This week on "Code Dive" we'll be taking a deeper look at Emacs' built-in project.el to see what interesting features or Emacs Lisp tricks we can discover. If we have time, we'll try hacking on some customizations using the hooks that this package provides!…

Ruby is famous (infamous?) for giving us many ways to do the same thing. One aspect of this is that quite a few methods in core classes have aliases, especially in the Enumerable module. E.g.: collect -> map inject -> reduce detect -> find select -> find_all…

Recently I wrote that it was already possible to run RuboCop with Ruby’s new Prism parser, but that required a bit of manual work. I also outlined some plans to add built-in Prism support in RuboCop. 1 Today I’m happy to report that last week we’ve released…

In today’s highly connected world it’s often useful to keep track of time in several time zones. I work in a company with employees all over the world, so I probably keep track of more time zones than most people. So, what are the best ways to do this? I…

The value of Emacs, so I maintain lies on these three points:

1. A uniform, text-based interface that can provide consistent interaction that accumulates in power over time
2. A transparent and malable substructure that not only makes modifications possible…

I just noticed that @monnier@oldbytes.space implemented some ranking for GNU and NonGNU ELPA:

- https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/
- https://elpa.nongnu.org/nongnu/

The percentile in the "rank" column is based on information extracted from the httpd logs, so…

I hope that this information could be propagated in a future revision of the "archive-contents" protocol, see. https://yhetil.org/emacs-devel/87tty24ap2.fsf@bernoul.li/
