I certainly get the argument, but using something like hugo or gatsby or jekyll when you want to avoid the "churn" also seems like a perfectly valid solution.
It's a social act, one has to roll it, pass it, i've even met people who had some superstitions and strong beliefs about the correct way of consuming a joint (weed in general) :P
> Permaculture is a set of design principles centered on whole systems thinking, simulating, or directly utilizing the patterns and resilient features observed in natural ecosystems. It uses these principles in a growing number of fields from regenerative agriculture, rewilding, and community resilience.
Not parent, but like i said in the thread above, if i were you, i would start with the ancients.
Every fundamental topic that later philosophers discuss is there, and discourse is much simpler.
For full comperhension, some googling of greek terms is required, but it's not that big of a deal in the age of /r/philosophy and communities like that. Also, feel free to hit me up if you have any detailed questions :)
I would start with Philebus. It is considered a pretty late dialogue, so problems with theory of ideals are considered (and musical metaphors play a prominent role). Also, its topic is worthy; Socrates & Protarchus discuss a role that pleasure and reason play in furhishing a good life.
This. Perhaps i'm biased, since i'm supposed to graduate from philosophy department this year, but i do think that reading ancient philosophy (Plato & Aristotle are the most representative example of what was going on there) is the best way to think better -- and get in touch with origins of European culture.
My recommendations, apart from "Sophist" (which is a difficult, very technical dialogue regarding problems with platos theory of ideas) would be "Nicomachean Ethics" (Joe Sachs' translation), "Philebus", "Phaedrus", and of course "The Republic", Platos' magnum opus.
I have not heard before about evil-collection. I have thought about having a custom setup, but my .spacemacs has grown a bit, so it's going to be a major work. I will try it at some point, just to check my elisp-fu
Steve Losh in his already-classic CL blog post [^1] suggests either Vlime or Slimv, quote:
„If you’re like me and already have Vim burned too deeply into your fingers to ever get it out, I’d recommend Vim with Vlime. It will give you 80% of the experience you’ll get with Emacs.”
If you want 100% of SLIME goodness without sacrificing vim, try spacemacs [^2]. I switched about two years ago and am very happy.
Most people, when they're sure they have this amazing one in a million idea want to make it happen and grow a company really big really fast. And for that, you need VCs to supply truckloads of cash to burn through. This comes with a non-obvious price though.
Check out the essay if you haven't read it, it's really good.
Python and C/Java share a lot syntax-wise, but python is higher-level, more beginner friendly language - it's got REPL, big community, lots of intro books and libraries.
And even if you decide not to start with Python, avoid C. As a beginner, you don't want to deal with manual memory management on top of everything else that you have to learn to be a coder.
Well, my game recommendation may seem out of place, but if you look for building&fighting strategy game that is very easy to learn and awfully hard to master, try GO (baduk/weiqi/igo).
And you play using a nice physical goban, the UX is really hard to beat.
