I use emacs to take notes, yes. I haven't seen any other tool that has similar features for that purpose. But more to the point, I don't want to have to justify every tiny aspect of my development environment. Does gitpod provid

How does this work when I want to take personal notes on source code, not push them anywhere? For those who'd ask why anybody would want or should be allowed such a thing: There's little distinction to me between thoughts in my h

Not sure when you tried it, but as a newcomer I have the impression packaging has got a lot better in the past few years. I didn't have the experience you described (not yet anyway!).

Only if we let them. There are all kinds of feedback cycles going on. Neither of these two are rational: 1. There are no ways to correct the problem you describe 2. The problem will correct itself without individuals and institutions makin

The risk of long COVID sticking around in immiserating form long-term once you have it is unknown, but the risk of getting long COVID (defined along the lines of at least a few COVID symptoms sticking around for a few months) is much higher

One point is that the consequences of getting COVID are likely to become less serious over time as prevalence is controlled (via better vaccines, we hope, masks etc., if we're not fatalistic), better drugs are found. Another important

Curious why the downvote? Perhaps because "always worried me more than the risk of death"? If so: this is because the evidence always seems to have said that the risk of long COVID has been at least an order of magnitude higher t
