self-interested hate is it not?

Maybe I'm more attuned to this type of thing having grown up as a national of a smaller state living in the shadow of a bigger state but you constantly see actors from the bigger state belittling and condescending anything contributed socially or economically from the smaller state.

And I see this sort of dynamic here in this forum where Americans very frequently talk condescendingly like this about Europe generally and European tech especially (they did it to China too but China smartly ignored this self-interested nonsense and carried on anyway which is what Europeans should do).

It really grates on me and presumably many others. But it serves an agenda too of a lot of the founders and financiers that hang out here that have big fat customers in Europe they'd like to keep sweet and competitors they'd like to keep down.

Isn't it up to Europeans to define the purpose of the EU? What's your claim to having the right to define it?

Just the co-founders eh? Fuck off Paul.

"show me the diff in emacs"

and claude opens up a new emacs frame (aka "window" if you're not an emacs doc writer) with a magit diff buffer of whatever we've been working on. This happens instantly because the emacs server is already running since startup and this is just popping up a little client window

> Reminded me of when I had to be extra wordy to meet the 1000 minimum word limit for my high school essays.

At my uni, dissertations were supposed to be 10k words.

I handed in 7.5 and got a distinction because it met the brief.

Never pad.

Hello fellow sighthound owner. I have thought about it. But never done it.

Whenever I sit down with a few spare minutes to try it, my lurcher appears and wants a walk :-)

That'll sure teach them not to abuse their power over their fellow humans with less physical strength.

zoom literally makes a summary of meetings available now if you enable it.

unfortunately you still have to show up to the meeting and engage with your friends and colleagues for half an hour.

Maybe clojure wouldn't have had it's nubank "exit" if we'd called ourselves clojuristas but this old clojure lefty loves it.

So you've....worked hard. Understood the language and social landscape. Delivered what your employers wanted. And earned lots of money.

Congrats I guess? Not sure where the abuse/guilt comes from.

Once a week?! Aren't you killing the repl at least to run a full test suite without any stale leftover developer state before deploying?

> the bettors are motivated to predict truth.

But also motivated to bend the truth to their bet as the journalist in Israel found.

> But it was incredibly dumb to build many GW of offshore wind in Scotland when the grid was already over capacity.

Isn't it equally dumb to continue to bet the entire country's economy on a tiny little bit of England (and then shame the other regions as unproductive layabouts when they don't produce as much tax revenue)? Energy production is not the only, nor even the biggest imbalance in UK resources. Maybe people and businesses should go where the energy is instead of waiting for it to come to them.
