    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 s…

    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 yo…

    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 ev…

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

    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 doe…

    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 clueles…

    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 i…

    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, telepor…

    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 …

    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 rea…

    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 i…

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

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