Your shadow shows that light has come nearly 150 x 10^9 m, only to be deprived of reaching the ground in its final metre, thanks to you.

During my org-mode research I found a couple of cool dired stuff in Emacs. It really is amazing at what it can do.

examples:

%m - to mark files by regex.

^ goes up to parent dir; > forward subdir, < backward subdir.

super cool: activate read-only with C-x C-q. Now you can move around and change file names & dirs as if they are text lines. C-c C-c : accept changes.

s to sort. Did you know about C-u s? specify options (ex: -ls sort by size)

Z to zip; hit enter on a zip to view contents.

B612 is an open-source font developed by Airbus. It's the result of a research project to define and validate an “Aeronautical Font” to improve display of information on the cockpit screens, in particular in terms of legibility and comfort of reading. https://b612-font.com/

Why are there no tech coops active in Ireland? I'd be interested in collaborating or joining if there were one out there, but I'm far too irresponsible to actually found one. :/

A cute Pharo IDE feature that I miss on other editors: you can view all the subclasses that implement a method, and edit them from inside that search UI! It's a lovely way to refactor.

PSA: The Eurovision semifinals and the final will take place this week on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday night (Europe time). Many people, including me, will livetoot the event.

If you are NOT interested in it, I suggest you to mute the following hashtags: #Eurovision, #ESC, #ESC2019. Thank you for your patience.

I made a thing for #emacs to help me manage my gif collection with fuzzy autocompletion https://p.hagelb.org/pnh-gifs.html

I don't know if there are any #Emacs users who write #poems or #lyrics (I know they're essentially the same thing.) but if there are they might find the new "sylvia" mode of interest.
