There are some very nice opinions here about going the Quixote way and coming out empty-handed with good reasons against it. This is one of the reasons I read HN daily, most of the time going straight for the comments and not to the article

That means subverting the sovereignty of nations, right? Or I am missing something from this argument? If so, who are the ones with authoritarian views here?

Chat about everything?! I cannot even do a decent search nowadays! The Google-sphere looks like a giant marketplace. If you're not buying or selling but just out for a stroll admiring the countryside, you're out of luck.

@mods, there was the news the other day about Kobe's death. It got flagged, and for good reason. Why is this coronavirus stuff not flagged also? There are currently 3 articles on the front page related to this. It just slipped or is th

Might be related to the rise of Netflix and binge watching, though. Movie-goers go down, the library/movie ration goes up. All is well.

Hahaha! Nice! Exactly the reaction I was hoping to see. I'm really glad that that helped you.

Yes, indeed. All the tools, all the time, always available. Something like writing a macro in Lisp. All the language is there at your disposal and it's nothing compared with C macros where you have huge limitations, it being actually a

In short, you can add new functionality to Emacs yourself. And just like in the world of Lisp, after you add a new functionality, it becomes indistinguishable from what you already have. That is, it looks like it has been there all along, f

Yes, indeed. You can also do that, and other small variations on it depending on the context, with a macro. You go to the end of "josh", press F3, add a comma and a space and you delete the rest of the line, until "sam"

This is mostly a listing of packages and very known ones at that. One of the best features I like is undoing regions. That is, if you know the approximate location of the text that you want to undo, you just select a region that contains th

I agree with your comment, but just for the sake of the argument, let's look at it like this. The elected officials are also responsible for the functioning of the society in general. Sometimes you need quite the acrobatics to achieve

I'm not sure if you contribute directly to the development of qmk firmware also, but I must say it has been a tremendous pleasure to use. I do assume though that your project contributes to the increased visibility of the firmware and

You could try and use one key for changing layers and have all the movement keys, or your most used keys, on that layer. You could even try to palm-press one of they keys since it seems doable on a Plank. Then you would not have a need to u

I'm a bit slow with the keyboard so maybe that's why I don't have problems with these unintended presses. Yet. It's 200 for me, but also like 50 wpm until I manage to get back to speed. Nah, I'm palm-pressing the Ct
