They removed the electric bikes only because of a safety issue. The non-electric bikes are still available. I haven't read anything about a relation to this event with a dockless bikeshare expansion.

(I have used Wanderlust on emacs for about 15 years now.)

I think using maildir directly may be hard to squeeze good performance out of with emacs. I'd suggest trying the alternatives: for eample, IMAP with ~30k messages should work decently in Wanderlust (and I would assume gnus), though initial load is slow (way less than hours, though). Using mu (maildir utils) via search in wanderlust to load 30k messages take about 1 minute, but if you are using mu you should be searching, not loading an entire mailbox. So there are probably some options out there, but I'd avoid loading 40k messages from a maildir directly.

Could be modified to show, e.g. dired commands as well.

To be clear, this is not the state government of California, but a division of the University of California (the California Digital Library) working with the Internet Archive and Code for Science & Society.

You can also move from Assets:Checking to Expenses:Cash, and then from Expenses:Cash to Expenses:Haircuts. This allows you to track the larger cash expenses if you like, while letting the small purchases accrue in Expenses:Cash.

Great answers. I'd just like to add https://github.com/egh/ledger-autosync as an additional solution for bank statement import.

> I don't. After a while I found it's not worth the effort. I rarely make financial decisions based on how much I spent on beers and sandwiches, so most of these little things are just subsumed in Expenses:Cash.

Agree completely - when keeping track of expenses, it is only worth tracking the numbers that matter to you. If it won't effect your decisions, don't bother tracking.

It's not clear exactly how this was generated, but emacs ships with a full-featured XML editor as the default XML mode (https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/NxmlMode) that includes syntax and schema validation, which probably impact the XML benchmarks.

If your bank supports OFX/QFX download, you can still use ledger-autosync. You can manually download as many transactions as you like, and it will only import the new ones.

org-mode without the huge collection of emacs lisp code to generate agendas, export to HTML, LaTeX, etc., navigate rapidly, search, etc. isn't really of much use.

No.

If I address a mixed gender group, and I ask that "all the guys" raise their hand, everybody will know that I mean men only.

No water from the federal government. Not no water.

where do you think capital income comes from? if capital income is increasingly concentrated, do you think those people who are getting more of it are just really good investors?

Isn't ankimobile anki for iphone? I use ankidroid, which seems to be the official anki for android. Ankiapp is mentioned nowehere on the anki page.

Why is this named AnkiApp? I won't use software that creates deliberate confusion by using the same name as another application with the same purpose.

The Berkeley public library subscribes to this and allows remote streaming. Maybe your local public library does too.

So - what you are saying is that you support radical, armed struggle in support of marriage equality? Just as Mandela supported radical, armed struggle against apartheid?

Yes - they just didn't serve blacks.

What mistake do I think you are making? You said: "It actually refers to the government's legal authority to mandate that privately owned businesses provide separate nut equal facilities for blacks". No law ever forced private businesses to serve blacks in the south until the civil rights act. They may have been forced to racially segregate, but no law every forced white southern business owners to serve blacks.

Yes, among other things. Just read the article. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Crow_laws

Are you implying there were a bunch of southern business owners who wanted to provide integrated service, but were unable to because of Jim Crow? That's what it sounds like, and it's so wrong it's astounding.

Your understanding of civil rights and Jim Crow is so wrong it's just astounding. I suggest you start with reading the wikipedia article on Brown v. Board of Education and Jim Crow laws.

The really nice thing about ReST is that it has provided generic syntax for extensions, one for inline text: :foo:`hello world` and for blocks:

.. extension:: hello world

In markdown, on the other hand, you have multiple, incompatible versions which have entirely different syntax because there is no generic extension mechanism.

ReST feels more well thought-out, generally.

That said, I've pretty much given up advocating it, because markdown seems to have won and has so much more tool support.

Yup. If google can clear you promotions tab out of stuff you don't care about, it makes the ads they place there more valuable.

Many people, it seems, haven't noticed that google is now placing ads in your "promotions" tab that look just like email: http://www.thewire.com/technology/2013/07/theres-easy-way-es...

These language features are not correlated with style problems. There is no evidence that they are. These are folk remedies for bad writing.

Don't use this. Just don't.

Yes, it works great. If you prefer hg you can push your code to github and get pull requests, etc. from people who only know git.

I like the automatic time tracking, but why is this a web service? I'd prefer not to send data to a remote service unless necessary, and I can see absolutely no reason why this should be a remote service.

I've had mine for a couple years. The trackpoint is not as good as the one on my lenovo, but it works and saves me from reaching for the trackball 95% of the time.

unicomp sell the endurapro, basically a model m with a trackpoint.

yes, k2pdfopt does a great job of making PDFs readable on Kindles, etc.

If you want to misunderstand licensing, this article is here to help.

To pick out just one of the many errors of fact and interpretation: linux has historically been GPL v2 only; this decision was not made after the release of GPL v3.

It's great that his "generation sees copyrights [as] a concept that should be much more restricted and have a smaller lifetime": I'm glad that he's so surrounded by the FOSS that makes this possible. But this possibility came about because of the work of free software advocates and developers. Reveling in your ignorance and disinterest really isn't going helping.

And if you think that it's a problem that Apple and the FSF (among others!) are clashing on issues like restricted bootloaders, tivoization, etc. -- well, I don't really know what to say. There's a reason that Apple and advocates like the FSF are on different sides here. I know which side I'm on: do you?
