You probably have an old package.

According to this: https://github.com/bbatsov/solarized-emacs/issues/438 it doesn't use dash anymore.

Try M-x package-refresh-contents first, possibly after removing elpa/* first. Also if there's a package-quickstart.el remove that too.

@deavid Not really there would be a benefit if all current devs were rust devs but i don’t think it would be worth it to train up current c++ devs. This was true for all projects I can remember. I wish it was different but I have to be realistic. If I was doing a green field project and had to hire everybody it could possibly work. Never been in that situation so far.

@deavid It looks like it does but I haven’t tried it.

@deavid I work in embedded, 95% of what I've seen, from Linux embedded to RTOS based is C++. The only place I have seen C is for a bare metal target.

To be honest, many of the developers I've seen barely write good C++, it's more like Cish C++. I don't have much confidence that most of the ones I've seen will be capable of transitioning to an embedded Rust target, so it might be difficult to transition with an existing team.

However if I was building a team from scratch for a new codebase, I'd look hard at Rust. There I could hire specifically for Rust or at least Rust enthusiastic C++ developers.

@volkris The appointment was probably just to deflect repub criticism; as only repubs suspect any intent. Now they have nothing to complain about until the investigation is complete, which will probably find no evidence of any wrongdoing, other than shoddy handling of the documents.

@carnage4life I work at a company with "unlimited vacation", and I've never felt this way, and I take time off that I need to stay healthy without guilt. I have a feeling that places where it's like as you describe are probably dysfunctional. On the other hand, if you are the one applying the pressure and not the company, it's a "me" problem, and you should probably look at fixing that.

@hnb@emacs.ch It's always worth it to pore over the release notes to see what has improved. It's not that old though, came in with 28.1 iirc.

@SETIEric An overripe banana would be a better bet

@AstraKernel Hopefully the like's and retweets were just because it was funny

@freemo @tonic Welp they apparently are rethinking their blocks, and we are not listed as blocked or silenced on hachyderm.io, however I so far am unable to follow anyone there. 🤷 Hopefully some kind of caching issue, I will try again in a few days.

@helgztech@fosstodon.org I picked up emacs after reaching the limits of vim, it wasn't about doing it the hard way, but the realization I'll be using it almost every day for many more years and every tweak that made me a little bit more productive would pay off in the long term. Even when it seems like that isn't true, which it sometimes does, it's still a lot of fun to configure emacs the way I like it.

@wjbeaver It's broken, @freemo knows about it

@climagic Bigs

@ceoln I don't know of a UI way, but you should be able to import a block list csv file you create. It's just the domain name on each line.

@pieist I can't explain anything about that show.
