Curious about this. How do you do that? Shouldn’t you still have to read the statement forward to then be able to read it backward? I can see in lispy languages how you could do that, because of the s…

History is about what happened, not what could have happened. You can then speculate on how things could have been given some specific changes, but the fact is that we don’t know how the alternate uni…

That’s a really worrying point, yes. Mac users can say goodbye to the majority of our steam library.

OpenGL and OpenCL aren’t “robust” on macOS because Apple stopped updating their drivers after the version 4.2, which has been released circa 2011. Current version of the standard is 4.6, released July…

Hahaha, the Slack support in emacs is really fun to see! I will give it a try, thank you for sharing :)

You say that you’re serious, but your comment sounds like a joke, so I’m a bit confused :) So, in case you were serious: there are good reasons to use more visual and collaborative tools in a team, on…

Org-mode is really fantastic when I work on a project alone, but I always failed to use it when collaborating with others without finding myself with a huge amount of duplication with JIRA, Trello, or…

I don't think that anyone is surprised here. The quote is: > I think Google were surprised that they came up against opposition,” says Stefan Klein, a local activist with the GloReiche neighbo…

The article makes it sound really bigger than it is. From what I experienced the opposition is quite small, signs anti-google are only visible in a few specific locations in one neighborhood, and in g…
