Another cool thing about undo in Emacs is that it's context aware. By default, you can select any block of text and the undo command will cycle through the changes only from that region of your buffer.

I was running Debian stable with xfce4 (4.12.5) for the last few years. A few months ago, chromium and other applications started to give me major rendering problems, becoming completely transparent when switching virtual desktop "work

I did my undergrad CS thesis on this topic and implemented a "power of two choices" load balancing module in NGINX. When simulating load distribution across servers, two-choices does an outstanding job at keeping things evenly dis

Wow! Happy to have shared a similar experience on Isle Royal in the summer of 2010. One of the highlights of the trip for sure!

I think few people know the difference, so they say backslash when they mean forward slash.

I'm not exactly sure I understand the use-case, but as far as the example used in the article, shell-command-on-region accomplishes the same kind of thing. Why not leave the "generation code" as a comment in your file the sam

I use magit as well. I don't end up editing my dotfiles very often anyway, so it's not a big deal to execute a couple git commands here and there. The convenience of not linking files all over the place or depending on other scrip

The best way I've found to organize dotfiles is to simply use a bare git repo. > git init --bare $HOME/.dotfiles` > alias dot="git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles/ --work-tree=$HOME" > dot config --local sta

This is extremely cool. Emacs has a similar, though less intelligent, language agnostic auto-complete function called hippie-expand[0], which has generally been good enough for my needs. [0] https://www.gnu.org/software&#x2F

I use an ergodox at work with mx-clears, it’s the most comfortable keyboard I’ve ever had. The 12” macbook is the greatest laptop I’ve ever had. In fact, I actually prefer the v2 “paper thin” keyboard to the traditional one.

While I'd agree that net/http is very capable, it still comes with a variety of gotchas when doing timeouts, logging, routing, etc. I think gin[1] is a good bet for jumping into building something without having to dive into doing

Emacs was designed with the mouse in mind, you can get pretty far just using the toolbar and menu items like you normally would. My understanding is that Emacs users don't typically work in a shell, they use the GUI application.

This would take care of that use case as well. It's a webapp that saves only a single file that can only be downloaded once. The idea is that the URL is only known to you. Pretty neat idea for personal file sharing.

I learned to touch-type Dvorak about 5 years ago and it's been fantastic. It takes a moderate amount of commitment to become proficient, but immediately more comfortable and natural.
