Emacs does have great documentation, but those functions you linked to are a perfect example of the problem with Elisp's "standard library": the naming and conventions have been grown organically and at this point often feel

I think your skepticism is justified, but there are two tools that I have seen that use tree-sitter for diffing: https://github.com/wilfred/difftastic https://github.com/afnanenayet/diffsitter (I

The App Store would not reject an app just because its source was under the GPL. It's the other way around: it's the FSF who says that Apple's terms don't allow full compliance with the GPL.

Not sure what you're referring to. It's absolutely standard for iOS apps to load dynamic libraries that are bundled along with them. Additionally, Emacs itself doesn't consist of more than one executable.

This was also something that was enhanced recently and will be in Emacs 29: https://github.com/emacs-mirror/emacs/blob/21b387c39bd9cf07c... > Emacs is now capable of editing files with very long lines. &gt

Rust is over 12 years old at this point as a publicly-available project (its development started internally sometime in the late 00s; it was publicized in summer of 2010).

The restaurants are there and successful because of the density, though. The falafel shop around the corner from three multi-storey office buildings can't afford to have a location in every suburb that formerly sent workers to the busi

I don't want to be preachy, but as someone with similar issues who's navigating my way through it...it's worth considering whether you are not harming yourself , in a very passive and silent, but chronic way. Each day that g

Thirded, and I want to expand on your point about "picking the wrong path". For a lot of decisions (especially low-stakes ones) you don't even have to go down the path. Just having taken a decision, arbitrary as it is, give

Two suggestions that might make it easier for you. There's a package called `undo-fu` that puts a thin layer on top of the undo system to keep the behavior strictly linear. And built in, there are the `undo-only` and `undo-redo` comman

The essay seems to be from someone who is more often on the giving help side than the asking side. And I read it from that perspective: starting from the assumption that you want to help, here's a thing that will make you more effe

I believe the extended overhanging curved tip is just the sign of a captive crow that is, sadly, not taking good care of its beak. Raven beaks are generally much broader.

The way to handle this, I believe, is to make sure that the bug reports resulting from the "tornado"'s work end up back in their own lap. Don't let someone else fix them, especially not someone on another team. It has

> changing history on an (upstream) PR hurts the review experience e.g. comments on lost commits. It does, but this is specifically a weakness of GitHub's UI, not of the process itself. It's handled better by other tools.

That's fair, and indeed, going back to The Office, the one Sociopath move that Arch-Clueless Michael Scott made in the entire series was leaving in a pique to found The Michael Scott Paper Company. Which was just successful enough at i

Joffrey was a Clueless if ever there was one. He had no grasp of strategy, no skill at manipulation, no understanding of how to present himself. His mother on the other hand was a Sociopath's Sociopath.

The premise of the essay is that a truly Clueless would never do that; that's Sociopath behavior. That said, they are just archetypes, and to the extent we take them as valid at all, every real human will have some mix of the traits. (
