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 in…
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…
According to wikipedia, it's not certain she converted to christianity. She was raised as an agnostic, so was only jewish "ethnically".
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…
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:…
It's not very surprising to find math in Perec's work, he deliberately put it there.
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
Paul Graham wrote a great essay that's related to this: keep your identity small http://www.paulgraham.com/identity.html
"He was a decent man" sounds like a worthy ambition. I'd be proud of "He wasn't a dick".
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…
I've been using the mingw windows version every day for years. I used to spend time now and then to make new things work, recently I switched to doom emacs, and almost every new functionality or package I try works out…
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…
A good way to get started might be with a curated emacs configuration like doom emacs https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs
The black-scholes model for pricing options had a big impact on the financial industry, and the big breakthrough for solving the equation was to realize it could be turned into the heat equation that already had a…

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…
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…
