I'm probably a niche user, but better crypto and web3 support (still cannot make firefox recognize my hardware wallet on Linux). That's the singular most important reason I switched, after many years.

... It'll raise trust if they follow through their promises. Open source Pocket, yet?

You are incorrect. Coinbase regularly gets audited practically every other week by some random regulating body in the country. I’d say ask someone who works there, but you probably won’t as calling any Crypto exchange as ‘Bitcoin’ exchange is something that died off around 2015.

1/3 of Go’s website on my iOS screen, is “Recent news” plus a random “featured video”. For a landing page of a programming language, This is cartoonishly bad.

Interesting! But you see all of the benefits of syntax highlighting and real-time linting is about being steered towards a working code in a gradual and unmotivated way, prior to actually intending to check whether the code works... Although I'm not sure how critical this really is. My personal argument for them might really `only` be habit.

One of the main argument for Acme was that keyboard navigation is tends to be one dimensional, whereas navigating with mouse is two dimensional.

I find it curious that a higher-than-one dimensional representation of a program is not present: proper syntax highlighting makes debugging much faster.

Say, I want to see some expression with deeply nested parenthesis (lisp-style, or nested function calling in Python) is matching. I can do that with my eyes, checking the color of the beginning and the ending parenthesis. Same goes for, say, if I want to find a string in my program. I don't have to care about the quotation mark, I can just look at its color being different from the rest.

Executing commands with the mouse is heavily underrated and is a behavior I fail to faithfully replicate in i3 - or even Emacs, for that matter - but only if you guys had syntax highlighting...

It's great for transferring [large] sums of money internationally.

It's not great for doing anything illegal, and criminals get caught faster because they're using Bitcoin [1].

What's the point of defining summation methods for divergent series? Do they have any connections to any other area of mathematics or physics? Is analytic continuation of complex analysis relevant to these things? How about p-adics?

The sources, at least for engineering section, are not useful at all.

Assuming this stuff is needed in the first place:

Spivak's calculus, while a fantastic read, was "difficult" for motivated honors students at institutions like Harvard. Great exposition, and great exercises, but it's mostly for aspiring math people who want to spend some time on the exercises. For example, within the first couple of chapters, readers will have to do epsilon-delta style of inequalities and basically learn the tricks, before reading about them in the "limit" chapter. For calculus, any lightweight calculus book would do. For analysis, Abbott's "Understanding analysis" is quite illuminating and if exercises are your thing and want to build up to real analysis from the natural numbers in an accessible way, then Tao's analysis volume 1 would be good.

"All of statistics" is a bad introduction to statistics because it contains too many things (Kullback-leibler?!) early on?! It's a great book for a reference or for a refresher, but not something to learn from. Wackerly is light enough introduction to statistics, and for probability, Bertsekas!

Does using "User-Agent switcher" or similar extensions have any effect on this functionality?

Absolutely.

Either Horizontally if we all die or Vertically, given enough time if you zoom-out enough.

Reminds me of a ZUI shell: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zooming_user_interface

Do you have it running stock Android? If so, what do you do since Google stopped providing updates? If not, which ROM are you using?

I'll check Daniel Shanks' book out. But the OP was interested in reaching a level where the proof of such summation is not `black magic` - at least that was my impression - which implies reaching a level considerably higher than the minimum... Hardy would be helpful, and is at a sufficiently higher level than future Project Euler questions he might encounter e.g. those involving continued fractions, or Diophantine equations, or even modular arithmetic etc.

Read G.H. Hardy's Introduction to Number Theory, Then possibly A Course of Pure Mathematics, also by him.

Note that the level for which you're aiming, is a level wherein such summation is much closer to triviality, than it is to `black magic` - whatever that means.

What's "L-calculus"? And what does "alternative formulations that rely not on the limit of the addition but on the limit of a multiplier" mean? Any resources?

This is happening, as a direct consequence of Stephen Wolfram's ego, not because there's something inherently wrong with Mathematica, the language (now renamed to "Wolfram language"), or the ecosystem.

IMO Above average smart people feel better about themselves, if they keep thinking to themselves that there aren't any obscenely smart successful people that can make decisions and produces results that they could have produced only by being part of a large group. Because if they didn't, then their lack of success would have been attributed to them not being lucky or not being at a right place/time, not that they themselves simply are just not as good as they thought they are.

As others pointed out, snippets are not macros. And in addition using macros for simple text transformation that was pointed out by @ethagnawl, below are other ideas all of which I use on an almost daily basis:

1. Macros can be shared with different buffers which enables you to a) do complicated transformations in a step by step manner and b) do transformations where the content of one buffer affects the content of another etc.

2. Macros can have state, typically demonstrated by having a counter. Imagine replicating your keys, but somewhere in between, a number is incremented or a word from a list is being chosen etc.

3. Extension of (2) is generative ones e.g. abo abo's `tiny` package.

4. Macros can act in arbitrary buffers. For example, If you're in `dired` or `ranger-mode` or alike, you could edit the file system the same way you were editing the code.

The common denominator of all these is the keyboard. Any GUI version would either be too complex to represent all the possible variations, or there are use cases that are not covered by GUI and those use cases -if they matter to you- would be the reasons you'd be gravitating towards keyboard based editors. For the case of notepad, the uncovered use cases are quite trivial. :)

Editor macros are one of the reasons you'll want to use Emacs or Vim instead of notepad. They're just like linguistic macros: You'll never know you need one if you haven't used one. However unlike linguistic macros -where choosing to use one is much more of a design decision than a necessary step- the only viable alternative to editor macros are doing their job by hand.

Could you explain more about integrating acme ideas into a tiling wm, or possibly share your dotfiles? I've tried doing that with i3, but the window manager has less than optimal mouse support to say the least, and wmii is dead.
