Thanks, and apologies---I didn't mean to come off as negative. Yes, this code is cleaner and certainly maintainable a couple years down the road. It will work in a slightly different way than the shell script (the lack of space in &quo

Not sure it is more maintainable than a shell solution. Look at this in two years from now thinking there might be a bug somewhere in there (say you want to include negatives and scientific notation). In the shell, a quick inspection suffic

Dired is indeed a neat example. As per the linked post, one fancy thing one can do is make the buffer view of the directory editable, rewrite names for the files using the full power of Emacs editing and then dump the modified file names t

Why is it illegal infringement if one modifies embedded software locally (as opposed to selling it). Is that not the equivalent of writing a note within a book? “assure that the intellectual property of Manufacturer, including copyrighted

Is there any workflow in particular that you are missing in an Emacs/magit combo? I’ve found it easy to add a couple extra lines of lisp to fetch upstreams regularly or to “sync” worktrees in various remotes. The most complicated thin

I don’t understand why if common usage of such terms is fine and even desirable in daily context, the same terms should not be used in scientific communication. If people are unclear or ambiguous, then of course that’s undesirable and shoul

I agree. I see a minor glimpse of hope with people using mastodon for communication, and basic clients running within Emacs; perhaps eventually one could also have a personal server running (or at least controlled) within Emacs. Once the e

If browsers ran lisp and the ecosystem was as advanced as that of elisp, then one could macro away some of the challenges of the modern web. If one liked to do so, they could opt to allow the execution of only GNU-compatible lisp code, and

Yes please keep up the hope. As I mentioned in a deep thread below, the causal link between EBV and MS only got established in 2022 so there is hope that in 10 years time you will live through major medical advances. (I would not be able t

So sorry to hear. As of 2022 there is enough evidence for a causal link between EBV (the virus that also is behind mononucleosis) and MS later in life. The hope is that humanity will eventually have strong drugs and maybe a vaccine. Unfort

Yes there is probably a particular virus that’s involved. It is EBV, unfortunately a very common virus that can get reactivated by COVID-19. The picture only got clear this year and there are no great therapies or vaccines yet. In this stud
