My sister can do this— when she was learning to read she would figure out what words would sound like backwards, and over time learning both pronunciations just became the way she learned new words. She was amazed not everyone can do it.


This happened with clojupyter for me. I just gave everyone who submitted something good commit access, and a handful of people who are way better clojure coders than me made it way better in every way.


Thank you! I’ve been looking for a good phonics book.


Uptodate.


This is 100% the correct answer - it’s literally what actual doctors use, even while you’re sitting in their office with them as they diagnose you. It’s subscription only though.


I have pounds of honey from my parents hives that isn’t crystallized even after sitting in my cold basement when it’s sub zero out.


Has it been treated in any way? I've been working with bees for over 20 years now, and I haven't seen honey keep the viscosity for more than a couple of weeks past harvesting, at room temperature. The duration varies based on the blossoms of course, with some such as rape going solid in 10 days while clover can last 4-6 weeks, but in the end, it always crystalizes.


Huh, not that I know of, I’ll ask. They’ve been keeping bees for several years and I’ve never seen the honey crystallized.


A counterexample to the notion that seat backs are good enough: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0JlqtntMt0


Those are not the same seat backs that school buses use. School bus ones are far more "cushy" and flat.

Also, that was an... odd collision; getting rear-ended usually does not eject the driver out the front nor flip a bus on its side.


emacs-prelude is a nice way to get started with emacs if you are a vim user: https://github.com/bbatsov/prelude

You can enable the prelude-evil.el module and start out with a nice set of bindings. It would be sweet if there were some more pull requests to make the evil-mode bindings in prelude more closely match vim.


There are a nice set of org-mode bindings for evil-mode in the prelude-evil.el module that helps quite a bit:

https://github.com/bbatsov/prelude/blob/master/modules/prelu...


You can fix that by setting this:

(setq evil-esc-delay 0)


It is probably a bad sign for the project's culture that people acting like assholes towards each other gave it an air of legitimacy.
