My emacs ain't new enough to have memory-report. I tried just running memory-report.el from HEAD, but it errored out (after hanging emacs for like 3 mins!). Anyway, here's the poor man's version: cons-cells-consed is 38315202

I used to not have any $, so I'd pirate. Then I had $, so I paid for stuff -- and, without fail, everything I paid for ended up giving me bullshit problems because of DRM restrictions. So now I don't pay for anything with DRM, whi

Not sure what that means, but I appreciate the response! It's been a while since I wrote that note to myself, but I somehow had .emacs setup so it'd get recompiled automatically to byte code on changes (which helps startup speed),

For sure. But I think what's going wrong is a little different. E.g., there's a mode that highlights the current line. And there's a mode that let's you run a shell inside a buffer. And for some reason, the current line

It was subtle in my message, but my other reason for disabling was to avoid random collection pauses when using emacs. A sibling poster recommended GCing on deactivate, which is an interesting idea! But again, I truly haven't been ab

Yeah, as soon as you start customizing emacs (which is the whole point of emacs), you run into bugs. Everything is always slightly broken all the time; I don't think it's actually humanly possible to fix this -- too many parts. Fi

I just disable emacs garbage collection entirely. Fast startup, no more random pauses, haven't noticed any problems yet. (This was probably like a year ago.) (On the other hand, emacs is never quite problem free, so maybe this is intro

Oh totally. I was just surprised to see a well-known (to people on HN!) language on the front-page w/o any particular news to drive it. HN front page can be random like that. :-) (See also: random wikipedia pages that sometimes show up

Right. He's someone that went from low to high class; he's writing about high-class beliefs from the perspective of someone who has first-hand knowledge of how they play out for the lower-classes.

Interesting to note the article is from 2021, and says Javelins haven't been tested against modern tanks. I guess now they have been, but maybe hard to say how effective because of fog of war. Here's a YouTube video I recently stu

Yeah Go is all about "simple, fast enough , compiles fast" So I'd say knobs to control this, which, if you get them wrong, lead to slow compiles, would defnly be contra the spirit of Go. And in cases where absolute max perfo

I like checking it in; on balance, I think it makes life nicer: Simpler to get started running the code, less compute wasted running generators (this is especially nice when doing something like bisect), and it's nice to be able to jus

I don't know, it can definitely really suck having to wake up in the dark. Waking up to natural sunlight is the way. Of course the real problem is there's just not enough light in the winter. Not much we can do about that. :-)

Is the article inaccurate? Are there falsehoods?
