098799··on My Emacs Lisp book is finished
Thanks for the submission. I was hoping it would be finished and didn't want to purchase an incomplete book, so it's helpful.
098799··on India's artisanal fountain pens are making their mark
Surprisingly accurate. There are dozens of custom fountain pen makers online now, but the wait times only increase from what they used to be a few years ago.
098799··on I3: Improved Tiling Window Manager
Changing the xkb mapping is not a happy path? It's perfectly portable to any system running X11, you can define your own shortcuts to quickly switch maps with setxkbmap... It's a backbone of my workflow with a 60% keyboard.

> Pens aren't useful?

Yes, this is my point.

> As opposed to every other document not written using FPs?

As opposed to documents not written on paper. Please, read carefully.

Surprising to see this on HN. Yes, fountain pens are a rabbit hole. No, they are not really useful - it's hard to edit or search through what you wrote on paper - but the feeling while writing is pretty amazing.
098799··on Best Python IDEs and Code Editors
Or all. And you don't need lsp for that, Jedi works just fine.
098799··on My Emacs Productivity Tricks/Hacks
Somehow my colleagues who use VS Code or JetBrains IDEs don't manage to learn about those features while all of my vim-using colleagues somehow do. (Haven't worked with anyone using Emacs yet)

I'd always write a basic macro by hand in such a situation: F3, ", END, ", comma, DEL, space, right arrow, F4 however many times I need.

Helm-projectile rant is well deserved. I'm often ashamed looking at my colleagues trying to find some file with a mouse in their big fat IDEs.
098799··on Autocomplete as an Interface (2015)
One of the most jarring problems with ipython is scoping of list comprehensions. I loose access to certain objects while writing more elaborate list comps all the time. I'd be really happy if that got fixed at some point...
098799··on Autocomplete as an Interface (2015)
Emacs + company + posframe to the rescue.
098799··on Convert Curl Syntax to Python Requests
This tool is amazing. I use it daily. Please don't let it disappear.
098799··on The effect of meditation on brain structure (2012)
It's definitely using buddhist framework, but he's an empiricist to the bone. Mandatory SSC review: https://slatestarcodex.com/2017/09/18/book-review-mastering-...
