I see so much self-regard from journalists, so much concern about their own safety, their freedom, their economical well being, the competitive threats they feel from substack. I have yet to see a single article from any main stream journa

What they have to show for are giant bumps in the salaries of the top executives. The Mozilla foundation is a disgrace.

I am outrage at the outrage. Stallman has benefited humanity more on a single weekend that all these activists put together over the course of their miserable, sterile, toxic lives. Where is the petition to bring Stallman back? I'll si

Can you compare Synching and Dropbox? I have been a (paying) Dropbox user for many years but the product is not that good, especially on Linux. I would love a more reliable alternative.

First let me say I too support basic income, so to some degree we are in agreement. What I am really disturbed by is by the resentment I read into your argument. Productive people aren't imposing anything, in fact they are the reason w

For people who use rsync.net, is this something that can replace Dropbox for multi-machine synching? For all its flaws, Dropbox does allows me a semi-seamless transition between my laptop and my workstation.

If I understand you then, and I am not sure I do, you are saying you do not like discussing productivity because there are people who are less productive, for whatever reason, and they should not be penalized, in terms of access to resource

It is not misleading at all. You cannot find a human example because there is none yet, just as there was none for horses right until we found a way to replace almost all their production with machines. There is likely nothing magic protec

You might be right, though I do not have a good reference to compare Emacs + evil with. I think by default Emacs is a somewhat mediocre editor, the one thing that saves it is the unparalleled customizability, which should allow you to slowl

An interesting path is to go from regular emacs to emacs with vim bindings, which is what I did, also in around 14 days. Its painful, but good for you brain. And you get the best of both worlds, or so I like to think.

I am trying to see your point, though obviously I failed, and to be honest, I still do not fully understand where you are coming from. I do not see a problem with inequality. Its unavoidable. In fact, I am very happy that there are people o

Dropbox keeps it synced, that is its function. I simlink from ~/.emacs.d into Dropox. Its fairly seamless, you change it in one machine and it just pops up in the other.

by zarkov99 6y ago
Yes, keep your ~/.emacs.d in Dropbox. I have been doing that for I think 10 years or so. It works very well.

Well, yes, but this isn't a new problem and society long ago decided that sometimes it has to protect people from themselves. We prosecute drug dealers, we punish cigarette manufacturers, we enforce seat belt laws. I think we will be

So an appropriate and useful label for those individuals is "productive".

I feel for you. My wife and I had a hard time in the first months and our kids are much older. I do not think it can be done with infants.

I don't understand how you can say this. Is it not your experience that in almost any work context there will be a few individuals who will produce far more valuable work in far less time than others? It certainly is mine.

I see mostly pros in agile, especially compared to the waterfall methods it replaced. Of course there is no methodology that cannot be wrecked by stupidity and pretense. Done well I have seen the following benefits from sprints and standups

Seems like once again we are stuck with an overly complex and un-ergonomic design that is going to burden every single C++ programmer for a decade, until someone gets fed up and fixes it. Just like chrono, just like random, just like std::

This happens all the time. Many axioms people take for granted have been arrived at by simple osmosis coupled with a desire to conform. Truly independent thought can lead you to conclusions that are simply unacceptable in polite company. Th

Sometimes, maybe even most times, one is more interested in the interviewee than the intervier, not matter how brave and righteous the interviewer might believe himself to be.

What utter nonsense. Shapiro is just a conservative pundit the only thing that sets him apart is that he is very smart and, relatively speaking, intellectually honest. His greatest crime is not kowtowing to the left orthodoxy that is so dom

Maybe C++ could be considered a product, but that did not seem to be what the OP meant.

He as written many useful books and identified a core set of principles for good design. That is much harder than being a cog in the building of a successful product.

Really? Is that you criteria for whether someone knows something worthwhile about programming? What did Stroustrup create? How about Dijsktra? Tannenbaun? Herb Sutter? There is more than one way to contribute to the advancement of the state
