I've probably 10 more questions, but you've already shared generously in a couple of other comments. Thanks for that. I've bookmarked, and will investigate. Best of luck with it

I'm waiting on "Code" by Petzold to arrive, which I'm hoping will scratch a similar itch, but this seems like a really great way to do it! The nand2tetris course seems so very great. Emulating it all in C sounds fun.

Oh wow, it's happening there! I've followed and starred and bookmarked and all that, and will be having a browse around a bit more closely when I get a moment. I think I'm roughly understanding what the group is about. I'll follow up, thanks!

Geez, where do I sign up?

Sounds great. Don't listen to the pseudo-realists who chase dreams of grandeur rather than doing something (at least semi-) useful or good with their lives.

This may have been true at some point... in the 90s? I'm not sure if it actually was even true then. In any case, it isn't true today:

Agree with the other responder, largely. I've been bothered a few times by Emacs locking up, but never enough to be actually upset about it. Bugs, I don't see it, it is very very solid for me, I can't remember the last time something didn't work as expected. Hmmm.

Still very Lem-curious, though!

The word "free" is being ruthlessly abused here, surely...

If I follow the link there, it costs 239E for a 5-day pass, where each of the 5 days must be used in a 1 month period. That's not "gratis", that's 47.8E per day the train is used?

Hmm, reading a bit more on the same article, i.e., this one here:

https://www.vegasmaster.com/gambling-tax-free-countries/

I see these relevant lines:

  > The laws concerning gambling tax around the world aren’t all black and white. In most cases, there is a sort of gray area which states that you will be taxed on winnings if gambling is your profession or your main source of income. However, if you gamble and win but you have a bigger source of income and don’t rely on professional gambling to pay the bills, you won’t be taxed.

  In other countries, like Kenya and Ireland, players aren’t taxed on their winnings, but bookies must pay a certain percentage of taxes on the total bets or winnings they record. In Ireland bookies must pay 1% on all bets placed through them, while in Kenya bookies have to pay 7.5% tax on all winnings they record.

I only learned yesterday after reading this article that, apparently, a good many countries have no taxes on gambling wins. The reasoning is - again, from my quick bit of reading, if someone in the know wants to correct me please do - that most people lose, and the government doesn't want to be liable to help all the people who lose heavily.

Which is great for the pros, I suppose. Here's a list of countries, which you'd have to check individually, after I searched "gambling tax free countries":

    Austria
    Australia
    Belgium
    Bulgaria
    Canada
    Czech Republic
    Denmark
    Finland
    Germany
    Hungary
    Italy
    Luxembourg
    Malta
    Romania
    Sweden
    United Kingdom

Could you share the name of your former employer, or if you can't, could you share the name of similar employers?

I'm on a bit of a probability (gambling, sports betting, stats, etc) kick these days, and I'd be interested in reading more about people and companies doing this in practice. I'd been imagining there must be organised sports gamblers, but they don't seem to be overly searchable.

Does anyone have any links to political analysis of what's going on with chess.com, and its involvement in various scandals? I think your wager has something to it, in any case.

I think there'd be material there for an investigative journalist (if such a thing still exists to get out the old whiteboard and start figuring out connections and trying to piece together what might be going on behind the scenes. In any case, there's a lot of money involved.

I loved browsing the emacsconf videos this year, really nicely presented, and such cool stuff happening. Still have lots to watch, but so far in particular the infrastructural and UI type stuff seemed amazing, there's loads happening! Favourites included:

https://emacsconf.org/2024/talks/casual/ -- Charles Choi designing UIs for human beings rather than octopuses (this jibe is meant fondly, I am a happy octopus)

https://emacsconf.org/2024/talks/literate/ -- Howard Abram, literate programming

https://emacsconf.org/2024/talks/gypsum/ -- Emacs and emacs lisp clone in Guile

https://emacsconf.org/2024/talks/rust/ -- Rune, an experimental Emacs core in Rust

https://emacsconf.org/2024/talks/julia/ -- lovely talk about the synchronicity between Julia and Emacs

https://emacsconf.org/2024/talks/guile/ -- Robin Templeton relaunches Guile-Emacs!

https://emacsconf.org/2024/talks/mcclim/ -- eh, this talk accepted questions from lambdaMOO?

What is better, from your experience?

I'm a happy Emacs user, but think having more options is great, and I've delved into some Common Lisp and certainly am eager to learn more. So I'm thrilled to see Lem continue to be developed.
