It only works for VSCode? This is so frustrating because this is exactly the kind of system I've been looking for.

> The question is really do politicians in the US have the balls... Exactly. Authoritarianism works really well during a pandemic. But it isn't the American "way," so we're stuck with coronavirus.

> Obviously you can't do a true, 100%, lockdown like that If you're willing to ration food and other resources, a lot of options open up. Nobody wants to rip the bandaid off, though, so we're stuck in limbo.

Bret Weinstein (the evolutionary biologist) has argued for a new, "brief but intense" lockdown. We know so much more about the virus now than we did back in March, we might yet be able to orchestrate a way to suffocate the virus c

There's a command called M-x lsp-doctor that will tell you if you meet all the performance requirements for LSP mode. Among those is emacs 27 compiled with native json support (you can build emacs 27 without native json).

The Emacs community should start by perfecting lsp-mode so that it can compete with VS Code in terms of functionality. That will simultaneously keep power users from switching AND bring in people from other "easy to use" editors t

Yes but should be base global policy on skepticism? Especially when the stakes are so high?

Wow this is genius! I find that it's easier for me to accomplish tasks if I understand the science behind how they work. So keeping this article in mind should be super helpful for me.

I switched from helm to ivy-counsel-swiper earlier this year and I haven't looked back.

Right. And in the second half of my comment I explained why your reasoning is faulty. You must think the natural and artificial worlds as being self-similar. Think them as one continuous, self-organizing process.

Bingo. Self-organization, in a strong sense, is the process of cosmological evolution.

It is possible to accept everything you say except for the last sentence. Technology is the result of the evolutionary process of the universe. If the process resembles its own result, that shouldn't come as a surprise.

Exactly. If you get rid of the police, the wealthy elite will just hire thugs to protect their stuff.

> The police are the ones who are practically preventing the redistribution of the wealth. Policing prevents, and makes possible, all sorts of things. It is a function of law. By abolishing policing you throw out the baby (the law) with

> we’re witnessing an unprecedented wealth transfer right now in the US Indeed. And it must be regarded as infinitely baffling that everyone is shouting "abolish the police" instead of "redistribute the wealth" ...

It's true that he got a lot of attention after he appeared on FOX, but there's more to the story. You can read about it (and many other examples of cancel culture) in the controversial book "The Coddling of the American Mind&

It depends what industry you work in and how big the company is. The worst is higher education. Endless scandals over nothing. The most notable example is Bret Weinstein: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bret_Weinstein#Eve
