Cal Newport lays out a pretty good criticism of these types of offices in Deep Work .

This is super cool. I'd love to see it in a vintage style like that of old T-O maps!

Would the CLA makes it easier to move away from Google and transfer the ownership to a new organization (if Google is willing)?

That was fast. In these situations, what do OSM and the like do? Add an alternative name? Ignore the change?

> Very interesting change. I’ve yet to see CSS more than 20 levels deep. Good to put a stop to such insanity. I wonder what made them attempt to support such deep nesting in the first place.

If suggestion algorithms cannot be swayed by payment, sponsorship etc., people will probably try to boost visibility via numbers (i.e. bots). I wonder whether such a website would benefit from the invite-only model of lobste.rs.

For people who use the phone for everything, this is great. But I hope we will start to see at least some smaller options return to the market for those who just want a simple communication device / have small hands. I recently booted

It's probably because, unfortunately, anthropologists don't play much.

30.2 is the currect release, but I expect that it will be updated shortly after Emacs 31.1 is officially released. If you're _really_ impatient, it seems that there are nightly builds here: < https://emacsformacos.com&#x2

Agreed! I've been building from source for now, and I can't wait to return to the MacPorts version as soon as it is available.

For those who use Emacs on macOS, I highly recommend upgrading to 31.1 ASAP since several memory leaks have been fixed by Przemysław Alexander Kamiński [1] et al. [1]: Author of "Emacs: The macOS Bug" (< https://xlii.

I'm not an expert in Magit by any means, but I bet there's a way to accomplish this in only a few keystrokes.

I've often wondered when Emacs would become the term used to describe hyper-personalized software. While it is true that LLMs give access to software that fits like a glove, it seems to me that there is still a glaring difference -- at

I wonder what sort of monstrous power would be unleashed if Google used Plan9 as a foundation.

I agree re. LaTeX. I've tried Typst for some complex projects, and it's just not quite there yet. ConTeXt on the other hand ... chef's kiss .

I've heard the same re. the Irish. Regarding the Novus Ordo, I believe that the key document from Vatican II (Sacrosanctum Concilium) still preferred Latin as the dominant language in liturgy, while readings etc. stayed in the vernacul

Thanks for sharing this! My wife and I have been interested in refreshing our Latin from high school, and we've been looking for good resources. We've also toyed with the idea of learning it as a living language, which seems to be

Happy to share! There's nothing quite as distracting as a blurry scan of a chant/hymn. You might be interested in an online editor [1] for small items. (I haven't used it much, but it seems good.) [1]: https://www.

If anyone is interested in playing around with this wonderful tool, there's an online editor (edit: no affiliation). [1] It is much more responsive than compiling in TeX. [1]: https://www.sourceandsummit.com/editor&#x2F

I'm not sure why this is on Hacker News, and I'm even less sure why the papacy is so important to MAGA right now. In any case, perhaps we will soon see the return of Catholic persecution in the U.S. due to "conflicting"

Djot is great so far, and I'm eager to switch to it from Pandoc Markdown since editor support for Pandoc Markdown is lacking. Looking at the repo's issues, I'm a bit concerned that it's already fragmented since some enth

I wonder if I'll ever see the day when Emacs's several terminal implementations are unified. How nice would it be if one could use term.el with libvterm, libghostty etc. as a backend? On another note, as a light terminal user, I&#
