Do you plan to provide PDF ?
exactly, thank you
Thank you for this quite perfect blog post (short, interesting, well written). One subject I would be interested in is what are all the parameters a kernel accepts

Can anyone trust the next "non-profit" startup ? So easy to attract appeal with a lie and turn around as soon as you are in a dominant position.
Re:Emacs 29.1 Released on Sunday July 30, 2023 @04:25AM (#36929072)
Compatibility with tree-sitter is a huge one
Re:Use GNU Emacs on Friday March 03, 2023 @12:24PM (#35012525)
I’ve started to use emacs in my computer sciences school 30 years ago (EPITA in Paris). The Lab was surrounded by Mips, Sun, Alpha, … great time.

The only weakness of Emacs (according to me) was the lack of a good major mode (module) to edit web template : imagine editing a php block inside a javascript part embedded inside html.

After testing many modes, I started to develop web-mode (http://web-mode.org) that is now compatible with about thirty template engines. What a wondeful trip it was to discover the power of Lisp and what a pleasure it is everyday to know exactly what happens when I hit a key while editing an html file.

I am the only Emacs user in my company (kernix.com) but nothing would make me switch. I can not imagine using an editor that would not open in less than a second (or that would eat hundreds of Mo of RAM)

I Hope Emacs will see a usage surge with the inclusion of tree sitter… editing in emacs will be even faster and more robust. Not sure tree sitter is suitted for multi languages files … but for this you have web-mode ;)

Re:Quick Look at Rosetta on Linux on Wednesday June 08, 2022 @03:30AM (#31664378)
Is there a good article explaining what is shared between ARM processors (ie. M1 / Graviton), what makes them "compatible" ? and how they can add specific features still keeping them compatible ?
Re:Mozilla Hubs on Tuesday March 01, 2022 @12:07PM (#30516698)
Mozilla is the new Netscape. Their only focus should be to build the best browser in the world (like firefox at the origin, fast, simple, small, multiplatform). They have wasted so much money with ridiculous projects. Even sadder, they have weaken the only promising one : rust.
It is a real opportunity missed for google. Slack/Teams is the current heart of company activities all over the world and Google only provides tens of similar chat tools. They should really communicate about this.

I dream of the biography of reference about John von Neumann
I've always received (very) high quality responses from Stripe support in the next 12h. It's a great company. Concerning Braintree, the fact that they do not provide REST like API and only SDK is a no go.

Emacs users, I've just added compatibility to web-mode.el (see http://web-mode.org) Screenshot: http://imgur.com/rlb2VWB

Anyone could mention some benefits of Gremlin over Cypher ?
Re:Go 1.4 is released on Thursday December 11, 2014 @04:00AM (#8733860)
Mobile development will soon be exciting with the fight Go vs Swift
Can you post an issue on GitHub with a big template example (on gist.github.com). I'll be happy to add scala compatibility
thanks for all those kind words. If you need compatibility with any new template engine, do not hesitate to submit a specific issue on github.
