Cool article. The first time I've seen linear algebra done in RDBMS was with MadLib, a PostgreSQL extension which implements a lot of these operations https://madlib.apache.org/docs/latest/group__grp__matrix.htm...

So all the operations described in the article, and more are implemented here https://github.com/apache/madlib/tree/master/src/ports/postg...

I'm not sure why Madlib is not mentioned in that CACM article

It could be a direct application of Cunningham's law: "The best way to get the right answer on the Internet is not to ask a question; it's to post the wrong answer."

In other words, a curiosity that begs to be proven wrong. We have a saying over here.. "A fool throws a pebble in a pond, and ten wise men can't recover it".

This was predictable. A software package shouldn't be in continous evolution. Org didn't really follow GNU philosophy. That's what commercial software like Microsoft Office does. They keep changing it without adding any value. Org should've been the opposite, future-proof, solid and robust.

I'm not sure what the situation with the tests accompanying Org is, but in order to build future-proof software, tests are mandatory, comprehensive documentation is also very important. There's another element which I haven't really seen with Org, a clear idea of when and where to stop. As previously mentioned, the development phase of software should always have an end, in sight. The cases where software is developed for 2+ decades is very rare. This is mainly related to requirements and to the goal of the software, and I think this is something that wasn't done for Org. It's unclear where Org ends.

It's interesting that Org could never have evolved out of some committee super-formal development environment (with tons of managers, SCRUM masters, architecture boards, etc), but at the same time it is an expertiment out of control. It's very dense and rich in ideas, but also in chaos (I guess we can't really have the former without the latter).

Still I think the parts that distinguish Org from all other dynamic document formats, and from all other markup formats is that.. it's the most advanced, it was there before asciidoc or reStructuredText. Org is a pioneer in many ways.

Was browsing [1] the web and stumbled on this, thought it was interesting enough to submit on HN.

Another mention would be TronScript which is described here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/TronScript/wiki/index

It can be downloaded from one of these mirrors:

This will disable a number of different apps/services/features that are either useless or slow down the OS considerably.

The following script is even nicer as it comes with an UI:

Both are written in powershell.

Thanks for trying it out ! Currently just a large hand-picked list of sources. I looked and yeah, some irrelevant book data sources were present, I just removed them. Try again, tell me if you get better results. (It will be improved over time. I use it when I search for reading material myself)

Which country ?

I've been working on a free service for some time now to allow freelancers to find jobs and understand the job market. It currently contains data from upwork.com and allows you to search for jobs and see various analysis of the job market.

Try it out

All feedback is valuable and I use it to improve the service.
