As an Emacs user since the Nineties and holder of the view that Emacs _is_ my operating system, I simply can't relate to this on any level. Now, I won't discriminate against the segment of the industry moving in this direction, bu

I saw someone post about Autology in HN last year and found the project interesting. I only had a chance to re-visit it and found this Lambda Days talk on the code. I stick to Emacs Lisp, yet found the ideas of interest. https://

Reading the article from the perspective of a non-mathematician the line that rang true for me was "I realized they derived joy, satisfaction, and meaning from the long journey toward understanding." My eldest child loves math and

I also appreciate discontinuities and while I won't comment on the data in the paper itself without cross-referencing, I will say that a couple of these examples hold true for me from applied observation over the years. When I was old

The overall sentiment expressing the growing gap between software needs and hardware capabilities is sound. This is where FOSS projects shine who put deep thought into providing the same features modern users need into an OS that can intell

Bedrock is the only Emacs "customization" project I've actually tried out since my GNU Emacs journey started in the Nineties. I am very simple in my setup and it was only in 2018 I started trying packages that I never used be

The COVID-19 pandemic shows us how crucial patient empowerment can be in the healthcare ecosystem. Now, we know that scientific advancement, technology integration, and patient empowerment need to be orchestrated to realize future smart hea

Definitely! I'm sure you've seen it, but check out his publications page. Quantum cryptography is where I find his ideas most interesting. http://users.cms.caltech.edu/~vidick/publications/index.html

Even Kurzweil's updated ideas and projections in The Singularity is Near from around 2005 still make assumptions of humanity having a longer technology maturation period than 100 years. I actually have the same opinion as you when i

While I'm not totally on board with outlooks on a technological singularity a la Kurzweil and peers, what does it mean that there is no real representation of that idea here? For example, Kurzweil's "law of accelerating retu

I agree with the core idea here, of developers reducing use of energy-pulling hardware and software resources. However, to both get interest moving and to ensure future participation, there should 1) be a solid plan on how to do it efficie

What kind of project are you working on with Arc? Or are you just having fun for now ;-)

by christianbryant 8y ago
Keep in mind that Arc is the start of something with long-term goals; further, it's part of a lifecycle that didn't necessarily start with Arc but with the first Lisp. PG points to an early essay titled "The Hundred-Year Lan

My one major concern not outlined above is that of responsibility to end users who may not have resources with which to adjust when large repos are retired. Case in point: We assume users of forges are like us - that is, back up their own

If you take a look at the code for HN written in Arc, you can compare it against other Lisp dialects. I point to this as it is possibly the most widely-used and familiar application to most here written in Arc. https://github.co

Working at UCLA I have an affinity for Ted Nelson and the early life of the Internet. I am also deeply interested in his ideas related to the interrelations in human knowledge. Perhaps I am a lover of things not celebrated (I sometimes wo

I spend most of my days reading technical journals and books, so I like to take a break once in a while and read more general writing. The two below are the only books I pledged to finish this Summer. 1) Challenging Sociality: An Anthropo

The lead up to and spike in 2013 was likely partly due to the GNU project's 30th birthday. To celebrate, version 0.5 of the GNU Hurd was released September 2013. Also, it appears the 2012 and 2013 Summer of Code sessions had some inf
