Hongchao Liu thinks that emacs is the “2D command-line interface”. Sure enough, I could do many things with the 2D command-line interface. However, there are still many things I prefer to use the 1D command-line interface, i.e. the Linux shell. Hate to admit…

After vi(m) vs emacs, the GUI vs terminal emacs debate is probably the second favorite past time of emacs Redditors.

Yesterday, I talked about displaying programming ligatures. A programming ligature, although in one single glyph as being displayed, is actually a sequence of characters. For example, |> are two characters | (the pipe) and > (greater than), although it looks…

Yesterday, I talked about mode and keymap/modemap. And it actually opens up a pandora box: How do I know all these information? In order to customize emacs, you need to find all the relevant information.

I admit it now: at least 50% of the things I write are formulaic.

I have talked about some basics about emacs in the last 10 days. From now on, I will be focus more on the specific usage of emacs. On around day 19, I will start to talk about my attitude towards emacs 1. I am not prot the philosopher and emacs user extraordinaire.…

From time to time it’s useful to know who are main authors of some piece of a project. Admittedly most of the time I want to check who are the top contributors to some Git repository I’d use a web interface for this (e.g. GitHub). Probably because I never…

I can’t believe I am now in the mid-point. I though I would tap out on maybe day 3.

Today, I'm going to be taking a quick first look at the recently released Deepin 20.8. This is a Debian-based distro that features its own desktop environment and suite of custom applications. And it's absolutely gorgeous!
