Emacs has its own analog of treesitter, a parser library taking grammatical descriptions, called the Semantic Bovinator that along with sidebar and a code browser whose name I forget and projectile made up the a loose Emacs Development Environment.
(It can use treesitter, too.)

Oh my gosh, Emacs really is the best ereader and the beast PDF reader. Navigation Just Works (once you configure it) in the treemacs sidebar, you can bookmark stuff, link to passages in org-mode.
And unlike most ereaders it treats epubs as just textual data without trying to enforce some […]

I’m all for insulting Peter Thiel, but there was nothing corrupting or evil about the Palantirs. Yes, if you gaze into one while it’s on a psychic video conference with the most evil being in Arda you’re going to have a bad time…

I also don’t like how springy and elastic most flirt wands are. Elasticity is nice and all, but I feel like a stiff wand and string with a good length to it lets you have a lot more control and ‘play’ in the feather, while the trends toward elasticity makes it a lot bouncier.

You can either make fun of things that are important to me after I tell you to knock it off or you can complain that I never talk about anything important to me with you.
Those are your options.

So, the two people that I’m reading this and I have sort of come to the agreement that we do not like Rama and are kind of hate-reading this.
I still find it really entertaining and interesting while also kind of…not liking the story or anyone in it.

It’s _so weird_ to me that my mother just out and out accepts ‘asexual’ as just a thing that happens to run on my father’s side of the family.
(I don’t know whether it runs on my father’s side of the family or how that would even work.)

`mkosi` is probably the best way to just get a tarball of a distro you can stand up to compile and test things against, especially now that so many distributions don’t distribute anything but crappy ‘images’.

Much of the Epic of Gilgamesh and the Ramayana could be prevented if people followed a simple rule:
When a supernatural being falls in love with you and asks you to do things with them and you don’t want to, say “No, thank you.”
By _no means_ joke about passing her back and forth […]

In my experience, 90% of the time when my emacs install quits working, it’s because I have some package from nine years ago installed that I forgot about.
