> I think it helps to think of Emacs as just another platform - and a nice stable one. You may or may not use, or know about, all the "applications" available for it. New stuff comes along that you haven't heard about; you

That also works well in Emacs: C-M-% runs the command query-replace-regexp (found in global-map), which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in ‘replace.el’. It is bound to C-M-%, <menu-bar> <edit> <replace

Use "checkinstall" instead of "make install". It builds and installs packages automatically.

HN mods should investigate the systematic downvoting of pro-Brave comments. It happens on every discussion of browsers.

Respectfully, with full benefit of hindsight, do you think it would have been better if you had stayed at Mozilla, forcing them to either fire you (which would have been illegal) or learn to deal with dissent? I ask not to criticize but to

Reading this made me smile. TXR is obviously that for you, and I wish all software were developed with such care.

A deeply nested comment like that would not be so flagged by multiple users in a couple of minutes, especially on an article that garnered a total of 54 points and 70 comments. Not enough eyeballs to do that. You call it a personal attack-

I'm about 70% down the page, and this is the best comment I've read so far. I think you should write a book, and/or a blog. I'd read it, anyway. :)

Nice, instaflag rather than have the courage to reply. Might makes right, right? The bubble tends to have that effect on people.

It's not elitist to listen to them. It is elitist to force others to do so.

Indeed, and actual Bash scripting (as opposed to plain POSIX sh) is much more pleasant. Used properly, arrays make it easy to build commands with arguments and finally run them, e.g. #!/bin/bash command_args=(

Indeed. I's hard to imagine why an entrepreneur would risk investing in land and building a business when a few years later the government might artificially put him out of business with arbitrary restrictions.

Isn't it elitist to presume that you know how children should be raised better than their parents do?

It's hard for me to make sense of what you're saying. 1. You don't seem to think the Pale Moon has value, nor that it should be used. 2. You say you don't read their release notes--which makes sense if you don't t

You've replied to me four times without addressing my original arguments, which are fundamental to the issue, regardless of the status quo. Conversation is attained when both parties listen.

As I said to 'papito, I feel like you didn't read my comment, because I addressed that issue, and I didn't say what you seem to think I did. This is why I hardly bother having such discussions online anymore. No matter how r

If I understand you correctly, you would seem to advocate for a positive right of a citizen to know how another citizen has freely spent his own money. And not only citizens, but the government would know as well, for "full and absolut

That's a leading question. Instead, why don't you answer this question: Why did the majority say it decided the way it did? Show that you understand both sides of the issue and aren't simply another guy on the Internet ragi
