Is it really that much harder to read than Markdown? - Headings: Markdown uses #, Org uses asterisks. - Italic: Markdown uses asterisks or underscores, Org uses / - Bold: Markdown uses double asteriskes, Org uses asterisks - Inline Cod

But that's for individual programs in a larger system. Those of us who live in Emacs do follow the Unix philosophy at the granularity of individual applications inside Emacs or even individual Elisp functions.

I'm pretty sure that Gemini users are for the most part not fans of the modern web!

Did you mean "tweening" rather than "tweeting"?

I'm not sure what you mean by "digging developer forums", but I fully agree with you that Emacs Calc is not a good choice for everyone, in fact, I would not recommend it to anyone that isn't already an Emacs user (but

That is highly unconvincing! Isn't the quantity a number? Have the syntax be @<ingredient>{<number> <units>}, where the units may contain spaces but not braces. You can even make the space between quantity and units o

Looks very cool, congratulations! Have you tried Emacs Calc? Chalk reminds me of Emacs Calc, but without the symbolic computation (and without date calculations or anonymous functions).

The % in this syntax is not to indicate information about scaling, it is just a meaningless separator: "3%tsp". I'd say both "3tsp" or "3 tsp" look better.

I'd remove the % sign from the syntax for ingredients.

I can understand not promising to fix bugs (in fact, I'd say that's the default), but not wanting to even find out about them seems very strange. It must be someone who doesn't like their own software.

I use a niche language because it is by far the best language in which you can make the things I want to make as a hobby: tools to augment Emacs. I think that's how you are supposed to pick a language, right? Think of your goal and cho

Emacs' Org mode gets this right.

Or it makes it obvious the person is just learning the syntax and wrote themselves a reminder of what that weird ++ symbol means?

I guess it depends on how concrete the code is. For very general things there just are no good names. I see the point in calling a variable anualSalary, say, but in a function for reversing a list is elementOfList really better than element

Yes. But it would be tough to change the culture. Math papers are meant to be read, so people pay attention to the explanations. Computer programs (at least if they garner users!) are run much more often than read, so it's natural to f

That wouldn't explain it: vos is used in Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Costa Rica and in parts of several other Latin American countries.

It feels so weird seeing my packages mentioned on Hacker News! (I wrote embark and orderless and cowrote marginalia.)

I basically never use ls (directly) anymore since Emacs took over almost all my computing.

Why wouldn't you use Emacs Lisp to automate small tasks? I think it's great for that purpose, it's usually pretty easy to give a utility a very comfortable user interface in Emacs.

Well, if it didn't, they could optimize the compiler by removing those optimizations. :)

It's not a CLI at all, it's text-based UI that runs inside Emacs.

I don't think this is true either. I went to one of the pages, https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/intro.html , clicked "Sow org source" and it took me to https://orgmode.org&#

by omaranto 5y ago
That's not true. Org has a subsystem called Babel that can run code in lots of different languages, and it's pretty easy to add support for new ones.

There's Emacs's Org Mode.

> The google translated version says nothing about banning genetically engineered corn, just banning glyphosate? That's a question, right? The answer is no: articles 5 and 6 do talk about banning genetically modified corn.

I lived in the Boston area for five years and it was a great experience overall, it's quite walkable. The one thing I could never quite get used to was public transit taking longer than walking! You often had a choice of walking for 20
