One of the most annoying things after installing Tahoe for me, that for no good reason an ordinary app would randomly lose its focus. In the midst of my typing. This is unbelievably preposterous and I just can't stop hating Apple for t

Sure - florists, influencers and soccer moms don't use Org-mode. Real hackers do, because it is extremely developer-oriented. And of course it won't ever be more popular, simply because there are far more soccer moms in the world

> in a country where everyone drives on the right What if I told you that your analogy breaks completely if you actually consider what Org-mode is. Think of Markdown as a noun (a thing) and Org-mode as a verb (a system that does things).

Yeah, that's some glaring omissions - not including Sam Aaron's work makes me distrust the whole list. SonicPi is fundamental for teaching kids music and programming and Overtone is just mind-blowing - I watched people DJing music

It could be also because, we foreigners learn to write English prose through our reading comprehension, not via our listening circuitry. The text probably feels "normal" to me when I read it back to myself, but there's no &qu

Let me show you a typical process of writing a relatively simple Emacs package and publishing it on MELPA. I'll show you: https://github.com/agzam/wiktionary-bro.el We'll dive into some technical nuances, tal

Like I said: "writing my WM config". So, for example, I would write in my editor an expression to get the list of windows on the current display, then I can immediately map/filter through them, group, sort, read any parameter

Okay, prove me wrong on that claim that Emacs has plain text editing features unmatched by anything else. Give it a try.

Having a Lisp system to control your WM/compositor is amazingly empowering, being able to just write some expressions in a buffer and evaluate them on the fly to command windows, apps, keybindings, various settings from sound and displ

Just effing stop. This shit sounds like Y2K jokes - you're only making a fool of yourself. Lazy setup, zero insight - these jokes void of humor, irony, or even a pinch of truth. Anyone who opens their mouth about Emacs not having decen

It's because of the "status quo". Once you start using immutable-first language on the front-end, e.g., Clojurescript - your perspective changes.

by iLemming 11mo ago
Yup, paradoxically, it's also the 2nd worst language for almost everything.

But why whenever I try to use it, it tries to hurt me like it's kicking me right in my batteries?

I wasn't trying to denigrate Common Lisp, I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings. It does have comprehensive support for all kinds of data structures. I wasn't talking it being limited to "list processing". SBCL is great

I don't have great experience of using CL for analyzing data, because of "why?", if I already have another Lisp that is simply amazing for data. Clojure, unlike lists in traditional Lisps, based on composable, unified abstrac

None of this even remotely true. I've gotten into Clojure without knowing jackshit about Java, almost ten years later, after tons of things successfully built and deployed, still don't know jackshit about Java. Mia, co-host of &#x

I can't speak for Julia - never used it; never used Common Lisp for analyzing data (I don't think it's very "data-oriented" for the modern age and the shape of data), but Clojure is really not "obscure" -

by iLemming 11mo ago
From many practical points, Clojure is great for data. And you can even leverage python libs via clj-python.

What version of Emacs are you using? I stopped using Mitsuharu port because of its weird behaviors and instability and been using plain GNU/Emacs - typically I install it via emacs-plus homebrew formula. It's been very stable for

React made immutability patterns more relevant which increased discussion of it. Some people did get preachy about it. Yet dismissing immutability entirely just because of that misses the entire point of why it's actually useful in man
