“Though 16 OUGHT to be good enough!” Can’t believe you said that :)

I do but haven’t noticed the slow downs. I am likely a slow coder.

Just emacs.

Same here. I just spent a day rewriting all my customizations. So far it’s fine. Every 3-5 years I revisit the config :)

I don’t know how to get to the line being edited in emacs, but the skim integration works also with skim +emacs-mac.

I will apologize to your coauthors. If there is a student among them, then I’ll delete these posts :D

My advisor and I learnt most of git while working on a paper. It never made it on time. At least we didn’t have to complain about rev B for the rejection.

Not that you would be swayed by silly screenshots, but emacs-mac (or even plain old emacs) is quite nice these days.

That could work too. The following are the incantations that work on my Mac.

brew tap railwaycat/emacsmacport

brew install emacs-mac --with-modern-icon --with-native-comp --with-mac-metal --with-imagemagick --with-xwidgets --with-starter --with-librsvg --with-natural-title-bar

I loved the auctex and dictionary integration. Anyway, at some point, quite sure for some silly reason I switched and have never looked back.

I think the ⌘+ combinations work on plain emacs (guess I am using some package or it works out of the box). The clipboard integration also seems to work.

I assume you use emacs for coding, writing, and emails!? If time permits, could you explain what clunky means in these use cases. I am just curious.

Is there a reason you can’t move away from aquamacs?

I loved aquamacs but moved on to using emacs-Mac or plain emacs many years ago. It’s sometimes painful to upgrade versions every two years or so, but otherwise no issues.

Nice!

I use git and emacs with magit. It’s quite nice in helping you pick what you want to commit (from one file, several files, …)

My kid said that the odd one out of Africa, Amazon, Asia, and Antarctica is Amazon … because Amazon is a shop 😝

Never mind. Just started reading the original post and it already provides some hints.

Do you have a pointer or two on the fundamental aspects of the language that make it impractical, if not impossible, to speed it up?

Congrats!

A page from Ian McEwan’s “The Cockroach”

Read Ian McEwan’s “The Cockroach.” So much of what he wrote seems like has become the reality today.

Thanks!

Where?

YouTube video by ET NOW Jeffrey Sachs Goes Off, Roasts Donald Trump’s Trade Talk, Says 'Mickey Mouse Is Smarter Than Him'

This panel with Jeffrey Sachs seems quite good on this topic: youtu.be/gNson4TqUO4?...

Congrats!

Great! There are “negative resumes” from really good researchers also. See people.cs.rutgers.edu/~sn624/failu...

It helps when people like you talk about rejections. It should be obvious as you say, “it wouldn’t be research if it always worked.” I think, however, we need to talk more about where we failed, how we pivoted, … etc

a beautiful campus.

Oh! I’m lost :(

Cute photo!
