There's a great blog at http://emacshorrors.com/ if you need to satisfy your roadkill-fascination with the layers of hacks we call Emacs. See https://hn.algolia.com/?query=emacshorrors&sort=byPopula

Github is the new Wikipedia for me. I recently ended up reading about https://github.com/maandree/ponypipe via the repo of some obscure window manager that I've already forgotten about etc.

For C++, I use https://github.com/abingham/emacs-ycmd which gives completion (uses company-mode) and code navigation. It can also do C, C#, js, go, python etc. Requires a little setup (you have to install the ycmd daem

HN has tiny links (firefox android at least), I always have to zoom in to get to comments or upvote anything. But otherwise fairly readable … I agree about Fastmail's mobile interface though. Almost anything else goes through Reader Vi

If you take snapshotted backups from ext4 etc filsystems (no send/recv), where users regularly reorganise photo folders, dedup is invaluable :-)

Yeah, that doesn't give high hopes for this book teaching best practices :/ If you don't want to depend on text-icu, there is support for more Unicode space characters in https://hackage.haskell.org/package&#x

I prefer lazy-loading both packages and files, but still having recently-worked-on files available for quick opening, since I sometimes do restart Emacs :) With the below form in my .emacs.d/init.el, I can restart Emacs and the first t

If I set Firefox to use system proxy, I suppose it won't be affected by WPAD unless the OS does? Does anyone know if it's possible to force unpatched libproxy on Linux to not use WPAD? Also, does network-manager use libproxy if I

For me, it's bash functions "st" (or "sq" to skip untracked); I also made them such that they DTRT in svn, hg, darcs as well. Probably my most used commands :-)

I prefer https://github.com/abingham/emacs-ycmd – the engine is also used by the corresponding vim plugin. Gives completion and "jump to". Rtags is a also nice alternative. Both packages work as daemons outsi

I don't think you're strawmanning in general, there have been a lot of symbolic AI people who scoffed at any mention of statistics or real-world data, but it's not the case that you have to eschew all empiricism just becaus
