   Well, a nice office in a "culturally rich city with dozen of events, museums and world-class cuisine"?! Like it's done for all other industries. Some nice polished marketing and the fear of missing out if you don't go to

    What do you mean by "not sure how true is that"? From the article: "Traditionally, Japanese homes were demolished and rebuilt every 20 to 30 years, to implement improved earthquake-safety technology, to provide jobs for gover

    I have this weird "turn on your laptop and your phone cannot see the wi-fi anymore" bug, or whatever this is. I've tested this with different phones, same issue. So, I'm turning on my phone wi-fi and it all works well.

    I haven't been able to use magit. I've tried and tried, but it's too slow for me. It literaly takes 30 seconds just to magit-status the project on a windows machine. So I'm using vc and git-gutter+ for this job. You can

    Just curious why you chose Lyx and not Org, for example. I still have your "emacs mini manual" open in my browser all the time, so I'm sure you feel natural in org-mode too.
