For example the way fonts are implemented in doom is really clean and covers edge cases. I also borrowed the `set-repl` and some code to autoinsert some things. Doom's core modules have a lot of good ideas wrt making configuration easier.

Which is why I mentioned the convenience functions that come with doom. You're right of course but I wasn't trying to imply that doom couldn't be used as a framework.

> Maybe I'll never get the popularity of doom

Honestly its a double edged sword here. Doom has so many built in convenience functions like `set-font!` and `set-repl!` that an experienced elisp programmer would probably love it for building their own configuration.

On the other hand it bundles so much that an inexperienced emacs user might be more keen to do the bare minimum and rely on the packages bundled with doom to give them all the cool stuff without much effort. After all, why "reinvent the wheel"? I personally don't agree with that sentiment, I think learning how to build and maintain a personal emacs config makes a person a better programmer generally, and makes them prone to reading and writing documentation rather than copying solutions.

I started off with doom and even though I don't use it anymore I still find myself reading its source to figure out how Henrik approached a solution. Love it or hate it, Doom is great in both very good and bad ways for emacs users.

They aren't really consolidated so much as they're interlocked. Many of the largest companies in Japan own stock in all of the other largest companies in Japan. It diversifies their holdings and insulates them from market fluctuations while maintaining their independence.

I first noticed this in college that every novel about Africa had an acacia tree at sunset on the cover. And even if they don't have the tree often novels will have a sunset theme as if the jacket designer is trying to say "nothing to see here".

But maybe they're really trying to say their visual information about Africa comes entirely from the Lion King poster.

I'm guessing your comment is about people who died since WW2 but an estimated 750k died in the civil war.

Assuming a person already has use-package or projectile installed is part of a larger problem tbh.

Could you not inhibit the startup screen? I get wanting to have a "clean" setup but if anyone is using this there is a good chance they don't know emacs all that well already and links to the tutorial are good for them.

Sounds like he just wants to open a program, not build his life around it.

The answer is yes but of course none were as famous or went as far as Powell.

I was surprised to read his name. Didn't know he did anything besides push his weird philosophies.

I would guess so but I clearly give the average American more credit than others in this thread.

I feel like there's enough Lafayette cities and counties in the US to counter the notion that he isn't well known.

Well Neptune's Brood had a vaguely blockchain based economy. That was neat.

This was not a problem in Solaris, Annihilation, or Story of Your Life.

Some stories very much are about aliens who use tech or have civilizations that are very very alien to us.

And here I would argue that, since the documentation is included with Emacs and can be pulled up in the editor, this is still a point towards its inherent discoverability.

Again when you load emacs there's a link to the manual on its splash screen and as a guided tour. A lot of people rush to turn off this screen or suppress the menues on startup (which I get, the menu bar is pretty ugly) but they do have useful functionality for someone who doesn't know Emacs.

This is literally what `M-x` does. You want to do the same for functions? `C-h f`. Variables? `C-h v`. Keybindings for the current mode? `C-h ?`.

If I'm not mistaken when you install vanilla Emacs the screen even includes a tutorial and guided tour that both tell you these commands.

What’s wrong with the julia build system in guix?

Nix exists as a service for guix. All my system declarations include the nix service. But as far as interop goes I’m not really sure of the value. I think it just sounds neat but hasn’t really been thought through in terms of exactly what that would look like.

Icecat tracks The latest ESR and is up to date.

If you have the guix package manager you also have `guix deploy`

When is the website coming back up

Are you sure this is a millennial/gen z problem and not just a techie/non techie one?

Because this a really broad extrapolation.

Are you using discord in the browser? Does the desktop app work on the reform?

How the fuck do you have the energy to gatekeep DIY?

Anecdotal. I write client software for bioinformatics workflows. Usually web apps or clis. Right now with my mock db, Emacs, browser, and tooling I’m using ~5G of ram. At most I’ll use ~8GB by the end of the day.

I also shut down at the end of the day and make judicious use of browser history and bookmarks. If I were compiling binaries regularly I guess I could see the use in having more ram but as far as I’m concerned 8 is enough and so far people find what I put out perform at.

What kind of trouble? I use it on all of my systems and my only complaint is I have to scrub and balance regularly.

and with this lightweightness the ability to customize the client more, maybe even create popouts to monitor multiple chats simultaneously or do one server per window.
