dakra | 4 years ago | on: Climate change: IPCC report is 'code red for humanity'

I really liked Bill Gates new Book: How to Avoid a Climate Disaster[1]. I liked that it shows what we have to do to get to 0 greenhouse gas emissions. What's the current state of technology and what's still left to do to get there.

I often find suggestions like "Meatless Monday" or "Only fly when really necessary" etc, while probably good, not really useful advice. In Gates book he talks about that transportation and "building things" is good and we should not stop it, but instead find a way to make it emission free.

I use a similar tool in Emacs called piper https://gitlab.com/howardabrams/emacs-piper

And here's the EmacsConf video for those interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKJMDJ4i-XI

If you live in Emacs and interacting with it every day there is always something to tweak and it just grows organically. I don't think a big config file is an outlier. Not because it's necessary but simply because it's so much fun to scratch a small itch with a few lines of elisp which you couldn't do in other editors.

My config[0] for example is 10k lines with >1k commits.

I recommend "Git from the bottom up"[1] for a nice and relatively simple tutorial that shows you the inner design of a git repository.

Another good open source terminal sharing service is https://tmate.io/

This gives you 2 ssh addresses (read only and read write) that you can send out.
