874jgq0zdh.fsf@posteo.net/ Please also take note that this (complet…

>If this has happened as described in the OP It's not. The article is bad and wrong. It preemptively tries to dodge such accusations, but most of the hyperbole and "emotions" are j…

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.

You may be interested in an interactive jq tool like jiq or others: https://github.com/fiatjaf/awesome-jq (do a ctrl-f for "interactive" on this page).

For real. Please delete!

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 recomme…

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).

>forget cells or atoms, none of your neurons or synapses understand chinese. And yet some people seem to understand Chinese just fine. How can you explain that gap? It's only a stu…

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 m…

>Phantom limb pain is still part of a physical system and does not 'arise from the mind' Careful, because you seem to have implied that the mind is not a physical system (i.e. you'…

Maybe the name for an internal service/environment. It's also referenced in this viral tweet from November: https://twitter.com/EricFrohnhoefer/status/15919691002257367...

>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 …

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 fa…

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 e…

Digital Ocean has something similar: https://www.digitalocean.com/products/app-platform

Not sure what you mean by "smart cars" (Telsa, etc.?), but my 2021 Hyundai Palisade already has this feature. It can detect if someone is in a back seat and displays "check rear se…

I don't think so, my Firefox was requesting with HTTP/2.

Nope, it didn't load in incognito mode for me either.

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…

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 betwee…

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 wi…

The New American Movement (a precursor to the Democratic Socialists of America) published a poster in the 70s that read: "If you’re unemployed it’s not because there isn’t any work…
