#til For quite some time I wanted #pyhon code folding in #emacs and even tried several packages but none of them worked as I expected it.

Now I realized that the built-in hideshow mode does exactly what I want.

Another example that the answer to "can Emacs do that" is always "yes" and very often even has it built-in. Amazing!

Heute ist Dienstag der 24. Februar 2026.

Vor 410 Jahren, am 24. Februar 1616, verurteilte die Inquisition Galileo Galilei zum ersten Mal wegen der Häresie dass sich die Erde um die Sonne dreht und die Sonne stationär im Zentrum des Planetensystems befindet.

Zugleich ist heute der 44. Gründungstag einer Computerfirma, die es nicht mehr gibt.

Sie hieß SUN.

Der 24-Feb 1982 war ein Mittwoch. Mittwoch ist ist also SUN-Day.

Using plain text files

This post is in response to Ellane’s invitation to answer eight questions about using plain text files. When did you start using plain text? During my time at university when I started using LaTeX to write my Phd thesis. Why did you start using plain text? Writing math in anything but TeX/LaTeX is a pain and in doing it I started to appreciate distinguishing between content and formatting for an end result.

Manage JDex with Emacs

A few years ago I came across the Johnny.Decimal system to organise your life and I find it really useful to organise stuff at work. An important part of the concept is the index or JDex. Johnny recommends storing it in a notes app and has examples for Bear and Obsidian. I prefer Emacs and Orgmode. Of course Emacs makes it easy to streamline the workflow. This post describes my configuration and workflow.

To spell this out clearly, the reason RAM has quadrupled in price is that a huge quantity of RAM that hasn't been produced yet has been bought with money that doesn't exist to populate GPUs that also haven't been produced to go in datacenters that haven't been built powered by infrastructure that may never exist to meet a demand that doesn't exist at all to make profit margins that mathematically can't exist while economists talk about this thing they call the "rational markets hypothesis".

Very true but not specifically related to AI, thinking first is always a good idea. And if you did think maybe you don't even need AI?
