I worked on several open source projects both voluntarily or for work. The recognition doesn't really need to be financial. If people out there are using what you are building, contributing back, appreciating it -- it gives you motivat

More people use Linux, more recognition Linux itself get which directly or indirectly gets some more donations, developers etc. With AI, the link is not clear at all. Its just pure consumption. There is no recognition.

Yes, totally agree that its not always applicable. But I think there is still lot of scope to offload some operation (e.g. magit operations like status, commit, streaming search result into minibuffer in ivy-mode). Having a dedicated protoc

Emacs is my editor/IDE of choice and consider myself power-user. However, I'm no expert in its internals or elisp. I understand that things are built with single-thread execution in mind over decades. However, I think things still

I think people want multi-user because most people still need their laptops for work (or hobbies sometimes). Otherwise, I'd be on my phone (for casual messaging, media consumption). iPad is mostly just sitting around most of time, so i

Three patterns I've noticed on the open-source projects I've worked on: 1. AI slop PRs (sometimes giant). Author responds to feedback with LLM generated responses. Show little evidence they actually gave any thought of their own t

LSP support isn't great. It keeps improving however. Used to get quite a few crashes. And I think background indexing still doesn't work.

I've not had any issues with 4k display. Mac does handle monitors with different DPIs well, but not really a issue for me. Most hardware I use also just works great. Gaming is great now as well. The only reason I can't completely

It may or may not work out. Once you are not actively involved, its not per your vision anymore anyway. And at the end of the day, if you don't think e.g. in this case its very hard compete with Adobe and I really don't want to ri

There is citation fine + tow fee + administrative fee + storage fee. https://www.sfmta.com/getting-around/drive-park/towed-vehicl...

Fines are big source of revenue for MTA. Citation would be $110 something, and if it gets towed its additional $700 for first X hours and then more later.

I totally agree with you on that, but then why have this program at first place then? I'm just saying that given its SFMTA -- if the tow truck will take say 30 min, they will probably try to wait and issue the ticket later right befor

Out those 15,000 employees how many were on VISA? They are acting like all 15k employees were US citizens and were replaced by h-1b employees. Quite convenient to show the data such that it serves a narrative and hide the details.

I agree that H1B abuse should be fixed. Its also bad for other H1Bs which have the skill and didn't abuse the system (which many of them are). Maybe this 100k thing will fix it and maybe this wont. My main complain with this administra

>> IMO the problem is that H1B employees are stuck at the employer for the duration of their green card process, and so end up both paid lower and unable to escape abuse. This is not true. Typically you want to stay until i140 which f
