Here is what happened after I decided that gmail's changing email security also warranted finally changing to imap, and then letting it download the mail all night (and it's still not done). Future issues expected.

As of about an hour ago, my gmails setup started breaking my getmail. Should I fix it or can I get away with completely dropping them?

Today I discovered the "original" source for the term "#lisp #curse". Read and enjoy. http://www.winestockwebdesign.com/Essays/Lisp_Curse.html

PS: The site is as horrible as the writing is not. Don't let that stop you.

We chafe at the "impurity of the syntax artifacts that have to be injected to do whitespace editing."

Enjoying catching up on old episodes of the @JacekSchae #Clojurescript Podcast, I enjoyed an insightful interview with the Shaun Labron, author of Parinfer who is apparently no longer on Twitter. Now what I want to know is how SmartParens came about as the #emacs next thing. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s2-e1-lisp-editing-with-shaun-lebron/id1461500416?i=1000448529731

how every Monday starts for me. #email

I've always been fascinated to hear @stuarthalloway talk about using an #emacs environment that changes once/decade. Enjoying catching up on @JacekSchae #Clojurescript Podcast, Great interview about his insight into Spartan IDE and clean mental attics. https://soundcloud.com/user-959992602/s2-e2-repl-with-stuart-halloway

I was just inspired to have this partially-thought-out plan. For the next week I will not scroll any social media -- I will do all my reading via RSS streams and emails, for which I've set all my notification settings. I will not visit social media directly except to post.

https://www.getrevue.co/ interesting. Twitter has entered the mailing list business. What do you think, @@obryant666 ?

These are my weakpoint with #css so this seems valuable

Modern day digital struggles: "listening" online includes checking Telegram * 2, Git*, Slack, MatterMost, Twitter * 3, Mastodon * 3, RSS feeds, Reddit, Zulip, and every once in a while, voicemail and text messages. I can use #emacs and #email to reduce the surface area of 8 of those, so that's something to stem the flood.

Shortly after reading this I lived it in a #ClojureScript react wrapper:

Did you know React catches common typos and warns you against them?

I love the perspective shifts that can work into troubleshooting

These are some great reasons .org is a good replacement for .md. I should look into toc-org

The experience of writing README in @emacs Org-mode is unreal!
Some of the benefits:
1. folding and focusing on sections
2. auto-generate table of content (toc-org)
3. call API and format results directly in doc
4. inline display images
5. magical git interface (magit)
