emgee_1··on Economics Nobel laureate Paul Romer is a Python programming convert
I believe they prefer window like interfaces instead of scripting or programming your models. Stata used to be only command line driven and probably still has that functionality ( I used it in 1997-2007) ; then again as a mathematician I prefer R. Or any computer algebra system.

Success is the poison of this society
emgee_1··on Mod and remainder are not the same
a = b ( mod n) is defined as n | a - b That is n is a divisor of a -b ( a, b, n integers n non zero) Obviously if p is prime and p | n Then also a = b ( mod p)
emgee_1··on NetBSD 8.0 released
Well if you are using emacs, like I do, what else do you need? Ok maybe a browser outside of emacs and a pdf viewer:-) And a tmux session somewhere.

Someone once said:

I just need a bootloader for emacs :-)

Can you elaborate a bit? What kind of DE?

emgee_1··on The Cult of the Root Cause
I think that 5W and 5W2H are means to develop a network of logical reasoning. These diagrams ( fishbone and Ishikawa) are used as a means to discuss what attack areas you have concerning a problem. They are used in many ways and in many different fields. They are very useful when designing experiments (DoE). 8D and 10D teams use them extensively in (high tech) manufacturing.
emgee_1··on An Interesting Pattern in the Prime Numbers: Parallax Compression
Maybe it is good to know that within the sequence of all prime numbers there infinitely wide gaps : take (n+1)! +2, (n+1)! +3, ..., (n+1)! + (n+1)

That is a sequence of n consecutive numbers none of which are prime.

Not sure how that would map in this triangle shape yet.

Marketing is evil.

It is lying on a massive scale.

If I want something I’ m go to look for it not the other way around.

If you track me I will dispise you and will root you out. Sort of /r

No downsides. All your mail is downloaded locally and off line available. Fast Search with mu.

Really if there is one thing you should do this year is take some time and discover emacs. Just for orgmode alone. You will Thank me later :-)

In a nutshell: Emacs is a machine. A lisp machine. It will work for you instead that you work for your computer.

It will do anything you want ( and more)

Now is the time to discover this shining gem in all of softwares.

So you read HN. Hacker news. You set up iSync (mbsync) and all Your Gmail via IMAP. Since you are a hacker, you use emacs (or if you are less fortunate :-) vim) Now configure mu4e, notmuch or gnus. All Your actions are now a simple keystroke away: C compose R reply F forward And never bother with Gmail interface :-)
emgee_1··on Emacs for Writers (2015) [video]
You probably want then to exchange both the .org file and .docx file and let them make changes to the .org file. They will quickly see how the docx file looks very much the same to the .org file Then you can diff the modified .org file with the original. Using git you incorporatecthe changes
