This is great! You should make a web version or add it to the wiki.

I started the Hacker's guide on the emacs wiki many years back. I think this doc was much needed.

I thought the same but they used chicks that just hatched with zero world experience.

So wait, the "phones are listening to us" urban myth turned out to be true? People getting ads about thing they recently talked about was a genuine concern?

I'm dreading the "I told ya so" from relatives.

Bellard wrote an emacs-type text editor, with full html rendering support, Unicode, X11 GUI, ... in the early 2000s!

How much overhead does the recording have?

I want to debug custom kernel filesystem issues on a 96 CPUs machine. My benchmark is building the Linux Kernel def config with make -j96. I have tried ftrace before but it's making everything 100x slower...

This whole problem wouldn't exist if we used distributed chat protocols which have been around for over 40 years (IRC). With the added benefit of having an open specification and multiple implementations. No walled gardens.

And if you think IRC is too old for the modern world take a look at matrix or xmpp.

How did we let discord take over is a mystery to me, or rather a tragedy.

Vertical tabs are coming back, finally... I still miss this tree tab extension I was using maybe 7 years ago.

Looks pretty similar to C# WinForms that ships with Visual Studio. https://youtu.be/n5WneLo6vOY?si=maped85dMX90KIn1

So much misinformation on the article and in the comments...

1) The academy doesn't make laws, they just make recommendations that anyone is free to follow or ignore.

2) there are laws regarding the amount of french-spoken media being broadcasted but nothing is said about which word is accepted or not you can use as much foreign slang as you want.

3) the academy does not make an official dictionary. There is no official dictionary. There are multiple private entities editing dictionaries. These companies have their own authority on what makes it in the dictionary.

3) the academy suggest new words when none exist in French to avoid using too many English ones. Again it's perfectly fine to ignore them if you don't like them. Some works (eg logiciel for software) some don't (eg courriel for email).

Other french speaking nations have their own academy and that's also fine. There are no academy wars lol.

I'm also surprised at the reactions regarding Quebecers. Most french people are delighted to hear that accent. It's very rare to hear it in France. We are mostly used to accents from north and sub-saharian African regions, or bordering neighbors. When I fist heard it I couldn't help but say I loved their accent. In a genuine, wholesome way... It is sad that it's often taken the wrong way.

Yes it seems to be missing the rendering code. game.h defines a generic list of imported function pointers which have no implementation in the repo.

No openGL/Vulkan/whatever. Why are the renderers missing?

I'd say its unlikely to happen as they are aiming for bug-for-bug compatibility.

xargs can consume multiple files at once. I'd say less forking/execv, better perf.

Donate to the FSF! :)

(I mean you don't have to obviously, but I think it's a good remainder for all of us that Emacs wouldn't exist without it. I've just bought a shirt myself!)
