I used to own a dahon that I got from a guy on craigslist back in like 2011/2012. Incredible bike. After moving further out of the city for cheaper rent I sold it to help pay rent. Really wish I could have kept it.

Your work will be used to power an auto aim kill bot. I personally couldn't live with that.

If these cowardly goons are afraid of American citizens exercising their second amendment rights they should find another job.

It is famously against the law to own a gun, and carry it with a permit in the United States.

A key difference is that we didn't act alone in World War II, and we were fighting very legitimate aggression (fascism).

> What about dictators? What about military coups and forcefully reversing them? Election fraud?

My country, USA, yearns for freedom. Please someone, anyone, liberate us!

> I'm interested to know what kind of democracy will emerge

If history teaches us anything, a democracy won't emerge. Nothing good comes from the US intervening in foreign affairs. This is being done to the benefit of the invaders, not those being invaded.

I hope you find that your first and last goals "re-learn focus" and "prioritize body" feed into each other nicely. I worked a lot at my ability to focus on tasks (not just work, but in general) this year, and starting an exercise routine really helped me out a lot. Strength work is a time for me to not be on the phone or computer. Having that time to be in my own head and just think about stuff I find helps sharpen my mind for the rest of the day. Good look!

Do you really loose the ability to grep? You can still search for json fragments `grep '"uid": "user-123"' application.log`

If the json logged isn't pretty printed everything should still be on one line. You can also grep with the `--context` flag to get more surrounding lines.

I believe one of the things that prompted stallman to give that talk was the inclusion of the lsp client "eglot" in emacs. Eglot i think is short for emacs polyglot.

The most idiomatic name, lsp-mode, was taken by another package. Stallman wanted to find another name but no one seemed to care as much as he did. I think one name he suggested in its place at one point was "code-parse" or something like that.

That's one of the classes I would really like to take. If I end up doing it the kids might spend a lot of time with grandma that semester.

Yeah, thinking about waiting until both the kids themselves are in school and then 1 course a semester for me. Not sure if that will be easier or harder than doing it while they are young
