To my way of thinking, the idea that you would remove the toolbar in graphical mode defeats the purpose. Emacs keybindings are complicated enough that I'd rather keep the ability to click a button available at all times even if I don&#

This isn't the first time Adobe has taken a decent app w/ potential and run it into the ground: Dreamweaver did many things, not all of them well, but it was never actively terrible. Over time, its functionality got split out into

Unsaid in all of this is that Emacs isn't my main text editor - that is the job of BBEdit where the GUI is both expected and rather good - instead, it is the "editor of last resort" (Vim is inscrutable to me). The emacs GUI i

Counterpoint: If you want a terminal w/o the bloat of a full GUI, but still most of the advantages, `xterm-mouse-mode` will get you 80% of the way there: (require 'mouse) (xterm-mouse-mode t) (mouse-wheel-mode t)

Ah, now I see... The thing that really made dotfiles click for me was the switch to zsh in macOS + Armin Briegel's (of Scripting OS X) book, which laid out exactly how the transition was going to work. I'd done some basic things i

As it was explained to me, the worry was less about actual exploits and more to do with supporting various HTML features in the respective clients (Think Caniuse, but specifically for email). Back when I was doing some work in this area, th

Can confirm - While I was decent at math up to a point, fractions and long division in 4th Grade sent me down a hole that took me years to get out of...until Algebra II as a junior in HS crushed me. I blame this on my Chemistry teacher - a

In addition, I wouldn't be surprised to find that many of the people who are in the target demographic for this feature don't itemize - and never have a need for such practices. A 1040 + W2 might the only equation these people n

In addition, so far I know, the @page "locations" (e.g, @top-center, etc.) are not well supported yet in all browsers which means the flexbox fallback is probably as close as we're going to get. https://www.quackit

I solved the issue by installing manually, but even that is a pain with TeX Live - some of the directory tree needed to be created before BasicTex was aware of the packages I was using.

By volume, yes... However, my choice of this example was intentional. You're not looking for a low bounce rate, you want - and need - exactly zero . Questions about standards are moot in a plaintext environment and security concerns a

Counterpoint: If you have to guarantee delivery, I don't see how you can choose something other than plaintext unless you can make assurances about the environment recipients are using to read the message. Case in point: Last I heard

Flexbox support has been [included][1] since 2018, although my use case was the prototypical one - a single row w/ 3 columns - so YMMV with how it handles more complex layouts. [1]: https://github.com/Kozea/WeasyPr

Weasyprint has a bunch of options to do almost anything you can think of, but in my case, it's just a generator. To your point that htmldocs supports more modern CSS features, I can see the advantage. Although the most complicated thin

Once I had the chance to move away from Word, TeX was the first place I went. That said, I eventually tired of the obtuse error messages and felt I was making things more complicated for no real gain. Even keeping a BasicTex environment wor

Not quite - more that there’s a UI on that index. The LKML [mirror][] has a page with links to the various lists, but if you dig around in those links, there doesn’t appear to be a way to post new items or reply to existing messages in a br

How is this different if you work alone, on one machine, and simply don't use a remote? I realize this is a bastardization of the concept, but for personal projects, it still sounds reasonable. Reads further... Eh, I guess USB driv

One other distinction I would make between this and the email centric workflow that (almost) every mailing list that I know of these days has is the inclusion of a publicly accessible URL with an index of messages.

Disclaimer: Not a lawyer It isn't clear to me if Apple's internal team working on this was the original plan - think "embrace, extend, extinguish", or "we'll do the basics, everything else is a 'third-pa

I suspect my frustration here is that although Inkscape's controls sort of look like Word or any number of other word processors, since it can modify a document's underlying XML, it requires keeping both paradigms in your head as

While most of the SVG text examples I've seen have a "word art" type of feel to them, I was mostly thinking it would be nice to show another common use case. Recently, I've been using Standard Ebooks' toolkit to con

Very nice. It would be nice to see an example or two with text + an image, as this is the battle I'm currently fighting. Alignment is a trip, let me tell you... While I've played around with Inkscape, I'm definitely on the &q

The current state of affairs re encryption is an accident of history that I would bet doesn’t last much longer once Apple gets formally involved. “Apple says it won't be supporting any proprietary extensions that seek to add encryption

As I understand it - I was a bit young when it happened, so all I have are secondhand accounts - IE 5 on Mac was substantially better that other browsers due in part to its CSS support.

As I’ve been converting from .docx to HTML, I was pleasantly surprised to find that using flexbox to lay out three elements in a single row is perfectly fine and - bonus points- the CSS doesn’t make want to gouge my eyes out. To your point

I had an internship during college at a small web shop that did a ton of HTML mail. Early on, after I had completed a project, they took a half day to try and teach me how floats worked. Note: If you think web browsers are weird, just wa

If you're specifying @screen as the Media Type, the primary reason I can think of for going back to floats is art direction - especially if you wanted to float images alongside a block of text. I know there are "better" metho
