I appreciate this sounds counterintuitive, but even in order to stay where it is, a company needs to grow. "Staying where you are" would mean to grow by at least as much as the current inflation rate - which in Feb 22 was 7.9% annualized in the US. Anything below that would be decline - and we're not even talking about fighting off competition, offsetting the dollar value against other currencies etc.
"Burnt-out" != "boring".
IMO, traveling and "going offline" for a while is the best way to get inspired life. It's a luxury tho.

A crucial difference is that Gibson hasn't the faintest idea about the actual technology - he wrote the early stuff on a typewriter - whereas Stephenson has a least a rudimentary understanding. For lots of readers this doesn't make any difference, but if you actually have some idea what's going on Gibson's approach interferes with the immersion more than Stephenson's.

This has some impact on predictive power too. One reason people tried to build the Young Lady's Illustrated Primer is that - more or less, you actually could imagine building that. My friend's daughter talks to the AI, and is learning to read stuff on a glowing screen that knows her name. She doesn't have an abusive step-father, and so fortunately her glowing screen won't need to teach her martial arts for people who are smaller and less powerful than their opponent, and about the importance of running away when there's no way to win. And hopefully her mother will remain a loving physical presence in her life. But the general thrust of the idea in the Primer makes sense, even if we aren't close to "really" building the Primer, ideas from Gibson don't make so much sense.
Ukraine Readies NFT Sales as Crypto Donations Top $60M
But NATO is already at russian border. Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania are NATO members since 2004.

Also, if russia annexes Ukraine (because, remember "Ukraine doesn't exist, they all just russians") then suddenly the number of NATO members that would share the border with Russia will include Poland and Hungary (members since 1999), Slovakia and Romania (members since 2004).

I don't think it works like that; it's not Risk.
Valid reasons... but definitely not "low-quality".

When we're talking about "transparency" here, we're talking about finding small percentage of samples that can be ABX'd by people who are specifically listening for artifacts. For plenty of source material, you get transparency with MP3.
The point of parent comment is that the consequences of having kids are not what they seem from the outside. Maybe your parent friends' experiences are vastly different from how you perceive them (or how they express them).

The idea that someone should (or could) avoid this, or conclude that it had something to do with being boring is strange to me. When you have "writer's block", you step away and stop trying to force it. When one creative outlet is exhausted, you find another one and bring your experience with you. To be perpetually fascinated by something that (mostly) does not change is not desirable and might be indicative of brain damage.

With 0 fiddling? not my experience at all. has something changed?

I use Emacs for lots of things, but I've long since changed to Pycharm for Python programming. That's been close to 0 fiddling for real. Its been pretty good for JS programming too.
Kubesimplify community is the best community for cloud native learnings. Saiyam Pathak (Head and founder of Kubesimplify) started this community to provide tremendous amount of content, guidance and support to the folks interested in cloud native world. His experience and expertise in the cloud native industry plays an important key role in the process. I'm always looking forward to learn collaborate and contribute via the Kubesimplify.
Does Emacs ship with LSP support out of the box? They've had a habit in the past of ignoring similar features that were arbitrarily perceived as "proprietary" or not open enough.

This kind of comment gives us emacs-users bad reputation. Emacs isn't perfect, dissing people that don't use it is not helping anyone.
I totally forgot about the 32/64 bit thing! I can't remember ever being concerned with it. I never used Windows beyond XP and switched to Linux full time around 2010 so I guess it didn't really affect me.
“Can't understand why websites choose serif fonts. I find long passages of text a chore to read when the font is serif.”

Reading books must be a problem, as most of those are set in serif type. The traditional view is that long passages are easier to read in serif fonts, but tastes vary, and there’s not a lot of good evidence for it. Personally, I find it to be true.

Are you reading on a blurry (dpi < 200) screen? That could be the problem.

> Is it highly likely to be the dominant, or even a common tool, in the future that solves those problems?
Doubtful; "easier-to-use" has always won against "can better solve problems". I see no evidence that this will change anytime soon.

The way you've framed the question is notable. The argument structure ignores a common pattern in software: tools steal ideas from each other often.

For example, MySQL is very different than its 2002 version. There are more database back ends with various guarantees and performance tradeoffs.
The obvious followup question that jumped to mind is "what's the difference between /bin and /sbin?".

Both contained files required to boot in single user mode, however /sbin contains executables not usually executed by normal users. sbin short for "System Binaries" maybe?
How do I go about learning emacs when my job requires me to work in a M$ environment, and I have limited free time? I tried learning and felt overwhelmed, and I would like to make strides to make vim or emacs my primary editors for home use, but Visual Studio / Jetbrains just make development incredibly easier to not let the tools prevent me from just writing the code.
The native compilation part is the highlight. Could someone who knows about these things explain the difficulty Debian has in getting emacs 28 in -unstable ? (currently on 27 according to https://packages.debian.org/unstable/emacs)
Fair, fair. A slightly more charitable take might be that flakes solve/streamline a set of problems that are particularly acute for power users, and installing multiple specific versions of software without needing to copy the definitions into your overlay is absolutely a power user move.
Kubesimplify is a great initiative for cloud native technologies. There are different programs rich in knowledge helping all the folks and the community is very supportive. It's been a life-changing experience for me.

A month ago, I started taking N-acetylcysteine (NAC) 600mg twice a day. My anxiety has reduced to about 10% of its previous intensity and frequency. This is the biggest quality-of-life improvement of my entire life. Maybe NAC will help you, too?

A few years ago, I had fatigue. My doctor tested my blood and found extremely low vitamin D. I started taking vitamin D3, magnesium glycinate, and vitamin B. My fatigue mostly disappeared about three weeks later.

About a year ago, I had brain fog. I took 75mg pure CBD (FreshBros.com gummies) every night for two weeks. The brain fog went away.

After taking caffeine or alcohol, I usually have increased anxiety the next day. Avoid these drugs.

After a 5-mile walk, my mood improves for a day or two. I listen to audio books to avoid ruminating. I enjoyed th Culture series by Iain M Banks. Downpour.com has a decent iOS app. Bose SoundSport bluetooth headphones are comfortable and practical. Darn Tough Merino Full Cushion socks are very comfortable and last 150 miles. I use a backpack to carry water, snack, sun hat, sweater, and rain jacket.

During the worst of the pandemic, I found it difficult to concentrate on work during the day. I added some very bright lights to my workspace. Afterward, I noticed a significant improvement in focus and mood. I use two IKEA floor lamps with FEIT PAR38 55W LED 5000-lumen bulbs illuminating the ceiling and wall around my monitor. I also use three FEIT OM200 25W 3000-lumen bulbs in a ceiling fixture.

I hope you find good solutions to your mood problems.
Hahaha, yep I can see how that would go wrong :')

> before I realised there was a change browser where I could discard that implementation.

Haha nice!

There's also a changes file.

I guess I have another recommendation: Pharo is not just about the image. When you click on an image folder there are other files. Try to figure out what they do and how you could use it to your advantage. Check out what the pharo-local folder does for example. The iceberg folder there, for example, directly hosts the .git folder. I've used it at times if I couldn't get whatever I wanted to do in Iceberg to work (e.g. adding a remote). The .sources file shows the changes that you have.
The font hinting there looks quite ugly when viewing this on Windows. The font has some very sharp and thick edges, it's not very smooth and comfortable to read. It's probably much better on macOS or somewhere HiDPI.

When I add `* { font-family: georgia!important }` and scale the page down to 75 %, then it's quite comfortable to read.
I said it was interesting, not-boring, and introducing me to more new people than I’ve met since college.

I didn’t say it was always easy, but that’s fine by me because it’s not actually soul-crushingly difficult (again, another misconception popular among young people without kids that turned out to be wrong).

The older I get, the more I realize that my friends who optimize for minimal effort (no kids, reluctant to leave the house, picky about what they attend) are gradually sliding into very boring and unfulfilled existences.
Dealing with hard links in the real world is a bit tricky. For example, "mv a b" is very different from "cat a > b". You have to do the equivalent of the latter in order to update a file in-place without updating every single hard link, which is problematic since writing to a file is not atomic the way an unlink+rename is. It's a bit of extra logic for the package manager to deal with, while a symlink is just a symlink.
> Read the North Korean News Agency sometime. The language isn’t much different than how the western media frames the Ukraine War. One sided, with a strong propaganda diction.

May as well just go ahead and believe North Korean propaganda at this rate. Maybe the world is covering up the truth. We haven't been there so we really can't know though (honestly).

You can go and watch Putin's speeches directly. He goes from saying it's to simply protect Russians in Donbass, to saying it's actually to stop NATO's expansion (countries should be free to choose their alliances--people ally with NATO because they don't want Russia invading their country, and invading their country only makes NATO seem more necessary), to saying it's really that Ukraine is entirely controlled by Nazis and needs to be de-nazified... by sending in the nazi Wagner mercenary group to kill a country run by a Jewish president who pretended to be gay on TV, to outright denying the historical existence of the Ukrainian people or their country and that it's just supposed to be Russian territory. All these speeches were in the span of literal days and show he just gave up on trying to hide his actual reasons.

You can completely ignore all western media if you like. You can completely assume all of what Ukraine says is absolute lies. All you need to do is listen to the words directly out of Putin's mouth and it's immediately obvious that it's the most transparent bullshit to justify a land grab that there ever was.
> Flags for currency mostly work

Do you think so?

Which flag would you use for euros? Obviously not the european union flag, since there are many countries inside the EU with a different currency (like Sweden or Poland) and even countries outside the EU whose currency is the euro (Montenegro, Kosovo, Andorra, ...).
it is a slightly unusual way to use that word yeah, even in terms of millitary usages "kinetic" munitions (those that work by throwing heavy things at high speed at a target, like bullets) are often directly opposed to "explosive" munitions (those that contain an explosive charge of some kind)

Context. Tolkien endured ww I and it’s horrors. When he wrote of returning to the world he left, he knew it was impossible IRL. That time had gone, never to return. One could argue that both Moorcock and Tolkien ended up with the same world, with the Elves and Dwarves being gone, Men as the only players and the spirit of technology (or Saruman reformed) diffused everywhere.

With politics, with VR, perhaps future people will look back on the Matrix as documentaries about the struggle with reactionary “realists” trying to disconnect people from the world. The world is too similar to the 1930’s and people should be frightened by that.

Personally (as I don't own a shop) I find it hard to understand from the landing page what it does exactly (maybe if I were in the target audience it would be more clear).

I assume that the "small" shops target are not the really small shops, as those rarely have multiple employees or a "team" that can place and deliver orders, as one person is in charge of everything.
I feel like two groups are talking over each other.

One is saying Twitter shouldn’t have done this and should be called out for breaking a promise.

The other group mostly agrees, but is pointing out that problem was giving Twitter so much control over one’s own content in the first place.

I agree with this: Banking on what’s nothing more than a handshake is a bad call.

Having to go to the court of public opinion is largely a failure, not the recourse of choice.

The commercial internet of today works this way, and it’s increasingly becoming fragile for it.
I love how my previous comment is downvoted with no answer by I assume bash and zsh fanboys when these kinds of features are barely used by users, because they can't be easily found.

Use something like fish to see what real feature discoverability for a shell looks like.

And I say this as a zsh user that has waded through the mountains of obscure documentation to set it up. Don't fall into Stockholm syndrome and think that if you went through hardship, others should, too.

99% of bash/zsh discussion threads are someone going: "here is awesome feature I found" (where frequently that feature is something that should have been painfully obvious to notice) and then 100 replies: "that's so cool and useful, I never knew about it and I've been using bash/zsh for N > 5 years".
The documentation is the biggest gap for sure. I've only been using Nix for about a year, and I'm using flakes exclusively. Although I don't have direct experience with the legacy system, I could definitely picture it being very frustrating managing inputs via the NIXPATH envvar rather than explicitly with flake locking.

What they are really saying is "It was fun (going to the bar/playing video games/whatever) with you when we were young, but I'm not young anymore and have a family to spend time with, I wish you had one too so I could invite you to family oriented activities." but knowing that you won't understand they say they are too busy and tired.
I'm going to assume this isn't trolling and if it is, you fooled me.

I've use Vim professionally, as well as VSCode and Jetbrains IDEs and dabbled in Emacs - the idea that one can replicate what IntelliJ does for Java for instance in any other IDE or text editor is to me, nonsensical. The amount of configuration it would require in vim/neovim/vscode to replicate the refactoring ability of IntelliJ alone would take you longer to setup than it would to code whatever project you're working on.

Saying that Vim or Emacs have "zero fiddling" compared to Jetbrains IDEs is a statement that is so vastly different to my experience (doing plenty of fiddling in both) that I would love to hear the backstory of how IDEs hurt you.

It sounds like they're putting in a bunch of their own money as well to reimburse people. I guess we'll only find out when they actually do that though if they are doing a full reimbursement.

I "quit" for more than 2 years now after the company I was working on went bankrupt. Meanwhile, I am working on my "start-up" project (that I have been working on for 8+ years, always keeping it as a side-thing).

I did apply to a few jobs (nothing really exciting) BUT having a side-project really scares away employers, they don't want someone that has multiple "things" on their mind (even though everyone does, be them start-up projects, hobbies, personal issues, etc.).
Maybe they couldn't agree on the frontend framework to use. Not entire companies, but I've seen projects fail because of this or some similar decision paralysis
Think it depends on the age of the children, right? Do you parents have very young children? Things get better once they are 5-6
I was an Emacs user back in my software writing days, but I thought I had left it behind when I became a lawyer. Over the past month or two however I’ve moved more and more of my workflow over to Emacs.

I started with using Org Mode and PDF tools for note taking and reviewing PDFs and task management: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30492373. More recently I switched my email over to mu4e: https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/mu4e. Unfortunately I can’t get it to interface properly with Office 365, which has heavily locked down POP/SMTP. So I used a couple of Power Automate flows to store incoming emails into a maildir format directory in OneDrive, which I then read from mu4e:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maildir. I also use Power Automate flows to grab my calendar and store it to Org files, and watch for queued emails and send send them. Power Automate is just about the worst programming environment ever devised, but because UNIX systems like RFC 2822 (email) and maildir are so simple it didn’t take much fiddling at all!

Ironically, writing a bit of glue to get everything into Emacs offers better integration between email, calendar, todos, and notes, than just using Office 365’s own tools. After trying a ton of web/electron based tools for these purposes, going back to Emacs makes me think of this scene from Star Wars: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7hb8AYnRb-4

I’m using the Emacs 28.1 test release on Windows and the Emacs-Mac Port on Mac: https://bitbucket.org/mituharu/emacs-mac/src/master/. The latter has nice features like double buffering that make Emacs, while not modern feeling, quite presentable.

For such a huge change, the elisp native compilation works extremely nicely with every package I’ve thrown at it. Totally stable and ready for prime time.
> Likewise, I'll put off learning new things until I actually have a need for the solution they offer. At least then, even if they die out in a few years, I'd have at least solved my immediate problems.

Your choice of language: saying 'need' suggests a black and white decision. See what I mean?

Costs and benefits often cannot be estimated accurately 'in one go'. It is common to spend some time and money to increase understanding and thus reduce uncertainty.

What deterministic build systems have you used? If you have not, how confident should you be that you can accurately assess their costs and benefits?

PS. Your comments suggest to me that, like most people with experience, you have become overconfident. To disabuse yourself of this, I suggest you find a prediction market and make some bets. You'll find you have to make your claims testable. Make a specific prediction/bet on Nix and let's see what happens. Let us know how it goes.
