I sincerely do not understand what you are talking about. I, and I assume also you, have just read about an education system where boys aged 7 are separated from their parents, underfed, whipped, beaten and basically forced into sexual rela

This signals to me that Google thinks that Chrome either has, or will soon have, a significant enough market share where it is realistic and useful to move their invasive tracking methodology from the web into the browser. Maybe they also r

I understand, your comment simply rubbed me the wrong way, because it, in my mind, kind of ignores the main point of the parent, that nowadays the trade-off is less obvious than it used to be. I also genuinely want to apologize if my commen

Sorry to break this to you, but if the possibility of a problem is a no go for your servers, you will unfortunately have to pull the plug on them. All software has bugs, so does hardware.

As an Austrian, while I have absolutely no sympathy for our local Neo-Nazi groups and far-right Parties, I would personally see the Widerbetätigungsgesetz to be repealed as soon as possible. While it might be true that most people who have

Not me, but this guy[1] seems to have a pretty interesting setup using backlinks with Org. Other than that, org-roam[2] is becoming popular nowadays. [1]: https://karl-voit.at/2020/07/22/org-super-links [2]:

I would imagine the book contains a bit more justification for its arguments than what was presented by the person you are responding to. What makes you believe that the author just "wrote basic observations and concluded they are the

I personally don't think that "it would help criminals" is a good argument against any piece of technology nowadays. Distributors of illegal content already have, TOR, torrents, offshore servers and probably hundreds of other

Interestingly, I have had the polar opposite experience. When using apps written in scripting languages like Python, I almost expect them to crash at some point because I've seen it happen so often. On the other hand, Rust applications

In my opinion, a non-insignificant amount of cryptocurrencies tout a global low-friction exchange system with good APIs as their main feature. I am not qualified to say how related the markets are, but it seems like there is at least some o

I think they are trying to imply that, because some crypto projects are targeting similar markets, there might be some conflict of interest that motivated Diehl to create his post. To me this reads less like a smear and more just "this

As an outsider to both the Haskell and Crypto communities, I find it extremely hard to properly verify any of these claims. For example, I was convinced that Tweag was a highly reputable company. Would anyone here who is less invested in no

I fully agree that it is unfair to creators that they cannot reasonably generate income from CLI apps. Still, I am unconvinced that the model you are proposing could gain viable traction. It might be that I am in a sysadmin bubble here, but

One problem I see is that for more tech-savy Linux users, which are the people most CLI software is targeted at, convenience means simply installing something via their distributions package manager. I am not interested in downloading your

Modern Emacs (27 and up I think) has a new so-called "portable dumper"[^1]. I've only played a little bit with it, but it does ridiculously speed speed up some things. Don't really need it, but it's cool anyways. [^

Can't relate to the Pulseaudio comment. In 3-4 Years of using it on multiple Machines it has "surprised" me maybe once. (Because of a dock that advertised itself as an audio output despite not having speakers/headphones

I think the only reason why I disagree with the comments here calling Git horrible and unintuitive is because Magit (Git interface for Emacs) makes it so easy to use and discoverable.

I heavily disagree. While outrage at e.g. societal problems might sometimes be appropriate, directing that outrage at forum posters that defend what you call "unnaceptable behaviour" is just a bad idea. If they actually believe in

I use Org with Emacs, but am confident I would be able to continue using my old notes on any editor, should I switch. It would impact my workflow, sure, but not to the extent where I'd rather have used a more universal format in the fi

With Org you do not need to use a fancy web interface that might disappear from one day to the next. (Though you definitely have the option) The default representation is plain text but you may export to HTML, LaTeX, etc. which is what you
