Updates. By Jeff Kreeftmeijer

You can use Git’s -m option multiple times. The first is the subject line, and every subsequent one is a paragraph:

$ git commit -m "Subject" -m "First paragraph" -m "Second paragraph"

I opted to install packages by hand for now, hoping to reduce the number of installed packages compared to Spacemacs or Doom, but I might check them out in the future.

Same goes for non-terminal Emacs, really. I’m quite comfortable in the terminal, and would prefer not to have to configure a GUI to look decent. I might give it a shot later, though. What am I missing? :)

Straight is on a list of things I have yet to check out. I’m taking it one package at a time right now.

Thanks for the tip, and please feel free to keep ‘em coming if you have any more. :)

ProTip™: Add unique typos to your git commits, as they’re easier to search for.

I’m on macOS, and have been trying terminal Emacs with Evil mode for the last couple of days. It’s been a lot of fun so far!

I haven’t really committed yet, but I’m amazed how workable Emacs with evil mode is out of the box. It’s been a lot of fun.

To celebrate my eleventh Vim anniversary, I decided to switch to a proper editor.

Oh, yes. Monomorphization has become my new favorite.

Definitely, spam is bad. This was mostly about complaining on the internet about how difficult it is to deal with recruiters offering you jobs. It’s a bit of a weird flex.

Complaining about recruiters emailing you is a bad look. Please stop.

Using a formatter like rustfmt, you could generate multiple versions of a code block with different column widths. Then, through JavaScript, you could load the one that fits based on the viewport width to get actually responsive <pre> tags. 🤔 #freeprojectidea

GitHub’s Copilot is basically AI StackOverflow in your editor, but without the mediocre explanations or disagreements on performance.

Let this be a cautionary tale. Install a formatter in your editor and run it on save, lest you’ll break linter with your dinosaur Ruby and everybody who sees it will laugh at you and your single quotes.

Ah, a connoisseur. Delightful! https://github.com/thenickdude/wacom-driver-fix

Ah, pen tablets. The pen for my CTL-4100WL stopped clicking, so I’m now back to my > 10-year-old MTE-450. Wacom doesn’t have drivers for that on newer macOS releases, so I’ve had to install a version somebody patched. But it works!

TypeError: Jest: a transform must export something.

🤷‍♂️

If somebody would ever think to create a syntax highlighter based on Vim’s highlight groups, they could theoretically use my new plugin called synner.vim to extract tokens and let Vim do all the hard work. 🤷‍♂️

Also, call out jokes that normalize working on weekends.

Don’t work weekends.

Joking aside, window.css has been great for a project I’ve been working on.

This gif was created by stitching together screenshots of HTML pages with <pre> tags, which were generated by converting a byte stream recorded from the terminal to HTML using ANSI escape sequences.
