I'm hoping at some point a brave team of enthusiasts decides to try making a business out of modernizing emacs (code and process), like the onivim2 people are doing for vim.

What do you think of forks like Remacs / emacs-ng?

It's unbelievable how entitled people can be towards things that are published for free by authors who owe them nothing.

Mirth hasn't been released. I found it and decided to share it.

Neat! Anyone with more understanding can point out differences with statebox[1]? Both seem to be:

- visual and textual

- purely functional

- dataflow-like

I get the feeling that statebox might not be turing complete (guaranteed termination) and have a stronger focus on formal verification. Also, it doesn't seem to have a visual editor yet.

I really want to use Firefox because of Quantum and other Rust goodness, but until they catch up on usability I'm happy to stay with Brave. Tab-to-search is sorely missing in Firefox, and the tab creation and switching experience on Android is awful.

Curious about the suggestion to try plain TeX. Could you expand on what are the advantages? Do you mean it as a learning stepping stone or for actual usage?

Hearing starts at the 14' mark.

If I'm a pedestrian getting my body filmed, 3D-scanned, with potential facial recognition and internal-organs-penetrating sensors added on top, _I'm_ the one who should own that data (and the right to not consent to its collection in the first place). Why are people weirded out by some Google Glass-wearing rando filming them on the sidewalk but ok for everyone behind a wheel to be suddenly promoted to a CCTV omnisensing recorder?

Most users are concerned, they just feel powerless to do anything about it.

Helping decentralize package managers is Protocol Labs' top priority for IPFS in 2019[1].

Seems very prescient now. Hopefully this gets adopted soon enough, while it's still easy to batch-export stuff out of registries. I really don't want MS owning the most popular editor, git host, "linux desktop", and universal package manager in the world. Edit: oh, and programming language (typescript is eating javascript.)
