Man, this looks great!

A fortuitous thing for me as well, as I've been starting to look for a trainer like this just know?

Been playing the guitar for a long time for now and I know my basic theory... but give me a keyboard I takes me a while to figure out my scales, chords, progressions and so on. Now that I've some time to get back to music... and sitting in front of a DAW oftentimes a keyboard is what I got.

So it was an instabuy for me (via itch.io), thank you and I'll follow the github repo as well to keep me up to date.

So then, what are you suggesting?

Science bad, Education bad, then what is good?

It could, or it could not.

It also could be boredom, bad diet, too much or too little exercise, lack of sleep, overexhaustion, underlying medical condition, or just a phase and so on.

These questions can't be answered by: me, yourself or a random stranger on the net.

Seriously, see a medical professional. I'm speaking from experience here.

A bad analogy (and I'm not being snarky) would be: "I've got a headache, have I got brain cancer?"

To my knowledge the only recent project using ternary was the cryptocurrency/token IOTA, but even they dropped it.

I don't think there would be any gain from ternary unless the hardware was using trits as well. But all of our computing hardware is binary at the moment.

Measles, Mumps, Rubella, Tetanus, Polio, and now Coronavirus thank you for your service.

At what point does a vaccine stop being experimental?

I mean, we've got plenty of proof that they work.

Yeah, Everything is fantastic.

I've mapped Win+Alt+Space to activate Everything (Settings > Keyboard), then set "Clear Window on Execute" (Settings > General) to on.

Now a simple keypress gets me search, I can quickly navigate using cursor keys and on selection it closes the search window.

If I'm looking for something fancier I can use the keyboard shortcut, then Ctrl+R to enable Regex search and so on.

Fast and simple.

Oh man... let's hope it's fixable.

I know the Webb is going to be out there soon, but a) it's not out there yet b) I think NASA could still squeeze a hell of a lot of mileage out of Hubble.

I'm not one for pre-emptive eulogies but I want to say a massive "thank you" to the Hubble project so far.

Well, the book is a proper tome, but the section on Stoics is very concise (as is rest of the book, really), so I'd go for "A History of Western Philosophy" by Bertrand Russell.

The book also gives a good context on where Stoicism arose, so it might be worthwhile to skim the sections before, though there's no need to get too deep with, say, Aristotle's metaphysics.

Why people are not ordering?

The people who care already have one, or they've taped over it anyway. The rest don't probably care.

You've had an easy computing life if that's the worst you had to deal with.

But it's not like there are no alternatives, say, PathFinder.

Kind of like people used to say, "Internet Explorer is only good for downloading FireFox."

It's missing Oracle Cloud's free tier.

Now, I don't like Oracle, their goings about with Java or their database (fortunately currently I don't have to maintain any of those), but their always free tier is solid, and I'd rank it as the best among free offerings.

I made an issue for it's inclusion, but for those who want a decent free cloud service, do check it out https://www.oracle.com/cloud/free/

You get 2 VMs with 1GB RAM, 2 Block Volumes for 100GB total, 10GB Object Storage, 10GB Archive Storage, 2 Virtual Oracle Databases (20GB) , Load balancer, 10TB outbound traffic/month and 10TB outbound bandwidth

I'm not a particularly experienced or good Lisp programmer, I can customize Emacs, but that's pretty much it.

However, I think this article is a bit skewed and not highlighting things Python has.

For instance, the standard library means that Python is more usable out of the box.

Also when you've got things like iPython or Jupyter it means you can get off the ground easily.

So, in the end, they're two different languages, and I do not think either is better of the two. Right tool for the job and all that.
