Not really themes within the subject matter (it may have a "theme-like" slogan); but for smaller conferences especially, the subject is so narrowly set already that it may effectively work as a mandatory theme.

You probably could, if it's a large fridge full of stuff, and you didn't open it during the expensive hours.

Maybe I misunderstand something, but the point of O_NOFOLLOW is to disallow opening symlinks. Is the a reason you can't just not set the flag?

You're saying the title should have been "Is Emacs Great for Writers?"

It's waste separation, not home composting. Composting will be done by the municipality.
It's a good, easy idea though. And directly improves your quality of life - throw away the biological stuff separately and your remaining trash doesn't smell or attract insects.

I'm similar to you (a few years younger).
And I've realized that we lived through a very rare time of the horror of the cold war disappearing, and everything getting not just better but more stable and predictable and boring as I grew older.
And now it's all "may you live in interesting times" times a thousand all of a sudden.
We're reverting back to the mean.

Git is amorphous and difficult. Whenever you post about it, you inadvertently invite people to post about how their own view of the tools differs from yours.
Which is a bit ridiculous. When you dig below the surface, git is fairly simple. It's just that the user-level tools were never designed to give us a consistent idea of how to use it.
I've said it before but, command-line tools have user interfaces every bit as much as graphical ones. The git UI was never designed at all.

This is proper light desktop level stuff. If/when an nvme pci adapter shows up you can probably use this as a general computer.

Isn't happy hour kind of the same thing? Reduce price during times low traffic.
Feels like it's more about perception than actual mechanics. Dropping price for low demand feels fair, but raising it during high demand does not.
Edit: also, as you say, hotels and airlines do this already, without any outcry.

Can I gently point out that for a technology to actually spread widely into the real world you need a lot more people than just techies?
The people doing the marketing, the sales, distribution, running the numbers on pricing and plans, approving it for sale, resharing on the net, get for themselves or their work, and so on.
You'll find artists, social science grads, historians, economists and lawyers - everyone is part culpable.

Posting in English since Swedish is forbidden on #Fosstodon :
When Commodore VIC 20 was released, there were two books in Swedish on programming it in Basic and in assembler.
Does anyone have bibliographic information on those? Or links to the books?
They made me who I am far more than any later experiences and I would love to track them down.
Om någon kommer ihåg dom grå A4 böckerna om att programmera VIC20 kan ge mig titel, författare eller så.

I'd say it's not ideal, but not too bad. It could have been a future where the open source implementation was an afterthought, not the main implementation.
