Spacemacs is great, just use the dev branch (I think) instead of master.

Well, that is true.

I don't heat because I want it cold. It's hot enough in summer, in winter it's finally cool.

I'll be following this

I thought I read that Hacket wasn't actively developed anymore?

I, too, would rather maintain spaghetti code contained in thousands of huge classes all over the code base.

This kind of reminds me of this comment (moveable feast engine): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17877155

Ah, I see you're a man of culture as well.

I've been using Julia along with python and Pytorch, not yet for machine learning until flux is more mature but for NLP scripts, and I have to say that I'm starting to like it. Multiple dispatch, linear algebra and numpy built in, dynamic language but with optional types, user defined types, etc.

Exactly. Could have been great but isn't.

Just don't do anything before you have a legitimate source! ;)

The notebook should be fine but I'd avoid the cheap paper, just to be sure. Which nib are you using? With a f nib I'd avoid it for sure.

Which is not really that much. Clean it once in a while and the refill is extremely easy, even with a syringe.

It forces you to write in a certain way which means you learn correct hand placement, pressure, angle, etc. With a cheap pencil you learn bad habits.

Also, what paper are you using? 90g? High quality paper does make a difference.

I don't have the link any more but I believe there's a way to smoothen the nib by writing on fine graded 'smoothing paper', not sure what it's called in English, with a little bit of water. Also, I don't think soap is advisable, use filtrated water as tap water can contain minerals that might damage the nib. That's just some stuff that I remember, might not be 100% true. Maybe someone can provide a link.

I have used Lamy M nibs for several years during school and they're too broad for my taste. Now, after several years of trying pencils I'm using a Faber-Castell studio with an f nib and it's very smooth, even with standard pelikan ink.

I absolutely cannot stand medium nibs, it's horrible for smaller or narrow handwritings. Also, with a decent quality paper F nibs are just as comfortable to write with.

If you value handwriting, it makes sense to invest in a good pen and high-quality paper. I have a decent fountain pen and notebooks and it not only makes handwriting more fun, I also noticed that I remember more of what I write down than when using a PC.

What do you mean by original math?

I mean, technically it is sending signals to earth, just not in the way this headline suggests.
