You can maybe, trust the user to handle it's own certificate in their own devices? Though I admit requiring attestation is probably a good default.

Because it increases US workers relative (to other countries) wage. Though with current automation levels this may be a lesser problem.

This is beautiful, incredibly sane, and awesome reference material. There's no way I'd use a 3500 lines init.el or most of the extras, but somehow I feel like a good chunk of the stuff here should be upstreamed if we one day consider it reasonable to change default behaviors in a major update.

False, cf. ancient Athens.

This is good and means no one can impersonate you using your phone number, but doesn't solve the recurring costs issue, you still need to buy a new number when someone registers yours, and every financial transaction puts you at more privacy risk. And is terrible UX, imagine having to add your contacts new numbers every other week.

And what happens when the next guy buys that same number and registers on Signal?

Phone numbers are recurring costs. And to keep a truly private one you must keep paying without ever disclosing personal info and that is really hard. Signal is a privacy nightmare for long term use.

We definitely need more humility. For starters, not to casually dismiss beliefs held by millennia due to some artifacts without even specifying them.

On paper it should be a good thing

Not really. Most people have terribly low time preference. Democracy for example is a very bad idea when you account for that (read Hoppe for a detailed explanation). Public company ownership is much better because it doesn't suffer from one vote per person, but still susceptible to much of the same management problems, specially in a society that already favors lower time preference by other means.

FWIW, all of those links compare Rust to languages created before 1980, and are all projects largely and unusually independent of the crates ecosystem and where dynamic linking does not matter. If you're going to use a modern language anyway, you should do due diligence and compare it with something like Swift as the ladybird team is doing right now, or even a research language like Koka. There is a huge lack of evidence for Rust vs other modern languages and we should investigate that before we lock ourselves into yet another language that eventually becomes widely believed to suck.

Disservice? Rust is taking over the world while they still have nothing to show basically (Servo, the project Rust was created for, is behind ladybird of all things). Every clueless developer and their dog thinks Rust is like super safe and great, with very little empirical evidence still after 19 years of the language's existence.

Zig people want Zig to "win". They are appearing on Hacker News almost every day now, and for that purpose this kind of things matters more than the language's merits themselves. I believe the language has a good share of merits though, far more than Rust, but it's too early and not battle tested to get so much attention.

Author is definitely correct in pointing out the incentives for companies to buy hardware. What the article misses is that there is in fact a reasonable economic incentive to not invest in software even if LLMs were not an economic bubble. It is that every single company is developing the same thing, there are many of those who even develop them as open source, and the ones that are closed as well as any company who would hire this guy, have a bunch of industrial spies inside anyway. Buying hardware may increase your moat, but developing software just rises the sea level.

Definitely not it's purpose. Avy can be used to select a word, line, or region. One action is move to it. But it can also, in it's own words, copy, yank, zap to, transpose, teleport, kill, mark, ispell, org-refile, and custom actions.

Just type C-h t (help-with-tutorial) and work your way through it.

It's more about allowing a-library-fits-all than forcing it. You don't have to ask for io, you just should, if you are writing a library. You can even do it the Rust way and write different libraries for example for users who want or don't want async if you really want to.

Why didn't crates.io maintainers apply the patch themselves? NPM does meddle with packages when an incident happens like they did with left-pad.

If you're having to use Caps lock as control, modal editing is probably worth it. The one thing that makes non-modal editing far superior to modal, for me, is how easy it is to reach my Control key, as the palm of my left hand is always hovering over it and I learned to press it with my palm without having to ever move my fingers or hitting the wrong key.

I think the vim model in particular is great in terms of becoming muscle memory in like, a few months. It saves a few keystrokes compared to Emacs specially if you're counting Control as a key press. Navigating is a tad nicer with hjkl being next to each other. Having to press Esc after each edit just sucks though.

It's one of the best designed packages I've seen. Except 'repeat' that was horribly broken last time I checked but can be fixed by using the repeat-fu package. Manages to cleanly implement the kakoune model in an incredibly flexible manner and without interfering with anything else.

I still have my meow config, but currently disabled. The kakoune model is definitely what you're looking for if your desire is to edit text with the fewest keystrokes, it's far better than vim. I think the vim model is better, though, because motion-as-selection is fundamentally exhaustive, and in vim, by the time you realize what you're going to do, you go into operator pending mode (e.g. pressing d) and the next keystroke also feels obvious, while in meow you may have to reset the selection by doing some movement.

What works best for me is no modal editing at all. Definitely requires the most keystrokes, but that's not a limiting factor for me. It just feels nice never having to think about modes or constantly pressing Esc, and instead navigating with a mixture of default Emacs keybinds and great, joyous to use packages like Avy, smartparens, tempel and combobulate. Meow's KEYPAD is also not really helpful, it does save some keystrokes but doesn't make anything easier to remember or reach for. For the commands that it is worse, it is much worse.

Stuff is so Orwellian that it really looks like a joke for those who do not know what USA Freedom Act means.

I have AI accounts and sling prompts all day long some days

This wasn't hard to guess. Beware of your interactions with LLMs creeping in when talking to humans. Best of luck! And I suggest you take heed of Simon's advice.

Is it like ledger's effective dates? https://ledger-cli.org/doc/ledger3.html#Effective-Dates

FWIW, GnuCash supports multiple backends, sqlite, a couple of popular sql servers, and I believe the default backend is XML.

Release notes would make a better submission. https://hledger.org/relnotes.html#hledger-150

LLM prompts tend to be generated like that, though.

I think this will be very successful. The Rust community seems very hellbent in achieving success at all costs, this includes making every software permissively licensed, while a lot of foundational software is still copyleft. This will likely trigger Gresham's law soon, and the fact that the community is pushing the security argument forward, which is very difficult to measure, is also very powerful, whether security may be a legitimate concern or it's a think of the children situation.

I use emacs' prettify-symbol mode to turn every language's function keyword into ʩ. Don't think I incurred in God's wrath just yet.

For me it was stable 120fps on firefox at 2200 and 60fps at 3200, using 200W in my RX 6750XT.

Chromium hit below 60fps at around 4000 and below 30fps at 6000 but used my integrated intel GPU all the time.

Indeed, that is a common occurrence that called Jevons Paradox.

I think it's only new features that would only exist on macOS that get pushback

Not even that anymore, it seems. https://xenodium.com/emacs-send-to-aka-macos-sharing-merged-...

Aren't "sharing platforms" and "social media" the same thing?

Meta claimed in FTC v. Meta that they are indeed the same.

How exactly is Linux becoming popular going to make my EXWM setup suck? To be fair, if it does get a large market share, some company is probably going to take MS's role and make a distro that sucks but many people use. But that shouldn't be an issue to existing users unless they take over something like a major DE and you insist on using that for some reason. For IT people, having the possibility of running a decent shell and sshd in most desktops would be terrific.
