The idea would be:

* replace the GNU Emacs runtime written in C/Rust with one which is already provided by a Common Lisp implementation. Each Common Lisp implementation has its own runtime already, but those are not application specific to an editor. Several Common Lisp runtimes for example support multi-threaded Lisp code, native Lisp code, various GCs, support for more data types, better error handling, ... plus they support much of the basic Lisp stuff which is in the GNU Emacs runtime (evaluating code, loading code, ...)

* move some C/Rust code into Common Lisp, since Common Lisp compilers make it possible to write a wider range of code directly in Lisp.

* provide some low-level C code to Common Lisp via it's FFI. That way the C code does not need to be a part of the runtime.

But the topic is dead, because the expertise to do something like that is rare and the GNU Emacs community has no interest moving in this direction.
I think that's a very important point that most people tend to ignore. In many discussions, people simply assume and take it as an obvious fact that family >> work. I think this is only true for some kinds of work, and generally only true for not-so-fulfilling jobs. It even feels like it is somewhat arrogant , or maybe just narrow minded, to focus solely on influencing their kids or having a stable relationship. What about the rest of the world? It's not OK to simply forget about it.
I had a discussion with a friend about that subject.

I told him that what money brings in is highly non-linear.

When you start in life, every euro counts. It is the "to cinema or not cinema" (or whatever you like). It also mean substantial changes in housing.

Then comes a moment you are on a plateau (my case today). I own a house (payed off), a car, have a family, and earn enough to be secure. I know that I will be able to afford two extra rents when my children leave for university. That I can travel the world if I want to without any big hit on my budget, etc. In short : a comfortable life.

It would take a significant amount of money (raise) to move up in my chart (first class travel everywhere, or a jet, or a yacht or several apartments worldwide).

So money cannot buy me much more than I have today - the recent great, great improvement was to have someone come and clean the house twice a week.

Since I am rather frugal, my own definition of "comfortably rich" is to be able to go to any normal store and not check the prices of what I am buying , especially to compare two products and decide on the cheaper one.

EDIT: I was once offered the possibility to, as I put it, move up in my chart. A golden opportunity with a fantastic salary in what looks like a nice company. I did not take it because it would have meant more business travel, wearing a suit all the time, etc. My family and comfort is more important. But this is only because I am today at this plateau which is enough for me. I would have taken it if that meant moving from "struggling" to "stable".

I think it is clear what he means from the remainder of the blog post:

I see a lot of people assert that safety issues (leading to exploitable bugs)

It is obvious that he is referring to typical C/C++ safety issues buffer overflows, use after free, etc.

Even when dealing with Python arrays

You can introduce security vulnerabilities in any programming language. But safe languages exclude a host of memory-related vulnerabilities, which are a substantial proportion of all vulnerabilities.

Safety is not binary, some languages provide better safety or better means to model domain data safely than other languages.
Technology Developments in Data Security, Say Goodbye to the Firewall
That's because it's not a constant machine, and is in fact interrupted constantly, sometimes by an early death. If we actually come up with a machine that is truly constant and stable, it will be the end of civilization as we know it. People might think that they would never fall for it and would never just stay in a room hooked to something like that but that comes from a misunderstanding of the power this hypothetical machine holds. Looking at the lengths a heroin addict will go to secure diminishing returns should give anyone a hint of the terrible potency of such an invention.

> Another point worth focusing on here is that raises are really determined by the business value that you're producing

I mean, notionally, yeah. But that's putting the employer up a pedestal of competency that may not be justified. Less poetically: it's forgetting just how hard it can be to measure that value, and the role of optics and "managing up"; there's also the consideration for excellence on never-released projects; in such a case, do you or do you not deserve a raise?

There's many more factors that go into "your business value"; intelligence, passion, communication, and luck (right place, right time) are some, but not all, of the factors.

What you are saying is definitely correct in an ideal world, but we live in a sub-ideal world; that's why there's valuable problems to solve in the first place.

Consistent as in you can do it while focusing on solving business problems, instead of only when safety is the primary thing you're concentrating on.

Safe as in a minor bug is unlikely to be an exploitable security hole.

> My last startup went bust in part due to the fact that we avoided hiring as long as possible in order to save money.

While not going bust, I had a similar experience. In the early stages, you think you can do everything yourself, and you can. Network, hardware, software back and front, systems, the lot.

So once we had a little success I found it very hard to get my cofounders to spend a bit of money on some relief. Ended up paying up for some guy who wasn't compatible, and let him go soon after, which soured their taste for hiring entirely.
So it compiles your code into a bundle with ruby interpreter so that you don't need one during execution? It sounds like what youtube-dl does in Windows by adding the interpreter to the executable. Useful but not in speeding things up but in packaging without dependencies.

They should probably mention that in the README because it is ambiguous and I thought it was a bytecode or binary compiler for Ruby at first.

You can have "safe" buggy code as long as you avoid the subset of bugs that can open a security vulnerability. It's possible to make such a mistake in any language but some make it harder than others. C's laissez-faire approach to memory management makes it very easy to introduce a small bug that leads to a major security vulnerability.

Success or happiness doesn't come or stay easily.

Things don't get easier, you just get better. As you get better, you get challenged in new ways. How you call with challenges often had a big impact on happiness and enjoying success.

Ones work in life isn't always tied to one's life work.

Finding a balance between work, success, happiness and money evolved greatly in my 20's to my 30's.

You become more well rounded as a result of meeting people, new experiences and lessons learned.

Happiness for me includes not needing to look at what others are doing, and be happy for others at the same time. It's something I have to earn and keep earning.

Earning catches up when you get good at adding value and building the discipline to deliver day in and day out.

I have my interests and discovering I can persue them in most opportunities is invaluable, I can just focus on getting better at solving problems and adding value.
It's also the reason behind the poor orthography and other low-quality traits of such e-mails. They rather effectively filter out everyone who isn't gullible enough to be fooled, saving them a lot of time dealing with non-serious replies.

I actually picked up a few of the first ones there via ebay a while ago, to trial off a smaller tank with around 2 metre head, but haven't plugged them in yet. Winter means frosts, and no great need for automatic watering. I note someone else has had bad experience with them - I've used the normal pressure versions of those with some success - a couple of years, with 9-monthly battery changes, seems reasonable for the price - just frustrating when they go wrong (usually just before a fortnight of 40+ Celsius days).

The actuator though, that looks very relevant to my interests. I've just done a google spiral on CR02 (and similar) wiring, to control via an arduino, say. With 3s to close / open, and only 12V required, this seems quite feasible to have a cheap solar charged battery sitting and running a half dozen of these of a manifold. The benefits of a switching solenoid in terms of power consumption, with a simpler control mechanism?

The last link you posted seems to imply it will talk to a solenoid (NC or NO) only - would be very curious how that goes.

> How many calls a month do you receive?

Varies by time and by recipient. My "bad" months only net ~10 robocalls, but I'm apparently on the low end. That's more than reaches my email spam folder! I basically no longer pick up for unrecognized numbers - which has it's own problems.

> What do they offer?

From what I can tell, the ones calling me are straight up scammers. "Rachel with cardholder services", "free vacation" nonsense, etc.

> Isn't there any kind of regulation?

Ineffective ones, yes. I may have recieved one or two legal robocalls (there are a few exemptions for e.g. political calls) but the majority I get are illegal. Enforcement is problematic - caller ID spoofing is common. VOIP lets a call center in India spoof your local area code, and even enforcement against domestic callers has taken distressingly long.

> If I remember correctly the law here says it's ok for you to call people to offer services or sell things, but there has to be a human talking, which is quite the deterrent.

We have similar here - although I'm not sure if it's legal to blind call cellphones, or numbers in the "do not call" registry, unless you've established some kind of business relationship. They're also generally required to add you to their own "do not call" lists if you tell them to (possibly an exception there for debt collectors?)

Meanwhile, these robocallers don't have a means of opting out, don't have the scammer on the line to yell at, and run the same fucking campaign for months! It'd be one thing if those ~10/month calls were varied - but no, it's the exact same prerecorded message 20 times from 20 unique spoofed phone numbers all hailing from my own area code, that I hang up 3 seconds into because I remember their intros.

Such a satisfying description
Pure THC, not cannabis, was used.
It really was - they were properly part of the family for a few months - and it used to go out and play in the garden and come back in the house when it was ready to rest or hungry - at first we locked it in a cage at night but soon we didn't, and it was very happy.

But for ages it couldn't feed itself and relied on me dropping cat food into its open beak with tweezers - I'm pretty sure it did this longer than it would in the wild. Then one day when it was playing in the garden it learnt how to catch worms and insects, and then the next day it started drinking from puddles and then the next day it just flew away.

It might have returned, but to be honest even then it would have been hard to recognise amongst other magpies - but it never tried to come in the house again, even though we left the doors open.

For a few years after (and even now to be honest) I sometimes shout 'Marilyn' when I see magpies - hoping it will recognise me ;) (we chose 'Marilyn' as I'd recently read it was historically a mans name, so I thought it was good to choose something gender neutral)
I'm torn on this.

I love cooking, am good at it, and I think I have quite a refined taste, but what tastes good isn't often the most healthy option.

I fully agree that life should be enjoyable, but I'm not sure that every aspect has to.

I like your truck analogy. Isn't the purpose of the truck, or rather what it does best, driving at its full capacity? That's why you only pump it full of gas, and not tequila or cream.

I'm currently in worse shape than I was a few years ago, while eating more "fun". But in all honesty I got much more enjoyment out of being more fit, less tired, stronger, clearer head, and frankly looking in the mirror too.

I'll take any of that enjoyment over fleeting meals. If I could have both, great, but if not, self restraint and delayed gratification is a reward in itself.

Disclaimer: This isn't specifically about Soylent, which I have yet to try, but about the concept of eating less exciting but healthy foods.

I'm sure you're right in general, but I notice a huge difference between a new toothbrush and one that's I've used for a couple of months. The bristles are stiffer and straighter. If my gums are sensitive, the new one will make them bleed, which is probably a good thing.

Sure, it hasn't physically decomposed, but there's no reason to expect a $1 piece of plastic to keep the same performance after hundreds of thousands of abrasions in a wet, acidic, bacteria-ridden environment.

My Personal experience tells me that Money alone doesn't bring you happiness.

Around two years ago, I was working at a middle tier SW outsourcing company, which payed me a respectable salary. Nothing great but it was quite enough for me.

Then I landed a job at a hot startup, which had already raised its first round. They offered me nearly double the salary that I was getting then. I didn't think twice and accepted the offer.

Two years have gone by and all the extra money that I have made in that time has not brought much change in me or my life. I have started spending more freely, but that doesn't make me much happier than I previously was. Maybe it's just me, but money doesn't seem to do it for me!
Thank you everyone for your replies. The thing i learn most is that for most people success has nothing to do with money. It gives me a lot of new perspective about success.

Chssbot: a Twitterbot which tweets random historical chess games every 4h
I've never been one for going to a gym (although with life getting busier and busier it's probably about time that it's worth looking at).

However I routinely move gearboxes and engine blocks around my home workshop, lift the car and turn spanners underneath it (trying to crack exhaust manifold studs while laying on your back and only having half a foot's worth of arm room can be an awesome workout on your arms, haha!), take the chainsaw out into the bush and lop up firewood, etc etc, as well as a morning routine of stretches. I try to keep quite active outside of office hours and do tasks which simulate the kinds of workouts people regularly do in gyms to make up for the tremendous amount of sitting I do 9-5.

Obviously I'm not setting targets and able to quantify my fitness from the things I do, however I've successfully staved off the 'programmers belly" for the better part of a decade and a half so far.
