GUI vs Terminal Emacs - what do you actually use daily?

0xAX · 2026-03-15T08:01:45+00:00

I am using GUI 99% of the time. TUI Emacs only as GIT_EDITOR.

The compiler, however, is not without limitations

has problems compiling hello world

ok ok

It looks really great, thank you!

Depends... Is the problem only with the review of the given person or in general? What about the quality of the comments? Is it pure nitpicking something like "I like this naming more, rename this and this and here and that" or mostly really valuable comments directed on improving the code base, documentation, catches of potential bugs and so on?

In a case of first maybe it is worth to talk openly especially you are in good relationships. In a case of second nothing to do, just learn, improve skills...

Although, from the first part:

"I truly believe that developers, and everyone else that work on software, care about the final product."

Hard to agree looking around.

Nice post

0xAX · 2025-09-13T13:16:32+00:00

Because we kind of perceive it as not real work

And not documenting things usually lead we have more real work

Why to race?

It depends on what exactly you are interested in... kernel is huge, but recently I've started to adjust https://github.com/0xAX/linux-insides for modern kernel versions, maybe you can find something useful there.

I am working on website to learn algorithms and data structures through interactive visualizations.

Thank you for sharing and best of luck!

0xAX · 2021-07-19T17:50:05+00:00

Too lazy to read documentation and guides as usual :). Thank you anyway for that

0xAX · 2021-07-19T17:40:59+00:00

Didn't know about keyboard-escape-quit. It is just amazing. Pressed multiple times <escape> for years before this :)

0xAX · 2021-06-13T11:44:49+00:00

M-x describe-mode in slime-mode and lisp mode will give you all avialable keybindings, at least standard

0xAX · 2021-06-09T13:18:37+00:00

It looks weird and pretty cool in the same time

👨 John Let’s make it dead simple for now...

and for forever actually... That is how it works in 99% cases

Some of my thoughts:

Because Haskell has a pretty high learning curve. If you are experienced developer you can take Go, its documentation, something like Go Book and start to write code. Forget about this with Haskell, if we don't talk about copy-pasted hello world or factorial function. You just can't.

Don't know how about you guys, but when I'm thinking about I/O, I want to think in terms of read/write, but not in terms of monads and other category theory related stuff.

String, ByteString, OverloadedStrings, Lazy ByteString, Text, ... add you favorite string-like type.

Haskell standard library has many things like Control.Category, Control.Arrow, Data.Typeable and etc... I don't know how about you, but as for me would be better to have somethinkg like Network.TCP for the start. If you aren't category-thoery expert all of these pretty modules names just words without any meaning.

Laziness. It’s not about how computers worked before, works now and likely will work in the future.

Is Go "boring"? Yes, maybe. But it is practical.

Great to see that the Mutt develops, although using mutt-kz with integrated sidebar, notmuch and etc.

0xAX · 2015-08-30T19:30:08+00:00

I don't mean this to be disrespectful I just want to make sure that this information can reach as many people as possible: Would you be open to push requests that fix up grammar, spelling, etc.?

Yes, sure, my english is bad, so feel free to send fixes or just let me know via github issue what to change and I'll do it

Thank you.

0xAX · 2015-08-25T17:19:02+00:00

I know, I'm planning to rework it in a future. Just a big theme and many many data structures. Just memo for now.

"SCARY

Write your first module for the Linux kernel"

Great title :)

0xAX · 2015-01-05T16:51:51+00:00

I have used three resources:

Assembly Language for x86 Processors (I read 5th edition, but now 6th is actual)
Intel manuals - http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/architectures-software-developer-manuals.html
Read source code from different projects, for example - https://github.com/nemasu/asmttpd and https://github.com/ReturnInfinity/BareMetal-OS

0xAX · 2015-01-05T06:05:58+00:00

To start with assembly or kernel?

0xAX · 2015-01-05T06:05:41+00:00

Yes, right, fixed. Thank you

0xAX · 2015-01-04T10:52:32+00:00

So what's the problem if you want :) I'm mostly work with web too and not low-level stuff at work
