I recently stumbled across this interesting attempt:

https://emacs-ng.github.io/emacs-ng/js/getting-started/

India has oligarchs too apparently.

Anyone know what which switch for a DIY project would be closest in key travel distance, keycap profile height, and activation force of the keys on the Surface Type Cover?

It would be nice to know what this offers that emacs doesn't already ... other than it being built on a more modern GUI framework (Electron).

How does that increase DEI at MIT?

Or decolonize our math departments?

What a great idea!

Start by rationing red meat ... since it obviously isn't expensive enough yet :)

What you're missing is that the after-school tutoring will also need to be stopped. Either declare it illegal or raise taxes high enough that families will not have any disposable income left to hire tutors.

State-sponsored tutors could then be required to apply for licenses that require them to reserve their hours for the neediest students.

Bingo!

At many national labs, there's a reason why the acronym RIP stands for "retired in place," rather than "rest in peace."

I don't apply for jobs anymore at companies where you have to prepare for interviews after reading this book:

Can it be used to replace the windows file open dialog window?

Quick! Go apply for some funding from ycombinator so that you'll be able to dance like a unicorn one day too.

I've spent a fair amount of time researching all of the existing online options and the Collins English Thesaurus is by far one of the best:

https://www.collinsdictionary.com/us/dictionary/english-thes...

They also still offer a generous free-tier for their API, unlike Oxford, which discontinued its free-tier after introducing version 2 of their API.

When I find some more free time, I plan to modify the org-mode emacs package for the Merriam-Webster's thesaurus to use the Collins API:

Carefulwords.com looks nice and improves on existing website-based thesauri in terms of usability, but for many writers, having the thesaurus built into their writing tool (e.g., emacs) is a far more efficient option.

Maybe Russia will be able to pick up some of this technology on the cheap through any deal:

"To date, we have seen Chinese companies and of course, in China, there's really no distinction between private companies and the state."

Of course, because in the United States there is.

“Not one major Wall Street executive went to jail for destroying our economy in 2008 as a result of their greed, recklessness and illegal behavior. No. They didn’t go to jail. They got a trillion-dollar bailout.”

Can anyone remember who told us that?

What advantage does this have over emacs?

TL;DR:

Let the government grant itself a monopoly over this technology to use for its own propaganda campaigns.

Same song, different tune, regarding encryption 20 years ago.

For many folks, Adobe is one of the few companies that's even more distrusted than Microsoft in the software world.

Boo hoo.

Eat more meat and less ice cream.

Is anything in life fair?

It already is:

If another asteroid hits the earth on the scale of the Chicxulub Event, wonder how that would affect the model.

Excellent article on the "neuroses" of animal rights activists and how it affects our grocery bill at the checkout line ... HN needs a lot more of these.

Nature videos of animals eating other animals in the wild would also be welcome.

It's interesting how a lot of these same folks think that when it comes to human life, a seventy-year sentence in prison is more "humane" than the death penalty.

For important background, search the internet for "matrix calculus."

A statement of purpose with just two words:

"I suck."

... because if you have to ask, this should serve you well.

Good, can we start eating red meat again?

By the number of comments here, I imagine not.

... why I prefer Lisp.

There's still plenty of time to have those laws repealed.
