Is it though? What if I have my TERM set to 'dumb' because I'm running your CLI command inside a very limited console embedded inside a text editor or other tool? At the very least you should `test -t` in your script to ensur

Org mode does a lot of different things, but one use case I find interesting is to be able to mix prose and program output in a technical document in a way that keeps things consistent when things change. I made a video[0] a year or so ago

If you have xterm-mouse-mode set it's pretty easy to size windows with your mouse. I just create the splits with the usual emacs window commands and then move things around with my mouse until I have things just right.

This is my problem. In order to get a decent sound in my untreated office (reverberant bare walls, hardwood floor, etc) I need to have my dynamic mic with a low gain setting and I have to be right up on it, which makes me look like I'm

I made a video[0] showing off the power of org-babel, which is the part of org that lets you embed dynamic code blocks in your document. In the video I write a little essay[1] on how git stores data that has a lot of dynamic content that is

Universally. Outside of Emacs, I have those "insanely bad" bindings in GUI text widgets, my shell prompt, when choosing/searching in in fzf, navigating scrollback in tmux, and inside REPLs of all flavors. Basically anywhere t

This is possible, but it's a bit of a pain. One problem is that the popular themes cater to GUI Emacs users where you have 24-bit color depth. On the terminal this gets approximated to one of the available 256 colors, and this approxim

I think the thing about Vi and Vim that has the most value in 2020 is not the software itself, but rather the keyboard-centric composable modal editing system that they popularized. Some of the growth that Emacs has enjoyed over the past se

That's right, /r/unixporn influenced me quite a lot. I read a lot of folks' dotfiles that were posted there and was inspired by the screenshots. Because I had built a lot of software with LFS, I wasn't at all afraid

Thanks Dang! It's interesting that in 2016 the top comment was about how out-of-date the documentation was, which made it very challenging for the novice to approach. When I did it in 2019, my experience was very different -- I marvele

I had a lot of fun doing this. You really get a feel for the evolution of build systems -- from older software that uses automake/make to newer programs that use meson/ninja/cmake etc. It was also cool to learn how to bootstr

Indeed. Back when 300 and 1200 bps connections were a thing, Ctrl-O (flush) was a vital special character. You can actually see "flush = ^O" if you run "stty -a" on Linux. However it's not part of Posix, and AFAIK h

I appreciated the snarky language, but a few things made me wish I hadn't read this. Leaving aside the humble brag about their engagement on LinkedIn, I am not a fan of marketing in general, product or otherwise. Furthermore the use of

As someone who is older, and spent much of their 20s working on their career, I regret that I hadn't spent more time on my personal interests when I was young. If I had it all to do over again, I would spend less of those years trying

There is no indication that app4soft is Sacha Chua, who is considered by many to be a pillar of the Emacs community. I would not hesitate to trust her with my email address.

I also use org-babel to do the same thing at work, most recently with convoluted AWS CLI commands with lots of JMESPath query syntax that I can never remember. I use it for personal documentation, but it can also can make for very nice look

If you want to learn to sing well, you're in for a lot of work. It means practice, having a teacher, unlearning potentially years of bad habits, and being disciplined. I like to write and record songs with a friend as a fun hobby, and

While it's nice that macOS has this out-of-the-box, you can make all the key-bindings to their macOS equivelants using Karabiner-Elements. If it did go away, we'd be fine.

I think this is really cool, but calling it a "systemd replacement" feels like click bait to me. Systemd manages a huge number of things, and this doesn't even reap zombies, which all good init programs do. It doesn't su

Emacs has recently been seeing a lot of growth from vim users who are migrating to emacs "distros" (like spacemacs and doom) that are pre-configured with emacs' vim-emulation. I found this video[0] a pretty interesting perspe
