I wrote similar code in emacs for harmonia-mode in the past. Let me find and share the source code. We don't need font-lock. We can just borrow the styles it uses. *Update:* I found the code. Instead of using font-lock, we simply draw

I'd be happy to help as well! I could probably even get the basic framework started. I'm toomim@gmail.com.

The best way forward is similar to how you describe. Instead of making one mode per language -- just make a generic "tree-sitter" mode, and attach that mode to all the filetypes you want it load via regexp patterns in `auto-mode-

That should be easy to build. In 2002 I built harmonia-mode, which did that for the harmonia research project that inspired tree-sitter. It did that.

You aren't clear with what I supposedly "misunderstood." The entire grant was $650k. 55%, or $357k were used for indirect costs. I don't know how you multiplied 650 * .55 and got 230, or why you're thinking about

You're misunderstanding. I wasn't the PI, and never said I was. My PhD advisor was the PI. I wrote the grant as a graduate student, and did the research. It was an NSF grant, with a title on something about Social Computing System

When I was a PhD student in Computer Science, I wanted to fund my research without depending on other people. So I wrote, and won, a grant for $650,000. The University of Washington took 55% off the top in "indirect costs." Then

The problem is you trying to "interpret" what he wrote. Let's stick to what he actually said: https://web.cs.ucdavis.edu/~koehl/Teaching/ECS188/PDF_files/... His writing is very clear. H

This is closer to correct. Damore said that women tend to choose to work with people rather than things. He said that, therefore, a way to increase women in the workforce is to enhance the peopleness of it, by incorporating more pair pro

The ultimate exploit is to create fake "likes". Once any system of likes becomes successful, it gets used for (a) filtering news feeds, and (b) establishing consensus & social truth. This is the biggest exploit there is. A c

The SCCS "weave" data structure is indeed poorly-understood; and what almost nobody knows is that it's equivalent to a text CRDT! https://braid.org/meeting-60/sccs-is-a-time-collapse

I'm building a liquid democracy. The cool thing is that we won't bother applying it to "democracy" first — the killer app will actually be to computer your news feed, in a way that you control through your social network

Go find a doctor who will prescribe it off-label. I was in a similar situation to you. The doctor said it wasn't indicated for me, but I said I wanted it anyway, and the doctor said ok, and it cleared up my existing HPV infections aft

I don't think it's been tested in studies, but I can offer that I had hand warts for 7 years until I got the HPV vaccine, and the hand warts suddenly disappeared after dose 2. HPV functions by cloaking itself from your immune syst

Yeah, it sucks. It was borrowed from XPath. And it's not appropriate for JSON. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XPath

JSON Patch doesn't let you represent insertions or deletions to strings. You can only replace them. This makes it useless for collaborative text editing. Thus, we can't use it in Braid-HTTP: https://datatracker.ietf.org

It stores the deleted ranges , but not the chars of text that compose those ranges. So from a privacy perspective, you see the metadata of edit history (the DAG of character positions edited), but are blind to the text.
