The suttas are probably very hard to understand without background knowledge or commentary (or, really, actual practice), but of course I don't know which of the commentaries GP refers to. The dhammacakkappavattana sutta, being one of the important/famous ones, has truly voluminous commentary from truly voluminous sources.

GP refers to "continuous effort to face the uncomfortable". I'm not sure that I'd use that sentence to summarise the Buddhas teaching to be honest. But I suppose that it could be a reference to the 6th limb of the noble eightfold path (right-effort), or the 7th (right-mindfulness), or to the 1st noble truth (the truth of unsatisfactoriness/ suffering).

First sermon aside, his last words also, as given in the maha-parinibbana sutta, were to be "heedful" or to "strive diligently".

what's the point of that?

it takes a while to learn how to use your text editor well, and everyone is probably good at a different one. but they all pretty well have the ability to produce the same result, so why bother forcing one?

it's better to (have a tool that can) specify what the end result should look like and let people work the way that they are good at.

If I had some persistent problem or concern I would just bring it up, I wouldn't wait for some scheduled meeting. I guess some managers might not be so easily available.

The OpenBSD license template is slightly different, eliding the "/or". http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/~checkout~/src/shar...

I believe the same is true of other paradigms. Of course complexity is difficult. Do concatenative languages exaggerate the effect?

It confuses me that it doesn't work for functions. like

    int main() return 0;

I have had good luck with https://www.arpnetworks.com/

I have had good luck with arpnetworks. So far only noticed one outage in three years of use. Have had good network and CPU performance. They don't do tech support for things inside your operating system, but they are always helpful when I ask them to do things on their end.

I've seen this notation quite commonly.

I haven't looked at the link but based on your quote your comment about page 14 doesn't look right. The different notation doesn't change the number of times you need to write the operator.

Your new equation is just writing the same thing on each side, but using a different notation. It's like a=a. Whereas their equation is apparently giving an identity.
