If I could get you access to a spacecraft a million miles away, would you stay there and never come back?

You're overcomplicating this. If RMS and his lackeys were so hellbent on ridding prop OS's from the world, they could move marginally closer to that goal by simply deleting w32* ns* and android* from GNU Emacs. That they instead

Your litany of butthurt actually bolsters my opinion of the bozos at emacs-devel, who I've long criticized for hypocritically advancing emacs on proprietary os's despite their ostensible mission to destroy them.

I wish I could. I'm also rather curious how "cave men" lived.

Sapiens is a bait-and-switch. It starts out great promising at least a hypothetical account of early man, then begs off saying 30,000 years is too long ago, and burns 300 pages on essentially wokeism. Bryson's book is great, but it&#x

employment is apparently the highest achievement a person can aspire to Your words, not mine. But gene propagation is up there, and steady wages is a sufficient if not necessary condition for that to happen.

That he burned 11,000 words on his text editor tells you why emacs users are unemployable.

I'd say the opposite. Every time a guy crushes me, I flip the board over and call him a fuckwit.

I think all chess fans can recall Ivanchuk's recent mortifying defeat at Naroditsky's lightning-quick hands at World Blitz. Just goes to show no matter how devastating the loss, someone, perhaps even your vanquisher, is having an

If life could be measured in potential moves considered, he lived several lifetimes. Sad to see such a force of nature expire so soon. Condolences to the Russian chick and their kid.

You say a lot of dumb ____ (but to be fair, I said a lot more when I was your age), but your disdain for transient is on the money. I'm a satisfied magit user, but transient is a blatant UX error and a confounded implementation. Some

Dayum, given Transient's prickliness (I always feel like I'm walking on eggshells when I'm in it) I've never dared to C-s. But I tried this, and yeah, the transient reverts to a plain text buffer, and you're left i

It's 2025. Code is worthless and becoming more so. The distinction of free versus open-source is moot.

In a given day, you're getting as much work done while also putting in solid YouTube and HN time. I'd say AI is making good on its promise.

Yes, a thousand times yes. In stackoverflow, both questioner and answerer spends a few paragraphs on their life story before getting to the point. AI will not only happily listen to your life story, it will almost certainly link some part

As in chess, stock trading, and combat aviation, people at first believed humans ought to curate computer-generated strategies. Then it become obvious the humans were unnecessary.

Consistently? You don't know that. There are just as many successful one-man shows -- with the important caveat that they lack redundancy.

I'm semi-retired now, but I spent most of my career at a Bell Labs-caliber place (I was the dumbest person there) before "PR" and "code review" became part of the lexicon, and yes, everyone was good enough not to me

You might as well go into HR. Everyone knows reviewing other people's PRs is like nurturing their kids at the expense of your own.

Every company depends on 3-5 guys for their competitive advantage. While the other thousand guys are interchangeable, they're just as necessary (and needful) to the company's survival.

You ever have a user who pines for this or that feature, and when you tell him it's already implemented, he'll change the goalposts in some trivial way? It's not solutions we love, it's the warm fuzzy narcissism of comp
