Ok, its ruby, doesn't do ldap replace abook or plain text, but it does have a built-in website with an asciinema demo cast :) .. for .. awesome points.

do that! It will spare you from suffering through the seemingly nowhere-realized-in-full-menu-standard and the awful editors that put lipstick on it.

try this: emacsclient [-n] -c -a ""

I had zero problems without swap-files for a long time, thinking that 16gb was a lot of ram, and that i could manage. it wasn't and i couldn't.

Now I run two swap partitions the size of physical memory on all machines. Turns out that after some weeks a good third of allocated ram lives in swap proving its usefulness .. and that its quick to turn the aux-swap partition into one for lvm snapshots and i suppose to act as part of the set to emulate'baloon files' too.

tl;dr; bad defaults. go with the size of physical ram and get suspend/hibernate/hybrid working and tested too.

use a 2nd ram-sized partition for snapshots/lvm and emergency space/lvm|zfs.

Software ate the world and "the important questions are somewhere else."

what do you think those are, and were they not always?

Its also a daemon that does a lot of work for me from the shell!

I meta-click to capture xterm output, call dired, make it give me popup-windows to edit short scripts and long command lines, i query the feed-reader, get my backup-schedule, have it popup for debrief when new voice notes are downloaded, serve as an emergency window manager, capture into multiple bins while browsing, turn into a presentation tool, create pdf reports and write-ups, prompt me to check-in any leftovers at the end of the day, work seamlessly across my machines, provide menus to give access to files, clickable functions, org-summaries, fantastic spreadsheets .. oh wait, that's going beyond shell.

so yes, it made my beard grey. big deal, i can shave. sure it not perfect, sure its infuriating, surely i'm insane for continually investing into my future while tweaking something to compound its benefits.

but none of this makes emacs anything but a lisp machine -- so well loved and so close to the metal that it will be here after you and me. Call it a general purpose computing shell, not an OS, and please compare it to the living, not the dead!

* labeled silences! * bugs i've never run into; fixed * the pile of files -> a single .aup3 --> Thanks to all involved!

Brilliant!

"Abstractions and errors inevitably compound as the distance increases."

bingo. logical identities are not equivalencies in life.

i'd define identity and scope of my terms; here citizen, person and human, each with their aggregates and conglomerations in order to expand the question as far as seems reasonable to domain experts -- before looking for generics and other abstractions.

this would get me to a point where i could inquire into the meaning of organize .. in this case probably realizing that there's sufficient self-organization that i'd have to think about needs/support and self-emerging structures.

at that point we could look at how the situation differs from the understanding implied in the question.

its only after i get my and the questioner's terms and models straight that i could begin to define some kind of scale to deal with someone's idea of best in order to work on generating 'deliverables'.

at least for me its best to become an expert in the things i want to change before suggesting changes in or to them; if i don't do that, or start from or with any kind of enthusiasm engendered by the power vested in me by big questions, good outcomes tend to move toward the vanishing point instead of forming solid new baselines.

but thats what you're suggesting the questioner do by having them question the use of the subjective term 'best'. right? :)

So you see the non-free-and-open Raspberry Pi as a real development environment. That's nice.

i'm not getting distracted by this discussion.

what a gem!

an amoeba has consciousness.. and what you call the hard problem is a problem with the brain doctrine .. as the hands of a concert pianist have no trouble running the show with the rest of his or her parts cooperating to make it possible. .. the mind/brain looking on then .. as in many/most other experiences where a whole person is in flow.

its freaky to think my parts, glands, organs were not freely and willingly coordinating by way of the cns.. and i have no experiential evidence .. in the amoeba and up .. that a brain is even needed for consciousness.

"damn, do I really want to be a tech lead?"

not with a single report. the overhead is maddening. much better to have 2..3..4 where you can put them to plan/discuss/evolve solutions while you just update and evolve checklists. debrief daily, use their work. be consistent, write your own daily summaries for upstream. going from 1 to 4 should ~double the time you need while making you much more productive/deliver more comprehensive skills & results at the same time. make sure you get paid for keeping things on track while doing your usual! p.s./edit: four is a great size. 2x5 is the most i'd want to do. coordinate with hr but stay out of it.

.. this is too weird for me.

loved reading the old comments. ty!

dependency free, solid design, perfect with tmux, great online reference. does not try to do magic: http://eradman.com/entrproject/

When I published webhub @ href.com in 1995 we called these 'custom runners'. Looks like you'd have approved of that concept :)

rant appreciated!

this thing is a 5 year old specialist's setup and its not appropriate for new users, even the installation instructions have not aged well.

that didn't stop me from copying way to much of his work into my initial setup and crying about the mess i made when i got started though :) if you want to get started with org or that strange editor, consider yourself as having been trolled and look for something that has popup captures and does linked images not something this time/billing specific at first!

i have >5yr years of daily/weekly org'd notes, several dozen files i refile into (made easy by using symbols as first letter in categories and a catg naming convention that grew up along with the setup) and some days i totally forget that i'm 'in a program', because its easy. sure i get lost cause i forget i wrote some code here or there, but it just works.

I'd love to post these notes from my phone to my server, translated into org-mode as they go :)

tl; i read this as saying that you've not looked into the word 'regime'. seems you're talking about mental regimes while avoiding the word.

Which isn't weird at all - if you trust that people avoiding crowds also lead to fewer having the accidents which would otherwise have gotten them dead.

That is a most awesome thing you did there. Thank you very much for sharing!

would? what? if 5% needed ventilators, 70k of them would provide for 1.4 million infected. e.g. you could handle 0.4% of the population being sick concurrently. as is, it is a catastrophe.

++ for "validate" and "sane-itize"! its is about input validation after all

none of our file-systems support semantic access, e.g. you can't give handles to your apps, no!, they have to use archaic paths .. or constructions jails/vms/docker/etc to isolate them. that is a backwards stone-age hierarchical foundation.

and 'protocol' is somehow going to make that better? I don't think that's possible. users have never had to think about more than paths.

lets give them semantics to map file-systems to applications, [perhaps] in the same way a functional package manager would 'give' you/the os access to the right versions of those applications.
