This is a good point. The banner image is something I've been doing on all my articles, and it's creating the wrong perception. I'm probably going to stop adding these. All my other content is software engineering related,

I wrote this. If you ask an LLM what to make of IJ as a Sierpinski Gasket, it doesn't yield anything too interesting (it mainly talks about the voids representing the absence of plot points / missing characters). As far as I kno

Ah, maybe I made my claim unclear. So my claim is that the 3 vertices are the institutions (ETA, Ennet House, the Wheelchair Assassins), not plots. I agree that IJ is kind of plotless, and that to me is what the voids in the Sierpinski Ga

I defer persistence to other packages like the built in bookmarking system in Emacs or activities.el. Basically, the only concern I want in the workspace manager is within-session workspace creation and navigation. For those super complex

Clear, thank you! I didn't know about Nano Banana for this! Would be cool if they let you edit the image text directly, not sure though, I've never used that tool. Impressive that it generated that!

Emacs for 25+ years is admirable! Question for you - did you ever use Icicles? I'm going to add that to the history section in the previous post that discussed the history of completion in Emacs and how we got to VOMPECCC. The author
