Try out Doom! You don't have to use evil-mode either if that's not your thing (I don't use it), just disable :editor evil in your init.el.

Personally I kind of view it like having a custom mechanical keyboard. Why not invest some time and money into making your tools more ergonomic and enjoyable? Yeah any keyboard will work, and any text editor will edit documents.

Text-editing aside, magit and org-mode are particularly nice in Emacs. Plus there's just something comforting knowing that Emacs will always be there for me, just the way I set it up.
There is just a lot of shaming going on even today.

There's an Instagram story I just saw where some influencer was making fun of software developers showing how the apartments of typical software developers who make USD 100k, 200k, 300k, and 400k make and they were a. twin mattress on the floor, b. two twin mattresses side by side on the floor, c. full size mattress of the floor, d. full size mattress with fitted sheet on the floor.
I mean ok, what's wrong with that?
If someone has a mattress on the floor what does it hurt?

It is made to look like organic "content" but I am positive it is boosted by some marketing firm somewhere if I saw it even though I don't follow the influencer.
Point is, there are a lot of really smart people working really hard to separate Americans from their money.

Full disclosure: I, too, had a mattress on the floor a few years back so maybe I am taking it too seriously.

"If we’re intelligent thinkers, we’ll study to understand the reasons for Russia doing what they did, even if we personally don’t agree with it. We’ll have come to this opinion not by viewing (censored) Google searches, but by exploring history through the independent media, not the mainstream narrative. I’ve known Russian and Ukrainian people, and don’t want anyone to die. But, just like you learned in grade school, why is America the world’s police?

Why don’t you protest the military industrial complex Dwight Eisenhower warned us about? Why not protest the fact that we have about 700 military bases? That’s not national defense, that’s offense. I can go on, but you have two radio shows where you can discuss politics. Why put it in the magazine too? Maybe start a political podcast and keep the magazine for unbiased hacker information that hackers of all countries can read.

Why keep writing editorials about fighting something you’ll never change or win? You wrote yourself, the system is broken. I can agree with that. Emmanuel Goldstein is a character in 1984. In that book, George Orwell teaches us about an evil, all-controlling government. By writing so adamantly about a few government topics, and taking a side on this or that trendy cause, you’re missing the bigger picture. You’re missing the forest for a few trees.

Economically, if the federal government dismantled itself to the bare essentials (national defense, not offense), those people and resources will move to the private sector, allowing more innovation without the burden of the cost of big government. Studies and history have proven that increased surveillance and loss of freedom have not stopped terrorists, as shown in Boston, Paris, and all the beheading videos on the Dark Web.

Americans should fix things at home before we go running around the world spreading our agenda. Instead of fixing a broken system, we have to start over. We should read history and remember the values the country was founded on, which are individual freedom and liberty, not satisfying groups of people at the expense of that individual freedom and liberty."

I agree that poor belaying technique in general shouldn't be accepted, if for no other reason than that it sets a bad example.

That being said, the pro climbers can probably catch the non-brake strand of rope with their bare hands (they're strong enough to grip the rope with their full weight on it), so if they have a hand on the rope at all, they're probably fine whether or not the belay device is catching the fall.

There's a famous situation (https://archive.is/tHQh0) where Alex Honnold and Emily Harrington (another pro climber) were starting a simulclimb (a type of climbing where two people climb at the same time). Emily Harrington was on the wall and getting to the point where Alex would start climbing. The rope was going through his Grigri (auto-locking belay device). But Emily fell far above her last piece of protection, and the rope started to pool on the ground next to Alex's feet.

Normally a climber would fall at least double the distance between them and their last piece of protection, so if you are 2 meters above your last piece, you may fall anywhere from 4-7 meters before stopping (rope stretch and the amount of rope and slack in the system are additional factors)

When you fall, the rope also falls, until you get to your protection and continue falling, after which it pulls the rope back up. The fact that Alex was able to react to the rope pooling suggests she was falling a pretty incredible distance, I suspect at least 5-6 meters, before reaching her piece.

Had Alex caught her with the brake strand, she may have fallen up to 3 times as far, possibly hitting the ground and sustaining much worse injuries or death. Instead, he plucked the rope out of the air so she fell a much shorter distance, and caught the fall with his grip strength and body weight alone.
For my senior level software development class, one of our tasks was to write a simple database system that was most definitely declared to NOT be a subset of the SQL language, because subsets of SQL were expressly forbidden. Ours was called the Network Query Language.

Most of the other teams were taking the commands as they were entered and saving them to a file. Then you could reply the file when you restarted, and then continue to proceed with processing new commands.

I had the bright idea to write a memory management routine using handles, so that we could do a binary save of memory state, and then a binary read of memory state on restart. And it worked.

We were only one of two teams to finish the project that year, and both of those teams got A's.

The other team who finished was made up exclusively of people who were Student Assistants in the Engineering Computer Network system downstairs, and so they had SysAdmin privileges on the Encore MultiMax where we were all writing our code. And some of them had some real world systems programming experience.

But ours was the only team who had a memory manager and did binary saves and reads of the entire database state. The other teams would take a long time to replay all the commands on restart, and that delay just kept getting longer and longer as more commands were entered.

That still stands out in my mind as one of my better ideas I've had with regards to computer programming, and one of my proudest experiences.

Sadly, none of the teams got to do a readout at the end where they discussed their experiences and the things they would do differently.
But it doesn’t make that point effectively; we’re all scratching our heads wondering what actually happened. And most likely Prigozhin would be almost exactly as bad as Putin from a Western perspective.

It might be domestic political theatre, but Russia is not going to stage a coup attempt for Macron’s benefit. But more likely this is just one of many cases of power struggles with mercenaries over the past few millennia.
You do realize Ukraine has bragged multiple times about hitting the dam, right? And that Russia has much more to lose over the flooding than Ukraine does?
My biggest beef with the nftables wiki is that I deploy and maintain numerous hand-crafted default-deny firewalls and their wiki does not allow me to update their wiki pages.

I have done nftables default-deny to shorewall, firewalld, as well. Wiki page needs updating rather badly.

A request for an account fell on deaf ear.

So, i had to resort to internal wiki pages instead.

And nobody benefits from a seldom updating by community editors; evolutionary pace of nftables has proverbially out-smoked its wiki page.

Such a crying shame.

There's a huge amount of status put into your house too, even though there is effectively zero marketing done in the housing market.

Cars are used to communicate status because:

* They are expensive. For most Americans a car is in their top 5 most expensive possessions.

* You can demonstrate some personality in choice. Which model, which type, which color.

* They go everywhere you go.

* People get a lot of utility from their car.

The economic percent loss of value due to car accidents, per capita is likely the same around the world. What stands out is the extraordinary rate of vehicular deaths and serious accidents in the US. [1] [2] Yes, everyone knows it's high. But, 5x the traffic accident and fatality rate of other comparable developed countries is unforgivable.

Now high car crash numbers are bad enough, but their breakdown is even worse. It is the primary driver of child death [3]. Cars don't just kill other car-drivers. They kill every type of road user, while the others barely register, even when normalized per capita. [4] [5]

Ironically, bigger and safer cars make both the driver and the roads a lot less safe as the prisoners dilemma means everyone loses. [6][7]

And these are just the numbers. There are insidious cultural patterns that appear when cars are the only way to travel. The US has a shocking cultural acceptance of DUI. I don't blame them. If the only way to party is to go downtown 20 miles away, and an uber is 75$ each way, then people start making dumb decisions. No one follows the speed limit, frequently exceeding it by 100% in slow neighborhoods. [8] Stop signs are considered optional across the country and the assumption is always that 'might makes right'. I have learnt to never engage with a pick-up truck on a road, and never to trust a car to stop just because you have the right of way as a cyclist/pedestrian. Old people, sick people, the sleep-deprived, 15 year olds, and the soon-to-be-blind all drive in the US, no matter how suited for it. Because the other options are so much worse. Ofc they're out there running over people. What did you expect would happen?

The article tries to quantify the damage done by cars with the least relevant metric : "$$". As bad as those numbers look, the economic damage is in fact the most charitable way to look at damage done by car culture in this country.

I never studied any type of math, but I was always great at logic, taking at least a half dozen philosophy and theology courses throughout my univeristy experience. I did take a few programming classes in place of several math courses, just to avoid mathematics... I think my highest math class was Algebra II. I didn't go the route of a computer science major because I didn't care about trigonometry or calculus classes, though still managed to land a science degree of psychology. I can see why college cirriculums may require computer science to have certain math courses, but if you can figure out the logic of how things work, you can get out of math courses and still be a programmer ;)

Fully agree, this is exactly what I thought yesterday.

Guess what happened.
Minnesota, for example, is a "no fault state", meaning that if you are in an accident and are injured, you must have personal injury protection as part of your insurance package, or you will pay out of pocket.

Conversely, just across the border, Wisconsin is a tort state- meaning that liability is determined based on who is found at fault, and you recover your damages from the liable party. Generally speaking, if you have personal injury protection and / or comprehensive coverage, your insurance company will pay you and go after the other party (or other party's insurance) on their own.

Insurance companies in both types of states will favor drivers with clean records, but tort states tend (in my experience) to have lower premiums for good drivers.

Either way, minimum liability coverage as determined by law isn't really sufficient if you want to drive. Comprehensive coverage is the way to go.

Space has different issues but basically -1 atmosphere vs 180 atmospheres is a constant. 180 atmospheres is absolutely brutal.

Without any real justification, I invite you to imagine an elephant pirouetting on top of your skull. Hmmm, nice image, does it stack up:

180 atmos is 186 kg/cm^2 according to random online calculator. That's 2645 psi in old money, according to Google calc. An adult african elephant is about 5-6 tonnes according to several sites (max 6.8 tonnes). So 6000/186 = 32 cm^2. root 32 is about 5.7cm. I really did pluck the elephant thing out of the air and it does seem to work out (please check my 'rithmetic).

Imagine that every 5.7cm^2 of your body/vessel/submarine has an adult african elephant's weight bearing on it.

Now in space we have a bit of a problem with keeping everything in, instead of out but we can lower the internal atmospheric pressure and up the oxygen content (fire risk - procedures!) and other tricks and we have to scrub the CO2 (and so below surface). We also have to worry about very, very fast moving anything, radiation and other issues.

But in space you do not have an elephant's weight crushing each 2.5" square of your body, all the time! That's why deep sea is far more dangerous than space (which is also very dangerous).
Multiple factors may lead to you paying more than the average:

1. Not all Americans have cars or drive.

2. Each state has different legislative structures which impact payouts and medical costs. Some states cost more than the average per accident, some cost less.

3. Your risk may be higher than average

4. You may drive more or less miles than average

5. Your choice of car makes you more or less risky
Of course. In a world with two 75 year-olds for every 25 year old, different decisions will be made.
> I'd like something that takes a screenshot every second and then allows me to semantically search to find things.

Tbh a video recording at say 15 fps or lower will probably take significantly less storage than capturing a PNG screenshot every 1 second, because the video can compress several frames as smaller deltas of changes during times at which the screen does not change much.

Aside from that I do wish that some computer systems could save screenshots in a special format where text was saved as raw utf-8, and window decorations etc were stored by reference to elements from the system. Of course this would require a stable API first.

Ah yes that was not how I read it but going back again I see that now.

I do totally get the desire for more sophisticated (no snark) phrasing, given the incredibly huge impact this phenomenon has on lives and livelihoods everywhere, but I think the crassness of it is effective, particularly in two ways: first, keeping the focus on the what (making things worse) more than the why (profit). Other terms I’ve seen like “value extraction spiral” don’t do that the same way. The second thing is it makes discussing it with a broader audience easier; when my very non-technical parents complain about how their facebook is so much worse now, I very briefly describe enshittification and they immediately just get it in a way that doesn’t happen when I talk about other industry concepts with them.
Seems logical that he would use a green screen whether he was in Ukraine or not.

Very start of an invasion doesn't feel like a great time to be broadcasting your exact location. Also maybe not a great time to be doing outtakes in the open streets.

I don't have a whole lot of information to say whether he actually stayed or not. I assume there would be a ton of credible evidence in one direction or the other - photos, videos, etc. But either way, I'm just saying that I could definitely understand the need for a professional studio and obfuscation of location.

Wait and see where Wagner ends up in Belarus. Watch it be some convenient spot along Ukraine border.

I’m not saying that was the original plan, but even just moving 20K Wagner troop as part of the deal, even with no intention of attack, would draw a significant chunk of ukraines attention.

And if the Ukrainians don’t move additional defense, then an opportunistic attack might be on the table for some exchange that would be mutually beneficial to the Russian factions.

Let me be clear, this was not meant to be a grand ruse, but that doesn’t it can’t be turned in to one after the fact in order for the opposing Russian sides to salvage their situation.
