@freemo This post leaves me somewhat bafflegabbed.

@nnethercote Welp, apparently used by Reagan a couple of times in the 80's, so that may have been the inspiration, or not who knows.

@freemo That stack thing sounds like a pipeline, stack means something else to me. I'd need a picture for the 2nd, can't visualize it from the description.

@freemo 40 yo babies always look a bit sus.

@thomy2000 but but but isn’t tabs to indent and spaces to align a well known style?

@jbzfn@mastodon.social There was an old joke about an IBM salesman who would sit on the side of his bed and tell his wife how great it will be when it's installed. Getting that kind of vibe from this "rebuttal".

@freemo There's "would be better" but more importantly "able to be elected", as most of them don't seem to be on track to be on the ballot in most states.

Every single one though? Well I have to admit Vermin Supreme has a certain je ne sais quoi, but I'm pretty sure he'd make a terrible president. I don't even know what I would do with a pony.

@freemo Everyone can see he's in decline, but there isn't really an alternative for them at this point, so denial is a coping strategy. I'll don't deny his decline, but don't see any alternative but to vote for him, and hope succession goes smoothly when necessary. Yeah, yeah 3rd party candidates, do any of these seem viable to you? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_party_and_independent_candidates_for_the_2024_United_States_presidential_election

@pkal Not sure how this got in my feed without an #emacs tag, but it needs one.

@jonny Yep, I end up using the source link quite often, or just generally flailing around a lot--It's hard to find stuff. I thought I would get used to the organization but haven't so far.

@BigEatie I've used perspective (one of the variants I forget which) for a decent amount time before deciding I didn't like it because (iirc) it made it hard to use multiple project files in the same frame. I don't use window registers either though, although I haven't really used them much. In general my window layouts are simple so I don't have much need to save and restore layouts.

Currently, I have a normal buffer select that shows only the project's (consult-project-buffer). A modifier of that gives me all buffers (consult-buffer). I can use that to access buffers from other projects I have accessed in the same session, but also helps keeps me from accidentally working on the same named file from another project. This seems to be working reasonably well.

Sorry I didn't really answer your question, but this might be another possible answer to the choice of how to do things.

@cliffle I’d call that a typoo.

@BigEatie Time saved long term is non-existent on my list of reasons why I use Emacs and before that Vim. At the top is the lack of mouse switching I need to edit text with either editor. With Emacs I'd add the ease and power of customizing it, which is primarily the reason I switched.

I suspect it is not a net savings though, but I don't really care if it is or isn't. I think it saved my sanity though, that seems more important.

@freemo Yep, but unfortunately a widely held belief, sometimes only implicitly held, but held nonetheless.

@freemo @CarKettner
Arguments about the "realness" of the wealth aside, most of the envy in the original thread is from (IMO) a zero-sum mentality, in other words the stock wealth is at the expense of the rest of us, like there's only so much pie and these guys are taking my piece too. I always find that idea amusing and wrong.
