For the creator of Wordle and their partner, who obviously have some love of word puzzles, REBUS (a picture to word puzzle) would be a familiar word.

The latter would be a very useful code commit message, (the line #55 may be excessive), both for the author and the reviewer.

Sometimes the discrete unit I am looking to listen to is the album, not just a song.

The Linnstrument captures the dynamic range of strike and release velocity, as well as pressure and aftertouch direction; translated to MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression).

As someone with relatively small hands for piano, I have been enjoying the wider range of intervals with one hand provided by the Linnstrument's layout.

The project's ethos is very similar to Rob Pike's 'dream setup' that he describes in his usesthis interview, http://rob.pike.usesthis.com/

Re:Keyboard innovation is making them worse on Saturday January 18, 2014 @08:37AM (#7080962)
Try remapping it so that the Command buttons, i.e., the keys next to the Space Bar, are Control. This was the position of the old Symbolics machines. To my hands, it makes Emacs much more efficient, since the rest position for the thumbs can be between the Space Bar and the Control keys.
How is that a win/win?

Re:GitHub was down on Tuesday June 11, 2013 @10:51PM (#5866225)
What I would like to see is an analogue to offlineimap for GitHub's project management services.

The protocol could even be email based.

e.g. a pull request is an email with the git formatted patch attached. Issues are emails with discussions as threaded mail/news, etc.

I'm one of the co-maintainers of the project.

You're right that there is a chasm between backtesting and actual trading.

The title may be a little future thinking, we are working on adapting the event/stream-based backtesting engine to drive live trading.

Updating the description to help declare intended goals of being a wider algorithmic trading suite.

If backup files are giving you an issue, you can change the behavior of emacs so that it saves backup files in a separate directory, instead of the alongside the file that is being edited.

(setq backup-directory-alist `(("." . "~/saves"))) (setq tramp-backup-directory-alist backup-directory-alist) (setq backup-by-copying t)
