This is the name of the city today, but this has not always been the case. In the past, Leuven was a bilingual city, and to many of the people who lived there, the city was known as Louvain.

Back then, a large proportion of Flemish intellectuals (including my grandparents) were French-speaking, which is a reason why there were so many French students and professors in Leuven/Louvain. Therefore I think that, in the context of the article, the "wrongness" of calling the city Louvain is not as clear-cut as you suggest.

Not so concisely I would say. What source are you refering to here? Because the Pali Cannon is very long…

To anyone interested in reading more reports (and more nuanced ones, in my opinion) from experienced meditators, I highly recommend the streamentry subreddit (https://old.reddit.com/r/streamentry).

Why don't you stick to the energy growth rate (instead of the 4.72% velocity growth rate) and then use the relativistic formula of the kinetic energy (in which the relationship between energy and velocity is not quadratic — the quadratic approximation is valid only for small velocities)?

I also prefer guix's documentation. `info guix` is a very good resource. :)

Orientation is only two numbers, since a unit vector does the job? So, three numbers in total?
Re:Why Open Source Misses the Point of Free Software (2016)

There seems to be a lot of confusion here about what open source means. In practical terms, open source and free software imply the same freedoms for the users, including the rights to change and redistribute the source code.
The more common terminology for proprietary software whose source is available is source-available.
