As an Emacs user since the Nineties and holder of the view that Emacs _is_ my operating system, I simply can't relate to this on any level. Now, I won't discriminate against the se…

I saw someone post about Autology in HN last year and found the project interesting. I only had a chance to re-visit it and found this Lambda Days talk on the code. I stick to Emac…

Reading the article from the perspective of a non-mathematician the line that rang true for me was "I realized they derived joy, satisfaction, and meaning from the long journey tow…

I also appreciate discontinuities and while I won't comment on the data in the paper itself without cross-referencing, I will say that a couple of these examples hold true for me f…

The overall sentiment expressing the growing gap between software needs and hardware capabilities is sound. This is where FOSS projects shine who put deep thought into providing th…

Bedrock is the only Emacs "customization" project I've actually tried out since my GNU Emacs journey started in the Nineties. I am very simple in my setup and it was only in 2018 I…

This open access study presents an application-specific instruction set processor (ASIP) design for the Kyber, Saber, and NewHope algorithms based on transport triggered architectu…

The COVID-19 pandemic shows us how crucial patient empowerment can be in the healthcare ecosystem. Now, we know that scientific advancement, technology integration, and patient emp…

Definitely! I'm sure you've seen it, but check out his publications page. Quantum cryptography is where I find his ideas most interesting. http://users.cms.caltech.edu/~vidick/publ…

Even Kurzweil's updated ideas and projections in The Singularity is Near from around 2005 still make assumptions of humanity having a longer technology maturation period than 100 y…

While I'm not totally on board with outlooks on a technological singularity a la Kurzweil and peers, what does it mean that there is no real representation of that idea here? For e…

I agree with the core idea here, of developers reducing use of energy-pulling hardware and software resources. However, to both get interest moving and to ensure future participati…

What kind of project are you working on with Arc? Or are you just having fun for now ;-)

Keep in mind that Arc is the start of something with long-term goals; further, it's part of a lifecycle that didn't necessarily start with Arc but with the first Lisp. PG points to…

My one major concern not outlined above is that of responsibility to end users who may not have resources with which to adjust when large repos are retired. Case in point: We assum…

Years ago I was looking for projects to join, searching "help wanted" postings on sites like GNU Savannah [1] and Gna! [2]. I joined a few projects on Gna! and while they fizzled, …

If you take a look at the code for HN written in Arc, you can compare it against other Lisp dialects. I point to this as it is possibly the most widely-used and familiar applicatio…
