If anyone is looking for a solid Emacs configuration, I highly recommend checking out:

https://github.com/bling/dotemacs

This is particularly useful if you appreciate the Vim (Evil) style of text editing but want to adopt Emacs as your operating system (apps) for everything.

Bailey Ling, the creator of this configuration, transitioned from Visual Studio to Vim to Emacs. He has authored several Vim/Emacs packages, including vim-airline.

Here's a video of him demonstrating Evil mode:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PeVQwYUxYEgu

What makes his configuration stand out is:

He has a multitude of useful packages pre-configured. This is also why people appreciate Spacemacs and Doomemacs (but more on that later).

His codebase is incredibly easy to understand and modify.

I've declared Emacs bankruptcy several times (building from a plain config, Spacemacs, Doomemacs, cloning another high-profile user's config, etc.)

The issue with Spacemacs and Doomemacs is:

They have a massive codebase. You can, of course, just configure the layers and treat everything else as black boxes, but that doesn't truly make Emacs an extension of your own.

There's always some maintenance required to keep up with upstream, especially if you've made a lot of non-surface level changes.

Bling's dotemacs is essentially just one core-boot.el, which sets up a loop to pick up all config/.el and binding/mode/.el files.

To add some features, you simply need to add to config/ and a new binding.

To remove something you don't want, just delete a pair of files (config & binding).

I never realized that my messy config was partly due to having features and key bindings tightly coupled together (like using the use-package macro). Now that these are separated, it's much easier to modify it to my liking.

Also, I don't have to worry about syncing with upstream, since I understand what each and every file does, and I have made massive changes to it.

I have since stolen a lot of features I want from spacesemacs and other users and adapted it to my own config.
> However, the benefit is that we would then have plans (diagrams, specs, etc) to build it and one built we can iterate.

Hypothetically we've lost the diagrams,designs,knowledge to build a 386.

Is it worth building one today just so we can remember how, and then iterate on it?

No, absolutely not. The F-1 (and the 386) are ancient. Don't start from ancient and work up. Aim higher.
If the apocalypse really can happen at any moment shouldn’t Musk shutdown Grok immediately? I don’t see how these people are connected with reality. They built a word generator.
You define tooling too narrowly. That custom script that the team uses to cut a release branch and notify people with contributions on the branch that it's being deployed? That's a tool, that itself uses off the shelf tools/products (eg. perhaps Python, GitHub, Slack). And it could possibly be a very helpful tool that saves manual effort and improves results, for a fairly low cost.

Sure you can spend too much time and effort building tools, rather than focus on meeting the most important business objectives, and we've all met developers that do that. But you can certainly build too few tools, as well.
Not a throwaway FYI, a first post.
> They still do not know what it is worth, because they have no idea what the risks of not being treated are.

I disagree; I think that in most cases patients do have a reasonable idea of the risks of not being treated. Where I think risk information is often not communicated very well to patients is in the risks of being treated--what the actual success rate of the treatment being proposed is. That is because in our non-free-market system, doctors have a strong incentive not to let patients know what their actual success rates are, and there is nothing that can counterbalance that. In a free market, they might still not want to, but they would have no choice, because that information is valuable enough to patients that if doctors don't provide it, someone else will. (Other parties try to do that even in our current system, but they are limited in what they can do by legal restrictions imposed by the government.)

> [Doctors] are the only person in the decision making process with the information necessary to make a rational recommendation

I disagree with this as well. My experience with doctors has been that I usually know more than they do about my particular condition. (My wife, who has several chronic conditions, has had this experience even more strongly than I have.) I may have less overall knowledge of all medical conditions in general, but that's because I don't treat any patients other than myself, while they have to treat lots of them. But I have a strong incentive to learn about my particular condition that my doctor does not have, and that usually beats the doctor's general knowledge.
It's a joke that you seem to have missed.

For example, if asked "how would you detect a cycle in a linked list?" you might memorise "Tortoise and hare algorithm, two pointers one slow and one fast, fast overtaking slow indicates the presence of a cycle"

A person with a deep passion for algorithms might be tempted to try to solve it themselves before checking the answer - which can be a time consuming business. Time your competitors have used to memorised the answers to 25 more questions.

ldjkfkdsjnv has exaggerated a bit, to be provocative - but I've certainly had interviewers ask me questions that stumped the greatest minds in computer science for 25+ years; I don't know what they were expecting if not memorisation.

Thanks for the links and your valid points.

I'm not at all suggesting that everyone participating in a group like this would have equal say or equal ownership in this structure. Clearly, founders in startups as they stand today can add a lot of value by concentrating power and responsibility. The goal here would be to maintain the ability to exercise substantial top-down control, but on better terms than today's labor situation.

To your point about investors and funding, there could certainly still be a holding company structure to invest in - it would just not have any employees. It would sit at the center of a web of entities that it would have majority ownership of (liquidation preferences, senior rights, etc). It would also control the bulk of the IP, by how it had set things up.

For example, in the co-founding contracts I mention, the individual engineer might not be an equal shareholder at all. The entity that they contract with would be the majority shareholder and the agreement could apportion expectations. Perhaps a super-star engineer would get more equity in that entity and more leeway. The initial funding of the JV from the holding co, could be on the order of the typical sign-on bonus plus a few months of salary, to be re-upped down the road as IP and services flow the other way.

To your point about a class of employees not wanting this: I agree this would definitely not be for everyone. That's comparable to choosing a seed-stage company vs the federal government.
If you have seen a mechanical steering column

I have in fact had to remove the column on one of my cars, mostly to deal with the attached electronics. It's a relatively small device with a couple of u-joints.

see the Canoo design for example, which uses steer by wire to create a
cabin that would literally be impossible with a steering column

Without tests with AR-15 it is simply half-true marketing. but Tesla is full of such statements, like full self driving or price including gas savings.

Toyota should do same marketing tricks with new Prius.
There's a certain sense of martyrdom around Tesla.

But I think that has nothing to do with this. Tesla has, for better or worse, one of the most "connected" vehicle systems. There are things I don't miss in my car, but I certainly like other things.

That just makes it a bigger target. Attack surface and all that, more opportunities.

It doesn't have to be about "the haters".
big-O notation isn't some fundamental secret of the universe. It's a model devised by humans, and typically used in the context of real world computers as a means for conveying an understanding of how algorithms scale.

If we considered the bits of integers as the smallest unit of work in all cases (it is of course relevant to consider bits as the unit of work in some cases), then big-O notation becomes a lot more tedious without typically adding more value.

To be fair it makes sense that it works as intended: that specific frequency is used in home chargers and Superchargers to avoid the hassle of opening the charging port via the app / the car.

I wonder how bad this is compared to the competition. https://comma.ai allows you to add self-driving features to a large number of non-Tesla cars so, if we’re including physical firmware hacks as a threat vector, I’d bet tons of alternative cars (new enough Honda Odysseys, Toyota Siennas, etc: probably anything with adaptive cruise control and lane following) have the same sort of potential vulnerability.
Passionate Linux fans are not representative of Linux users in general.

Linux has a huge number of people who installed it on anything from grandma's old computer to a corporate server, who have exactly zero interest in any kind of tinkering with system services.

We just want something free, that won't break in an auto-update, and has access to the ecosystem of things like PipeWire and DBus.
Left to my own devices, I fall into something like that, yes. My ideal world would be one in which I was allowed to stay up and keep being productive, instead of feeling like I'm hitting my stride right as the external world says it's time to go to sleep.

I donno, it hasn't been a big deal. I've worked for startups and also doing consulting work the past 20 years, I always mentioned my weird schedule when interviewing, maybe it's tech, maybe just my bubble, but it's fine. During that time I didn't tend to schedule many appointments.

Now I'm doing a different thing, trying to see if I can actually adapt to be on a 24h schedule and be a "morning person" and all that.
My paranoid mind sees a fresh account telling me to blanket ignore/block one of the most important western institutions for civil discourse (the free press).

I am not surprised people havent heard about this. Altman’s being protected by the affiliated media until he does a final handover of openai to the right people.

Sure, but it's just a single port LAN router. If you have a 10G switch it's going to have a MAC table and let your laptop talk directly to your file server over Ethernet.

The privilege is kept to the masters at the mothership. As a security researcher you can register your car and get an SSH certificate (bound to your VIN) to access your car as root.

On top of that, root won't give you _a lot of access_ to the car AFAIK. Some specific features are gated under some specific operations that require a sequence to unlock the gateway. If you also add to the mix the secure boot, it might be hard to do persistent harm other than what the infotainment usually does - you can't flash the autopilot system nor you can interfere with the basic driving functions (?). I'd be happy to be proven wrong though.

It's a demo but the code that is transformed is trivial in the extreme. The whole approach of selecting small pieces is just not scalable. One small project i worked in was 22 million lines of cobol code, spread over 4000+ programs imagine having to select bits of code out of that.

Quoting Brian Eno: "Whatever you now find weird, ugly, uncomfortable and nasty about a new medium will surely become its signature. CD distortion, the jitteriness of digital video, the crap sound of 8-bit - all of these will be cherished and emulated as soon as they can be avoided. It’s the sound of failure: so much modern art is the sound of things going out of control, of a medium pushing to its limits and breaking apart"

Completely unrelated to either the GP or GGP. My take was that GGP was making a joke on mathematical induction: wait 5-10 years, and when you get there wait 5-10 years again, etc. So, a roundabout way of saying "just don't do it". To which the GP answered "start a rumor about anti-aging tech invading your privacy", and then even if it gets done, it doesn't get used, so the end result is the same.

For years, I was interested in journalism, and used to read/speed-read many newspapers per day. It was a great education in multiple ways. But also it wore on me, because I had more awareness than the average person of things going on, and I felt like I needed to do something about it, but I couldn't.

I eventually took a break from any news exposure at all, then gently added back in a front page skim of a high-quality outlet or two, then shifted for awhile to Reddit front page, then faded back out to zero. At the moment, I'm unlikely to hear about a current news event unless it's alluded to on HN or (this is awful) LinkedIn.

News-related stress now is mostly limited to ridiculous situations in tech industry (we've become the coked-up sociopaths field, a bit like 1980s Wall Street stereotypes used to be), and very local news situations that affect me in noticeable ways (e.g., housing, noise pollution).

It got me a C programming job that had nothing to do with the side project.

I would say that it only helped me in the interview process, but it did so in two ways:

* I could actually answer C-related questions on top of the more generic questions.

* It showed that I had skill in C.
I believe that practically the whole barrier to getting rid of legacy COBOL systems is testing the replacement system. Of course it's possible but it's very very expensive ... I don't have numbers for how expensive, but I've worked on financial software in COBOL on a mainframe, and nothing was the least bit abstruse or scary or difficult about it except the worry that our test suite might not be comprehensive, no matter how much we worked on it (and we worked on the test suite about the same amount as we worked on all the rest of the code put together). But at least our test suite appeared to cover all the cases that eventuated when we ran our COBOL code. How confident would be be that it would cover all the cases that eventuated when we ran translated code? THAT is the problem (or at least was for us). Nothing at all to do with whether translating COBOL can be made easier.
> route report to appropriate carrier

hilarious to assume that would exist, it is very manual. if any carrier attempted to automate it, it would be used offensively for fraud as well
Depending on the ammunition type, those guns all stand out as having very low penetration.

Starting with the handgun, the two most popular calibers are 9 mm and .45, and if you shoot hollow point rounds, they can even be stopped by a few inches of drywall (hollow points are designed to expand on contact), and lead bullets may also be stopped by the truck if they are shot at an angle, but I wouldn't be sure about high-penetration rounds like full metal jacket. The Tommy gun is also handgun-caliber (assuming they shelled outout a small fortune to rent a real one, .45).

Shotguns have an even wider variety of available projectiles. A shotgun shooting buckshot has far lower kinetic energy behind each projectile than a handgun, and their velocity falls off very quickly with increased range. A slug (a solid chunk of metal) designed for armor penetration, on the other hand, will penetrate 3 mm of steel easily, with similar caveats about range.
Candidate seemed like a good fit until I saw something inexplicable, a black tongue, dark as sin, slithering out of the candidate's mouth like a serpent, writhing about as if it had its own mind, and when it touched Tim (the shadow interviewer) he collapsed on the spot as if struck by a lightning.

Originally started it as a school project, which then during the pandemic morphed into something to work on while cooped up. It is really a passion project, working on it is fun! There are some interesting design things I wanted to explore, like how to get good performance out of safe Rust, using unrolled linked lists or vlists instead of naive linked lists, using contracts, etc.

Chibi is an impressive scheme implementation, and it will take a long time before Steel can hit the same level of compliance as Chibi. There is not a Chibi equivalent in native Rust that I am aware of. There are other embedded scripting languages for Rust that are pleasant - but no schemes of the maturity of Chibi. So in that regard, I'm hoping to offer a compelling scheme in native Rust to make integration with Rust applications relatively easy and painless.

I also don't have a particularly strong need to be 100% completely compliant with the scheme specs. The plan is to have compatibility layers so that portable scheme code can be used, however there are things about scheme that I think Racket (for example) improved on, and I'd like to explore that as well as much as I can.
