Yeah, I noticed that too. Instead of changing my user-agent string I switched to DuckDuckGo.

Probably because you mentioned reproductive strategies.

Why can't you make a GPL plugin for whatever editor you use?

It means that if someone says something controversial and you get upset, it's your problem, not theirs. Basically, it will be the type of discussion that adults have always been having together.

I work with adults. They are fine. Don't worry.

I don't believe corporations should always have the same rights as individuals, no. I certainly don't think they should have more rights.

Banks are not like a giant piggy bank with your savings in it. They create money when they create loans. They're not protecting "your money" with things like this, they are protecting their profits.

By "someone else's" you surely mean "the bank's money". I don't think individuals are going to benefit from this, just a few large players around the world.

I read this thinking it might be interesting because I'm organising a book club at work. But it's more "how to make a safe space". No. My book club will not be a safe space, it is open to everyone who reads the book.

In terms of undoing, I use git and I could undo it with just a few keystrokes. As for the refactoring, yeah, you're right, that stuff would be difficult. I'll keep it in mind if I ever do need to do that stuff. It hasn't happ

I don't think a website can decide to use public key pinning can it? But the client/browser can. Google won't let you route their traffic through a proxy (chrome does public key pinning for Google).

Yes, I think it's absolutely about securing profits. I've been downvoted to oblivion before when speaking out against it on HN before, though, so it may already be too late to stop this.

Good for you, man. I hope the money continues to bring you happiness.

Are you just playing ignorant for fun? You must know that there are people out there hacking on the most advanced software projects we have such as the linux kernel or C compilers etc. and they don't all use IDEs.

What planet are you people living on? It's like you just whack the word "modern" on the front, stick your hands up and say "haha, you couldn't understand, grandad". Programmers have been doing these things sinc

Let me just remind you of what the GP post said: > Beyond a certain level of codebase complexity, there is simply no way to do the job with a text editor An absurd claim. How can you interpret my post as a "get off my lawn" typ

Do you use elpy for python? It's pretty good.

In all my years of using emacs I have not once been called out on formatting. In my last job the bastion of PEP-8 was a vim user. If you're talking about actual low level text editors like nano or notepad.exe, then sure, but vim and em

If I can't do a "modern development task" with emacs or vim and a smattering of standard Unix tools, then I question the sanity of said task. At the end of the day we're editing text. Plain text has stood the test of tim

I see a correlation, but I am an emacs user. One thing that rings true is how people use git. I find that the people who use IDEs to do it just want to do it the IDE way, like always merging with --no-ff, and not actually thinking about w

Yeah, I've done that with pandoc too, but I use org-mode. It's much more pleasurable to write than markdown. I don't use a great deal of org-mode features when writing, I suppose, but just being able to fold up sections and k

by black-tea 7y ago
Yep. I'd never seen it before, but you can find other people talking about it online.

by black-tea 7y ago
Writing markdown with emacs is a huge step up. Now you get to take another big step up when you use org-mode instead of markdown. I'm actually pretty envious.

by black-tea 7y ago
I am so glad that I took the time to learn emacs during my uni days more than ten years ago. I would see everyone else using absolutely awful IDEs that they never actually understood while I was learning how everything really worked and set

Really? You could easily find comments on here talking about how Steve Jobs wasn't really the genius at Apple, but rather it was Steve Wozniak. We do care who really did it. Always.

Fair enough. 20k lines is a lot.
