Although it is in the orphanage, the current maintainer is very receptive to contributions. I believe there isn't much activity because it is very stable, and there aren't that many users to find its flaws. For me, the biggest pro

Except when it doesn't work. I tried using it a few months ago on both Windows and WSL, but I had to give up and resort to run a Maxima kernel on EIN.¹ I was going to try again before commenting, but I broke my WSL setup last week and

I had to study entropy twice in college for different courses that were 2 years apart from each other, and I still remember this one quote I read somewhere: The first time you study entropy, you won't understand it. The second time

Well, the author says "trying to get back " (emphasis mine), which makes me think that there is some prior experience, it's not "has only started." The article also says: > Over a couple of years, I have man

Thank you for answering. Also, I did check the dictionary before asked. As others comments pointed out, it does have a meaning of adjacency or contrast, and I guessed that this is where this usage was coming from. But still, even with this

I have a question totally unrelated to the post, but that I finally decided to ask because of it. In the tweet by Simon Willson at the top of the blog post, he uses the word "against": Started experimenting with "git note

Thinking about "tools" in a more general sense, I'd mention Pandoc,¹ which is an end-user application, and PureScirpt,² a programming language. ¹ https://pandoc.org ² https://www.purescript.org

I really wish I could use Haskell all the time instead of Python and the most dreaded programming language, a.k.a. MATLAB.¹ I guess all that's left for me is to do whatever toy projects come to my mind in my free time. ¹ https:/&

Well dang it... I have both astigmatism and myopia. I guess I have double the discomfort, then.

by luispauloml 4y ago
Up until I read your comment, I never really made any association between my astigmatism and my discomfort with dark themes. Now it all makes sense. Also, since too much white was never a problem for me, my theme of choice in Emacs is Nano

God-mode is by far my favorite, followed by Magit, Avy and Ace Window (of the same author as Avy).

Aside from what has been said, it is possible that whoever is behind lsp-mode may have never actually suggested to merge it into master. I haven't checked if this is the case, though, but if it is, then the decision is a lot simpler.

That's true. But as for floor numbering, specifically, it depends on the country: some places have a "ground floor" between the 1st underground floor and the 1st "above ground" floor.

I now noticed that I read your comment in the opposite order: "just don't read the abstract". I am glad I asked you, though, because I see your point and I agree with you for I have seen this happening before.

And how would I know if a given paper is of interest for me if I don't read the abstract?
