Normally people use ChatGPT to vibe code, this is the first instance I'm aware of of ChatGPT using people to vibe code!

One interesting feature in this paper is that the programmers who used LLMs thought they were faster, they estimated it was saving about 20% of the time it would have taken without LLMs. I think that's a clear sign that you shouldn't trust your gut about how much time LLMs save you, you should definitely try to measure it.

There's is already a fantastic programming language called q, you should rename yours.

It depends on the type of facts, but sometimes it's much easier to verify an answer than to get the answer in the first place. For example sometimes the LLM will mention a keyword that you didn't know or didn't remember and that makes googling much easier.

Acme doesn't stand for some generic editor! It's the famous acme text editor by Rob Pike. It's an interesting editor, very different from Emacs or Vim, and yes, very mousey. In this video Russ Cox gives a great overview: https://youtu.be/dP1xVpMPn8M

One small thing I liked in the new version is the grep-use-headings user option, if you set it to t, then grep buffer lists the search results with headings, one per file, instead of repeating the filename every single time.

Look at the first letters of cycle, use, new and think.

Blatant advertising for one of my packages: Embark has convenient key bindings for all of the commands discussed in this article. If point is on active region and you call embark-act, the s prefix has all of the sort commands there, reverse-region is on r, and delete-duplicate-lines is on d. I tend to forget all the sort commands, so I often call embark-act on a region, press s, and then C-h to get a list of them.

Someone should still rename it, even if that someone is not you. 😅

There are a couple of functions that web apps almost always have and that native apps tend to lack: (1) selecting and copying text from anywhere in the app to the clipboard; (2) bookmarking individual views within the app. Of course, natives apps in principle could be faster and use more of your hardware —in practice though, they tend to be horribly bloated electron crapps. 😅 So yeah, a decent native app can be better than a web app, but good luck finding one for your purpose.

I think you meant "tactile".

My wife and I watched a classic noir film: Double Indemnity (1944). As expected, it was great.

There's probably something with with your installation or configuration. For me Emacs has always felt fast and has been getting faster, the biggest jump being of course the native compiler.

Zero. We didn't get engagement rings, not later wedding bands. The first few years of our marriage we used to get asked about the wedding bands a lot, but people eventually got used to us not having any. I think it's probably been about 15 years since we last got asked about them.

This so dumb, but once on the AskReddit someone posted:

Your murderer says, "You get to choose one object. If I can't kill you in 15 minutes with that object, you get to leave." What do you choose?

I wrote:

A confetto (the singular of confetti).

And it received 4.5K up votes.

I'd say completely off. 🙃 Vim's command mode is more like Emacs's execute-extended-command.

I can see posts in lem! I guessed correctly that issue with GPG was that it really, really wanted a tty, so I tried logging in from emacs -nw and that worked. Once the credentials are stored I can use lem from GUI Emacs! Apparently I need to install some markdown executable... I faked it with ln -s /bin/cat ~/bin/markdown and everything is hideous but useable! 😛

I tried posting this comment from lem and it seemed to work but I can't seem to see it here, so I'm posting again from the browser. I'm getting closer and closer to lem working and am very excited.

EDIT: spoke too soon, now I get DEcryption errors even in emacs -nw. Maybe I'm out of my depth here.

Did you mean counsel-compile?

Wow, just running GUI Emacs is so much easier.

What advantage does the Wikipedia app have compared to the mobile website?

Agree on Voyager, that's what I'm using to post this comment!
