So I have a question about the audio at the beginning of the video. How low is LEO and how much atmosphere is there? You know, the whole sci-fi movie trope with lasers making noise in space?

That's fascinating. Is it possible for you to share more details? Industry? Tech stack? If your project started 30 years ago, that means DOS, or Network or maybe one of the IBM behemoths? Then the maintenance includes pacing OS updates

This is really cool, thanks for sharing. What's wild to me is that the program started in the late 90s and only now is the F35 fleet up to originally specified? operational capacity. Since then I graduated high school, got a degree, go

Is there a YouTube API tool? Would love to create a YouTube playlist so that I can watch this on the TV.

As a user, after using emacs for the past couple of years this is where emacs shows its age vs the “newcomers”. Every once in a while the whole UI is blocked when a long running task is invoked. Still, I love using emacs.

Wait so the kill switch is really just a suggestion that is then handled in the card”s firmware? I guess that’s how things like cameras status led is compromised?

Stand ups suck, long live stand ups. It's like any other meeting, signal to noise ratio is quite low, but what's the alternative? I love remote work, hope to never go back into an office, but humans are social animals. I feel like

This caught my eye, total employees - 2022: 190,234 - 2023: 182,502 Total increase in revenue of 10 billion. Not sure what conclusion to draw from this, but being a software engineer I found employment count interesting. Though 5% change in

Yeah, still use Linux, vi, Ruby, etc.

It’s a tool you use for hours on end though. Optimizing it would compound over years and decades, no? Chefs sharpen their knives, right?

I’ve learned “slow is smooth and smooth is fast” from shooting sports, but I find it applies equally well to most (all?) areas of life. When I started driving, I used to speed to the next stop light, change lanes frequently. I stopped doing

I just used mc to transfer some pictures from my Mac to my Linux nas for later backup with rclone. I haven’t found a better paradigm for dealing with files than the two way pane. Also enabling lynx like motion makes for really quick navigat

I must be getting old. Even though I grew up on TNG I can’t imagine talking to my computer. Maybe because Siri at all have been such a disappointment.

You already have that with inreach or Zoleo devices. Of course once it’s integrated into phones it’ll be much more convenient.

What's the best way to label wiring? I used my sweet label maker till I realized that it prints on heat sensitive paper and the label eventually fade out.

Layoffs and offshoring. of course I have a personal stake in this :) I'm not saying that there's no talent overseas, precisely the opposite. Offshoring has been tried since the 90s and it works to some extent. I expect (hope) thin

Best of luck. I hope there's a path forward where open source can provide a reasonable income stream. I maintain a couple of open source package for emacs -- it's a labour of love. I'm happy to help folks with their issues, b

I've got a treadmill under my work desk. I notice that when I'm walking I can focus on meetings and actually process auditory information way better. Makes me wonder how I would've done in school if walking was an option. I

how do you not lose context? sometimes when I come back to my desk I have no clue what I was working on or what the problem is.

I like https://everynoise.com/ for this as well. It tells me French 79 is "French indietronica" whatever that is. You can branch out from here though.

What do you mean by "configuring emacs"? Despite what the article says, emacs is imminently useable right out of the box. Though you're not wrong about emacs being a black hole :) Critisizing sophisticated tools though, that&

Sometimes packages don’t come with sane defaults. Or something conflicts somewhere. Im tempted to plunder doom config, but I suspect it’s not straight forward.
