Escape from VSCode
Zameer Ul Haque has an interesting post in which he describes his escape from VSCode. Usually when you see stories like this, they’re about escaping from Vim and moving to Emacs or the other way around. Now that the new … Continue reading
Ed in Emacs
You live long enough, you see everything. I just came across ed-mode. If you’re an Emacs user who also has retro tendencies and likes to play around with old-time editors, now you can explore the “standard Unix editor” from the … Continue reading
Red Meat Friday: Star Wars and the Light/Dark Controversy
The minions at Irreal, it appears, refuse to let the light-mode/dark-mode debate die. Here’s the latest offering: Your choice between light mode and dark mode on your phone clearly dictates whether you’re Jedi or Sith — Shivon Zilis (@shivon) April … Continue reading

Jacob Bergdahl over at Towards Data Science has an article discussing what makes a good password. His advice is not entirely wrong but has some problems. His main point is that greenelephantswithtophat is a better password than jK8v!ge4D. That’s probably … Continue reading

Elfeed Tweaks
On Thursday, Mike Zamansky published a video on some tweaks he made to Elfeed. As soon as I wrote and published a post about it, I found two more posts on hacking Elfeed to make it better fit the tweaker’s … Continue reading
Zamansky 72: Customizing Elfeed
Mike Zamansky has a new video up in his Using Emacs Series and an update on his last video (Zamansky 71: Openwith). Let’s deal with the update first. As you’ll recall, the problem Zamansky was trying to solve was being … Continue reading
