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 the word you are looking for? Then again I don't thi

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 merge commits that could have been avoided by a simpl

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. Surprisingly, you don't need that much customization to get

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 works so I'm really happy with it so fa

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 tutorial, in which case, press C-h t). Imho, be

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 amazing package manager.

That's an interesting perspective. Coming from a background of primarily developing backend services and using databases as a necessary tool, I usually approach it the other way and steer clear of stored procedures, triggers and the li

Fastmail; cheap, fast, reliable, and I can use my own domain. If you want end-to-end encryption, ProtonMail is an alternative.

I didn't know about calculation marks, thanks for sharing! I use org spreadsheets to keep track of my D&D party's character sheets, so this should definitely come in handy :)

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-spreadsheet-intro...

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!

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 critical to the application. It just does one thing well and

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 http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html#Clocking )

There’s a difference between truth and objective truth. Something can be true in the same way an arrow can be shot true to its target. Requiring everything to be objectively true is an absurdly high standard, imho.

As a sysadmin, you'd have to have first-hand experience on what can go wrong on the dev side. Also curious as to why Ubuntu isn't suitable for production.
