This is extremely helpful. I have never considered the possibility that there could be a better method to deal with emulation than visual commands. You have no idea how much this h…

I don't usually respond to snide comments but this one is very easy to disprove so I will make an exception. There are a lot of them active all over the world. CNT is a great examp…

In order to bring understanding to this discussion, we can separate unions into two types: vertical unions and horizontal unions. Vertical unions are hierarchal. They have administ…

You are conflating JLR and the suppliers. They are different businesses. JLR has enough money and will be fine. That's not the issue. The unions are talking about the small busines…

I don't well understand this. How is clojure more efficient than common lisp? Would you explain further?

Seems like a problem with the client rather than the protocol.

So you are saying it is better if the candidate lies. Otherwise you will be forced to reject him because there might be a possibility that the problem was him. Seems like you are h…

He Is talking about a worker cooperative. You can search information about current ones if you are truly interested in how they work. I agree with him that software engineers shoul…

Reality is often complicated and ideology fails to fit everything in a neat little box. So, it could be that central planning is good for some use cases and bad for others. Likewis…

China has central planning.

I would argue that it is way easier to build a business around GPL licence than MIT. I think the subject at hand is different from what you are writing. What you are saying doesn't…

Maybe us, animals, don't have an instinct of survival. That's a bit of an assumption. Maybe we have another very strong instinct and survival is just the observed side effect but n…

This is the case with most software "foundation". As much as I disagree with Ayn Rand on a lot of things, she did make an important observation. Parasites will be attracted to high…

The biggest issue for me is how slow guix is when doing guix pull. Also, the amount of space taken is unacceptable. Several times I had my HD filled with guix garbage.

Here's what I have found regarding this: "Thanks F3nd0! There are currently no plans to switch to a less permissive license. And we're perfectly happy using proprietary services li…

I have a friend who stopped being a dev and went into management because of this practice. Makes sense, he is older and has two daughters. I even considered leaving the field mysel…

Ok, I get that from someone coming from vscode but Vim certainly takes more than one hour to grok. My point is Emacs+evil-mode is close to indistinguishable from Vim. I know this b…

I don't understand. Why not just use Emacs with evil-mode?

Lets say it isn't a TV but a malicious person trying to cause damage to your system. It is a security issue on the side of the OS. On the side of TV, it is also bad. Therefore, bot…
