How is that related? we're talking of continuously sending proprietary code and related IP to a third party, seems a pretty valid concern to me. I, for one, work every day with plenty of proprietary vendor code under very restrictive N

Why would you do that? They could have shared a link if they wanted, they didn't.

Good luck enforcing that if there's a controversy. You never check personal email on company devices? Participate in mailing lists? Bug trackers for personal projects? Business hours is an obsolete concept in modern world, unless you w

Not sure about balena, most Linux based embedded projects I worked on were based on Yocto and all the source is available either through OpenEmbedded or some vendor consortium (e.g. Linaro). You only need to provide sources for the copyleft

the latter is not better though, it's terrible actually, deep nesting is the essence of cognitive load

always thought the problem was not multi-threading per se but the whole rendering code that's single threaded with tons of global state that's difficult to decouple without breaking the ecosystem

If the only antiquated defaults are the ones you listed we're not in a bad shape at all... Curious about light/dark mode, what does it do more than loading a theme? something like circadian.el? maybe it's because I hide menu-

Always assumed they block everything they cannot spy, it's not for security. Https they inject their certificates, ssh you can have your key and they'll be blind. And they spy to prevent exfiltration they say. I cannot ssh into my

Agree with OP, wikipedia is also wrong. A backdoor is something intentional. That definition fits any exploitable bug.

Bad defaults for who? Emacs userbase is quite heterogeneous, not everyone is a swdev, not everyone is young. All it takes to have great defaults is maybe ten instructions in init.el.

I honestly believe emacs UX to be fairly superior. I watch my colleagues struggle to find open files among tens of open tabs in vs code every day. Or endlessly navigating on the filesystem tree with the side bar before finding what they nee

Note I used periodic instead of intermittent for a reason. I seem to recall he was recently for something like a day a day and a half fast per month. Don't follow him that closely, did he move away from that too?

Wait, isn't Attia a big advocate of periodic fasting?

Working with embedded I had mixed success with bear. Old environments that cannot run the latest version, LD preload messing with vendor toolchains. These days I found my peace just writing my own python scripts to parse verbose build logs.

I know plenty of physicists that would be very pissed off by all this drama. There is so much more than fundamental physics and there is much more in physics than breakthrough discoveries. Medical physics just to name a fun field everybody

About the cowboy comment, that's what version control is for. Just modify in place and then stage hunk by hunk with magit or git add -p.

Sure, point is we as humans are already equiped with efficient ways to detect it. Only home use I can imagine is to drive some ventilation automation.

by aulin 2y ago
What do you use these for? for indoor home use I cannot see the point. We have plenty of biochemical sensors in our body telling you when it's time to ventilate the room... I mean, I can understand CO, maybe Radon, but CO2 really seems

The days I'm forced at the office I need to wake up two hours earlier, get home at least one hour later, usually two because for some reason I always end up doing overtime at the office. When I get home I still have chores to do which

It's not flu. I just assume anything respiratory I get from the office or when travelling is COVID and so far antigenic tests always confirmed it. I take flu vaccine shots once a year and didn't get flu since years. Same for COVID

VMM is one of the few things I really miss while working in embedded. I would happily trade off memory allocation errors from fragmented heap with some unpredictable malloc delay (which could be maybe mitigated with some timeout?).

could it be that you are using lead-free solder? that's almost impossible to use without precise temperature control and it's the most common source of annoyance in recent years with hobby soldering

Because that name is associated with one of the best and successful books about software engineering. I almost sure that "The Pragmatic Programmer" is a trademark so it comes natural to associate the book with either the same auth
