Having to install a special app just to park is not even convenient, it's a pain in the ass.

https://github.com/dharple/detox is a nice tool for this. Sane defaults but configurable. In addition to CLI I use it from emacs dired-mode too: (defun my-dired-detox () (interactive) (dired-do-shell-

JOE is where I started my Unix editor journey, the Wordstar bindings were familiar coming from DOS and Borland tools. From there I went on to jed which also had Wordstar support and it gave me a taste for extensibility. Jed's native ke

But on the other hand a very large chunk of those who would ever consider using a non-GUI text editor come from a vi or Emacs background.

I use godit as my microemacs. It's written in Go so you get a statically linked executable, easy to cross-compile and it supports UTF-8. https://github.com/nsf/godit/

I guess it comes down to personal preferences but for me the touchpad on the X1 Carbon is so much better than the Mac ones. It's just the right size (why does the Mac ones need to be so huge?), lovely physical buttons and the trackpoin

The "proper" lid close gave us the image of engineers walking around the office with the screen slightly propped open to keep their Macs from going to sleep. Yeah I know that there are ways around it but apparently it was too much

Yeah, that sounds about right. And not to mention that with the 5K+ packages currently on MELPA we each had to write 250 of them. It's rough.

Not the OP but yeah, it's definitely up there for me. BUT the big difference is that the decades old portions of my .emacs are still very relevant and in use every day while basically all the work I've sunk into configuring some l

Modern shells have easy ways to deal with this, for example bracketed-paste-magic that ships with zsh. The URL of this comment pastes like this, ready to be passed to commands: https://news.ycombinator.com/edit\?id\=290

I haven't done that once in 25 years of desktop Linux use. One of the reasons I use Linux is that I can actually understand and fix problems. On my main desktop the image has been rolling forward since 2008 when I switched to 64 bit. N

I disagree. I am no GTK fanboy but if you actually look through the linked tutorial it's quite straightforward stuff and all you need to know is C. You can't get much simpler than some of the early examples except maybe in Tcl&#x2

How will this work on the long run? Will you try to upstream the required changes or will the forks have to be maintained perpetually?

A few years ago I had spent a year working with a Go project that made heavy use of one of the (then) popular Go ORMs. Learned my lesson, never again. Magic=Bad.

For many of us switching to a closed browser in 2021 is a difficult proposition because of the security, trust and longevity issues. The value trade-off would have to be pretty extreme to even consider it.
