That sounds like a horrible way of learning Emacs, but fair enough. I don't think you need to know elisp as a prerequisite but personally I learnt enough of it to be able to get by without Customize. You might want to read Zed's E

I was the same way (and still am somewhat, I can't get hygenic macros into my head) but due to the differences between Scheme and Common Lisp. What helped me was writing imperative code that Scheme people would surely scoff at, and gra

I've always thought that the core idea of PHP, the intermixing of code and HTML is an incredibly elegant solution to a very difficult problem. But at the same time, the language itself does suck (although I won't discount the impr

People seemingly often forget how brutal Chinese authoritarianism can be. I don't know whether it's the fault of the news or if it's selective amnesia, but there are few worse cases of authoritarianism than the country that w

No? In what world is there a government agency in the USA that prosecutes anti-Trump journalists? That's most of them, ffs. This is just conspiratorial bullshit not at all based in reality.

They did, but they also reverted most of those changes.

I've asked this to someone else already, but what would that be? It's not like the Saudi government is just going to let you take out TV ads.

You do realise that most of the world compromises of authoritarian states, right? Not to mention, authoritarianism by whose standards? I know a lot of people that would say EU countries are authoritarian.

What EU censorship? The RT ban?

Lobbying only works in a democracy, and the UAE is too rich to simply bribe.

Weirdly enough, I don't know why I use the mouse right-handed. I was forced into doing it in any particular way, and beside the fact that I was already an adult when I learned of the existence of left-handed mice, I can't think of
