I've tried a lot of keyboards over the years – ergonomic ones, such KA2 and Glove80 (now) absolutely did solve my RSI issues. Pain may have many issues, such joints, posture problems (pinching nerves in shoulders/elbow) but gettin

Well, it may be - hidden, at least in the US, by the "AI"-Bubble. But also an interesting point is that these layoffs do not happen in struggling companies -they all have increasing profits. It is most likely a way to squeeze out

Alike to big fortunes, no one wants to hear the truth about lot of them existing due to simple luck. There is a significant amount of post-hoc rationalization to explain the success by some almost magic virtues. Or even explain the success

I like common lisp, where sbcl will catch the worst type errors while compiling, but you can also specify types and they will speed up your code.

I think, the "useful" part is more covered by libraries than everything else, and the stability and flexibility of the core language certainly helps with that. Common Lisp is just not very popular (as every lisp) and does not have

Not driving like a grandma is not a big security issue if drivers are accordingly trained and expect it. Not looking for other participants, especially pedestrians, is one.

> Or Lisp via QuickLisp Common Lisp is not worth it - you are unlikely to hit any high-value production target, there are not many uses and they are tech-savy. Good for us, the 5 remaining users. Also, Quicklisp is not rolling-release,

I also used to use vim and liked it, was running emacs with evil and it was ok… Then I started to write my config from scratch and got used to chords. Later I tried boon, devil mode and meow but I just can’t get comfortable with mental over

My advice is to use a LLM for that - they are often surprisingly good at producing decent elisp. Maybe not in "publish on ELPA/MELPA" quality, but it can absolutely cover user needs. I know the ecosystem and can read elisp as

You already have - configuring is extending in emacs :) there is no magic, like in other editors - the same function calls, hooks, (re)definitions all the way down, to the c-core.

It is almost impossible to boot someone out of the EU - there is no protocol, nothing in the contracts. The EU as a construct is pretty much child of 90s - end of history and such nonsense. There are no safeguards and it is not reformable,

We could imagine it, but... First of all, not in the scope of current EU. I can't imagine Netherlands landing in one country with Romania or Hungary for reasons of politics and economics. Second, even if we take some countries with goo

I see EU as a failing project exactly because everyone can veto, so every decision is watered down until it means nothing. I can rather imagine that the current EU will be silently given up and something like EU-2 will be formed instead, in

The best part about a new app is that you have to transfer (or update, if you oscillate between apps on regular basis) the tasks and projects and will inevitably do a deep review.
