I connect all my usual sites with history completion from the address bar. I never type them.

Then I recommend M-x report-emacs-bug The emacs developers will be very interested to hear about it.

If you use it for a while you get used to it. It's just another programming language.

People who don't know how to program emacs don't get how easy it is to write some code in it to make your life easier. Some say Atom and VSCode also have plugins. That's true, but can you write code to extend some VSCode func

Microsoft is still an American company if the cloud servers are in Canada. Can't the US government tell Microsoft to hand over the data (which MS can fetch remotely) if it needs it for some terrorist investigation?

May be of interest: The author creates small wrappers to kill processes, search files, etc. The concept could be extended to recognize certain object types. E.g. if you select some files with search then you could choose from a list of oper

I'm not familiar with the scene. Are the speedrunners mostly kids with lots of free time? This hobby must be time consuming. Or are there also hardcore older gamers among them, who started playing in the 80s, 90s and they have jobs, fa

I don't know the exact temp of course, but it felt very cold. Like sweater temperature and in 20C I don't wear sweater.

by dmortin 7y ago
20C can also be OK, but those stores were set to 15C or below which was unnecessarily cold.

Plenty of such block of flats have AC these days. Lots of people installed ACs in the last several years, since the extreme summer heats became the norm.

by dmortin 7y ago
I don't get it either. Anyone has an explanation? Why is it good if it's so cold inside you have to wear a sweater?

by dmortin 7y ago
Not the US, but I was in Canada once as a tourist and on a hot day I went into several stores for things. The air conditioning was on everywhere which is OK, but it was set so cold, that I was freezing in my T-shirt. I don't know if it

Did you consider other cheaper countries like in Eastern Europe (Hungary, Slovenia, etc?)

It's strange that a rich area can't take care of this problem. E.g. supporting the homeless some way, cleaning them up and helping them to find some job and housing.

Cross platform SDKs are more mature on the desktop than on mobile, so doing the same on the desktop should be easier.

As the sibling comment says you should try editing remote files with the editor running on your computer. Tramp provides this transparently for Emacs. You don't have to manually log in to edit remote files.

I don't know notepad++, so I don't know if you can open any file in it from any directory just by typing the file name. I never navigate directory structures when opening files, because emacs completes files for me from any direct

Even if you don't use emacs for coding Java, etc. it can be still useful, e.g note taking, task management with org mode.

Maintaining a fork takes effort and this effort grows when the codebases diverge from each other. If the affected code is at a busy location in the source code then other changes can also affect it which makes maintaining the fork harder i

Org rifle also does word (substring) search in any order in the title+description if you type multiple words separated with spaces.
