Sure. My reference to BIBO borrows the idea from control theory that if you put bounds on your input, your output will likewise be bounded given your system is BIBO-stable. Applyin…

Wasn't aware of org-sync until now. That said for my use case I still would not use it as I didn't want to setup another GH authentication token for another client. YMMV.

Thanks for sharing this! You are a legend!

Seeing how much functionality I could get from just 400 LoC was one of the motivations for writing this post.

Oh dang, thanks for catching that. Will amend.

Perhaps related, I'm maintaining a "cheatsheet" to let Python programmers see what an Elisp equivalent to typical Python functions/methods are. https://kickingvegas.github.io/elisp…

Announcing Casual Ediff, with enhancements to support viewing changes to a version-controlled file and to resolve merge conflicts from Emacs.
