I switched (over 7 years) from Sublime to Atom to VSCode to vim to neovim, to VSCode and back to neovim and even tried Helix before settling onto (Doom) Emacs a couple of weeks ago (lol)

Seriously, it feels unproductive a bit at first. But the productivity potential is 10x higher than any other tool or editor out there.

With org-mode, Magit, Projectile and dired, I already feel more productive than in VSCode or neovim. And more importantly, I feel like I'm shaping reflexes around the editor and thus creating my own workflow.

And evil-mode is the best emulation out there. I tried neovim inside VSCode but it's not yet there. So as a vim lover, I have two options (Neovim or Emacs).

The deal breaker was org-mode, It made me switch ... My organization skills are quite poor and I tend to forget everything all the time. But org-mode is a magical tool that's probably the best piece of software written to date !! And org-babel is quite cool too!

Anyway, the key takeaway is that my relationship with emacs is two-way shaping ... Meaning I can configure it to my liking with no barriers (other than elisp, I ask ChatGPT for help) and Emacs helps me shape my workflow and improve it.

It's not for everyone. It's not for most people. But it was a match for me :)
I've worked as a bicycle courier in Denver and DC.

Bike lanes have always felt kind of silly in my view. You're always being set up to collide with an opening car door or get T-boned by someone making a right on red. Worse yet, drivers will often try to overtake cyclists to make that right turn. Many are terrible at judging relative speeds.

Easy solution is to just skip the bicycle lanes. Move with traffic on the main thoroughfares. When possible operate on the residential side streets.

Bicycle lanes are part of the problem in that they create the wrong expectations for both cyclists and drivers. Cyclists still need to maintain just as much if not more situational awareness. Drivers expect cyclists to stick to the lane. As you approach any intersection you are going to want to move towards the center. Sure, get over to the side when it makes sense. No need to make a nuisance of yourself, but bike lanes create more problems than they solve.

Denver itself is a relatively rural area. Many drivers are unaccustomed to urban driving. On the plus side, you have extremely wide streets. I never attributed my experiences to a "lack of bike infrastructure". From my perspective the less planning, the better. Like the bike lanes, when they do build something, I doubt it would solve more problems than it creates.
I recently had a comment on another site flagged by a bot for using ableist language when I used the world "insane".
It was a first for me as well. Will go with "batshit" next time.

These debates always remind me of this quote (referring to C++) here on HN by another user:

It seems like grappling with these arcane features feels productive, at first.
You enter a flow state and after a while, something works that didn’t work before.
It’s only when you step back and ask what actually got accomplished that you realize it’s time wasted.

That's what Linux feels like to me. People enjoy solving arcane problems, digging through man pages, download esoteric commands. Heck I enjoy this stuff too! Recently I had a lot of fun playing around with parallel compression tools available on Linux.

It's fun... but it's rarely as productive as not having to deal with the challenge in the first place.
Encourage you to have a look at the number of different English-language translations exist of biblical texts and the kinds of debate that goes into discerning what those words mean.
> For 10-1000 servers that aren't all identical, I prefer Windows because of things like Active Directory, GPOs, DSC, etc...

I run over 1000 Windows boxes and AD/GPOs are terrible. GPOs are spaghetti by design. There are no concepts of infrastructure as code with these tools, and they're quickly becoming liabilities at any scale. There aren't any real ways of making repeatable and reversible changes so these infrastructures via code.
Broaden your horizons a bit and you'll notice these are not the way.

Using Chef on top to manage DSC is the only thing that allows me to keep my sanity, and the more config I pull out of GPO and AD the happier everyone becomes, and the safer all of our systems are. Windows is terrible because it's too heavyweight and too opaque. It is the opposite of an agile choice of operating system.
Even better...

For avoidance of confusion, a submodule is just:

- committing a commit hash from a foreign repository in a text file (.gitmodules), along with

- some convenience tooling to check out that repository's tree at that commit in a subdirectory.

It is useful exactly when you want both of those things at once. Wanting the first is common enough, it's wanting the second that's more rare.

For example, you wouldn't submodule a Rust dependency, because you get what you want by committing the hash to a text file (Cargo.toml), and tooling to check it out in a subdirectory of your project gets you nothing.

I think the error the Git project made with submodules is trying to make them transparent, i.e., allowing you to use Git inside the submodule checkout. This is basically never a good idea; it is understandable that people get confused trying it (the thing they are trying to do is inherently confusing; if you have already been traumatized by submodules, imagine doing it with Cargo.toml or similar - it would be a mess!).

You probably don't want submodules. But they're useful, and not at all broken or poorly specified.
Using inclusive language never bothered me. Never saw a bug related to inclusive language, and I worked on software I am confident everyone on HN uses.

It isn't common to encrypt or sign the full content using asymmetric encryption.

For encryption you usually pick a large random key for symmetric encryption, encrypt the body with a strong symmetric cypher and that key, and encrypt the symmetric key with your asymmetric method and the intended recipient's public key.

For signing, you use a suitable secure hash function to produce a digest of the content, when sign the digest using your private key. Choice of digest function is as important as your choice in encryption method as an exploitable issue that allows you to generate the same digest for different content means that the signature, while secure in itself, is worthless because what has been signed is no longer effectively deterministic.

tl;dr: So when they say “digest algorithm for repository signing” they don't mean that they are using the SHA256 result as a signature, but that they use SHA256 to generate the digest that is then signed.
I can think of only two types of people who use emacs (same thing for vim) .

1. Old folks who are used to working with them and don't bother switching.

2. Young fellas who spend a significant amount of time tinkering and playing with config files.

VScode (VScodium really :) offers everything that emacs or vim has to offer (as far as editing file is concerned) with much less time spent in the config files. With that in mind, I still use emacs bacause I belong to that second category.
Not yet. You can still disable secure boot and install Linux.

To sum-up this whole article: It’s not easy at all being a solopreneur, and even worse when we are not working full-time on our projects (since I have a full-time job). That’s it, you can now read another article.

Why not have it be human readable as well? Good to be redundant. They can automate the compilation, and we can't always rely on the machine
I could be wrong, but I think the parent comment is just a reference to the fact that brown doesn't exist. There's no wavelength that our brains map to brown. Instead what we perceive as brown is just orange, but less bright. And wether we see it as brown or dark orange depends entirely on context.
But Emacs is incredibly light for the current generation hardware... and it's been incredibly light for probably 15 years or more.

On my "small" laptop, I only use Emacs... Trying to run IntelliJ or VSCode makes the laptop burning hot and forces the fan to keep running. With Emacs, no matter what I do, it's always quiet and cool.
A winery, no? During a few years where the vines were disease ridden or something like this.
I'm genuinely shocked this wasn't CGI. TIL.
I too loathe git submodules (which I have to use daily).

But there is one case where they're not too terrible: It's where you have some kind of "meta project" that needs to coordinate other large projects together. An example is where you need to combine specific versions of the Linux kernel, glibc and gcc (eg that you have tested and know work together). A git project with one submodule pinned to the tested commit of each of Linux/glibc/gcc seems to work well. You can, for instance, test a new combination of submodules together and if they work push an atomic commit to update them all together.
I've hacked on bikes since the 80's, and I think things are better now(ish), at least if you're not going full squish or hydraulic brakes.

I've got 2 bikes with SRAM Rival and Apex that have had perfectly crisp shifting for 7k miles each. There might have been one adjustment barrel turn in there somewhere. They've got some sort of modern, trouble free bottom bracket with a hollow axle. I don't even know, because it's that maintenance free. And that shifting? Much easier than the post bike boom downtube friction shifters.

Whereas with my 80's tech bikes, I repacked hubs and bottom brackets every so often, at least until I went with the (more disposable) shimano cartridge BBs. Shifting always needed a little bit of adjustment. My wheels were better than, but I built those wheels (and I know my stuff), but I'm using commercial wheels now. Changing brake pads now is a 2 minute job, just slide them out and put new ones in. It used to be that you'd need to re-align the brake shoes too.

Maybe I wasn't all that good at it, but I think I was decent at wrenching. I can strip and reassemble a bike, with the possible exception of the headset races. The bikes now might be less maintainable, but critically, my bikes now just don't need as much maintenance.

The invention of the 4 bolt face for the stem is 1000% better than quill stems where you had to pull the brakes and tape off to get 10mm more or less reach. They're also significantly less likely for them to move around against the fork. Threadless headsets are also far easier to set properly and keep them there.

The style of larger tires on road bikes is awesome. Comfort and speed. It's nice to be able to get a sub 15 lb bike. 18 used to be stupid light, now it's just a bit pricey. They're not workhorses, but they're fun.

For utility, racks are better now. Low rider front racks and the standard mount rear racks were only really introduced in the 80s. There are good front and rear racks at multiple price points that work for light duty or full blown continent crossing epics. You can _get_ cargo bikes, in a variety of shapes, with e-boost and not.

Yes, there are bits that aren't compatible. Most shifters need to be paired with compatible derailleurs. Be careful on hydraulic brakes. You have to know if you have disks or rim brakes. You might need to use the proper chain, at least of the right # of speeds. It's difficult to find 27" rim/tires anymore. Shimano doesn't sell replacement bearing cups for their hubs, though you can get the cones. Campy does tho. Its really hard to find a good 8sp mountain freewheel these days.

If you want, you can still go full analog and get downtube 11sp friction shifters with non-aero center pull brakes, all with new parts, and it's not even that hard to find if you know where to look, though economy of scale means that it's not going to be cheap.

So, The glass is far more than half full.

Is this mean someone is determined or steadfast in their constitution?

I worked with someone who was really smart but annoyed me because his variable names were cartoon characters, like Tom,jerry,bugs, etc.

I asked him not to do this and he said that each variable was documented so it’s better to use an arbitrary label that never needs to change should the business change it’s name (ie if you called a variable division_names and the org decides to rename divisions to units). We argued over this and he never changed his variable names.

But now I get it. I’d rather just have some arbitrary label that means disabled and never have to change it as “prepend is foo” would stand the test of time while “prepend is disabled” might change to “pretend is of disability” might change to “prepend is not hindered by disability” to “prepend is a human first and valiantly overcomes a limitation in ability” to “prepend only has one arm” etc.

For code, I use JetBrains IDEs (CLion, IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, Rider). They are incomparably better than any editor on Earth.

To edit large text files, I use Vim, as it is one of the fastest editors I've ever tried.

For anything else, I use Emacs: scripts, programs written in languages with no good IDE support, personal notes (Org mode is awesome!), handling of Git repositories (Magit is better than JetBrains IDEs), email (Notmuch). If only it could be made faster when editing large files…
I thought it was the 2nd derivative that was falling. Rents were still going up, but not as fast as they were previously.
When I first got Disney+ because an ex-girlfriend wanted to watch Wanda, the app was misconfigured to have the audio description turned on. It's a pretty weird show, so it took me 3 episodes of being confused by the weirdness of the show to realize something was really off and it wasn't meant to be watched like that. Took me forever to find the setting to turn it off; and it got a bit more watchable after that.
Meson is a build system written in python:

https://mesonbuild.com/index.html

Getting python bootstrapped is less easy than getting make bootstrapped, plus python isn't a GNU tool so I don't see them adding a dependency on it to all their packages.

GNU Make is really far more sophisticated than people give it credit for and it's not that easy to replace it.
It contains weights for all four model sizes, apparently. This definitely saves on bandwidth costs. :)

Some of the MariaDB 10.1 versions trivially corrupted themselves by just loading them up with writes a bit, no crashes or power issues involved.

One of the 10.6 versions had (has?) a bug where a connection sometimes simply does not die ever, even after disconnecting and killing the query using the KILL sql command, so it never releases its slot (which matters if you have lots of connections), although to be fair I've only hit that once since we upgraded to 10.6.

Frankly I prefer MySQL and friends over Postgres simply because that's what I always used and I find it familiar (plus I don't like the process based concurrency that Postgres has, while I haven't really tried it to see if it matters, process creation is fairly expensive in Windows to use as a concurrency mechanism and limits the numbers of connections a lot more than threads), but let's not deny reality here, MySQL has never been rock-solid and a glance at its source code should be enough to tell you why.

As for your disregard for performance issues, it's hard to say if it's warranted without knowing the numbers and the load profile but it's probably preferable to spend the time to test it properly than having to fix everything in a hurry later with customers screaming at you over the phone.

Plus I like programs built to be snappy and fast, a good practice that sadly has been lost to time.

> Is that something attackers can install/activate remotely through some kind of RCE, or does it need me to run an executable manually?

This piece of malware is not related to distribution, and must be executed manually (or, more likely, executed by a different malware sample serving as a loader). So you can use it in a social engineering attack, deploy it org-wide after exploiting AD, install it using some kind of RCE, etc.

Part of the problem with modern movies is they're designed for surround sound 5.1 systems or similar. In those systems, the middle front channel is generally used for dialogue, but that channel often gets entirely dropped when remixing for stereo systems. This predictably results in inaudible dialogue.

This was discussed on HN a few months ago, but I can't find a reference to that thread.
I have been using emacs since around 2005. If you are looking to immerse yourself in emacs, then I highly recommend switching your windows manager to EXWM [1]. If you are looking to get over the learning curve, then I recommend buying the book Mastering Emacs [2]. If you are interested in learning new and creative ways to use emacs, then I recommend attending the next emacs conference [3]. Also, please join #emacs on librechat [4]. For IRC on emacs I really love erc-mode [5].
