This is so confused, it's making my head hurt. What I think the author wanted was to remove ASCII emoticons, because there is no such thing as ASCII emoji. Another confusing thing is that good 'ole shruggie (which in this form I&#

There is now a code interpreter[0] plugin for ChatGPT. It's not clear to me if it's available to folks who have been granted into the plugin alpha test or not, but it's running in a sandboxed execution environment somewhere -

As an ex-Twitter employee who started a new job at the start of the year, I can confirm that they did not respond to inquiries from the company that performed my background check. There was some back-and-forth with the recruiter at my new g

Interesting! I just assumed if the latency was consistently good enough that motion sickness wouldn't be a problem. I'd feel dumb buying a fancy VR rig only to not be able to play for fear of barfing all over my keyboard. I played

Any game where you're seated in some kind of cockpit is my idea of a perfect VR game. This way you can be comfortably sit at your desk with familiar controls, but still have immersive head tracking. For me, I'd love to see a WWI o

We're going to have to agree to disagree on that one. I love that macOS uses the command key for traditional CUA bindings, leaving control sequences open for me to continue using my Emacs style keybindings in all cocoa text widgets.

I really enjoyed playing Day of Defeat back in the day, but now days there is a great WW2 hardcore FPS out there called "Hell Let Loose" that is very immersive both extremely frustrating and rewarding at the same time. RTS like me

It's pretty cool. It's even cooler in applications with working[0] Cocoa text widgets, where you can do things like M-u and M-l for upcase/downcase word, transpose, and even an Emacs-like kill-ring[1]. [0]: Unfortunately in m

Windows and frames, killing and yanking, point and mark, slurping and barfing -- there's a lot of Emacs nomenclature that confuses people initially.

I don't know if either Nix or Guix will be stable and supported for the next twenty years, but they probably won't be ruined by corporate interests. I've personally quite enjoyed learning about functional package management,

I also enjoyed watching Anthony's videos, a lot of them are short and focused on a specific subject. I stumbled upon his channel when I was struggling with some challenging type hinting issues, and ended up binge watching hours of his

For some people, I assume it's effective, it's never been that way for me. I learned Python by writing Python code and reading the official Python docs and supplementing those docs with random blog posts and other Python sites. Fo

I grew up in Lacey Washington, and our local arcade "Star Base One" was a wonderful place, with lots of video games, pinball machines, foosball and pool tables. There was a magical moment when the arcade first opened, when the att

I'm glad you found something that works for you. A friend used a similar technique of mashing the right and left control keys with his palms, but unfortunately after a month or so he discovered this hurt his hands too. I'm of the

I don't think focusing on hitting Ctrl on one side or the other is the problem -- it's the awkward contortion your hand has to make to hit the key, pinky or otherwise. It's in the same bad position on either side on a standar

> In the coming years Treesitter might render LSP obsolete some day. While LSP can support semantic highlighting, it's often used for navigation, ala goto-definition. I think there is little overlap between Tree-sitter and LSP.

I'd like to be wrong about this, but after some investigation I've conclused that this is not the case. The Emacs client/server model assumes that the client and server are on the same host. It doesn't work over the netw

Ukulele is great! It’s also handy for disabling the default language independent Alt-letter sequences that generate umlauted characters. This way you can have Emacs style meta key cursor movement bindings in macOS text widgets. For me M-f a

Time-sharing was the prominent model of computing in the 1970s, it's really not that different from cloud computing. Seems like a stretch to say that folks at Amazon invented it. I do take your point though, Amazon was the first to mar

The `Emacs-wgrep` [1] package is what allows you to edit a standard Emacs grep buffer and have the specified changes applied to all the project's files. I just recently started using it, and it's extremely handy! [1]: https:&#x2F
