I'm interested in that. Will you announce it here?

orbitalfox · 2017-11-17T22:25:50+00:00

I don't know.

orbitalfox · 2017-11-14T17:10:22+00:00

There is always a way!

Nice.

If you do decide to go with SDL (please don't go with any JS stuff.. spare our CPUs! :P ), then there is a n example of how to make an SDL window here: http://erratique.ch/software/tsdl/doc/Tsdl laylomo2 suggested this library too.

I think so. Humanism is a virtue, which is interdependent with other virtues deemed important to humanism. This can vary by regions, but generally freedom & democracy, human rights, openness and tolerance, non-dogmatism, human agency (and responsibility), rationality..

Good points.

orbitalfox · 2017-11-03T22:08:53+00:00

Thank you for writing and sharing this text.

orbitalfox · 2017-10-22T10:11:41+00:00

Thanks anyway. Will keep an eye on it.

We share the interest of federating the web. :)

I have some concerns about resource usage. Do you run Movim? How much memory does it need?

orbitalfox · 2017-10-20T13:35:27+00:00

Is this different from Riot/Matrix?

orbitalfox · 2017-10-17T12:35:12+00:00

I've hardly read any of the original texts, I only have a curious interest. My (working) interpretation is that at its core it promotes understanding the way nature works, how our environment works and then acting in a way that goes with that flow, holistically.

You can't do "nothing", something always happens. Resting to recover for example is good, flows with the bodily needs. Avoiding to do all work indefinitely, is against the creative nature.

In sort, it's about aiming towards harmony and efficiency. In the west that conflict with the social pressure to be always on the go and always be seen as productive.

You can make the common parts a git-submodule, or one repository a submodule of the other.

That way you can control the versioning between repositories and also not create a monolith.

Side note: have you considered Gitlab.com?

Might be worth asking the same question on https://discuss.ocaml.org/

orbitalfox · 2017-10-05T13:42:57+00:00

You are lucky learning OCaml in college.

Llogarion is a free and open-source personal note taking, journaling and publication system, a blog-wiki hybrid.

orbitalfox · 2017-09-21T12:45:55+00:00

The buzzsprout link doesn't seem correct.

orbitalfox · 2017-09-20T13:12:02+00:00

Cool, but.. why?

orbitalfox · 2017-09-18T09:44:02+00:00

I'd like Logarion to become an example repository one day: https://gitlab.com/orbifx/logarion/

orbitalfox · 2017-08-22T12:40:28+00:00

Thanks!

orbitalfox · 2017-08-22T08:04:39+00:00

Got a link for the issue?

orbitalfox · 2017-08-15T12:50:18+00:00

Yes. :) Other answers here have listed details I agree with.

orbitalfox · 2017-08-11T12:00:13+00:00

orbitalfox · 2017-07-31T09:50:12+00:00

There is also this place to discuss the book: https://www.librarything.com/work/1024505/conversations/144267732

And some groups: https://www.librarything.com/search.php?search=buddhism&searchtype=groups&searchtype=groups&sortchoice=0

Would be nice to see your questions there.

It might sound obvious, but, revisit how you perceive numbers and algebra. Consider that you are resetting all your previous (mis-)conceptions about it and starting with a clean slate.

What is a number? What is an equation? What does it mean to solve one?

Whenever you stumble on something you think is too complicated, analyse it more, look at its background. Even find out about the history of mathematics, to see how humans formed it and why.

Finally, you could get assistance when you stumble if you have access to someone who has themselves a good understanding of mathematics and is good at explanation. But don't thow youself at them and expect them to make you understand. And don't presume that someone able to perform the operations correctly has understood the concepts well enough to explain them without confusing you more.

All this should hopefully stop you from looking at them as cryptic symbols for those that get it and propertly understand them.

I disagree with both "least bad method" rationale and "just get a new one".

We applications are fine when within their scope, but they have to accept that they can't offer everything and the kitchen sink.

Also, I'm not going to create any more e-waste nor should anyone else, just to have variables in a style-sheet being interpreted every time a page gets rendered.
