Use Emacs guys if it is so bother some. Emacs is faster and more resource efficient than all these modern ide/editors.

Well said. LISP has longevity.
Re:Changes at YC on Wednesday March 15, 2023 @02:51AM (#35164779)
I believe it is the right move. You can make better impact funding a large number of startups with small amounts and guidance than focusing on few late stage startups. Even though 6% make it big in their first attempt the rest 96% do benefit from YC's role in their subsequent attempts. So the impact is huge when it comes to early stage funding.

My wife is trying hard to cope with OCD and is looking for therapists specialized in CBT/ERP. Can you help me with some names of therapists who you think are effective?

Re:UMN CS&E Statement on Linux Kernel Research on Wednesday April 21, 2021 @06:02PM (#26895998)
I am definitely against the line of research and hope someone acknowledges their fault. I also want to appeal that the issue it taking a political turn with a lot of unwarranted hate in forums and media mostly from people who are not part of kernel community. We are talking about young researchers and some possibly are misguided or innocent. Lets now make a political feast out of this just because we can.

He writes "We are not experts in the linux kernel..." after pushing so many changes since 2018. I am left scratching my head.

Haha

Yes because the UMN guys have made their intent clear, and even went on to defend their actions. They should have apologised and asked for reverting their patches.

Their research could have been an advisory email or a blogpost for the maintainers without the nasty experiments. If they really cared for OSS they would have have collaborated with the maintainers and persuaded them to use their software tools for patch work. There is research for good of all and there is research for selfish gains. I am convinced this is the later.
