kindahero··on Org-mode 9.4 is out. Can you help?
Oh I know the pain, I did the same back in 2015. That was my first scientific paper ever. Then "never again" said to myself. Now I use pure latex. org-mode is only good for quick exports should not think it as an alternative to latex.

Actually, auto-complete was written by Matsuyama (original author this article), though tkf has contributed to the project.

> My emacs at times can't keep up with my typing. But I love what it does for me.

Try to set debugger on (M-x toggle-debug-on-quit) and when emacs stops responding press C-g to get to know what was emacs doing.

kindahero··on SourceTree for Windows beta
Magit is gem of all.. I think it comes on top a mile to any other gui for git I used so far.
kindahero··on GNU sed 4.2.2 released, maintainer resigns
> but I feel like it need to be forked and gutted.

There is Xemacs FYI..

> Including more shit each release is not justifiable.

Maintainers have indeed plans to split the packages out of the core, as the package manager is already up and running..

kindahero··on Textadept: fast, minimalist, and Lua-extensible cross-platform text editor
> Vim is as extensible as Emacs. I won't debate how elisp is better or worse than Vimscript, because that doesn't affect extensibility.

If we agree with "extensibility depends on how much/many internals exposed to its extensible language", I would say Emacs is more extensible than Vim in comparison to their current status.

Agian It doesn't mean Emacs is better or worse than Vim. I think we are heading to endless discussion. I will stop here.

without knowing Emacs how could you claim that.

Actually Emacs comes with smtp written in elisp[1] and IMHO Emacs is more customizable than Vim. But I won't say Emacs is better than Vim.

Peace..

No.. they have "contact" page and they are very quick and responsive.

kindahero··on Vim is now a more popular topic than emacs on HN
hmm.. I will start worry when the number of commits to the Emacs source tree fall behind of VIM.

kindahero··on India To Biometrically Identify All Of Its 1.2 Billion Citizens
one example for how far our people can go with corruption., few days back the officials came to our village to issue these cards., they issued two cards for each (one for one hand, five finger prints are needed for one card) to claim the commission from government.
kindahero··on Xah's Emacs Lisp Tutorial
Alex wrote this[1] on emacswiki page, and I totally agree with him.

      Xah has also been a well known troll on various comp.lang.* newsgroups and played in the same league as ErikNaggum. Just browse some older stuff in the Usenet archives. – AlexSchroeder
