I recommend watching the YouTube channel Asianometry. He's covering this topic and more.

The Gini coefficient is a relative measure. It is possible for the Gini coefficient of a developing country to rise (due to increasing inequality of income) while the number of people in absolute poverty decreases. This is because the Gini coefficient measures relative, not absolute, wealth. In Capital in the 21st Century, Piketty is looking at wealth groups (top 1%, top 10%, rest of the population). And it paints a very different picture.
I use Emacs inside VSCode's terminal just for Magit. And I've configured Emacs to open directly with the magit-status buffer. It beats all the VSCode extensions I have tested.

  (when (string-match "code" default-directory)
    (magit-status)
    (delete-other-windows))
  (with-eval-after-load 'magit
    (define-key magit-status-mode-map (kbd "q") 'save-buffers-kill-terminal))

You can also use the Google Drive app. Touch the plus button and then scan. It is working decently.

The Kivy project seems to be making progress recently. However, I believe it still has a limited scope. It has poor support for native framework features/UI.
You can speed up the build time a lot by preinstalling Scala on the phone or emulator. This will allow you to skip the Proguard step. Here's how you do it http://zegoggl.es/2011/07/how-to-preinstall-scala-on-your-an...

When you have 100 or more buffers open, you may have two files with the same name. Using uniquify (require 'uniquify) helps differentiate them. Instead of getting file<1> and file<2> you get file:"directory_1" and file:"directory_2".

You can control Firefox from emacs using MozRepl. This extension allows you execute code on the browser. For example, you can tell emacs to refresh a specific tab when an html file is saved. MozRepl is not the only extension doing that. There are 4 or 5 similar projects.

That's exactly how I feel too. The worst part is that when I think about the cool stuff I read in the last few weeks, there's really little information I can remember.

Re:Curried Javascript Functions on Monday July 20, 2009 @05:39AM (#714213)
Here's my take:

  function curry(fn, args) {
    if (typeof args == "undefined" || args.length < fn.length)
      return function() {
	if (typeof args == "undefined")
	  args = [];
	return curry(fn, args.concat(Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments)));
      };
    return fn.apply(this, args);
  }
  var add = curry(function(a, b, c) { return a + b + c;});
The emacs shell is also cross-platform and provides the basic shell commands. It can be customized easily with pieces of elisp.
