First time playing with emacs’ front-sticky and rear-sticky text properties.

It took me a while to realize the front refers to the beginning of the char (string) and not ahead. and rear the opposite . Just had a different perspective of what is what …

Funny how the solution to skyrocketing LLM token expenses is to hire more engineers to write code for you instead. 💅

(4/4) … I'm not an egoist, like some #OpenSouce activists who gladly take a “ha-ha only serious” approach to near-religious cult-of-personality aspirations.

I'm just a guy who said at 16 years old “this world is 🤬'd: the wealthy control everything & exploit the poor, how do we solve it? & also, I have such an innate ability for computers, how do I merge those two?”

The fact that others who are anti-fascist & anti-capitalist now call me a traitor for just trying to…💔…yet, I persist.

Oh nice, emacs 31 will have builtin "install tree-sitter grammars for stuff", rather than having to cobble together a bundle of libraries from random sources. That's going to be so nice, I might even start using emacs more for day to day development. The headaches of getting set up for a new language got to the point where I just switched to jetbrains IDEs so I could get on with code, but I do miss a bunch of things about my beloved emacs and its carefully crafted configurations...

A proposal to make C++ a memory-safe language: introduce safe blocks and have a borrow checker like in Rust. https://safecpp.org/P3390R0.html#design-overview #cpp #c++ #cplusplus ... IMHO, makes a complex language even more complex.

Safe C++

Looks like the "war" between vim and EMACS is over. EMACS won.

Bugger! Just upgraded my ThinkPad P14s amd to 15.1 and it fails to boot just reboots as I see DRM errors. I cannot boot off old kernel. Any ideas #FreeBSD friends ?
I came from 15.0 to 15.1 and I suspect it's an issue with my ryzen 7 graphics ???

Historical comparisons to Roman imperial decline are incorrect.

Yes, we have gladiatorial combat staged for the ruler's birthday, plans for a triumphal arch, and oaths of fealty. But the Romans had better roads, principled senators, and respect for science.
