this new herdr app is actually very close to emacs in philosophy. Instead of the C core and lisp runtime herdr has GPUI (rust gpu accelerated UI drawing) and herdr-core which is the agent daemon. There's some vocabulary for spaces tabs panes agents, and js sits on top to define UI/UX. Very little is hard coded, and default app functionality is implemented in the same way that users can customize, and changes hotreload without restart. Almost everything seems to be just js/json just like most emacs is just elisp.

Different philosophies. herdr has defined a few core primitives (machine -> space -> tab -> pane -> terminal) and lets you customize all the ui around it. Among all the ADEs I've used this is most reminiscent of emacs.

Orca is a bit heavy in asking you to define projects / worktrees up front. Anything you do, even quick edits starts with a worktree. Projects get their own modal and file browser before you start working. Herdr just lets you cd, mkdir, get going. But it's also worktree aware and organizes them under your repo when you do create them.

Have you tried moshi? It’s Herdr aware.

Tui-in-guis like orca are nice mostly because of sensible keybinds without prefix or leader

IDE's are also "just" text editing + code intelligence + project metadata + keybinds... we've had decades of iteration on them because good interfaces take time and effort to mature

Yep pus is what animal bodies excrete in response to some infections -- there's no reason to think standalone viruses would naturally summon pus.

Same, the ASCII interface is an eternal classic to me, the updated graphics try harder and achieve less (just my opinion).

If they're so valuable, maybe you could spare a thought of thanks that the previous owners passed them onto posterity, whatever the condition. If you don't like the condition, feel free to continue your search. Getting heated over their use of their own property isn't very philosophical of you.

That's just vanilla regulation. Yes it tends to create market inefficiencies, by definition. Capture entails industry corrupting and directing regulatory bodies.

I think this is plain old regulation, not regulatory capture. For it to be the latter we'd need evidence than it was the incumbents who designed this oversight which they then asked the white house to rubber stamp.

This straw man doesn't merit falsification. Nobody claims wealth alone gives political power. Wealth applies leverage to all endeavors, but political ends still require strategy and operationalization. It's just a lot easier with a couple trillion dollars, vs. a single individual vote once every couple of years.

Nobody is forcing anyone to place bets they can't back, isn't this a personal responsibility issue?

edit: to be clear, if companies are committing fraud in their marketing, that should be prosecuted or if regulations around misleading marketing are weak, that should be legislated of course.

A family member lost years of irreplaceable photos and paid apps due to account lock, and doing this across two countries they were legitimately residing in triggered it.

Wonder why he was only charged with contempt, rather than defrauding investors?
