These days evil is the goto vim-keybinding package - viper is unmaintained IIRC and hasn't been for some time, and evil works tremendously well.

How is “drop-down” an anti-pattern as opposed to drop-up?

Ah, I see. This is actually one of my favorite features of ido-find-file. I love the fact that I can treat the current path section I'm writing as independent of the path I've already navigated to. To each their own.

I love ido's find-file, but I think that's because I've made it behave much differently than the defaults. The ability to use backspace to go up one full directory, jump to home with ~/ at any point, jump to / with

"dependencies" was a reference to the numerous plugins I use to get ido in a state that I enjoy. I don't particularly like stock ido, though I prefer it to the standard completing-read.

> That's not true. Helm doesn't just insert .asterisk, which is why it supports out of order matching. If one searches for "file rename" Helm will find rename-file, while typing "filerename" in ido it will n

More power to you, but I couldn't go back to manually-invoked completion at this point. An environment which gives me as much information as possible as quickly as possible in as few keystrokes as possible is a big priority for me, an

Agreed. Regular melpa is practically a parody of a package repo - sometimes it seems it took the worst option at every possible decision. Building directly from HEAD, using insane version numbering that causes package.el to prioritize it ov

This works great if you have all the commands memorized. If you don't, fuzzy matching in ido is a fantastic way to find commands and variables that do what you want (Emacs has a great tendency to name user-facing commands very sensibly

I've heard good things about ivy, but haven't got around to revamping my config in some time. I'll check it out next time I do.

Ah, helm-flx didn't exist when I quit helm, and flx-ido did. Question: does helm-flx sort results, or does it just throw back an unsorted list of matching entries, like normal helm? I consider the sorting an even bigger and more ridicu

Emacs is actually having a bit of a renaissance - ever since package.el came out and became widely adopted, Emacs adoption seems to have increased significantly, and Emacs development is quite active these days.

Helm may be the most flagrant example of a terrible package that remains inexplicably popular. I haven't uninstalled it yet, because there are a few packages that use helm that don't have ido equivalents yet, but I try to minimize

Re-reading this a couple hours later, I agree. I responded to needless negativity with more needless negativity. Guess my IRC habits have been leaking into my other hobbies. I'd edit it, but it's been too long since it was posted.

Representing yourself is never, ever, ever a good idea. Not even if you are a lawyer (and if you were, you'd know this). "The man who represents himself has a fool for a client" is one of the few legal truisms that is actuall

We already have enough firepower with standard nuclear warheads to destroy civilization a few times over. I doubt a bigger bomb would fundamentally change the equation at all.

If airlines could do so, they would. It’s very expensive to fly an empty plane. But those planes are on a tight and inflexible schedule - they’d be flying even if no one boarded the plane at all.

No, it'd be way faster to just do it all in assembly. These fancy "high level languages" and "memory management" and "libraries" are just cons foisted on poor unsuspecting programmers by middle management
