I'd love Python if it weren't for whitespace. I wanna cut/paste code into a REPL, and Python makes that difficult.

Begin/end should be optional. Some things would just be so much easier to follow, map/lambda stuff cleaner.

LSP (Language Server Protocol) was the final nail in the coffin of Emacs for me.

VSCode was "good enough" for pretty much every language with LSP at that point, I did't even bother with Jetbrains ides outside of work after that.

And when Obsidian replaced org-mode for me, I deleted my .emacs directory from my dotfiles repository.

It's the muscle memory. I tried really hard to use things like vs code that do a lot of things better (or at least more automatically) and always end up more efficient in emacs.

Hopefully emacs can catch up.

Ok now do the part where lisp is actually used for any remotely useful project today...

Emacs is one. Naughty Dog used a lisp for Jak and Daxter. Shows up in CAD software.

You seem to forget that most artists enjoy it but due to the structure of our society are forced to either give it up for most of their waking life to earn money or attempt to market their art to the masses to make money. This AI stuff only makes it harder for artists to make any kind of living off of their work.

Ideally AI makes it so you don't have to work and can pursue whatever interests.

> Most software today is crappy. Do you really need all the bells and whistles? Probably not.

I agree that most software today is bloated, but I wouldn't say crappy. There are legitimate reasons to choose bloat, for example using SDL or Electron to speed up development and have easier portability. But for some reason I do strongly enjoy writing and using minimalist software. That's why I removed C++, SDL and other libs from my app (hram.dev) and just used C, native Win32 APIs, and D3D, getting it down to 1.4mb and speeding up compilation a lot. So projects like this always appeal to me, and I love seeing different ways we can be minimalist without sacrificing too much functionality or convenience.

It's a shame no one has figured out how we can get the flexibility of html/css/js in a way that is fast.

I get that RISC-V is exciting as an open-source phenomena, but that is a pretty expensive piece of kit.

Is this in par with or faster than comparable ARM, ADM or Intel processors at the same price level?

Or more performance per watt?

Or an instructino set that makes a lot of operation super fast?

What is the upside?

jjrh · 9 months ago
Not an unreasonable price for a dev board.

The key part is 'dev' - it's for people doing development on the platform.

The low-tech and not super resilient method is to buy a second 28TB NAS, put it in a different location and sync them periodically when you know your primary is in good shape.

Back in the days of DVDs, I used to backup my 20GB drive onto DVDs. I wonder if you could do something similar today but instead of a bunch of 4GB optical disks, you would use 4 x 8TB drives?

jjrh · a year ago
There is 'amanda'. It will split your data up if and you can rotate a bunch of disks.

Used it years ago, we rotated disks every week or something and periodically would take one out of commission and get a new one.

I believe you can mix and match storage mediums - like have your monthly snapshot write to tape.

> control-f "infected mushroom" no results

does this person even know what psytrance is?

http://music.ishkur.com/?query=PsychedelicTrance Here is a better breakdown of the genre, by an overly opinionated producer who has been cataloging electronic music styles for decades

ishkur's guide is a really awesome resource for discovering electronic music.

Given than fusefs provides FUSE support on BSDs, it seems more than "a bunch of baggage", given how useful it is.
jjrh · 2 years ago
I don't think the person was intending to say it's not useful, only out of scope.

it runs in a terminal. Some may see that as a step down some may see it as a step up. It is why I use it.

Pjsip ships with a cli ua. I use it quite a bit for testing.
