> I just want others to do the boring shit like cooking and cleaning and billing for me and I can just work & play.

Congratulations, you are just like every other human on the planet. We really need to stop passing off regular human traits as medical disorders.

I'm a long time vim user who tried Emacs for a good few months. I started out with a minimal config and just got used to it out of the box, and over time evolved to using something more like evil mode and packages for everything.

The things that drove me back to vim were basically:

- Poor mercurial support. Monky is supposed to be like Magit but lacked support for staging individual hunks or any of the hg evolution commands. This forced me to use terminal modes which...

- ...The terminal modes are absolutely atrocious half baked pieces of crap. The only advice I really got on this was that using the terminal modes is "not the emacs way".

- I found it to be very opinionated about the style of C code I was writing. It tries to automatically indent things in very specific ways and god forbid you want to change the level of indentation of a block. You can change the way emacs indents your code in your config, but again, god forbid you ever want to do something slightly different to your config.

- Working with panes (windows), buffers, tabs etc. is a pain. You close a buffer and it disappears from the screen and is actually still open, and it pops up again when you wanted to go to something else.

This sounds like a bad review but I did for the most part enjoy using it. I just liked vim with tmux more.

Not unique to iPhones but the way I see it, mounting a phone in a vehicle is a common enough use-case that it should be designed for. Doesn't matter if it's a motorcycle or not.

news site != service worth paying for

Literally yes. We need to legally have the ability to gate release of software if we believe it has significant security vulnerabilities or bugs which could cause harm to human life. We need to be able to make those decisions _without_ some executive overriding them or firing us, and we need to be held responsible with actual fines and prison time when we are negligent with it. Otherwise people will keep dying and software engineers will continue to not be seen as real engineers.

Hate to say it but it just sounds like you're looking for the neighbourhood Facebook group.

> I took up an interest in motorcycles instead.

Can you expand on this? I am a motorcyclist with an interest in flying and based on my idea of what flying involves (at least in not very busy areas) it seems a lot more chill and probably less dangerous than motorcycling. Multiple people try to kill me every day the mental load involved in managing all the hazards is quite high.

> Get addicted to cannabis: You might spend more $$$ per month than you would like to

I can tell you are addicted to cannabis because you are way downplaying addiction to it while exaggerating the other substances. While cannabis will not kill you it can still destroy relationships, make you stupid, and waste 40 years of your life. That sort of behaviour can rub off on your kids too, so when they're adults and also addicted to cannabis and playing it off as "I just spend more money than I'd like", that's on you.

Nobody is QAing 3D printer firmware because they thought it would be fun. They are doing it because their printer crashed and now they can no longer print.

> Reacting to these situations with denigration and hostility is very unlikely to leave a good impression

Why would I care if I left a good impression on a person using astrology to judge me? I wouldn't expect nor want things to go any further.

> I have 5 yubikeys on multiple continents

Are you actually retarded or just disingenuous? This is hardly a workable solution even for security nuts, let alone the average person.

Most bread you get from a supermarket (even outside the US) is highly processed garbage, as are many common sandwich fillings (mayo, salami, margarine). The typical sandwich is probably up there with many of the other least healthy things you could eat, so yeah, ground up wheat with filling to make it taste good is probably fair.

Most of the comments in favour of this technology seem to be "It saved me from rear-ending someone because I wasn't concentrating". On the other hand comments against this technology are essentially "It had a false positive and almost killed me". As I'm capable of maintaining good following distance, riding to the conditions, braking correctly, and being aware of the traffic around me; I'll choose not to use this technology, thanks.

> Agreed. Especially on a formatter. The number of code review comments it cuts out is incredibly time and energy saving.

Are people realistically reviewing code formatting? As long as people aren't making egregious violations I generally don't care if someone leaves a brace on the same line or writes a one-line if statement. I tend to review the overall design and look for bugs and edge cases that might've been missed. If somebody told me they didn't like the way I formatted the code then they've got their own editor and are welcome to change it if they want to be petty.

> Do you not value the increased memory safety?

C offers an appropriate level of memory safety for the problems it solves. I take managing my own memory over unreadable code and dependency hell any day. The fact that C will run on DSPs with 27-bit pointers is just an added bonus. The ease of manual memory management in C is an advantage, not a downside.

And the tooling for C will exist long after rust has been abandoned.

> And because I pay salary, I am expecting that all of your efforts will go towards my job.

Why? Most (even salaried) full-time contracts require something like 38-40 hours per week. So long as what your staff are doing outside of those hours is not representing the company in a bad light, it should not be your concern. Trying to control what your staff do in their own time is toxic.

> it's easy to see where the basics could be so easily provided that it would seem (to me) morally repugnant not to provide them to everyone.

Whilst I agree, the definition of basics keeps expanding in scope. Once it was food and water, then it was nutritious food and clean water, then we tack on shelter and medical care and electricity and internet and education and clothing and transport. So this point where we can easily provide the basics to everyone seems somewhat mythical. Our poorest people live in comparative luxury compared to the people of 500 years ago but we still call it poverty.

> void(signal(int, void ()(int)))(int);

This is trivial to parse if you use spiral rule, humans or machine.

> You’d actually need a separate legally binding contract to link it to actual ownership

Why? The blockchain already does this. All you need to do is hold the private key to the wallet.

Tezos is proof of stake already and supports dApps/NFTs etc. with a tiny fraction of the fees of Ethereum. Cardano will be similar. I'm sure there are others. While it's better than bitcoin, people should be moving away from eth, not towards it.
