"No autocomplete" and "doesn't show available functions" are a matter of bad defaults, rather than lack of capability. There are great packages for them available, but even in core, there are OK options (ido-mode). I do wish that the core team would "bless" great packages and work towards bringing them into core and into the defaults.

"Our discovery, or rediscovery, that around 2-3% of the population, with aphantasia, lack a mind’s eye, and that a somewhat larger percentage, with hyperphantasia, have imagery that is ‘as vivid as real seeing’ has captured huge public interest, and led to a sustained surge of citizen science. We have been astonished – and delighted – to receive over 14,000 contacts from members of the public with extreme imagery since coining the terms in 2015."[1]

> ‘as vivid as real seeing’

I can only take others' word for it, but why would I disbelieve this? Especially when I myself have the other extreme of nothingness? Why would so many people lie or exaggerate about seeing mental imagery "as vivid as real seeing"?

> study for their weekly spelling tests for 10 minutes a day

Aside: Spending 1.5+ hours per week between home and school studying spelling per se in the way students typically study spelling is an outrageous waste of time.

Arguably studying spelling per se is a waste of time in any quantity (as compared to spending that time on intrinsically motivated reading and writing, and learning how to spell as a side effect), but anyone who cares enough about this to devote hundreds of hours to it should set up some kind of spaced repetition system.
Probably a pun on autodidact. I first read it as "co did act", but once I saw the tag line it clicked.

> but no matter what, you will never be as fast or flexible as an F1 car (GNU Emacs).

The massive flaw in your analogy being that Emacs has more to do with an old and crumbling collection racing car than a F1. Its users constantly need to tinker it to make it somewhat run like a normal car. It’s still slower and less ergonomic but they are blinded by their love and habit to its obvious flaws.

The amount of IDE and editors that just work well with little customisation and have great refactoring features is now so high, it leaves little place for emacs.
All right. I don't believe I am "lying" or being dishonest, but point taken.

I suppose the difference between us is that you care a lot less about this topic and thus aren't constantly bombarded with extreme claims and things such as being called a genocide denier, while for me the topic directly affects the lives of my family.

Your head is in the right place. Use whatever you think is going to be the most maintainable by your successor. Only you can make the right decision. Every ecosystem has warts, there are no silver bullets.
Completely agree. My point is that having things broken down and built up gradually (aka procedural) is a better approach than one shot declarations.

Using your loose definition of "state actor" means that every single person who uses mainstream cloud solutions has "state actor" as a threat, whether they acknowledge it or not. It's not just the occasional person super focused on security as you're making it out to be - in fact people less in touch with security have a larger threat from their system being hijacked and used to distribute contraband bits, thereby running afoul of cloud scanning.

> I was totally converted on the cause...

Then you only understood a part of what he was trying to say, because CO2 is a necessary precursor for plant life and can be mitigated with rather effective methods which we fail to do at scale; what is a more critical green house gas (there are others like) is Methane, which is a natural byproduct from decomposing organic matter and has been sequestered and utilized for decades but due to short term thinking have been either allowed to dissipate into the atmosphere, or simply burned off as the costs to bring to market have been untenable.

Reducing consumption habits on all levels, applying more sustainable approaches to what must be consumed and the re-utilization of previous waste materials is the real take away here because short of that it doesn't make a difference to simply focus on C02. Which seems to be where most have been focused on, and despite being a fan of Tesla, and simply pivoting from one dirty industry to a slightly less dirty one is simply not enough--it's a step in the right direction but not a standalone solution.

Sidenote: There are more trees now in N. Hemisphere than there was 100 years ago [0], and with a superficial understanding of ecosystems the C02 levels were a non-trivial contributor for the plant life to do so alongside stricter regulation.

Emacs is my daily driver for work lately.

Oddly enough I don't use it for code editing as much as I do for reading (TAGS navigation is great!)

But, for a lisp environment - it's outstanding! I use it to do complex Jira queries (jiralib2), and have even used the source to jiralib2 as inspiration for writing my own RESTful connectivity to two other proprietary in-house systems.

Then I cross reference them, to find out what stuff needs my attention immediately. There's no amount of email notifications, or slack bot popups that can replace what I'm doing for my workflows every day that I can get done in Emacs right now.

Basically I create a lisp-interaction mode document, and treat my lisp expressions like things I can expand in a report by C-j'ing them. Then I've got keyboard shortcuts to open things in brower tabs using eww's functionality.

I did a demo video for a few coworkers and folks who'd strayed from Emacs are starting to think about coming back to it again.

I started kicking around the idea of building this out again in Racket, just to learn Racket, but it's a distraction from the system that's working great for me right now.

My compile, test, edit cycle is now driven mostly by the Acme editor which makes it easy for me to script connecting to remote systems, issue builds, find failures, and jump to the line of code where things break while I'm working. I haven't found a way to go faster than this.

Perhaps VS Code could replace some of this, but I just don't have the time (or perhaps the gumption) to give it a try honestly. Maybe I'm just having too much fun...
But is the intent to disrupt the train? No, it's to hold it long enough to get on board. The law is written such that you'd have to want to disrupt the service for nefarious reasons, not to board it.

I was thinking more along the lines of replicating the Ring (or other proprietary cloud-based doorbell), which means even if you go through all the effort of configuring Asterisk and have a static IP you'll be exposing Asterisk to the internet which I don't feel too comfortable considering it's a huge pile of legacy C code, or otherwise you'll need to put a VPN gateway in front (and have the mobile client VPN into it) which is even more work.
Helium is absolutely more humane.

I don't know exact details, but because of the chemical structure of helium, it binds to red blood blood cells without causing the body panic, like CO2 and others would.

Your brain doesn't stay conscious too long without oxygen, so it's pretty quick once you start breathing it in.

I've heard this argument before, but is there any reason to believe it? What exactly about diversity stops social programs from working?

Also, if diversity is the problem (hypothetically) why can't we implement Swedish/Japanese/Taiwanese stuff in those American towns with no diversity?

Without any more explanation this sounds like one of those things where you find two statistics about two countries and say "this explains the difference."

In my experience, corporate landlords are inflexible as you mention. They also raise prices consistently.

But at least they repair stuff. Whenever I had a system break my corporate landlords sent somebody over that day without question. With individuals I’ve had to pull teeth to get even critical maintenance done.
Too car friendly for my taste and I don’t get why people drive so much.

Stockholm is small enough that it’s walkable with fast public transport connecting everything.

I don’t think it ever took me over 30 minutes to get anywhere, none of my friends drive in town but over half of them own a car so we are often traveling north for skiing, south for the summer, weekends in someone’s parent’s farm, but I have no recent memory of driving around town, there’s just no need, plus, no drinking, so it’s a nonstarter.
> it should be via firing squad, which is honest about what is happening

Why not hanging? Or beheading? Those seem pretty honest to me.
“Make it sustainable” was the part it took me a long time to realize - in my 20s I’d pull all nighters to finish things. When I got older, started a family, and worked on projects that take months or years, I’d still approach it like a sprint - I’m talking multiple times going a month of less than 2 hrs of sleep most nights, full nights sleep once a week, 5 years of working Saturday and Sunday.

Now I spend time with friends and family, treat weekends as sacred, and though I still don’t get as much sleep as I should, I get way more done than blindly putting in the hours.

People warned me of it and I didn’t listen, as I’m sure whoever needs to hear this won’t listen either, but 100%, treat it like a marathon and take care of your life holistically.
> Presumably the people renting the housing would have bought it themselves if they had the financial resources to do so

It's actually quite the opposite. By literal definition, every renter that's paying their rent can already afford the housing they currently occupy, because every renter is already paying for (their entire unit) as well as (all cost of maintenance) and (some extra profit for the landlord)

So by definition, every renter is always already paying more than it would cost to own, operate, and maintain their unit. Every renter on the planet (who isn't like, behind on rent) has already proven they have the financial resources to own their unit.

> So what would they do without a landlord?

Save money every month. (By the exact amount of profit the landlord currently makes).
Feel like I need a plan to make the plan to do the side project.
Haven't worked at these places, but heavy +1 to "take work-life balance over and above anything". Currently, I've realized I'm willing to take about a $50k pay cut for better work life balance, and I can only put up with bad balance for about two weeks. When I was younger, I'd put up with all kinds of shit, but now it's never worth it.
Same here. Loved my years at Netflix. Great colleagues building robust systems and management is there to help.

Essentially we're doing same thing. But we build Jitsu to be as simple as possible: you don't need to setup multiple services (just one Docker service!), data goes to DWH almost instantly. And we can pull data from more that 100 external APIs

Think of us as Snowplow 2.0 )
Disclaimer: Haven't looked at Jitsu in depth so my understanding below may be limited.

Reading through their comment below - "Jitsu can be used for any kind of data while Segment compatibility is just a thin layer on top".

I am guessing they have built a generic event API that can be used to send any JSON payload while RudderStack (like Segment) has a opinionated view of events - e.g. there has to be a userID (or anonymousID), that ID is persisted in a cookie (for web), every event must include that userID. Furthermore, there are certain standard for event tracking for specific verticals which RudderStack supports (e.g eCommerce https://rudderstack.com/docs/rudderstack-api/api-specificati...)

Having this opinionated view helps us map these events to all the 100s of destinations, otherwise, you cannot send any arbitrary JSON to these destinations. It also lets us build more post processing in the warehouse (e.g identity stitching, user sessions etc https://hub.getdbt.com/rudderlabs/, we are going to build more MLish applications like churn-models and release them too).

On the other hand, it becomes hard to send generic events (e.g. application telemetry) via RudderStack which seems possible via Jitsu. With RudderStack, you would have to create hacky userID to tag on every event which doesn't make sense.

In summary, go deep on one use case (customer-data) or wide as a generic event streaming platform.

Beyond this, there are other feature differences (transformation, reverse-ETL etc) but that's not a fundamental difference imo. They are just getting started and are a much smaller team so that's expected. Impressive to see what they have built.
It's good to see this, especially on the "Intel 7" process node. However, this is in a desktop form factor that can draw ridiculous amounts of power when needed too. In the Dave2D video [1], he shows how in a CPU limited benchmark like Cinebench his system drew 238W vs. 138W for AMD 5950X. It was more reasonable for his "gaming" category where the 5950X drew more power than the 12900K (121W vs. 110W). Also interesting how OEMs like Dell failed to spec the right cooling for this chip and throttle.

Once I would have used this, but I can't just can't bring myself to trust forks by small or unknown teams. We trust browsers with passwords to everything in our lives, like our bank details. The FAQ doesn't even cover who created LibreWolf. Why should I trust them?

Even if I do trust the developers, are they really capable of keeping a modern complex browser secure in the hostile environment of todays internet? It has millions of lines of code in multiple languages with a history going back 2 decades. I can't find:

- who is responsible for the project security

- their CVE policies

- policies for back porting Firefox patches etc

- update schedules

They also removed the auto-updater which is critical to ensuring browsers get the latest patches.

I'm really skeptical about the (undocumented) "hundreds of privacy/security/performance settings and patches" they claim to have implemented. What exactly cannot be achieved through settings and addons?
no, it is ignoring a communcation service that probably (acording to market share) half of your contacts cannot use

Some universities in the US have apartments instead of dorms at least. I went to UT Dallas (graduated 2007), where they have apartments. Freshman apartments are 4-bedroom units with each student getting their own bedroom (and pairs of students sharing a bathroom), and apartments available to others are mostly 1-2 bedroom units (with each student getting their own bathroom) with a few 4-bedroom units scattered around.

With that said, I did hear that after I graduated they added dorms for freshmen, but I also heard that the dorms all had single rooms, with the only difference between the dorms and the apartments was that the dorms had communal bathrooms.

For what it's worth, I would not have gone to any school where I would've had to share a bedroom. I'm an intensely private person, and if I couldn't go to college anywhere I wouldn't have to share a bedroom I'd just have entered the workforce at 18 and continued living with my parents till I could afford to move out.

Modularity exists but it's not made explicit. I need to mentally track the level of nesting, column number, suffixes (*+?) etc. If the structure was made explicit, it would be a lot more readable. And expressing the composition gradually, bottom up, comes very close to the procedural specification.
I still don't see a downside.

If I know I am a better employee than you, and you make that much more, if I am unwilling to do anything about it but grumble, that's a personal problem. I would argue that anyone who is willing to stay in a shit situation without trying to remedy said situation (being underpaid and knowing it for a fact) sort of brought those problems on themselves. It's a problem to complain about only if you have tried to fix it and couldn't.

Systematically, it would allow people to see which businesses pay best, where their particular skills would be best reimbursed. Therefore, anyone in that shit situation who wants to grumble would have even more information available to them to be able to shop for jobs.

I still don't see a downside.
I think it’s good to be involved but an app that passes information to the parent, essentially bypassing the child, is disempowering to the child. The child should know and be able to tell you she has a math test. If she is not good at managing that sort of thing, then she needs to get better. Using an app to circumvent the child’s own management of that stuff is at least similar to micromanaging.
Yes, I love this one. Great movie.
Some years ago I stumbled upon an "old" documentary on the Voyager missions, from the 80s or 90s I think. It covered the work done on orbit mechanics in the early 70s, the realisation that in a couple of years time there'd be a once in a generation window to send a probe to visit all the planets in the outer solar system, and the political and engineering challenges that had to be overcome to make it happen. It really clarified what an incredible achievement the whole project was, and is by far the most thrilling and inspirational documentary I've ever watched. Sadly can't remember what it was called. I've looked on youtube, there are other voyager documentaries on there, but not this one.
