As the first-born son of a psychiatrist, I feel inclined to add the data point that I do not recognize this in myself. I have a fairly neurotic personality, though, maybe that's th…

Well said. It's the reason I hate Microsoft's Team Explorer built into Visual Studio. Almost everyone on my team uses it, and as a result, nobody understands git. The number of mer…

Are you using magit on Windows? I am experiencing the same performance issues for large repos and am really hoping to find a way to fix this.

I made the jump from vim to emacs without relying on evil or spacemacs, working my way through the built-in tutorial (C-h t) and doing my own customization from the bottom up. Surp…

Adding ".rss" to a subreddit's URL turns it into an RSS feed. I use this to avoid the homepage and ranking by hot/popular, and consume reddit like a normal news feed.

I've been using a combination of rclone and borg backup to backup my Linux system to an S3 bucket on a daily cron schedule. I'm paying a little under $1/mo for storage, and it just…

I'd encourage you to try the built-in tutorials on the subject, starting with "An Introduction to Programming in Emacs Lisp" (unless you still have to complete the general emacs tu…

Gentoo with KDE Plasma. I was intrigued by the idea of a source-based distro and installed it out of curiosity. KDE turns out to be a great desktop and the distro ships with an ama…

Especially since org-mode has a built-in spreadsheet system that supports formulas written in emacs calc or even arbitrary elisp: https://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-spreads…

Hey, I just wanted to say that I really love your gensim library. I've used it for my Master's thesis a couple of years back and it's been a tremendous help. Thanks so much!

I have been without Facebook for about a year now, and the one thing that I really miss are events. On the one side, there are a lot of events that go over my head simply because t…

Coincidentally, today at work I wrote a piece of code that reminded me of this article (specifically the part about Good Code). It's not revolutionary in its function or even criti…

org-mode is extremely versatile and can be used to organize any kind of data. It has time-tracking support built-in, which I use to track my time at work (methodology inspired by h…
