Helm is great and I still use it occasionally even after I recently transitioned to using orderless, marginalia, consult, vertico, etc. for most things like that. C-h b has become my recent goto for inspecting the keybindings on various mod

Some of the very recently upgraded batteries in standard emacs include describe-bindings (C-h b gives a neatly organized, foldable output that greatly enhances discoverability) and emoji-insert that uses a neat selection interface.

To the authors of such blurbs about scientific breakthroughs: please cite the exact paper you refer to within the first paragraph, including a hyperlink. Using a generic phrase like: "... a team has demonstrated a way to detect errors

This suggestion runs counter to the US system of finance. The secret service was created to protect the value of the dollar against attempts like those made by tether. Why would the government today want to do a 180 and give up the power of

I keep my fingers crossed that the worst of Delta is indeed over for NYC, but I don’t feel more than 50% confident. Last winter NYC experienced a huge surge before the introduction of new variants. I hope the vaccines, booster, and upcoming

Our brain was not built to directly transmit signals nor to accept input wires to read / write signals. I am sure one or the other can eventually be overcome safely. But we are not there yet.

The information around this particular variant is still rather limited. It is good news that so far it has not become widespread in the US and it is not considered an immediate thread right now. Question and answer (from Fauci) is at 20:30

Agreed. A malicious terminal could do all that and more. And it won’t have to edit your bashrc, though it certainly could.

Very few admins would switch from bash (possibly zsh), and bash has tons of eyes looking over its codebase. Terminals are interchangeable and could direct the shell in ways that can be invisible to the user.

Many news items, including this one, make the same mistake in listing the EU rule as limiting to 75 “daily” cases per 100,000 over the last two weeks. The rule is for 75 total cases per 100,000 over two weeks. https://www.consil

I think that Emacs solved a lot of important problems before others did. The rest of the world decided to reinvent and rename things, and they popularized some of these things. Emacs held its ground, so now people who transition to Emacs

I’m curious: how do people verify the security of such low-level pieces of infrastructure?
