imo they should all support AGENT.md, but because of differences in tools, you often need an additional file per-agent.


check out https://github.com/dagger/container-use! it uses worktrees under the hood, but hides them from the user and agent. it basically gives you containers tracked by git branches and plugs into any MCP-compatible agent. you're then free to make your own worktrees from those branches, but you can also just use them in your normal checkout.



burnt trees are not good fuel. areas that have "burnt through" are lower fire risk. dead, unburnt trees are the problem.


Dead burnt trees fall down and rot feeding the next fire that comes through that forest. Instead of logging those trees and using them leaving good trees and new growth behind.


Sounds like you're missing the concept of the fuel class of wood in a wildfire. https://www.fs.fed.us/rm/pubs/rmrs_gtr164/rmrs_gtr164_06_fue...

That explains some of it, but different types of fuel take different amounts of time to catch fire, so like a dry prairie can catch on fire about instantly, but live saplings of 1" will not burn unless the fire keeps going for an hour.

A decomposing log on the forest floor won't really burn till it has been in a fire for somewhere around 100 hours.


Until you have walked through a modern fire nuke zone. It’s like walking on the moon. Nothing under a foot across is left. This picture is very typical of what is being left behind by the large self sustaining fires.

I appreciate you defending this position. I bought 50 acres of land burned in a very hot forest fire 9 years ago. While there is some grass and some bushes around, the 50 acres of trees have now all fallen by now and are rotting. Some of them have stayed hard and are super annoying to cut with a chainsaw, but others I can kick apart with my boots. Either way I use them for firewood at my campsite and they ignite instantly with no work on my part. Until you have walked through a real fire zone, you can't fathom what it really looks and feels like.

Also, thanks for being a wildland firefighter, lots of us who live in hills and forests really really appreciate you.


How's your land looking now?


No living trees that I didn't plant myself. The fire was so hot all the seeds died as well. So the idea that a new forest would spring up from the ashes was sort of wishful thinking.


Ouch! I know of someone that put in about 10,000 small trees and had them almost all cleaned out by rabbits.

Do you write/post about your land anywhere? Would be an interesting story to follow.


I picked up spacemacs earlier this year but have since switched to Doom emacs: https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs it's smaller, faster, and you configure it in a way that's closer to vanilla emacs. The size makes it more tractable to learn. The creator & primary maintainer is more active, funny, and helpful than the spacemacs maintainer who I believe is on hiatus.

I wish someone had told Doom about it before I picked up spacemacs so maybe this post will benefit past-future-me.


I've been using Spacemacs for Clojure development for years but stable has been stuck on the same version for ages so is it actually maintained?


You should switch to develop. They are working on release 300 and there are commits being merged daily.


It's been thaty way for years so not very encouraging. With develop I can't just click Update Packages. Any advantages these days of staying with Spacemacs over Doom?


Thanks! It looks good. I'll check it out more.


I switched to Spacemacs around the same time you picked up Doom and dropped Spacemacs for Doom around a month ago.

I'm not really a note taker, and I haven't picked up org yet. I actually uninstalled it before I realized that all the Doom docs are written in it and without org-mode you can't follow links XD


I've been using spacemacs for a while, haven't looked into doom. Mind telling me why you decided to switch?


I also switched from Spacemacs to DOOM. I've decided to stay.

Reasons:

- DOOM Emacs is fast. Fast to start `emacs --daemon`, fast UX with the default config.

- I've experienced DOOM Emacs to be more cohesive than Spacemacs

I still keep my Spacemacs config around, but I haven't touched it in ... almost a year now.


The startup speed of DOOM Emacs is outstanding, as others have noted.

Additionally, I've found adding my own customizations is much easier in Doom than Spacemacs. While the Spacemacs "layers" approach is nice for setup, it can become very brittle when you start hacking on it yourself. Some of that could also be due to my own lack of skill with elisp, though.


I enjoy the way Doom is organized. You can overcome any startup timing problems in emacs by using daemon mode whether it's doom, space, or stock.


for real! some later versions of the X1C have had S3 patched in but when the X1C6 was first released this was a surprise to me. Apparently Windows is moving towards S1-only and that gets reflected in firmwares originally designed for windows computers.

For the uninitiated, without S3 closing the laptop lid will either continue to drain battery pretty damned quickly (S1) OR cause the OS to take much longer to resume completely from disk (S4 aka hibernate). As SSDs get bigger/faster/cheaper in comparison to RAM, S4 will start to seem more equivalent, but to make this sensible on an ultrabook you might want to opt for that 1+TB NVME so you can hibernate on lid-shut without eating a significant fraction of your disk on swap.


The requirement for certification with S1 aka Modern Standby btw requires that proper S1 implementation draws same or less power than S3, iirc.

But that requires pretty heavy power saving code


Note for this laptop, specifically, it maxes out at 16GB RAM, and it's soldered, so that is a hard cap. That'd take a 256GB SSD down to 240GB after swap. I don't think it's a big concern for this machine, though certainly could be for some mobile workstation with much more RAM.


16 GB of RAM seems fine even on a 256 GB disk.

(It's plenty at that point, but hardly seems to be the yes/no on the whole deal)


you could get straight-married (for legal purposes, obviously) to become independent from your parents under the law.

Is that all it gets? He could also, you know, sell his kidney, or something similar, in order to get into university. What kind of society are we talking about if you need to cheat to get something that you should get in every other civilized society? What other compromises would you be required to make in order to get an education? Join a political party, rob the bank, start working as a prostitute or porn actor?


Thank you.


I share your passion for revolutionizing math education, but I don't quite understand the attachment to "Common Core." Federal prescriptive nonsense is a huge obstacle for real innovation in education and outside of the need to make a sale I don't see why you'd limit yourselves.


example?


A web-browser inside your editor?

A mail client inside your editor?

The ability to make HTTP-requests, parse their results, and format the results inside your existing editor window?


Editor? I do not think that word means what you think it means!

Emacs is an abstraction layer for a non-preemptively threaded virtual machine, one application of which involves editing text, sound, video, images, etc.


You forgot the web server :-) http://emacswiki.org/emacs/Elnode
