I programmed in Emacs in a myriad of different languages, I used it to write my thesis, to write my homework and later to grade them. I’ve used it to publish countless blog articles, wiki pages and technical documents.…
I mean, wasn’t that the case for most of them? Im not a developer anymore, but to me programming was always a means to an end. Sure you can have preferences (static vs dynamic typing, functional vs OOP, etc.), but in…

Bold of you to talk about arrogance… Besides, I've never met a physicist or a (real) engineer who would go to such lengths to oversimplify the math part, even if it was only “tangential” to them.
Call me back when you can run these models on 16GB of RAM and any recent i5/i7. Until then, there’s no point on using these toy models.
> I don’t think a good learning resource gets worse[...] Probably not, but they become irrelevant. The other day I found an old programming book at my parents’ and while it was still a terrific resource, I couldn’t…
What’s the appeal of an editor like Emacs in 2026? Why’d anyone still use when most jobs nowadays require you to work inside a container (and therefore use VSCode container extension)?
What I don’t understand is why people dismiss this kind of progress with false claims. Especially when discussing programming, people start to act irrational using arguments from back in 2022. I think that you can…
It’s basically up to the domain experts. What I found interesting in mathematical optimization/combinatorics (my fields of interest) when an AI proved some major results some time ago was probably dismissed as a boring…
I used to follow your blog about 15 years ago, what a blast of nostalgia! I’ll add it to my RSS feed. Keep it up.
I know this book is not intended to be used as a first reading on Linear Algebra but, to me, this text isn’t good even for a second(or a third) read. The author hurries up too much on certain parts. I think that Serge…
The day Debian will make this immutable stuff mandatory will be the day I will ditch Linux from my computer.
