Apparently, it is set to false by default in Zen Browser. In my Firefox it was still true.

I believe convenience and actually wanting to give something back to the creators would have many people pay for pro features, since it’s actually “Pay once, use for life”, which is a rare and welcome sight in this subscription-flooded worl

It seems like they borrowed heavily from Notion, Obsidian and RemNote, as far as I can tell (wouldn’t call it a knock-off though, since there are sooo many apps in this space that you don’t really know who came up with what anymore). But th

Good idea to update the radio targets along with the wrapping. Also, I didn’t know `insert-pair` exists, could have saved me some typing. :)

To quickly link to bullet points, just use [[*My bullet point]] (if you omit the *, it may still work but Org also finds non-heading elements like table names with the same text). Personally, I like to create custom ids for bullet points so

I couldn’t find the command you mentioned “org-insert-radio-target-brackets” in my Emacs and it doesn’t appear to be in the manual[1] either. But of course it is very trivial to write, in case anyone else needs this: (defun org-insert-r

Clojure developers also often make use of single-letter variable names, following conventions in `clojure.core`: https://guide.clojure.style/#idiomatic-names My rule of thumb is to only use short names in the local scope of

In case anyone finds this who is also interested: I just stumbled upon an implementation of shadcn/ui components with css modules that looks pretty solid: https://github.com/qwalker8408/shadcn-css/tree/ma

I love the approach of shadcn and the fact that they use Radix primitives, which have a focus on accessibility. But I wish they would have a pure CSS option without tailwind style classes. It took me some time to translate the classes shadc

I second that. One of my favourite things to do when I’m bored is to flip through the INFO manuals and see what functionality of Emacs (or some of the often equally-well documented packages) I haven’t explored yet. It is so pleasent to navi

Would also love to see v2 finally get released, since I'm a big fan of Berkeley Mono and would like more weights and widths to make my Emacs look nicer. From their update in february[1] this year it seems like it is basically complete

As an aside for Clojure users, there is a nice “declarative, functional and extensible” wrapper for JavaFX called cljfx[1] that has been around for some years now. When I tried it last time to prototype a desktop app, I found it really plea

Without any solutions or even problems to begin with and without having a teacher by your side, I found that LLMs can be a good-enough learning assistant. Of course, you cannot rely on their answers and they sometimes lead you astray, but w

As an autodidact without an “official” CS degree, discrete Mathematics seemed to me like a key area to open up more advanced topics and solve many practical problems in programming. And indeed it helped me on many such occasions (although I

I was trying out Arc and almost forgot about it, but now knowing about this feature changes everything, thanks for pointing it out! Very often I need to see two or more pages side by side and I just hate making a mess in my browser with mul

I think you can get away without learning grids, but flexbox is a must - given its convenience over the old “float-hacks” and its omnipresence in modern CSS. Besides the already mentioned css-tricks articles, I recommend checking out the gu

I am also a big fan of hydras, but I use them more for workflow things like window movement, editing org tables or quicker navigation in org headings/trees and it complements my keybinding system in `meow`[1] (similar to Evil or the Ka

Whenever I find myself learning about something where I know that I will not use it frequently enough to actually remember its keystrokes/commands/etc. I create a new “personal documentation” for it as an .org file (I have a centr

I suspect that the “crap applications” issue arises not necessarily due to the method being wrong, but more likely due to people disregarding step 4 in the article: “Finally, once completely done, go back and perfect”. It may be because of

Some more context: Ben Fry posted a thread on X in 10/2023[1] where he announced and explained his decision to resign from the Processing Foundation. Seems like Processing got left out from expenses despite their large budget, running

If I could afford it, I would buy this just to support the idea and invest in an industry that focusses more on reducing the “virtual noise” and creating computers that are more like natural tools/artefacts that blend in with our envir

I know a lot of people think that you write more parentheses in Lispy languages, but actually in most cases you just type them in a different order, e.g. instead of `foo(x, y)` to call a function, you type `(foo x y)` and you even save a co

Reagent is nice and has been around for about a decade now, but I moved away from it towards very thin wrappers around React[1], because I felt like it was adding too much additional complexity on top of React, which is already quite comple

I also came back to B&W because I’ve noticed that with structural editing I think more in terms of s-expressions than parentheses and distinguishing them isn’t that much of a problem anymore.

TIL that there is a whole package for “Common Lisp Emulation”[1] in Emacs that adds functions and control structures from CL “to make Emacs Lisp programming significantly more convenient”. Never developed a package for Emacs myself, but I f

This is interesting and reminds me of the idea of “thinking in action” where insights/understanding happens while interacting with the concrete subject matter in exploration, experimentation, etc., which seems to be exactly what the au

I actually don’t like the text that I am working on to look like a refined press article in a magazine, a beautifully typeset page from a book or a nice looking website. It is not a published text. It should look rough, unfinished, unrefine

I actually just checked and it isn’t, but it would not surprise me if it was real, given there are commands such as `M-x butterfly`, `M-x fortune` or `M-x doctor` in Emacs [1]. [1]: https://www.masteringemacs.org/article&#x2

Take a look at the GitHub readme[1]: “Lem supports other programming languages thanks to its built-in LSP client. You can choose between an Emacs and a Vim mode.”. Although I wish they’d explore the Kakoune/Helix style of editing too,

Many of these suggestions made me remember my own experiences, some where I intuitively followed them and some where I did not. Reading this write-up made me realize their value and will hopefully remind me that I need to do these things mo
