Q. Would you mind sharing your Emacs configuration files?

Richard Stallman: Configuration files are personal and will not be shared.

This cracked me up! xD

Apart from a user, I am also a contributor to the Zulip project, for the last ~7 months.

The community is very helpful and for getting started with open source development, I can't recommend a better place. You get really high quality code reviews, get to participate in meaningful discussions on features and the development goals of the project, and developers constantly share lots of knowledge in streams like #learning about software development, tech, git, best practices and so on.

Also, the documentation is very detailed and the codebase is very high quality. It's really easy to get started.

You can find the github org here: https://github.com/zulip

Solving problems during contests is a battle against time. You cant waste time compiling and checking if your solution is correct, and incorrect solutions have penalties.

This extension solves that problem.

As a resident of India, from personal experience, I can say that while it is true that the print jobs of the Indian editions may be inferior to those of the US editions, the Indian edition books do not miss prefaces/chapters/appendices or solutions.

The only difference is that usually, they have shuffled chapters/ end of chapter problems( but with proper index ) and a black and white/ two colour print job instead of a full colour print.

I would much rather prefer to pay ₹300(~5USD) for a black and white Indian Edition than $900+ for a coloured US edition.
