One have to be careful to not generalize their power, since I hear this a lot. It is strictly restricted to the "cultural sphere", just like a lot of politics itself. It is all about managing affections, not actions. Woke is perfo

Aren't fewer workdays better for employment, because more people can be employed? I'm guessing it's more complicated, but is there some clear tendency?

Also note that with newer Emacs version there is project.el, where all you have to do to replace all instances of "foo" with "bar" is: <Ctrl> + x + p + r "foo" <enter> "bar" <enter>

The problem with Bitcoin is that POW is an unbounded competition of who can provide more computational power, ie. energy, to represent a consensus. Comparing the energy usage to Argentina, Island or any other country is therefore just a sna

If this can happen to CentOS, do we have to fear a comparable fate for Fedora? I've been using it for the last year, and it has been a nice change, but I wouldn't want it to die out because of strategy decisions. On the other hand

I think that that is because Microsoft would probably only create a Walled Garden. What's the chance they will allow a system where anyone can host their own repository, and add/remove them as a user? EEE doesn't seem applica

I second the Emacs point. I have Mail and IRC configured in Emacs, and they are my favorite ways to be contacted. Most other protocols/sites require me to go out of my way to check if I have a message (either by visiting the site or ch

Vi is the editor of the Unix programming environment (among other things the shell). Emacs is a shell, that introduces a different kind of programming environment. The OS is still Unix, it's wrong to say that it is it's own thing,

IMO that's like saying why all those athletes waste their time warming up, instead of breaking world records. It's ok to have fun.

Let's put it this way: A technical issue is at the core of the problem (the practical inability to "just create" a new browser), that is then exploited by companies such as Google for their own interest. I wasn't familia

Simple: You use ELPA or MELPA Stable, and if necessary clone the repo and install the package via M-x package-install-file.
