"Some of the ideas found in these distributions may well merit inclusion in Emacs, but that does not happen." 1. Which ideas are they referring to exactly? Can't upstream something if you don't know what they want... 2.

Thank you for clarifying this for me. In that case, the rexml gem situation sounds like a demotion...

My thoughts: - RBS: meh... might get more useful in the future (in 2-5 years maybe). - Ractor: Wohooo! I'm writing a DAG library where I was thinking of implementing something like this, good to know I can use it and get real paralleli

I will do that, but beforehand, I want to do some research, this thread being part of that. Also, I am sure I'm not the only person in the world that has struggled with this, that's why I asked for concrete examples of employment

I am alos, neither a lawyer, nor a UK citizen yet, but I work in the UK, as a temporary resident. There are a lot of details that I don't know about how employment works but I am slowly learning them. One thing that is true regardless

Basically what I want is to have some clauses like the following: 13.8. $COMPANY and any Group Company will not attempt to claim copyright, intellectual property rights, nor patent right to any creation done outside of working hours (al

Here is what my contract (UK employment) currently states: 13. Intellectual Property Rights 13.1. During your employment, you will promptly disclose and deliver to us for our exclusive use and benefit or the use and benefit of any ot

I want to go to my HR/Legal departament and demand they change clauze 13 in my contract (the part about copyright/IP) to say XX instead (this is an UK contract). What exactly would XX say so it's legaly unambiguous that I kee

The recruiter that brought me to the UK from Romania found me by using some weird github search project that told him I was one of the top ruby developers in the country, based on stars I had on some open source redmine plugins I worked on

Knowing how to use raw SQL has been a major differentiator for me in tech interviews (I've been told by employers). It seems people jump to learning web frameworks and they either skip this part or worse, are told they don't need

Reading is faster than video watching, at least for me, so yes! Some things are better explained visually though, for example when I started learning flash in highschool I watched video tutorials because I needed to learn the UI, and learn

True, some more daring people go to google and search for "adblock" when I tell then they should install an adblocker, and I have to correct them and pitch "ublock origin", and that's when the defensive stance happe

I've installed wikijs for a small team of developers at their request. The biggest selling point for this piece of software, compared to showing them 5 other alternatives, is that it looks good, it's eye candy. And that is exactly

Only 13%? (Just kidding!) Serious question now: how do we get this number to rise to 50%? How about 80% or 95%? I'm been on a quest for a long time now to convince people I know to install ublock origin on their browsers, but it seems

Here's a one liner: ruby -r irb -e 'IRB.send(:easter_egg)' And in Docker you get a static image, but sometimes, randomly you get the dynamic one... docker run --rm -it ruby:2.7.1-alpine ruby -r irb -e 'IRB

My company was in the process of allowing people to use Linux laptops. I was one of the people in the "Testing Group" and most issues were solved. If it was not for some key people on this project leaving the company and the pande

Maybe I'm weird, but when I bought my current laptop 2 years ago I specifically looked for one with a numpad, as I occasionally need to insert numbers into spreadsheets (working on replacing this workflow but I have a feeling it's

This seems to be an online service, not an offline app. While I understand its usecase, it's not what I'm personally looking for.

If that was an offline app, and especially not google owned I'd use it.

To be honest I don't really care about my phone's contacts app as I almost never use it. But if it works for you then go ahead.

1. Yes, one note per contact. 2. Yes, if I don't remember something about someone, I'll look them up by name and read the notes. It's not tedious for me as I have less than 100 contacts that I manage this way. To give you a d

I have nowhere near the number of contacts you do but something that helped was having a section in my notes app dedicated to them where I write as many details as possible, like if they are a friend, relatives, coworker, how we met, their

Barely done this for a month now so the process is still young, but my plan is to keep around only the relevant snippets and update them in case anything changes. As to how often I review them, or the backlog, basically whenever I have time

I'm really amazed this sort of functionality can be implemented in such a nice and clean manner. Your presentation is mind blowing! Just out of curiosity (please don't consider this as a feature request, more like a thought exerci
