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.
