Re:How to Study Mathematics (2017) on Saturday March 20, 2021 @07:16PM (#26526787)
I am sort of facing the same problem. On one hand I like math, abstract algebra, calculus etc but on the other hand I know I am not great with it. I am slow, I am not creative. So, when trying to learn something for programming like differential geometry, when I go deeper than I need to, I feel like I am wasting my time. And sometimes it is particularly hard to read a book written for mathematicians because my knowledge of it is not as "continuous" as theirs.
Emacs does have a package to use tree-sitter [0]. I think emacs-lsp is aware of this highlighting backend and performs pretty well.

(semantic highlighting is pretty slow for C++ with font-lock, with tree-sitter it's a breeze :))

Krita is primarily C++/Qt based. Qt does technically support Android. So any app written in it could work, but nevertheless, it was imperative to tweak Qt code to get Krita useable on Android. :-)
IMO, it is better to educate the society not to trust the forwards people randomly send them. In fact, there should be consequences for the people who start the spread.

Blocking the internet is out right foolish and harmful.

I am sorry, but I am actually scared to say anything. I left Kashmir a few days back. So, I am in another state and I don't think I am perfectly safe.
