>I have not used one program til this day that is easier and more optimised for user customisation than Emacs

The Leo editor comes close. Unfortunately, the documentation is a bit lacking. As is the UI - almost as bad as Emac's :-). The mailing list and developers are, in my experience, very helpful and in the short time I used it, they quickly created functions/commands for me when I asked "Hey, I can do it in Emacs - how can I do it in Leo?"
I did not say that for the record
>That's an advantage for other people

I agree and disagree. Why are pedestrians so great? Because they're low speed, start and stop extraordinarily quickly, change direction extraordinarily easily, and two of them bumping into each other is extraordinarily unlikely to cause even the smallest amount of damage. Try to count the number of times you've seen two pedestrians do the dance trying to figure out who is going left and who is going right to pass each other... and then try to imagine a bike or scooter doing that. You can't, because they can't.

Segways almost can, though. They can stop hard and reverse direction very easily, then rotate on a dime.

Bike have a predictable momentum and direction, sure. But pedestrians don't, and pedestrians are used to having extraordinary flexibility when it comes to obstacle avoidance. If a pedestrian walks in front of a pedestrian, you stop and/or swerve and/or contort your body to get around them. If a pedestrian walks in front of a Segway, provided the Segway can't stop (which is unlikely), maybe they get bumped or knocked down, but the Segway would likely bounce back, meaning it stops moving forward. If a pedestrian walked in front of a bicycle, at least two people are likely to get extraordinarily injured. Even if the bike stopped in time, the biker has to secure themselves since they can't autobalance like a pedestrian or Segway.

Again, I think Segways get a bad rap because 1) they were new and expensive, so everyone wrote them off as self-indulgent and they never became common enough to shake that, and 2) many people using them don't know how to pilot them (Segway tours). Bikes and scooters are both far worse transport solutions for cities, and especially for sidewalks.

I am curious. In your eyes, what evil has the US military done?
No, the point is that the cost of automating this should be part of the cost of doing the collection, not a separate item.

Food Fight: How Corporations Ruined Food [video]
Although I've been using Emacs daily since 1991, I can't imagine how the code behind your link helps or how starting a recursive editing session helps with the problem you are replying to.
> Popular packages get featured, so you can hear about things you wouldn't even know to ask for. Instead of static code, you get free updates whenever they're available. The code in most packages is tested. All the information on how it works is in the Readme.

Sure, and Emacs has this with MELPA (And Atom with... whatever they have). It's great paradigm and all editors should have it.

But I'm not talking about thousands of lines of copied elisp. I'm thinking about molding your editor to fit your needs. Here's an example:

We use hosted Gitlab at work. I like to highlight a line in my editor, call a command in the editor and get a URL for that line in that file in that branch on our internally hosted Gitlab server (with a custom path segment prefix). This is literally maybe ~40 lines lines of very compact elisp in a global configuration file. It would probably be less in JS because I'm better at JS than elisp. It's very specific to my circumstances and doesn't really need to be generalized to anyone else.

There are ~5 different plugins in the marketplace that purport to do this, but none of them fit my use case. Which is fine, I can do this myself...

However to do this vscode I have to create an extension, edit the package.json to register the command and few other things (this is tedious, believe me), re-read/remember the plugin API, re-read/remember how to build vsix files for production, install that plugin with the command line tools, reload vscode.

If I need to make a change, do it all again. But there is no reason that the Emacs behavior couldn't be included in vscode. And maybe some day it will. But the idea that not having it and claiming that is a _feature_ or (as others have done) claim that emacs is losing to vscode in configurability misses the multitude of use cases that emacs users have benefited from for decades.

As far as testing and code quality goes, I can't really argue with that but neither can vscode users? Do you know what all your plugins are doing in the background? All of these centralized plugin repositories are significant attack vectors. Which language do you think the first big own will be written in?
A concrete example: a company might offer two ways of doing things:

- an "old way", which is more expensive, but more easily understood by sales and gives them more commission because it's base price is more expensive

- a "new way", which while cheaper and better from a "meta" business standpoint, doesn't bring in as much for an established sales person, because the overall sale would be smaller, and on top of that, they have to make the effort to understand how to sell the new way.

I've seen several higher-quality products get choked out because of this pattern happening, and sales being accidentally-incentivized to keep people in the old, pricier way of doing things.
Which interestingly means that although we all agree we should pretty much panic and react accordingly in the event of such an emergency, it's best for people not to anticipate such panic until absolutely necessary. And this implies we ought to trust others to come up with contingency plan for us, since we ourselves shouldn't think about it for now.
Interesting to think about it from this perspective. Just off the top, I wonder if we could have a second level. Then each "Advocate" (just picking a word) that represents 10K people would then be the constituency for the representative. This is a model like the Rep is the CEO and the Advocates are the C suite. The Advocates never go to DC or the state capital, then only remain local. Then to make things simpler and cleaner, outlaw lobbying at the Rep level and make the Rep elected by most votes among the Advocates. Now to get a quorum on the Rep or an issue, lobbyists have to try to convince a majority of the Advocates. Hopefully this increases the cost and decreases the payoff. It could also be that the role of the representative is to just help with the negotiations and wrangling for the bills but doesn't actually get to vote. The act as a Super-Advocate based on the position of the majority of their Advocates and in the end, the must cast their vote on a bill based on a sub-vote of their advocates.

Don't take the above too seriously, I'm sure there are holes. Just a thought experiment in my brain right now.
The Musical Diversity of Pop Songs
Yeah, 10.13.5 is the accompanying update in many ways (kind of odd they didn't just release them in total sync), Messages in iCloud needs it for example.

Also, looks like this update contains some mitigation efforts by Apple towards S/MIME exfiltration out of Mail.app, though the CVE they cite doesn't match what I remember Efail's being [1] so I'd be curious if it has any effect on that one, even if the existing S/MIME has fundamental flaws that can't really be patched. This also prompted me to go take a look on the GPG side of things, there is no native support of course so most people are probably using GPGMail if they aren't using an alternative mail application. They still haven't released GPG Suite 2018.2 however, so the only mitigation remains no loading of remote content.

This article also covers security patches for 10.11/10.12 and there are some important ones there. Noteworthy is some more Spectre fallout with Apple getting out patches for both 10.11 and 10.12 covering CVE-2018-8897. I think most OS got that patched earlier in May (I know DragonFly BSD had that dealt with on the 9th), but it's better then nothing that Apple is continuing its informal couple of years of security patches for macOS. There are plenty of people who've avoided High Sierra too so it matters even more.

The fact is that GDPR defines 6 bases for data processing, therefore consent is not always required. But I think you just missed a part where I wrote: "they claim" ;).

And I agree with you. Something quite simple like consent is very misunderstood. Something so vague as legitimate interest is bound to be misunderstood.

I was actually looking for some analysis of "legitimate interest" because I have no idea how to apply it in practice, but I couldn't find anything. So yeah, thanks for the link :).

I concur and would like to add that this view of data collection has become common only because of the slew of breaches. Hackers leaking massive customer databases has forced companies to review their collection policies because they don't want to deal with the fallout, technically, politically and otherwise. This is true of the hacker ethos, using radical, often criminal behavior to point out glaring flaws that others become complacent with. Of course, these days that goal is secondary if it is considered at all, to the goal of financial gain and that's a damn shame.

Show HN: Chrome extension to open both link and discussion in new tabs on HN
I don't buy this line for one minute. The fact that these organizations are either too weak or incompetent to roll out difficult changes in no way means it can't be done. This is just the path of least resistance. Rather than design something good, we just slap a layer of crap on top of another layer of crap and call it an improvement. But dressing up a turd doesn't make it smell like roses.

The fact is that half (if not more) of the world depends on Google, Mozilla and CloudFlare. If they actually committed to breaking networks with a new standard, the vendors and network admins would have no choice but to slowly but surely roll out fixes, because the users need it. Maybe they should actually roll out a product that would update networks to fit an application's needs, like Kubernetes for SDN.

This feature is literally "Oh, we're having problems with DNS, but changing the protocol could be hard, so let's hide a new version of it inside some other protocol." They should stop screwing around and just release a Google Chrome VPN, which you just know they're going to release. AMP was just the amuse bouche.

Let's be real here, an advertising company does not care about privacy. Chrome implemented DNS over HTTPS a long time ago because it was a technical fix for a browser issue, not for privacy. Mozilla was slow to adopt but it got on the bandwagon. And let's not pretend that "hiding" a port number is a security feature, security by obscurity is a joke.
The paid API was just to handle the search of the company database (couldn't change that for political reasons).

Sorry, I was imprecise. I did not mean it would be better to use conventional aircraft. I meant to claim that it would be better to use a human with a gun to do the assassination - at least when operating in an area with potential for civilian casualties. Use of heavy ordnance in an area with civilians should have no excuses if there is the alternative to use human operators.

I don't care how far up the rank of Isis or Al Kaida the person targeted is. Risking civilian casualties should not be acceptable.

A combat in a war and an assassination are two different things - I was condidering an assassination which by nature should be fine grained.

It seriously annoys me how major publications have editorial content on their main domain, on their main site, with the same template. Sure, it says "editorial" below the headline, but at first glance it looks like news. Washington Post, NYT, etc all put the full weight of their name behind content that's literally just a random blog from some random person with no fact-checking.

If I see a headline on HN or Reddit or Facebook that says "'Giant Meteor Likely to Impact Earth' - NYTimes.com", how do I know if that's an impending disaster or just someone saying "NASA says it's theoretically possible"? The only way is to click the article and look for the "editorial" line, at which point the newspaper has already won.

>One major reason for me to use Emacs and not newer software is that it is not only cross-platform but also gives some confidence that I will be able to use it in twenty years from now on a new platform.

You're ignoring the first half of the sentence:

BBEdit - not on Linux

Notepad++ - not cross platform

Textmate - not cross platform

Sublime - cross platform - but can I see the source? If not, I have little faith it will be around in 20 years.

My (heavily customized) Emacs environment on Windows gives me the same experience as in Linux. No warts at all.
