An essay on Buddhism

To shed some light on some of my personal views and beliefs, below is an essay on Buddhism and science. Authored by yours truly.

Why don't we use our feet as input?

I came across the VIM clutch.

VIM Clutch is a hardware pedal for improved text editing speed for users of the magnificent VIM text editor

As an emacs user, I could use one.

10 German words every programmer should know

Well, I'm taking German classes and for the last couple of days I've been looking over code mit Deutsch Kommentare. Alas:

Mittelung = averaging
(Such)Schleife = (search)loop
Betrag = amount
Verteilen = distribute
Vertrag = contract
Umsetzung = implementation
Stand = status
Eingabe - Ausgabe = input / output
Eigenwert = intrinsic value
Entwickler = developer

If you think I missed anything, feel free to add more in the comments below :)

Coming from a reader:

it struck me how many original German words exist for computer terms, which in the Netherlands have all been borrowed from the English language. Same case in French, by the way. But in Germany there still exist such nice words as "Rechner" (computer), Tastatur (keyboard) and many others.

In Romanian, "calculator" stuck as the word for "computer".
