Can't believe they didn't name this Qolor

Great alternative for those who can't afford Emacs.

So people who work all the time increase their worth, while people who don't work actually lose wealth? I'm quite surprised

BMW beating Mercedes? That'll be the day :D

I'm sure this is very important and so on and so forth. But we really need to find some way of communicating this stuff more "bite sized". Every few days over the summer scienticians predict that all life in the universe will be violently exterminated if we don't tax meat - and it's probably true, but it's just too loud, and too boring.

Congratulations on beginning your spiritual journey. 99% of that stuff I handle in a Repl hooked into Clojure using Cider.

Looks like a great tool for those who still aren't using Emacs.

In this particular example, I was documenting my investigation into a defect. I was jotting down notes in Org-mode (1. note-taker). Those notes included SQL scripts which evaluate directly in the note-file (2. ejc-sql / replacing dbbeaver), letting the next user see which result I got from the queries and the ability to re-run the queries (C-c C-c). Some of the results returned large jsonb blobs, which were made readable with M-x json-prettify (3. replacing some online json prettifier). The git stuff (branching, making a pull request, updating it) was handled using Magit/forge (replacing git/lazygit). And ofc the code-editing replaces (5) whatever IDE you could otherwise use.

It's crazy that here in 2023, Emacs is still the absolute beast when it comes to developer productivity. I had a colleague review one of my workflows the other week and after a minute or so he said "Whoa, I would have been in 5 different tools by now".

If you're not into Emacs, I suggest you give it a whirl. For most development, nothing else will get you close to the joy and productivity that a well configured Emacs can.

Seems a little dark, considering that's almost every company on the planet.

Funny, to my mind it's much harder to build a beautiful performant demo than keep a website afloat...

Thats a fun idea, I think I might add a public API endpoint to ZimTik to spit out invoices. Would be a little simpler with a system that already has all customer details and task details.

I can definitely see their point. Asking the government to gain and mantain such a deep insight into market dynamics is bound to fail time and time again. Private monopolies never persist for very long, any attempt to fix that non-problem via governmental interference is bound to produce opposite results.

My apologies. My reworked comment is: You've done a great job, I'll give this a full playthrough! :)

Holy smokes: https://github.com/jkfran/killport/blob/main/src/linux.rs#L8...

You've done an incredible job buddy, so you get my upvote. As a bit of friendly feedback, the game feels like it's moving much too slow. Perhaps allow for a click to finish typing out the task instantly?

Well.... Unencrypted access to all the sites each username/email has an account with could be very damaging for some individuals.

Seems like a very small win for a lot of work.

I think the sun was actually invented for this purpose

Atlas Shrugged.

Thanks! I'll stick to my selfmade little box. Its easy to open if you know how, but if you don't you get a severe electric burn, that will at minimum make you scream loudly.

I would have liked to see the good options when not using the hotel safe.

Bless your heart for still using Common Lisp.

Clojure's webstack has actually made webdevelopment interesting again. Most of the other "innovations" in webdev has added tons of complexity without benefits that match.

Thank you sir, for putting in the work :)

Great idea, but it will require one planet per partition

Another idea too dangerous to leave unchecked, like Nuclear weapons or Biological warfare. I think most people will agree that a GAI can't be bargained with, tempted, bought or otherwise contained - We will be at its complete mercy regardless of any constraints we might think up.

What I would like to discuss, is how we can get humanity to a point where we can responsibly wield weapons that powerful without risking the glob. What does success look like, how can we get there and how long will it take?

Great to finally have some data. The tendency has been pretty clear for some years now, with more and more crazy ideologies spawning among the young.
