In the case of Facebook, whole societies and the psychology of the masses have been negatively effected. So them being in a strong position harms society and individuals alike. - In the case of Apple we are talking about a company that domi

This sounds so familiar. Running an old OS that gets no updates and patches because of an app that relies on an old php version, also the fear of migration costs and an open ended project that never finishes. This is so wide spread it becom

A little OT: The guy (Derek Taylor) who mentions the other guy with the 2m videos has some excellent videos about Emacs.

Wonderful books! They had so much wit and were fun to read. I really enjoyed reading those Perl books. Maybe they were in the spirit of the Perl founder, who was/is a linguist and did not just write technical books, but almost technica

Ah, it's you Mickey! Got your book. Excellent! Thank you for writing it, and thank you for all the valuable stuff you put out there re learning Emacs.

Didn't know about that, although I have been using Emacs for over ten years! Tried `M-x ielm`, `(help) RET`, wow! Will explore it. Been only using the scratch buffer and `C-x C-e` to evaluate sexpressions.

I was an avid user of outliner apps myself (Netmanage's ECCO Pro some twenty years ago, later OmniOutliner on my Mac, and recently Emacs/Org or Roam Research), until I realized that trying to distill my ideas down to the core stru

What no one seem to mention is the mentality that software should cost almost nothing. The other day I researched an alternative to MS Word for Mac and found Nisus Writer Pro. Immediately fell in love with it and did not hesitate a second b

They wrote this in two months? In assembly? Impressive! I wonder if they used code generators or wrote plain assembly?

I am wondering if this kind of manipulation / intervention also takes place in comment sections of online newspapers.

Now that‘s some good news today. - FB is toxic, for individuals and societies alike. The sooner they diminish, the better off we are.

(Todo)Lists are a very useful tool, when used effectively. They need to be accompanied by a list of principles though. Here are a few: - Review them regularly to keep them current. Pull out your lists whenever you have the time. Add new sub

I agree. I like tinkering myself. But then why mention avoiding spending a hundred dollars for a new device, but spending a couple of hours as if those hours are worth less than said amount of money.

I aggree that the situation the author describes is unacceptable. But I am wondering why the author does not value his personal time. I can‘t help but think of opportunity costs. He spends a lot of time writing this article, reverse enginee

Yesterday we read about Apple suspending an account[1]. Today this. These companies can do as they please, and the consumer has no way to defend. This is not acceptable. [1]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29446529

Apple support is not really helpful. They give you general advice, for the layman, and not really profound tips for how to resolve an issue. No matter if you have a payment issue or a technical issue. Just to give an example: I was using my

After spending endless hours in learning the ins and outs of Emacs and starting to learn Elisp, I come to realize that Emacs‘ tinkering-to-doing ratio is too high. I need tools that get out of my way. Emacs can get a hobby or an obsession.

My guess is they spend a ton of money to promote their product. Many influencers on Youtube (adressing students) make several promoted videos a month (!) about how to use Notion. They have a ton of money to spend. Their latest valuation was

Thank you for mentioning FastAPI. Looks awesome. Recently I started using Flask, as Django feels like too much overhead for smaller projects. FastAPI looks like a good alternative to Flask.
