I agree with what James Mickens has to say about this area of expertise. Usually the thinking is to expect that things mostly work (which is wrong) and that in case of an inconsistency sending another message could fix it (which more often than not is also wrong). In an unreliable environment a new message might not arrive and even if it does it might not contain any meaningful information for the receiver as he can't trust it, or can't put it into the context he already possesses. So in real life even in failure states it might sometimes be better to not send a message.

Therefore I wonder if there is another area of science, one that is not as optimistic, and for instance follows these system expectations:

- if you send a message, you cannot expect anybody to follow its content

- you cannot trust any messenger to begin with (but might gain trust over time)

- just because a messenger was there some time ago, doesn't mean the messenger is still there

- just because a message is signed by a messenger it doesn't necessarily already mean the message is from the messenger

- the messages contents might be a false interpretation of the system's state, or might not represent the current state of affairs, things might change between send and receive of a message

- errors are the architectural default case, success is a lucky coincidence (that of course must be exploited maximally)

- side note: leadership election might already need an amount of successful cooperation that is never achieved (i.e. multiple messages need to be exchanged and trusted successfully)

In some regards I feel TCP/IP is already thinking in the right direction. That's how the internet became so successful in the beginning. But it has the big fault (which also was a key factor in its growth) that it simply trusts stuff via default. Mistrust is an add-on.

So if anybody knows about people researching distributed system from that pessimistic but serenely-accepting perspective I would be really interested.
Reforms are generally intended as addressing overly generous social security programs, corruption, tax evasion.

Portugal and Spain (and Ireland) implemented some of these reforms and, lo and behold, a few years later are some of the fastest growing economies in the Eurozone.

Why Greece should be any different (as an Italian, why Italy as well?)
One of the best talks on the challenges of modern software development I've seen so far. It basically is a 30min briefing by Peter Norvig.

I don’t think it can truly use seaweed to sequester carbon unless we harvest the seaweed and entomb it underground - but it has to be somewhere the decomposition won’t leak carbon into the atmosphere.
They don't try to reproduce all the results in a paper, only a few "important results", more like a spot check. And it is supposed to be much cheaper since the methods have already been figured out...
Is there any reason you chose running on a VM as opposed to something like a RPi3?
> that also means once you have the keyboard shortcuts memorized, you can use them everywhere

That's half of the benefit.

The other half is, in Emacs things compose and interoperate. That fancy autocomplete plugin you just installed? It will work for suggesting e-mail addresses just as well as for suggesting function calls in code. Multiple cursors? Regex search-and-replace? Keyboard macros? They work everywhere, whether you're writing code, exploring the filesystem, composing e-mails or tweeting/tooting on Mastodon.

That's the reason many people, myself included, try to move as much of their workflow as possible into Emacs. The right thinking is this: Emacs is an application platform for everything that uses text (or can be made to use text), and has much better defaults and interoperability capabilities than your regular operating system.
I would certainly not call the iOS developer experience fantastic. Xcode lacks basic IDE code editing features. Compiling Swift is slow and still somewhat buggy. Interface builder is next to useless for building complex apps decomposed into reusable components. Provisioning and signing is not as bad as it used to be but you can still get off in the weeds for an hour fixing issues there.

It might be a better developer experience than Android overall but there is still a lot of room for improvement.

> So I have full faith life on Earth will eventually restore the feedback loops and get the temperatures back in the sweet spot.

Or just broadly adapt to the new state of things, historical data suggests that atmospheric CO2 levels did reach ~1000PPM up to the Cretaceous, with complete lack of continental ice sheets and temperate forests at the poles.

The current sweet spot is a sweet spot for us and the ecosystems we grew up in as a species, it's not a life-wide sweet spot.
Most of what I've read lately seems to indicate climate change can't be mitigated through societal restraint at this point. I think we need to seriously approach an engineered solution akin to terraforming. I'd love to know what efforts are being made in this direction.

This would be a great win-win! But wouldn't the sequestered CO2 get released back into the environment and potentially the atmosphere?
At work, I use Windows, and I use emacs all the time; it's among the first programs I start after logging in. On top of everything else, it has a builtin "shell" that is a reasonable approximation to a Unix shell.

Yeah, this is a valid point. But, you can also just keep something like uBlock installed and just disable it when using pi-hole and then enable it once you’re on something like a public network.

Well yes, I do believe we are in an oligarchy and not a democracy. But it's a different point, and would strike a debate that would not help with the main argument of my comment. So I just use the word "democracy" where most people expect it, otherwise, it gets complicated.
It's extreme economic shocks generally. As in sudden changes in economic conditions that lead to a rapid and pervasive decline in living conditions. It's clearly not any absolute level of poverty. The poverty level that will trigger war in Bangladesh is far lower than what would trigger war in the US. And a country at South Sudanese levels of poverty going to a slightly higher level of development (say Bangladeshi levels) wouldn't trigger conflict, even if they were still far worse off than levels that would trigger war in better off countries. But the absolute floor at which war (or widespread systemic violence and civil unrest at least) becomes almost inevitable is when people can no longer afford food. There have been a few studies that suggest a link between sudden increases in food prices and civil unrest and wars.

This even feels like it could be a quote from The Shock Doctrine by Naomi Klein. After reading that book it's hard not to start thinking that it was completely intentional.
That's true. In the eternal Vim vs. Emacs discussion, I found that preference is correlated to whether a particular person feels more like a ops/sysadmin, or more like a programmer. As you wrote, developers tend to work on a single machine, while sysadmins tend to jump between many machines.

I'm a developer, not a sysadmin, though I try to do most of my ops work via Tramp these days. I wish an actual sysadmin and Emacs user could chime in and say something about their workflow, and the problems they encounter.

> Devaluation risk is switched into bankruptcy risk

And for the inhabitants, this is a good thing. Look at Venezuela to see what happens when a country devalues its currency to pay its debts.

The situation would have been even better (for the Greek people) if the European Union hadn't permitted Greece to introduce capital controls (which negated some of the advantages of a currency not tied to the Greek economy).
>Well, the Greek government cooked the books in order to be allowed to join. This is clearly Greece's fault.

Yes and no.
Those reviewing those books (and originally allowing Greece to enter the Euro) were rather blind (selective or politically induced blindness).
Look at the history of Greece land register (https://www.reuters.com/article/eurozone-greece-cadastre/ins...). Or their huge issues with tax fraud and benefits cheating (e.g. The Isle of the Blind https://nationalpost.com/news/world/greece-zakyntos-island-o...)

It's not about becoming Germany, it's about being less dysfunctional. The root of all that is that Greece should never have been accepted in the EU in the first place (when e.g. Serbia will get in, it will be in much better shape than Greece ever was), but was anyway to kind of ensure they would not turn to the Warsaw pact...

iPhone X seems like a bunch of clever but costly gimmicks to fix a self inflicted problem. Instead of just moving the fingerprint sensor to the back of the phone they got rid of it entirely and replaced it with FaceID and this new gesture based interface. It's an impressive piece of technology but a step backward in UX overall.

I find my Pixel 2 XL more usable and reliable than my iPhone X and Project Fi has saved me countless hours sitting in phone shop offices waiting for SIM cards in every new country I visit. The UI may not be quite as snappy as my iPhone but I don't feel it really holds back my use of the device at all and battery life is actually better and it recharges faster.

I do think this new gesture stuff they added to Android P is kind of dumb though and seems like a cheap and failed effort to copy some buzz from Apple.

Yup. Remapping Caps Lock is kind of a shibboleth for Vim/Emacs users. Emacs users remap to CTRL; I hear Vim users remap to ESC.

Anyone suggesting this as a reason Greece would have been better off outside the EU is out of their mind. As poorly as the EU performed during the financial crisis, nearly every member of the EU was better off inside rather than outside. There is a reason Turkey is so keen to get into the EU even after the crisis.

Also, while it’s correct the British media has been using the mistakes the EU made during the financial crisis (which were the same as the mistakes the British made, who self-imposed austerity and continue to do so), the reality is none of these actually apply to the UK which has its own currency and as a result has/had dramatically more financial freedom.

The UK essentially had the best of the EU and had avoided the worst of it. It’s amazinf that they voluntarily gave up that deal.

I'm an Emacs user but I'm really surprised at the number of (presumably, as HN skews young) younger people here using vi or derivatives. Most younger people I know use neither vi nor emacs, using Sublime Text or an IDE or something, but vi seems much more alien to the modern worldview than Emacs, as it a modal editor, which has died out in all but vi-clones these days.

I must say, now that Google is buying people's credit card purchase history from third party data brokers, their behavior is much more creepy than just tracking your location.

>Google has been able to track your location using Google Maps for a long time. Since 2014, it has used that information to provide advertisers with information on how often people visit their stores. But store visits aren’t purchases, so, as Google said in a blog post on its new service for marketers, it has partnered with “third parties” that give them access to 70 percent of all credit and debit card purchases.

That's fine with me too, but doesn't cut it in a family environment. Further, some websites break with an adblocker, even when they don't have ads. E.g. Login with Facebook/Twitter, or some JS heavy sites which happen to have a bad keyword in the name of the file.

There is no reason to believe Greece was better off outside the EU. While they suffered from the ill effects of using the same currency as Germany, outside the EU they would probably have suffered from the much bigger Greek crisis, which is the absolute inability to collect taxes from the rich. Taxes that are on the books. It’s very likely that despite benefitting from the ability to devalue their currency, that benefit would have been overridden because of all the other structural issues The EU forced Greece to address.

I've never been in that situation. I think I seen recommendations where you should swim diagonally toward the shore rather than parallel, maybe that's the logic there. The thing is that there is an current toward the shore on either side of a rip, maybe you can sense the change in pull? Rips only go out so far before the water recirculates back to shore.

Any ideas how it could be better?

It has a built-in tutorial. It has thorough help. It welcomes you with instructions on getting help, as you noted yourself. There's plenty of guides and tutorials on-line, too. What else could it do to be more friendly, that would not involve sacrificing its productivity features?

Because it's not really gatekeeping - otherwise why would Emacs have so many, often annoying (myself included), evangelists? It's just about keeping the productivity ceiling high.
> "Add reprodicibility criteria for peer review."

Passing peer review is something used as a substitute for reproducibility. Just like testing a null hypothesis is a substitute for testing the research hypothesis, and citation count is used as a substitute for making precise and accurate predictions.
