I understand that having the DDG browser on Linux is difficult. It would be great if there was a way to just sync bookmarks and passwords using the browser extension for other browsers.

I use DDG browser for work and mobile and Firefox on Guix.

Been a happy EXWM user for a few years now. Really impressed that it comes as a desktop option for GUIX.

GUIX, EXWM, and Emacs are home for now :)

Glorious. The loading time for Eclipse was perfection

Amazing. Almost as good as the Java rap https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-Cr0EWwaTk

This is excellent news for giraffe conservation! Finally having the scientific clarity to recognize four distinct species means we can now protect each one more effectively. It's encouraging to see conservation science advancing to give these magnificent animals the targeted protection they need and deserve.

!ai are you down?

Org mode never ceases to amaze me. Great work, I'll see what my kids think of the book

Nyxt Browser already has this feature

This is a fantastic project and offers the best experience I've encountered in an Emacs-like browser. However, I have found it to be somewhat unstable. Despite this, I have great respect for the development team for choosing Common Lisp, and I hope the browser gains wider adoption. I would love to use it as my main browser across all platforms.

Nice setup! I'm using Guix with EXWM and Emacs for most things. Just wondering why you went with Qutiebrowser instead of something like Nyxt?

I'm lost down the Emacs rabbit hole. Currently using EXWM under Guix

I'd love to use Emacs for Java development, but I feel that IDEA is almost a necessity for professional Java/Spring development

I'd love to know if this was in a work setting. Did switching have any effect on your productivity? I appreciate that some languages are better suited to Emacs such as lisps and schemes.

What prompted the transitions for you?

As someone who has struggled with learning maths, this looks really great. I've set up an account and look forward to giving it a try

And yes, the Hacker News minimal style of the website is very much appreciated! well done

I'm trying to inspire my children with the same ideas. I spent my youth tinkering with an Amstrad CPC 464.

Looking for what could inspire them to tinker in the same way without always wanting a YouTube video or book to follow.

How would you create a love of experimenting and trying without fear of failing or doing something wrong?

I love the dedication. Where else can you find obscure things like this but HN

Every single time

Bingo: "Are they happy tears, Mum?"

The most interesting part for me is the relationship with the parents and children.

Compared to what I was brought up with (The Simpsons etc) it's nice that children are not only taught interesting values but also what the values of parents are

Wishing everyone the best for the new year. This is a wonderful place amongst the craziness of the modern internet

I feel like this extends to other genres but in a more abstract way. I have spent a long time engineering a build order in an rts or a load out in an MMO (I'm thinking EVE Online as an example)

Either way, thank you for putting this list together

I really enjoy using RSS. One benefit I have noticed is that I spend less time browsing websites, scrolling and generally wasting time online.

If I value some content, there will be a way to get or create an RSS feed. Pair this with a read it later service and I have a better curated collection of items to actually look through

They did cover why the headphone jack was removed in the FP4

2 stripe blue belt here! I used to use Vim for everything other than Java development and have now adopted Emacs in the same way. I am using it for Clojure and Common Lisp development along with org mode, irc, rss, git and file management

I started with Evil mode and then moved to Xah fly keys before sticking to the emacs bindings. Having the caps lock key bound to CTRL helped me a lot. I don't know if it makes that much of a difference for Emacs but using the DVORAK layout has helped my fingers

There are other bindings you can try like Meow or God mode but I don't know what the adoption rate is like for them. Emacs gives you the flexibility to set it up as you please. As others have mentioned, there may be other keyboard options that might be more helpful as well

Since the service seems to be tied to the NASA app, will this be only available in the US?

I love these threads:

- Learning to use Emacs better

- Common Lisp

- Clojure

- Getting better at chess

- Rubiks cubes and solving them faster

- Indie gaming and fighting games at the moment

Is there a reason why they used Mercurial as opposed to git? Did it provide some benefit?

As many have said, there's no money in the cure, only in the medicine

I only hope that FOSS software can learn from this

Sad to hear this. I hope for a fast recovery. I wouldn't have as much of an appreciation for free software had it not been for the FSF

Zendo[0] has been a great find for the whole family. Hoping to get the whole pyramid arcade soon

I am also interested in finding this out. So far, I've done a lot of teaching/training with Java but I am playing with Common Lisp and would love to see how others use it in education

I always find this article[1] interesting that talks about why MIT stopped using Lisp
