I agree that some communication from the TeXmacs developers to the Fedora ones would be helpful (I documented myself, Fedora is using Guile 2 and still supporting 1.8 with a compatibility package). (More about the Scheme in TeXmacs later).
Said this, I think the angle from which you are looking at the software is too narrow. A better angle is to look at the realized potential of the TeXmacs document preparation system: it does everything one could wish for. With "everything" I am exaggerating a little :-)

More in detail (I refer to [1] for a complete discussion):

1) It makes structured editing possible (and that is its main mode of operation). So if you want to mark your text with "semantic" markup you can do that, and in fact that is what using the software leads you to do.

2) It is controllable via programs

3) It has advanced typography (including mathematical formulae at the necessary level for professional mathematicians, as far as I can see), and it is pleasant and easy to work with: you can concentrate on writing, letting the program take care of the visual appearance and you do not need to interpret the sources while you are editing, to figure out where is the text that you want to edit

4) It has user-definable keyboard shortcuts that further help entering structured text

... and I feel it is enough for a short list of the features.

Back to Scheme. The development team is debating on which Scheme to use for the future of TeXmacs, and the debate is taking time. Here are some experiments [2],[3].
The current software (with Guile 1.8) works smoothly, with full functionality. For Linux installation, I chose the static binary they provide ... because on Ubuntu I don't have Guile 1.8 ;-)

I'm not the person you originally asked, but I can give my experience.

I was diagnosed with ADHD-inattentive last December, so I've been on a very low dose of what I'm told is basically just timed-release adderall for about 4 months.

So far it's been positive. I find it helps me change contexts more easily and not bounce off of the new context and revert to phone scrolling. It helps me get over that activation hump more easily I think as well. One effect that I didn't anticipate is since I started on it I find I sleep better, wake up groggy less, and have an easier time getting out of bed in the morning.

That's probably partly related to this: I had to cut out caffeine almost entirely because it would make my heart race. If I want coffee I can have decaf that seems ok. I can have a mug of tea but if I have two my heart is pounding. Same with soda. I used to drink a can of diet coke a day. There is caffeine free diet coke too which I have but I find I drink it much less frequently.

The heart racing has been the only negative side effect I've noticed and cutting out caffeine has fixed it so overall that's probably for the best.

Sorry for the snark before. I don't actually know if Adderall is prescribed anymore, it might be. When I was looking for advice on how to approach a doctor about a possible ADHD diagnosis as an adult one of the things I was told was "don't mention medication, especially not Adderall, they might think you're drug seeking. Focus on the diagnosis first, then treatment". So I reacted poorly. Sorry again.

Emotional bonding can be a survival instinct. If your dog has built a psychology (for lack of a better word) that leads it to mirror your family's behavior in appropriate ways, you're probably more likely to keep it (on the margins).
Remember though that as you approach the speed of light, relativity starts to kick in with your time "slowing down". In other words, the inverse relationship between speed and time could allow civilizations to expand faster than it would seem possible at "normal time" speeds.

> Asians countries are booming since their economy wasn't affected because the stringent lock downs controlled the virus.

This is an exaggeration, at best. There may have been countries that grew in the latter part of 2020, but to characterize these as "booming" is misleading.

Japan had its first economic contraction since 2009 (down 4.8% over 2019). They've been flirting with deflation throughout 2020. And they're one of the countries with the lightest responses.

https://www.bbc.com/news/business-56066065#:~:text=Japan's%2....

Developing countries in Asia are no better off:

"ADB said GDP in developing Asia will contract 0.7% this year and three-fourths of the region’s economies are set to register negative growth for 2020. That includes countries like Singapore, Thailand, India and the Philippines. China, where the coronavirus outbreak was first reported in late-December, is the only country that is expected to register a positive growth, albeit far below normal levels of growth."

Some people just capture the imagination and she was one. I'm not sure what it was about her. It wasn't just that she was a woman and a very fast driver, which are both abundantly true. She was a great ambassador for motorsport in general and almost a mythical, legendary presence at the Ring.

She apparently ran a bed and breakfast near the track with her husband after her hardcore professional racing career was over and by all accounts she was an absolute treasure to stay and socialize with if you were staying in the area.

I remember reading about Discord hitting 5 million concurrent users back in 2017.

It would be really interesting to compare the current scale of the two offerings, in terms of peak concurrent users, hardware needed and engineering team size.

Uh, I did not think that far. So if the vaccination is responsible for the deaths, it almost killed half the number of women below 50 that COVID has since March 2020. Fucking hell, and people outside Norway complain that the governmend is taking action? (EDIT: only one death, not three)
There's an extended release version of Adderall, but also even instant release Adderall is still quite common to prescribe. Compared to other psychiatric drugs discovered in the same time frame, Adderall is remarkably effective, and I think this is reflected in the relatively small amount of research that has subsequently gone into ADHD treatment. There's also of course a market of people looking for Adderall IR prescription to help them study or work.

I can only really speak to what I've seen working at a hospital in the northeast US, but it seems that as of 2018 amphetamine was the most prescribed drug type for ADHD across the country, and actually going up: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6261411/#!po=21...
>Only because Flash eventually also ended up sucking too bad (on mobile) did we get the Javascript revolution.

If "mobile" means the Apple iPhone release in 2007 not supporting Flash, I disagree.

The Javascript revolution for serious apps was arguably started by ~2000 Microsoft's XMLHttpRequest() api which other other browsers like Netscape immediately copied. This started the AJAX dynamic web page era ~7 years before 2007. When retrieving new data for a webpage is no longer tied to a user refreshing with F5 key or a HTML form submit() button, it enables a more desktop-like paradigm of apps such as:

- 2000 MS Outlook for Web

- 2004 Google Maps, Google GMail

- 2005/2006 Google Docs & Google Sheets (acquisitions)

These were the type of groundbreaking Javascript apps that convinced many that the often-dismissed "toy language" was viable for complex work. The later innovations such as 2009 Node.js runtime on the server side and 2008 V8 performance optimized js engine in Chrome just further cemented Javascript's domination. The Javascript mindshare momentum was already unstoppable long before Steve Job's declared that Flash sucked.
But surely that's a result of at least some restrictions? Lockdown and limited travel can't really be a solution forever - whereas vaccines probably are.
> Norway has also had at least three serious cases with 130.000 people vaccinated, so the incidence is certainly higher than 1 per 2.3 million.

That's not how numbers work. You can't look at California, for example, and conclude that because 63% of voters chose Biden, his national vote share is certainly higher than 52%.

Most well known is probably narcolepsy induced by Pandermix flu vaccine. [1] But in my understanding any vaccine can have side effects. When my kids get vaccinated I always have to sign a paper stating that I understand the risks of possible seizures, blood cloths, sudden death, etc. Even thou I understand that risks are very small it's always hard to read and sign something like that.

Notion seems to be focused on wiki and notes, with built in structured data allowing you to setup things like boards and task lists.

This seems to just be the boards and task lists without the free form notes and wiki? It pretty clearly replaces Trello and Asana. Notion seems like a stretch from the 5 minutes I poked around in it.

ngen has existed since .Net 2.0, as has the GAC.

So if you're targeting .Net 1.0 this "PSA" is impactful, otherwise, it isn't really accurate. It could hypothetically apply if you created a new .Net process each execution (thus invalidating the GAC) but even then you could just add ngen to your build/deployment process.

I'm not sure that's true. While you don't end up with lightspeed expansion, if you get to the point that you have the tech to live on an "iceball" by extracting the hydrogen and fusing it for energy, and can make the rest of what you need from raw atoms and energy, you can just sort of... keep expanding out into the oort cloud indefinitely, until after a while, you're not in the solar system anymore, and even more eventually, you're in another one. The more we learn the less empty interstellar space looks.

That's certainly slow expansion, but it would be an expansion that in relatively short order would greatly exceed the biomass and biodiversity of Earth's biosphere, until it would be quite absurd that the whole thing would simultaneously decide to just stop one day. It would be slow but as difficult to stop as the biosphere is today.

This does depend on some sort of practical fusion tech, though.
> At least 40 people were killed during martial law, and over 10000 interned. Dozens of people were murdered by security forces in the previous years too. Reducing that to "some deaths" just feels tone-deaf.

Look, the state killing off its people is always bad, yes. What's tone-deaf, though, is equaling dozens of deaths, or even hundreds of deaths, with this (China):

> Estimates of the death toll in Cultural Revolution, including civilians and Red Guards, vary greatly, ranging from hundreds of thousands to 20 million.

This (Ukraine/Soviet Union):

> By the end of 1933, millions of people had starved to death or otherwise died unnaturally in the Soviet republics. Total population loss (including stillbirth) across the union is estimated at 6–7 million.

This (Cambodia):

> According to a 2001 academic source, the most widely accepted estimates of excess deaths under the Khmer Rouge range from 1.5 million to 2 million, although figures as low as 1 million and as high as 3 million have been cited; conventionally accepted estimates of executions range from 500,000 to 1 million, "a third to one half of excess mortality during the period".

and so on, and on, and on.

> This is widely disputed,

Which is why I wrote "arguably".

> whitewashing totalitarian regime because they didn't kill enough people to classify as mass killing isn't solution either

I'm not whitewashing anything. I'm saying that, as far as authoritarian regimes this side of the Iron Courtain go, PRL was relatively peaceful, killed off relatively small amount of people, and - on the other hand - improved living conditions of a relatively large percentage of the population.

As I said many times at this point: when the power goes unchecked, it will be abused. It was also true in the PRL. But there is a spectrum of how bad it gets, and on that spectrum Poland was possibly one of the easiests places to live in the whole Eastern Bloc. Ignoring this is not "being true to historical facts", it's just blatantly pushing an agenda.
America's Cup: When mathematics is plain sailing
"In the ocean waters off New Zealand, an intense mathematical olympiad has just begun: The America's Cup. What's that you say, isn't that a yacht race? Yes it is. Indeed, it's the premier international event in ocean sailing. Competition is fierce. The technical challenges are enormous. And the costs are huge, with teams spending up to $15 million on the design and construction of a single boat.

The mathematics comes in because it can provide the crucial innovation that can mark the difference between winning and losing. John Marshall, who has been designing America's Cup boats for over twenty years, lays it on the line: 'This sport [America's Cup racing] would not be possible today without mathematics.' He explains: 'To cross the line first, a boat must be skippered by a strategic genius, and the crew must be honed to a finely tuned machine. But the best skipper and crew can't compete successfully without a winning boat.'"

“By posting the results online I’m ‘less’ likely to throw down a big pile of ass-shit,” the artist explains of the impetus behind the daily creative exercise on his website, “even though most of the time I still do because I suck ass.”

Whether or not Beeple actually believes his work is bad isn’t the only problem I have with the artist. This kind of two faced self-depreciation is nauseating, especially coming from someone with access to extremely expensive design tools that most only dream of wielding. 3D modeling software like Cinema 4K is as pricey as the name implies. And yet Beeple comes online each day, acting like he’s an amateur, hat in hand, “god I’m such trash!”

I understand that art shouldn’t be solely be judged by the medium. It’s just that young artists see this kind of high fidelity output and get the impression that their art must be even worse if this isn’t good enough. IMO the only thing amateur about Beeple is his attitude.

...I was talking about social cohesion.

War isn't evidence of a lack of social cohesion?

You'd have to have a very peculiar definition of inequality to say that it has gone up.

Measuring inequality by the ratio of the richest to the poorest doesn't seem like such a peculiar metric.

More importantly, there is much more equality in terms of political power and ability to influence change...

Is there? Less than 1% of the world's population holds more wealth than the bottom 50%. With that wealth comes not only economic power, but political power.

You seem very fixated on the idea that the existence of a middle class automatically means there is equality. But if that "middle class" steadily falls behind the wealthy, how long before it becomes just another tier of the lower class? https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2018/09/06/the-america...

Your argument seems to be that oppression by a small elite is the only possible form of social order, a rather pessimistic and dystopian view. In that case, I guess we can look forward to a long period of peace, because inequality is rising rapidly around the world. The upper class is leaving the middle class in the dust.

But perhaps you're wrong. Maybe revolutions happen when the economic distance between the upper class and the middle class threatens to become too great, when the middle begins to feel insecure.

Is it possible to bootstrap a consumer startup in the same way as a B2B SaaS? Seems a lot harder, given that revenue from day one is not easy.
Hi folks! We are building GitDuck (YC S20) to help software teams talk and collaborate. When we think about the how teams interact (and when we look at how we work as a team), it is normal that many of our interactions consists of showing something and talking about it. We could be sharing the code, a drawing and a lot of times we are sharing a website.

Traditional screen sharing was one way of doing this. Sharing 60 frames of your screen per second and allowing your team to see it. The screen resolution was a problem, because if we had a bad connection, the image quality could reduce.

Another problem was the lack of interactivity and that was too annoying to ignore. Come one, it's 2021 and why were we still doing screen sharing the same way we did in the mid-2000s?

People need to narrate what their team should see ...

"Can you click on that button?"

"What button?"

"Wait, scroll back a little bit"

These tiny frictions build up and the flow of information slow. Screen sharing without interaction is like talking on a walkie-talkie instead of having a real-time conversation.

We want to be able to share any website and allow people to view and control it as if they had opened that website themselves. People can scroll, click on things, see everyone's cursors and even type. It is an interactive screen sharing experience.

What do you think? It would be great to hear your thoughts on this topic!
