Are you writing all that sql simply to examine the existing data, or you're actively writing migratory expressions and such? For the former - if you're willing to completely alter your perspective here, you may discover something

I have done that for awesomewm https://github.com/agzam/awesomewm.d/blob/main/src/emacs.fnl I'm not using it anymore though. I moved to Hyprland. I built my config in Clojure, but I need to fix

I don't use Windows these days. For Mac I wrote a simple Hammerspoon script; on Linux I do this on every WM I use - they typically have a way. You just need to call emacsclient to load a helper elisp script, e.g., https://gi

I use Yabai on Mac for a WM - it works great with my big screen, but I haven't figured out a good workflow for when I need to use just the laptop, then it becomes a bunch of spaces with one or two windows in each.

What's your wish for? Navigating the chats more efficiently, or simply typing the messages? If the latter, why haven't you figured out a workflow where you do all your typing in Emacs, or whatever your choice of an editor is? I ha

This is actually a legit complaint. The proper naming would be "Org-Babel" - even in the context of Emacs it's almost always, invariable prefixed.

Yup, never had no problem with that. My notes are in Org - if I ever need to grab something to share with a colleague, my yanking command is advised - with a prefix it calls Pandoc and converts to markdown and vice-versa - to get something

> having your markup language tied to an editor Org-mode isn't just a markup though, and Emacs ain't just an editor - it's rather one cohesive system. I use Org-mode to manage all my dotfiles - it simpler than nix or ansib

One of the biggest wins in my life that Emacs has granted me is the principle of never sacrificing plain text liberties. I could've probably achieved similar results using other tools, but the way Emacs puts you into that mindset is ju

What I don't understand in all that noise from the LLM critics - they keep talking about how LLMs are so horrendously bad at writing code as if that's the only thing we're trying to use them for. As if they're not even g

Somewhat relevant: can somebody share good mpv defaults (or some other interesting technique) for playing YT videos? I have managed to get it to work, but it still pauses a lot for bufferring. I wonder if there's maybe some yt-dlp, ffm

I feel there's much more to it. There are so many pieces in Clojure that just feel like they're done right. Even after a decade of using it, I remain happy. Not a single other language (and I tried more than a few) has kept me hap

Yup, only Dired allows you to edit your file structure tree like editing a wiki page and at the same time integrates well with source control. Where else can you mark some files and dirs and see the git log pertaining only marked items so e

Why? Vim is not just a concrete set of products. It's also an idea. One can perfectly remain a die-hard vimmer and use Emacs. That's a fundamental truth unrecognized only by those who misunderstand either Vim or Emacs, or both.

My biggest gripe with macOS vs. Linux is that the former allows IT departments to completely control them. They overload these otherwise very capable machines with so much crap that things start to crawl; they enable FileVault and install a

Some workflows not possible on Windows. I avoid using Windows thus I don't care about the pain of having to depend on it - have zero interest in what's not possible somewhere else. What's your point? The only thing from macOS

Emacs is not really a text editor. It's rather a Lisp REPL with a built-in text editor. Everything what makes Emacs so great is because of that. That specifically makes it difficult to compare with other editors or IDEs. But sure, some

All of these points are wrong, or at least debatable. Emacs is not slow, or unergonomic, and certainly not hard to change. What elitism are you talking about? Is math or string theory elitist? If I find them frustrating (because of learning
