Yoga can help. Or Tai-Chi, since you're in China.

I would. By voting up a link or a comment you improve their visibility. This should bring more people to the discussion and that's good if you are passionate about the topic (no matter if you agree or not, or not quite sure).

Not clear. What do you mean?

I'm in the DC area. I can't really say I notice much startup vibe. Anyone interested in getting in touch?

And you don't even have to start up emacs at all. I keep mine running for months without exiting. You can use tramp mode for editing remote files if needed: /[user@]machine:localfile

Same here.

Keep on clicking, but I can't help noticing your punctuation and use of white space!

What if you ssh to a server and use a text-based MUA? That does not exactly qualify as desktop, does it. It's a third category, which I personally prefer most of the time. For the record, I'm using gnus with IMAP and emacs within screen o

I've considered switching to gmail several times, but still prefer gnus, the main reason being full control.
131.
by kmt 19y ago
gnus has been ok for me for two reasons: 1) fastmail.fm (the IMAP service I use has been very reliable for years now) 2) I don't actually start gnus, or emacs, or a linux terminal session on a daily basis; I just keep them running and use

by kmt 19y ago
Interesting, I use the same setup: gnus + fastmail.fm IMAP. IMAP of course lets me use a number of MUAs (such as Mail.app or fastmail's web access) but I primarily use gnus.

I'm very interested in Europe. Can people from such cities please comment about their city live, both in terms of lifestyle and hacker enviroment (education, peers, industry, finacials, etc.)?

It does seem like a problem: sharing the upside and the downside makes people less determined and focused to succeed. However who knows? The scale of the Internet business is such that things like open source are thriving; this idea migh

I've been using gnus/muse/bbdb/planner/remember and of course emacs itself for a while now (years). It is a helpful combination of tools and extremely flexible. Not perfect of course, unless you think that living entirely in emacs is perf

Those guys have built a business around an NP-hard problem. Is anyone here working on solving hard computational problems and thinking of building a business around it?

Oh, yeah? What a competition! But that's life, no big deal, and I was a bit satirical anyway. :)

I know! It would be the Next Big Editor! He is going to port Emacs to JavaScript and have it work in a browser. Or rather it would be the browser. Whatever. But mark my words, you heard it here for a first time: the Next Big Editor is

It doesn't say what percent of the business that $100K would take.

And what would this NBE thing be? Next Big Environment? Next Big Emacs mode? Next Big Effort? Any guesses?

by kmt 19y ago
That's exactly what I'm curious about. What is necessary and how much capital is needed.

by kmt 19y ago
Very interesting. After all these difficulties, what attracted you to biotech so much? I'm really curious. Is it primarily an intellectual/scientific curiosity or a desire to help people or the business aspect of it or...?

Why did I get downvoted? Because of the the missing 'you' between 'do' and 'pronounce'?
144.
by kmt 19y ago
What is different in the case of biotech? Can you elaborate? Why do you think the model doesn't work? Do you need equipment? Or is your biotech startup purely based on software?

How do pronounce 'auctomatic'? [okshomatik]? [oktomatik]?

Let's see: who here identifies themselves with a BBM?
147.
by kmt 19y ago
Interesting observation. Even more interesting, from entrepreneurial point of view, I think, is that there is an opportunity here. One problem with people of the BBM type (what the author calls "brilliant bipolar mind") is that they get

You haven't heard of emacs?

Direct replies or any descendant?

Ah, yes, that makes sense. Thanks!
