This post might be a bit basic for the HN demographic.

There's a command called M-x lsp-doctor that will tell you if you meet all the performance requirements for LSP mode. Among those is emacs 27 compiled with native json support (you can build emacs 27 without native json).

The Emacs community should start by perfecting lsp-mode so that it can compete with VS Code in terms of functionality. That will simultaneously keep power users from switching AND bring in people from other "easy to use" editors that lack such functionality.

Yes but should be base global policy on skepticism? Especially when the stakes are so high?

Wow this is genius! I find that it's easier for me to accomplish tasks if I understand the science behind how they work. So keeping this article in mind should be super helpful for me.

I switched from helm to ivy-counsel-swiper earlier this year and I haven't looked back.

Right. And in the second half of my comment I explained why your reasoning is faulty.

You must think the natural and artificial worlds as being self-similar. Think them as one continuous, self-organizing process.

Bingo. Self-organization, in a strong sense, is the process of cosmological evolution.

It is possible to accept everything you say except for the last sentence.

Technology is the result of the evolutionary process of the universe. If the process resembles its own result, that shouldn't come as a surprise.

Exactly. If you get rid of the police, the wealthy elite will just hire thugs to protect their stuff.

> The police are the ones who are practically preventing the redistribution of the wealth.

Policing prevents, and makes possible, all sorts of things. It is a function of law. By abolishing policing you throw out the baby (the law) with the bathwater (laws that facilitate the concentration of wealth).

> we’re witnessing an unprecedented wealth transfer right now in the US

Indeed. And it must be regarded as infinitely baffling that everyone is shouting "abolish the police" instead of "redistribute the wealth" ...

There's no focused argument here. Mere polemic.

> the evolutionary argument...rests of [sic] a big mistake about what nervous systems, immune systems, genetic regulatory nets, etc., evolve to do. This is not transmit information from one place to another, or be "flexible" in some abstract sense, but cause actions which enhance the fitness of the organism they happen to be in.

What reasons does the author have for maintaining these ideas? Naturally, none are given.

It's just a bunch of disconnected opinions.

It's true that he got a lot of attention after he appeared on FOX, but there's more to the story. You can read about it (and many other examples of cancel culture) in the controversial book "The Coddling of the American Mind": https://www.thecoddling.com/

It depends what industry you work in and how big the company is. The worst is higher education. Endless scandals over nothing. The most notable example is Bret Weinstein: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bret_Weinstein#Evergreen_State...

This is probably a bit pedantic but the etymology of the word 'recursion' suggests that the inner islands and lakes would have to form as part of a unified formative process (current), such that the inner islands and lakes were "caused" by the same process operating at a smaller scale. Without such a process, I'm tempted to call this article "Nested Islands and Lakes."

Is there a word for ostensibly punctilious lists that somehow also epitomize cultural diversity?

Keep in mind that Zizek has placed the word 'postmodern' in heavy scare quotes here. When I read this passage (it's from Ticklish Subject, I think?) I understand Zizek to be critiquing the pseudo-permissiveness of neoliberalism rather than French theory. (Zizek is a hardcore Lacanian, after all.)

This is super helpful! I really think you're onto something. Thanks. :)

Isn't OkCupid for dating? Bumble has a mode specifically for finding friends.

> Do you have anyone in your life that you could ask for feedback?

Unfortunately, I don't. It's a catch-22.

> It's also worth considering if there are other groups of people that you may not be coming in to contact with who might be more interested in the same things as you.

I'm really interested in philosophy. Since January I've been using Bumble to try to find people who share this interests, but I haven't had any luck yet.

I have high-functioning autism. Does anyone have some suggestions for making and keeping friends?

When I meet a friend, things seem to go really well at first, and then my friend seems to slowly get bored of the interactions we have, and after a couple months I just don't hear from them again. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Is there a scientific way to find out?

The idea is that they will accept significantly lower pay and do the job well enough to get by.

Then again, what's wrong with that? Theoretically it just levels the playing field.

The real inequality is higher up the food chain anyway...

But in most cases depression is a natural response to the difficulties of life. It's like when your immune system triggers an inflammatory response to infection. It's painful but natural; and the cause is external. Willpower can't cure depression any more than it can reduce inflammation. But in the case of mental illness, the external agent is socioeconomic hardship, family dysfunction, loss of a loved one, etc.

> "and you can't change society, so you're stuck like this"

I think OP meant that psychologists/psychiatrists don't recognize the social nature of mental illness at all. Just because you can't change society doesn't mean you should tell patients that they can lift themselves out of depression through sheer willpower, healthy eating habits, and exercise. Those things can help but if you don't know how you're going to pay rent next month and you've got two kids, you're going to have serious anxiety.

It's called black and white thinking. This side is good, and that side is bad. The hallmark of a weak intellect.

Fair point.

The purpose of the quarantine was to prevent the hospitals from being overwhelmed, right? In my state we now have more than enough resources. Why are we still locked down as if it were day 1? I really don't get it at all.
