• Read Where to draw the line? - by Gordon Brander

  • About [[complex systems]], modularity, compositionality, and boundaries.
  • Not a fan of [[Substack]], but always enjoy [[Gordon Brander]]‘s writing on [[systems]] and adjacent topics.
  • A shame that Gordon canned [[Subconscious]].

• Note that [[Substack]] has it’s short form posts now.

  • A decent move, a combining of elements of the garden and the stream in one service.
  • Essentially another walled garden version of what [[IndieWeb]] does.

• I love using [[spacemacs]] and [[Emacs]].

  • However, one big negative - I’m always scared to update spacemacs to latest, as well as packages from Melpa.
  • Pretty much at least one important thing breaks every time that I do, and as I need this for my work, I can’t often spare that time.
  • So I tend to put it off and lag behind.
  • I imagine there’s things I can do that would mitigate the risk and friction - I should look into those.
    • One simple idea is just to have two version running side-by-side. I might be able to do that actually, I think there’s a flag you can pass Emacs to say where to look for your conf folder.
