I realize this is a joke, but there seem to be a lot of people who are really attached to the interpretation of Emacs as a little Lisp Machine.

I'm probably halfway through my career and still feel like a perpetual beginner because of this syndrome. It has brought me many material and intellectual pleasures and tangible benefits, including a decent living; but I increasingly f

dired-mode by itself is pretty excellent for navigating directories.

I’m chiming in because no one has mentioned yet that the $100/yr ACM level includes complete access to Safari. That’s so valuable to me it almost feels like a glitch in the matrix.

I haven’t heard of the business you linked to, but the great books program definitely includes math. That’s how I did the Elements and it was transformative.

Nice observation. I would enjoy a Tao of System Design that coyly smiles and says, The architecture that can be defined is not the true architecture.

I think the two parts are bridged by the line, "Perhaps we should expect true advances in software 'engineering' only when we learn how better to govern ourselves." Makes sense to me, though I personally am a bit bearish

Thanks for the succinct account of irrational impulses, and for the James Scott ref. Can you recommend any particular book of his? My local library appears to have _Against the Grain_ on hand.

Eh, I don't disagree with everything you said, but the essay links to a fascinating article by an anthropologist who spent 18 months with a group of physicists using and developing a modeling system called Fluidity [0] that presents a

Can you recommend any particular tutorial or resource for getting a music production setup like yours going in Linux? Last time I tried was in 2014 and I couldn’t figure out (or find documentation at my level on) wiring JACK up.

I didn't get it until I looked at the photos, which completely shocked me. There's something about them that reminds me of high-quality science fiction, something about the scale, and the hubris, and something about how disconnect

I view a book as a machine for producing knowledge, ideas, and affects. Writing in the book is, for me, standard machine operation that does not impair its usefulness.

That is some phenomenal documentation.

If you develop these thoughts further, let us know. I'd read them.

While browsing a Ruby codebase’s config.rb recently, I saw several proc commands followed by bracketed subcommands and wondered if it was for some reason Tcl embedded into a Ruby script. Could that be an example of what you’re describing he
