For me: 1. Learn org-agenda. And I do mean really learn it. I use a few of alphapapas amazing packages (org-super-agenda and org-ql). Learn the difference between just a TODO, scheduling, deadlining and tags. Don't overdo it on tags. S

I don't know why you are being downvoted - I agree. I do just that. Last paragraph though I do not agree with at all.

What I tell my programming friends is that if you can see yourself molding your computer user-interface as sort of a hobby, then emacs is most definately for you. If you don't see that as a fun past-time activity, then I would not reco

How people expect anything else from a huge corporation is mind-boggling to me. They open source something and people think they are being alturistic. Just like android. You start with open source, then move more and more things behind the

I am loving all this emacs love lately (I am an emacsophile), but I do find all this attention it is getting suddenly a bit surprising. Is it just that "long lines, LSP, fast syntax hightlighting" is making new people interested,

You are correct. tree-sitter is not in competition with lsp; lsp is project wide (different files), so will do say code completion. tree-sitter is analyzing the current buffer and applying things like highlighting, brackets etc. lsp can do

Why says they are done? Next weekend me and 3 friends are doing our annual LAN-party. We are all older, but it is still so much fun. Super excited!

Admittedly this might not help since it is not CLI, but spend some time this weekend with Emacs and magit. You don't have to use emacs for anything else, just the magit client. It will transform your git experience.

Yes. If you are doing something serious in C++, VSCode does not hold a candle to VS.

Emacs. I have this irrational love for it that no other computer program has ever come close to. Full of warts indeed? Insignificant details no man so in love would heed! That you in such a fundamental way can make it your own puts a smile

I don't understand this. It makes sense "because ML"?

Wow, that brings back memories. I used to go through these, and other similar sites.. Which reminded me of Sulaco [1] :( I remember loving his stuff, especially as I too was involved in quake modding and 3d engines at the time. RIP. 1: htt

Since you are being pedantic; you would not compare .NET to python. You would compare say C# to python.

They are a bit all over the place - I started this years ago so I don't really have anything solid, but searching gives a few results that looks pretty solid ([1] [2]). If you temporarily tried doom [3], I think you could see how it wo

I was just like you. Until a few months ago. I have had mu4e set up for about a year, but I didn't feel comfortable in it, often reverting to the web clients instead, which was miserable. Recently I spent (many) hours making it really

Doing this for something like GNU/Linux is simply not practical, _at all_. In what world can a user be expected to do little else that simply install linux? Since you pipe, can I assume you know everything about the kernel tree? And ba

I agree (and of course I know of the Mozilla things). I remember years ago when things began to really go off the rails. I saw a Nike commercial which for the first time did not say "nike.com", but: "facebook.com/Nike&qu

I think Firefox news is what I comment most on here. I don't know why. Well I guess I do. Web browsers, javascript etc is front and center here - which somewhat means the digital world. All my friends use Chrome, and think I'm wei

Tangeltial, but for me firefox on linux is rock solid. A good while ago as a halfway test I stopped closing tabs to see how ff would perform. Up to around 5500 tabs now, daily driver, amassing my own personal internet so still using old ta

I actually had the tracking popup, I clicked "options", had to unselect a million things, scroll all the way down, and finally they let me decline tracking. So not quite like the old days..

Indeed. And I love how we use other words to make ourselves feel better. Noone ever did genocide; they merely culled. I will be shocked if humanity do not see this differently in a century.

You say this with authority. According to whom is web modern and everything else «quaint»? Not to be that guy again but electron-based apps feels nothing like modern, except maybe in the worst possible sense. «Command line» is still very mu

Anyone else just get good vibes from seeing this? Before everything became 1984 with a couple of companies controlling the internet.. I mean. Blogs! Blogrolls. RSS. I miss the old days. Now get off my lawn.

I just wanted to say that, despite a few mishaps, firefox is what _everybody_ on hn should be using. I can give my browser-time credentials, but really. Firefox is amazing. Care for the open web, fear ie6, and at the same time enjoy firefox

That's not really true; chromium is open source. Chrome, while based on chromium, is not.
