In these final five posts, I will talk about my attitude towards emacs. But before talking about today’s topic, I also need to stress that I am a mediocre person at best. I am not a successful researcher in my field. The content of this webpage is...
ESS is great. ESS’s integration with the R package devtools makes it a greater tool. By default, the integration isn’t activated. One needs to explicitly activate ess-r-package.
Today and tomorrow I will talk how I write R code. This is too big a topic. But before that, I want to talk a bit about hooks.
If I could select, I won’t select \(\LaTeX\) to write my papers. Usually, the decisions to write in \(\LaTeX\) were not made by me, but my collaborators. I maintain that \(\LaTeX\) should be an intermediate format. A target to be compiled to. But ...
Now I have my \(\mathrm{B{\scriptstyle{IB}} \! T\!_{\displaystyle E} \! X}\) file (day 13) and a markdown writing mode (day 14). Now I need to be scholar and cite all the papers by the big shots in my field. How do I actually cite references in a ...
Manuscript writing is really the thing that I (should) do to bring bread and butter on the table. An end. Programming is just a means to an end. I again promise you that I will talk about this topic (means vs end) in detail in a later post in this...
I wrote about bibliography management in the past. I will keep this post simple.
I can’t believe I am now in the mid-point. I thought I would tap out on maybe day 3.
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 philosop...
As I said yesterday, this is a break for me. I just want to quickly show you what theme I am using and also the technique to quickly to switch to another theme.
I admit it now: at least 50% of the things I write are formulaic.
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.
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), ...
After vi(m) vs emacs, the GUI vs terminal emacs debate is probably the second favorite past time of emacs Redditors.
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. Ha...
