Emacs is Sexy
- kjs3 13y agoThis is factually untrue.
- dmm 13y agoSpeak for yourself dude. emacs has gotten me laid.
- kjs3 13y agoIt doesn't count when you fuck emacs. No matter how many .el files are involved, there has to be another human participating for it to count.
- qdot76367 13y agoUm. It counts. There are elisp packages specifically for this after all. Other humans can even participate via the networked paired programming packages. Can your editor do this? HMMM? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1sXuHnf_lo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1sXuHnf_lo http://www.github.com/qdot/deldo http://www.github.com/qdot/deldo
- kjs3 13y agoI stand corrected...I think. :-)
- McUsr 13y agoSince I'm an adult, I' wont reply to this by saying: "emacs has more likely fucked you over." OS X is on the other hand sexy, since you can build emacs-keybindings into the OS and every app that uses the Cocoa Text System, you can even get an "extra clipboard" with the kill-ring. As for programming, when it is more convenient with an editor as the "control-center" for the endeavour, or real small things that makes a simple editor feasible, then I must say I prefer Vim.
- FreakyT 13y agoI had no idea ".sexy" was actually a real TLD. Huh.
- Thiz 13y agoI'm intrigued. How can vim and emacs share the same tld?
- prezjordan 13y agoThey're new! Also .jewelery, .tips, .technology, .cab, many others. http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/program-status/delegated-strings http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/program-status/delegated-string...
- fophillips 13y ago.wang!
- MichaelGG 13y agoAs there is zero real use for these TLDs, I'd be very pleased if Google and other software makers penalize them. If we're just going to do away with TLDs, might as well do it right and just open up a simple global registry so anyone can register ".<whatever>" -- versus blessing a few silly strings (.christmas, .bargains... .museum .aero).
- xandyrox 13y agoWrong. Saves time. Gets rid of silly names and allows small businesses to have good tlds. Like Manhattan.bike, which a friend of mine bought for his bike store.
- MichaelGG 13y agoI'm not sure how "Manhattan.bike" is any better than ManhattanBike.com. Or Bike.nyc. Or any other possible similar combination. It's like people think they're gonna bring the Real Name dream back to life.
- ihuman 13y agoSee also: http://vim.sexy/ http://vim.sexy/ (if that's your thing)
- jambo 13y agoI'm friends with the person who made emacs.sexy, and that no doubt was an influence. He loves emacs & wants to share it with the world (while vim.sexy clearly has a big element of parody to it). I'd forgotten about the awesome tron legacy article he linked until I saw this.
- snarkyturtle 13y ago"Dudebro startups like yours get shit from angry feminists all the time. Using Vim will put a stop to that. Vim donates money to children living in Uganda. You'll look so accepting and humanitarian just by using Vim ... Don't get me wrong: I know you don't actually care about human rights and social issues. All that matters is that you look like you care." Suddenly, the snark appears!

- brickcap 13y agolol. Although I am an emacs user I signed up for early access invite for vim after visiting the website. Can't wait to try it out.
- Walkman 13y agoGuys, you really have a problem if you find a piece of software sexy... I absolutely love software, software development, and everything about it, but WOMEN are sexy, NOT software! Please don't degrade women with phrases like this!
- jambo 13y agoI'm going to assume that this is parody? Poe's law and all. I know folks of various genders who love & find emacs sexy.
- Walkman 13y agoNo, this is my honest opinion: if you find software sexy, you have a sirious problem. You should interact with people MUCH more.
- dag11 13y agoThe word 'sexy' in this context has nothing to do with sexuality. A definition of 'sexy' from Google: (informal) exciting; appealing. "I've climbed most of the really sexy west coast mountains" synonyms: exciting, stimulating, interesting, appealing, intriguing, slick, red-hot
- Walkman 13y agoI didn't knew about this, thanks!
- jambo 13y agoSorry, I got locked out of HN by NOPROCRAST shortly after you posted. Sorry I misread you. Cheers.
- bpeebles 13y agoMen can be sexy too.

- dubcanada 13y agoI have yet to see a sexy Emacs. I've found sexy looking vim terminals. But Emacs is just weird
- cema 13y agoIt's not weird, it's kinky!
- sparkie 13y agoYou can basically make emacs look however you want, including stuff like vim's powerline. http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/PowerLine http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/PowerLine
- nephyrin 13y agoNot sure about sexy, but you can definitely make emacs easier on the eyes than its default Xt-in-1994 style: http://i.imgur.com/zwY3Ewc.png http://i.imgur.com/zwY3Ewc.png

- gatehouse 13y agoApropos nothing, WASD bindings for the snake game: (eval-after-load "snake" '(progn (define-key snake-mode-map "w" 'snake-move-up) (define-key snake-mode-map "a" 'snake-move-left) (define-key snake-mode-map "s" 'snake-move-down) (define-key snake-mode-map "d" 'snake-move-right)))
- green7ea 13y agoAs soon as I saw that the sexy gTLD was out I tried to get is.sexy. That would have been awesome but there's a minimum 3 character restriction.
- platz 13y agoTry out emacs, but naked: http://bzg.fr/emacs-strip-tease.html http://bzg.fr/emacs-strip-tease.html (safe for work)

- BetaMechazawa 13y agoHaha I own that website. I made it as a gag for the IRC channel I go on. I'm supprised how well my server is handling the strain.
- gahahaha 13y agoMy poor neck. The GNU-project really should get to work on creating software capable of rotating images. Hopefully we will get to it just as soon as the Hurd is finished.
- BetaMechazawa 13y agoThey should be properly rotated now. Like I mentioned I never expected anyone but a few people to see it
- gahahaha 13y agoThis one still need some work: https://rms.sexy/img/p1000542.jpg https://rms.sexy/img/p1000542.jpg

- piyush_soni 13y agoHow would the people who have used both compare Emacs with Notepad++? I find Notepad++ beautiful, if not sexy :).
- abdullahkhalids 13y agoForget the fact that you can check your email, browse the internet, run a shell from inside email. In Notepad++ you need to take your hands off the main keyboard and use the arrow keys if you want to move around. In emacs you use C-n C-p C-b C-f. That is enough reason to not use Notepad++
- rjbwork 13y agoNot that I don't take my hands of the keyboard, but what do you really NEED to use the mouse for? You can use the KB to hit any item in the menus, there are tons of shortcuts, and the point and click menus are mostly related to configuration and settings, though those are technically mostly accessible via KB too. I personally use Sublime Text when I'm not using VS2013/R# these days though.
- piyush_soni 13y agoReally? You'd use multiple key combination to navigate instead of a simple arrow key? Strange. So if you have to move forward by many points do you keep pressing both c and f keys? I find that an uncomfortable key combination ... And why would you want to check email and browse internet in a Text Editor? Funny.
- bananas 13y agoI've used both. Notepad++ doesn't give you twisted willow-like hands like emacs and all the meta key love. I'm now recovering using vim and have a big pinky for escape usage.
- madlynormal 13y agoinoremap jj <esc> is what you need. Allows one to double press j to enter normal mode instead of reaching for the Esc key.
- glasz 13y agoot: now we see the great fruits of the iana going completely berserk. nobody fucking needs such tld. it doesn't help anybody but only makes money for some.
- glazskunrukitis 13y agoWhere is the problem? Does the tld somehow interfere with you?
- pavanky 13y agoI've started my emacs config from scratch a few months ago to understand it better. Right now it is ~160 lines (not including the plugins). Plugins have been added for Markdown mode, go mode, ESS (for R and Julia) and Jabber for chat. If anyone is interested: emacs config file: https://github.com/pavanky/conf/blob/master/emacs https://github.com/pavanky/conf/blob/master/emacs Run this script to download and install the plguins: https://github.com/pavanky/conf/blob/master/emacs_plugins https://github.com/pavanky/conf/blob/master/emacs_plugins

- jmnicolas 13y agoAccording to Wikipedia : A sexual fetish may be regarded as an enhancing element to a romantic/sexual relationship [...] or as a mental disorder/disorder of sexual preference if it causes significant psychosocial distress for the person or has detrimental effects on important areas of their life. Just sayin' ...
