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.

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...
emacs has a bad reputation for being “slow”. It is not that difficult to find derogatory expansions of the 5 characters e, m, a, c, and s. My favorite is “Eight Megabytes And Constantly Swapping”. It talks about how memory hungry emacs was. In the...
On day 1, I talked about use-package. For using use-package, one needs to relaunch emacs to “refresh” the configuration, install emacs packages and stuffs. But how do I relaunch emacs?
emacs has a bad reputation for being “difficult to use”. A piece of software can’t be difficult to use for the sake of being difficult to use. Of course, many people remember emacs for forcing them to memorize a lot of key combinations (C-x C-f, C...
While the programmers (surrounding me) are crazy about Advent of Code, I wanted to try something else. I really like the “Advent of X” format, but I don’t want to solve some artificial puzzles created by a game master. I have enough puzzles to sol...
This story has a beginning: I want to talk about the game Just One, a board game I recently have played a lot on an online platform.
