For me the thing is that emacs can be overwhelming. So focus on doing one task at a time. I still don't know the whole spacemacs interface. I know where my major mode keybinds are. I know how to deal with my .spacemacs. I know where to

I suppose it is fair to say speech of those in leadership positions with executive power is chilled by this. I think that's how its supposed to be though. Part of being in leadership is managing relationships with stakeholders. Part of

No because the goal is to have public safety organizations that don't have any of the personnel, historical lineage or goals of the police. By poor analogy, the goal isn't to clone facebook its to make a twitter,Instagram,telegram

People with guns lose fights too. Cold Arms are easier to assess and much easier to run from. Who said anything about a crime that's like asking in the current regime cocaine users what crime did they commit. I'm not suggesting ar

Well I didn't say you couldn't fight. My proposal includes confiscation. Assume very aggressive pursuit of criminals with an unlicensed firearms. Like multi-county dragnet with blocked roads. Like we get O(100) cops for one gun. M

Healthy skepticism is necessary for any technologist. However, you do have to use it in both directions. I know my biases are that I prefer new technology to old. So I pay attention to that. However, it is just as bad to reflexively consign

I see this kind of talking about stuff like the Unix way and existing conventions and programs. I almost have to ask myself when did we end up in a mausoleum. The Unix way is just a guideline from a time some folks wrote some code. A semina
