Npm concern though suggests we likely work in very different industries so that may explain the different perspective.
I, for one, work every day with plenty of proprietary vendor code under very restrictive NDAs. I don't think they would be very happy knowing I let AIs crawl our whole code base and send it to remote language models just to have fancy autocompletion.
Business hours is an obsolete concept in modern world, unless you work in an office with precise time tracking.
A signed agreement from your employer is the only thing that holds and that's why FSF asks for it.
You only need to provide sources for the copyleft components you change and direct requests to the above entities for the rest.
Curious about light/dark mode, what does it do more than loading a theme? something like circadian.el? maybe it's because I hide menu-bar/tool-bar/scrollbars by default but `M-x load-theme modus-operandi` is all I need for whenever a room is too bright or a colleague complains about my dark theme.
Everything else, MFA, password rotations, approved software, stupid training videos... is all there to tick some boxes in a certification process or to easily shift the blame when something bad happens.
In my totally anecdotal experience the intersection between proficient LaTeX users and emacs users is pretty large.
So having good emacs support would be a big selling point.
My experience on the other hand is also those people never complain about LaTeX, so they're probably not the target for a new typesetting system.
These days I found my peace just writing my own python scripts to parse verbose build logs. You just need to extract filename, base dir, compiler and arguments. Sometimes you're lucky and build system supports dry run and you don't even have to run a real build to get the logs.
Way less invasive, no need to ask devops for additional tools and you can adapt it to any build system.
Whenever I start with a new toolchain, I spend a couple of hours to tweak the parser and I'm good to go.
There is so much more than fundamental physics and there is much more in physics than breakthrough discoveries. Medical physics just to name a fun field everybody always forgets about has been studying and using neural networks since about forty years. Applied physics, biophysics, atmospheric physics. Even particle physics is mostly data science these days.
This idea that physics should only be about fundamental theories and discoveries is really detrimental to the field and leads to the false idea of stagnation that permeates this whole thread.
Non native here. What's the meaning of inoculated here?
It's not the first time that I struggle to parse this word. In italian it keeps the original latin meaning and can be translated with "injected with". You could inoculate a vaccine but you could also inoculate a poison, so it does not carry the immunity meaning by default. English (US?) as far as I can tell use it as a synonym of "immune", is that so?
I mean, I can understand CO, maybe Radon, but CO2 really seems pointless and only driven by the modern green trends.
People bond at the office because they have no personal time and energy left to bond outside.
I take flu vaccine shots once a year and didn't get flu since years. Same for COVID but they don't work, I still get it at least twice a year with bad symptoms
