Could you link to somebody who is teaching npm users to "fire and forget?" Someone who is promising a substitute for competence in basic programming theory? Clearly you and I do not consume the same content.

Nice, thanks!

Are there any in-browser WASM implementations of *TeX?

Is using the bathroom or stretching your legs advisable?

I don't think any grep would do better on half a billion+ repositories.

For a very long time, even PDP7, on which C was created, with ISZ – Increment the memory operand and Skip next instruction if result is Zero.

I think the country that imprisons the highest proportion of its own population in the world ought to qualify, but this list doesn't think so. Interesting.

Which ones are truly authoritarian?

The world's most popular podcast is the Joe Rogan Experience. Which part of Spotify is using an RSS feed for that?

Allow me to further blow your mind:

Incorrect.

Not a problem on my machine in Washington State.

Powerful ideas in this film regarding robotics, personal assistant technology, technology addiction, and even bioethics.

What are your thoughts on the move from ICC to the LLVM-based ICX? Does that fit in with this product strategy somehow?

TFA goes into this a little

> The samples in Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Great Britain, Hungary, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Poland, the Republic of Korea, Spain, Sweden, and the United States can be taken as representative of these countries' general adult population under the age of 75.

> Due to the fact that the vast majority of the data was collected via Ipsos' online panels (India being the only exception, in which 1,800 were interviewed face-to-face and 400 were interviewed online), participation tends to consist of those who have access to the necessary technology. The samples in Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Indonesia, Ireland, Malaysia, Mexico, Morocco, Nigeria, Peru, Singapore, South Africa, Thailand, Turkey and Uganda are more urban, more educated and/or more affluent than the general population. While not nationally representative, the survey results for these countries provide a useful and unique indication of the direction of public opinion.

> Weighting has been employed to balance demographics and ensure that the sample's composition reflects that of the adult population according to the most recent census data.

> The precision of Ipsos online polls are calculated using a credibility interval with a poll of 1,000 accurate to +/- 3•5 percentage points and of 500 accurate to +/- 5.0 percentage points. For more information on the Ipsos use of credibility intervals, please visit the Ipsos website.

Ipsos is fairly reputable in the field, FWIW.

What do you think is a good sample size? How would you arrive at one?

It's certainly possible that I got lucky to avoid the numerous data loss incidents and my use cases went along the happy path. I gave it up around 2013 due to privacy concerns.

Evernote worked reliably and well for me across Windows, Linux, and macOS when I was at school in the early 2010s. It had a great web clipper and it was good at handling PDFs and images. Apple Notes could not replicate that. While I pay for Obsidian nowadays, I find it nowhere near as usable as my Evernote setup at that time.

I think there are some open source macOS apps that provide code but sell binaries on the App Store, no?

Such an exam exists also for America, the USCIS Civics Test.

Source?

What happened to it? I thought it seemed pretty neat and thought of using it for a project before the requirements changed.

A little safer and not much harder: use `git config -f`. Something like this, though you may need to test and tweak a little:

  touch "${APP_CONFIG:=${HOME}/.config/myapp.conf}"

  conf_has() { git config -f "${APP_CONFIG}" --get key."$1".val >/dev/null; }

  conf_get() { git config -f "${APP_CONFIG}" --get key."$1".val; }

  conf_set() { git config -f "${APP_CONFIG}" --replace-all key."$1".val "$2"; }

  conf_del() { git config -f "${APP_CONFIG}" --unset-all key."$1".val; }

  conf_list() { git config -f "${APP_CONFIG}" --get-regex '^key' | sed -e 's/^key.//' -e 's/\.val /\t/'; }

Yeah, you're absolutely right. The `os` methods are closest to the base R file operations and those in `pathlib` are closest to `fs` (which is a third-party library for R that requires installation).

I would say so, yes.

Oh, I loved using Io in the late 2000s (and did all my algorithms assignments in it, probably to the chagrin of the instructor who allowed us to use any language we wanted). Maybe that explains some of my affinity toward R. Is there anything else useful that is similar to it these days?

"Epic sea change?" In which society?

Pathlib is a great addition and it's nice that it's in the standard library. I like fsspec also, which has some functionality that overlaps with Python's existing libraries but makes it a little cleaner IMO.

Thank you for the correction. Is it possible to use NSE in say Python or JavaScript?

This is fair. For what it's worth, Python is tending toward this and I think is introducing newer syntax at a faster rate with things such as structural pattern matching and typing, which I have had difficulty explaining to people who don't keep up with each new release.
