Regarding 1. Emacs does have keyboard macros. A bit more involved than just hitting dot, but they do let you compose an arbitrary sequence of operations (including selection) that can be repeated or saved and applied later.

What do you mean with "macro code injection vulnerabilities"? Macros are expanded before the code is compiled; by the time someone is running the program there are no macros. Well, technically, someone could call `EVAL` in a produ

> Spacemacs takes so long to load that it's laughable. Emacs is typically started once, and then you open files in the same instance. With vanilla emacs you can use `emacs --daemon` to start it as a server, and then use `emacsclient

I just went to my local S-Market and looked around a bit. The big soft drink bottles were all 1.5L (as noinsight said). Milk is available in 1.5L cartons too, but no plastic bottles of any kind. Of course, I do live in a pretty remote corne

The 2L soft drinks are probably available, but I just never buy any of them. Milk, juice and yoghurt come in one liter packages.

by kiiski 10y ago
Why is that? I'm just curious, because I (finnish) can't associate two liters with anything of the top of my head. Everything is always one liter.

I think the idea is that the macro expands into an efficient template. Instead of having to always build the same constant strings for every request, you can expand into a bunch of WRITE-STRINGs, with the dynamic parts in between.

The basic idea is to have a uniform way of setting values to variables or calling a setter method. That's very helpful for writing macros that need to both read and set a value. For example, the `+=`-operator found in many languages is
