There is 70M of Boomers in US. (Generally) about to end a decade or two of their most productive years: highest skills, highest level jobs, house paid off, kids out, etc. - trying to save and invest enough to give themselves a good retireme

Low rates are a result of boomeres all over the world saving for retirement (+ CB manipulation). As soon as they start using that savings, instead of accumulating them both inflation and yields will tend to naturally raise again. More peopl

When talking, I feel like a CPU waiting for DRAM reads all the time. "Gee... why is this going so slow?!" Anything that can speed things up is appreciated. Talk fast, interrupt me, let me interrupt, fill the gaps, ask what you don

What you've described is already happening, just on a global scale. For 10 or more years, whole financial system is just pushing slowly and collectively the lever, knowing that central banks will not allow it to collapse. So as long, a

I have actually worked on safety-critical applications. ISO 26262, MISRA C, ASIL, etc. :D . I even own and drive a car that has my software in it. I am obviously teasing the OP, but there's IMO a lot of truth to it. Safety-critical stu

> As I like to write, Ada is used in critical systems such as ballistic missiles and trains, whereas Rust is used in Firefox. You mean to say that Ada is good for much simpler, easier, smaller-scope projects?

The alternatives are: * Have every single common thing live in a standard library which makes them stagnate, slows down language development and so on. * Have people roll their own half-baked, half-broken code every time. I stand firmly tha

Exactly. Even when I am typing something with a friendly coworker causally looking over my shoulder, I tend to make way more mistakes then I would if I was by myself. I've been interviewing a lot of people, and it is very, very importa

What I want is a Linux GUI tool, that on a hot-key pop-up and allows me to quickly add comments/task/edit using only keyboard, and then when I hot-key it again, it hides in the background. Any recommendations?

Just wait when the people accumulating these savings get a bit older, and decide that now it the time to use them.

I doubt this will ever happen. It's all about complexity, and in case of text editors there are layers and layers of abstractions that often (for UX reasons) have to be integrated tightly. Trying to unpack all pieces into fully generic

Ha! I have a very similar experience and I agree with all your points. I really enjoy the basic experience and `kak` is my main text editor ATM, but some details and parts of the philosophy are infuriating me. I started `breeze` as a protot

Shameless plug. I'm working on a somewhat novel modal text editor: https://github.com/dpc/breeze It's written in Rust, and it tries to improve on Kakoune, which tries to improve on Vi/Vim. If you feel li

But with Rust you will get a whole ecosystem working. In your method you will get 0 dependencies working, no?

Interesting, but nothing to make any conclusions from. Too many variables to be of any use. Almost everything was different about these projects (different parsers, error handling, features, developer skill, team size).
