Is Wine ever going to be able to run the current version of Microsoft Office? This is the main app keeping people in Windows.

Very interesting. Would be useful to know how this compares to other Lisps and what could be some use cases.

I love this. This was my introduction to programming. Got this cartridge on my 10th birthday almost 40 years ago. I stayed awake until 4:30am typing some of the programs in the manual. I have been in love with computation since then. This cartridge changed my life.

Is there a way to use Emacs on Wezterm using all the same keystrokes as Emacs GUI? (e.g., Meta/Control/Shift + Arrows, Control + Backspace, etc.).

Two programs that do just that are JabRef (https://www.jabref.org/) and Emacs’ BibTeX mode (http://www.jonathanleroux.org/bibtex-mode.html). Both are excellent. Which one to use depends on whether you prefer a GUI or the programmability and text interface of Emacs.

But it does have the arrows, which are useful for many applications. It would be ideal if there was a "pro" HHKB with arrows.

It would be very easy for Linux to increase its market share: make it easy to run Android apps.

When the tomography method is well developed, couldn’t this be use to scan the neural structure of a live brain? (i.e., to upload a brain)

Very nice additions!

Although I was secretly hoping that Awesome would add support for Guile or some other Lisp (IMHO Lua is Awesome's only drawback).

This is very neat. I want to have one, but don't want to have to assemble it. Any ideas about where I can buy one already assembled? (I wouldn't mind, say, paying a 20% surcharge over the prices mentioned in the article).

SSRN posts anything (no peer review). It has the same function as arXiv.

The only issue I see with moving to arXiv right now is that currently arXiv only accepts papers on topics such as physics, math, and CS. For arXiv to be helpful to the SSRN crowd, it would need to have a few new categories (e.g., "quantitative social science", which could be split into subtopics mirroring the main topics in economics and management science journals).

This would be the right time for arXiv to start accepting quantitative social science papers. Most papers at SSRN fall under that label. My guess is that most authors would happily move their papers from SSRN to arXiv in the blink of an eye.

Is there a good book that surveys most of the logics mentioned in the articile? I only know of books that go deep in one or two of these logics (e.g., predicate calculus, fuzzy logic), but haven't seen a resource that surveys all (or a good number) of them. Any recommendations?
