I've been fortunate to be able to use Emacs for the last 35 years or so. If memory serves (and more and more, it doesn't) I started with Gosmacs and moved to GNU Emacs sometime around 1986 or so. At 60 years old, I don't have

With respect, I’m not seeing how your first addOne example returns an integer one greater than its integer argument. Am I missing something?

I wonder about drivers for PCIe add-in cards for the new Mac Pro. I have a client that has asked me to develop such a driver for their card so they can run on modern Mac Pro systems. I’d work entirely in userland via DriverKit if I could, b

Wow. That seems like a pretty compelling tool. I may license for a month and see what it can do. Thank you for taking the time to help me with this.

Thank you. I would welcome any suggestions you might have. If you'll contact me at john.sambrook@protonmail.com I'll send you the two clips. I don't see how to find your email and I'm reluctant to ask you to disclose it

Thank you for this. I'll take a look at Pixelmator Pro and their "ML Super Resolution." It seems credible to me that some kind of ML approach ought to be useful here.

Thank you for this. I don't know much about this topic, but it seems reasonable to think that multiple frames ought to be useful in estimating subpixel values. I agree with your take on the suggestion that that police won't spend

For what it's worth, I also used DG/UX, MV/UX and AOS/VS on Data General equipment (MV/10000, MV/4000) at the University of Washington in the 1985ish time-frame. I remember porting many BSD 4.x utilities to MV&

What about meeting people lacking empathy where they are at, and trying to connect with them? Sometimes a perceived lack of empathy has its roots in a lack of human connection.

It may also happen that as they wake up they discover other aspects of Buddhism that lead them to continue to evolve their practice so they are not harming others.

It’s important that systems have some design margin (buffers of one kind or another) so that a disruption / transient event in one part of the system is absorbed locally and not passed on to the rest of the system.

The late Colonel John Boyd also chose to steal computer time as part of doing the work to develop his “Energy Maneuverability Theory” for developing USAF dogfighting strategies. I’d say you’re in decent company. :-)

I can still hear the sound that an ASR-33 would make as it was typing out a listing. I was fortunate to attend a high school in 1975 or so that had a DEC PDP-8 with an attached ASR-33 with paper tape reader and punch. I remember that it too

NVC makes sense to me. I reject the idea that we have libertarian free will. In my view, each of us is an ongoing process, we don't strictly end at our skin lines (the world is a unity, maybe quantum fields), and no one is responsible

I have liked this video by Sam Harris for several years now. It is all to easy to go through life, lost in discursive thought: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3JzcCviNDk

I'm taking a middle path, making changes at my own pace on things that lessen my interactions with Google, Facebook, etc. I'm enjoying Protonmail, for example.

This is my experience as well. I don’t believe we have libertarian free will, either. I guess I’m aligned with the Harris / Sapolsky / Caruso / Cashmore crowd.
