Did not know that until you mentioned! Sometimes even legends post here on HN!

Man PG has jumped the shark completely. What the hell is that tweet - a deal is a deal, how can he implicitly say it should be ok for it not to be honoured (and with his twitter following, saying something publicly has an impact, however small)

Very high uptime overall. Credits to PG and his lisp/arc inspired codebase! And to dang (who I assume does a bit of coding on it from time to time from previous comments I have read..sorry if I read wrong)

I prefer dired mode, it’s pretty easy to get a handle of https://ashok-khanna.medium.com/introduction-to-dired-mode-9...

Have you seen the quality of most open source software? It’s a joke. Most of it is about people pushing their own agendas and self promoting

All these niche functional programming languages are an exercise in pseudo intellectualism

Give me an object oriented language any day. The world is made of state and processes, (modern niche) functional programming goes too far to derecognise the value of state in our mental models

The good thing about functional programming is stressing to avoid side effects in most of the code and keep it localised in certain places…

Medium sucks balls. I know someone who was making $2-$5 per month and writing some high quality content, who got kicked out of the partner program for not having 100 followers (as she was more interested in the content then getting followers, but still she got a very healthy following online - just they didn’t click the “follower” button), now she’s getting zero and hasn’t blogged in ages as a result

ProseMirror has some of the worst developer experience possible. I wasted so much time figuring out it’s convoluted API and abandoned it soon after.

It does apparently have the best live editing / collaboration features of all text editors out there.

If you are using someone else’s work for free, then what’s there to complain?

That’s a long list!

Brings back memories of my childhood (always wanted one in the late 90s)…time to get one!

There are a lot of (physical) things that have faded away since smart phones became ubiquitous, I hope they make a come back and we move to a slower pace again

Although I’d argue that it isn’t necessary for all those functions to be part of the buffer object themselves - they could receive the relevant details vi dynamic extent and not burden the user with an API that requires passing in an Editor State object (which is the key benefit of Emacs - I just don’t see how this is related to the naming of buffers).

I think of it more as dynamic extent but don’t want to be splitting hairs.

Not that I don’t love how Emacs does it, but I just think it’s not that closely correlated to the notion of what is a buffer as the header of the article implied

A pretty bad article to be honest, just creating confusion.

Emacs buffers are not the reason why functions like forward-paragraph exists.

That’s just normal abstraction (in programming).
