bitsofpancake··on Native American gene flow into Polynesia predating Easter Island settlement
No comment about the paper itself, but note that the first author is Alexander Ioannidis, not the John Ioannidis of Covid infamy.
bitsofpancake··on Overthinking Fizzbuzz with Monoids
Translation to Python:

    for i in range(100):
      print((("fizz" if i % 3 == 0 else "") +
             ("buzz" if i % 5 == 0 else ""))
             or str(i))
The "+" makes it a monoid.

I noticed this too. It works if you map to the `Media_*` keys, e.g.

    F6::Media_Prev
    F7::Media_Play_Pause
    F8::Media_Next

bitsofpancake··on Ask HN: Have you remapped the Caps Lock key? [Poll]
On my laptop, I remapped it to be the left click button, and it changed my life. I used to find dragging windows and files around and selecting text such a pain with a touchpad, but with this remapping, I can do it really, really easily. I just use my left hand to click and my right hand to move the cursor. Try it!

Anyone know how I can remap the Caps Lock key this way on a Mac?
