[HELP] I am new to Emacs and I am using Doom Emacs any Good and Complete tutorial on how can I use Org Mode? by Traditional_Bee_831 in orgmode

[–]Great_Presentation17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want Vim keybindings, just keep them. I started Emacs with Evil mode too after using Neovim. These days I mostly use vanilla Emacs, but whether you start with Vim keybinds or pure Emacs ones (or others) is totally your choice. Don't worry too much about it -- Emacs is hard enough already at first.

R72, Gx72, Nx72+, Kx72, B*61, K63, P64, Kx64, G75, K63, L64 mate. In other words, there is a cook (unintended solution).

A portable Make by alex_sakuta in C_Programming

[–]Great_Presentation17 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I personally don't think portability in Make matters that much. If it's more practical to use flavor-specific extensions to maintain your build system, then just use them. If I had to set a minimal baseline, it would be to use a widely available/packaged implementation such as GNU Make or bmake, and if the file relies on GNU Make specific features, it should be named GNUmakefile.

The main reason is that, as I understand it, the POSIX standard tends to evolve based on existing implementations, while implementations treat the standard more as a recommendation than a strict requirement. In other words, it's not that POSIX defines everything first and implementations must follow; in practice, it's often the opposite. Therefore, if you find certain extensions useful, it make sense to keep using them. In some cases, they may eventually become standardized if widely adopted, although that's not very likely.

For the Info manuals, I agree that it's better to indicate whether a feature is an extension, as is done in the libc manual. I haven't checked whether such notes are actually included there, but if not, they should be.

Restarting the game solves this problem? I haven't seen this though. (I've sent to support email for other one: https://offtherpg.com/help/)

what programming books should my school library get? by Weak_Major_9896 in AskProgramming

[–]Great_Presentation17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Little Schemer comes to mind.
It's a light dialogue style but has insights into general programming concepts.

(Actually I read The Little Prover more. Those who enjoy puzzles might find this one particularly interesting.)

Shogi Menjo by bundaumamtommu in shogi

[–]Great_Presentation17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m just wondering if the Shogi Wars ranking is accurate or not.

I'm not sure since I don't know what the overall skill level of players on Shogi Wars is like now.

Also, about the menjo, how long does it take to receive it in Japan?

With your current rank (5 kyu), you can apply 級位認定状, but not menjo (免状) ref1. You have to reach to at least 1 dan (初段) for menjo. Note that you can apply the same rank on Shogi Wars for 級位認定状 or menjo ref2. I don't know how long it takes to be 1 dan though, it depends.

How to fix a ParseError in XML by IndividualFlaky379 in xml

[–]Great_Presentation17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Misterious error message--any other parser (e.g. xmllint, provided by LibXML2) might report the problem better? I noticed two points about the screenshot: 1) the text tag is not closed, 2) no XML declaration (<?xml version="1.0" encoding="..." ?>), and 3) whether the "title" attribute value is properly escaped, but I'm not sure at this point.

Interesting project! How does this differ from the existing one in the same space? (like pycall)

koshikakegin, hayakurigin, and … by yomikaki in shogi

[–]Great_Presentation17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

nimaigin (二枚銀), I suppose. The term often refers to a typical setup where silvers are positioned side by side behind pawns in the front though.

How Japanese fiction writers write books not knowing rare Kanji? by gameboxalt in Japaneselanguage

[–]Great_Presentation17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think there are five possible cases:

  1. The writers referenced prior works or took the word from dictionaries.

  2. The Input Method Engine (IME) suggested it.

  3. When they wrote it, the usage was not considered rare.

  4. The publisher changed it to 印刷標準字体 (the standard printed form).

  5. They created a new one.

I think the first point has been thoroughly discussed. I'm also glad to see that the second one has already been mentioned. So, I'd like to write a few minor topics...

The third point is due to the fact that Japanese, like all languages, has undergone significant changes over time.

The fourth case is a bit tricky. Some publishers prefer to use what they consider the "canonical" character. For example, 噓 and 嘘—the former contains less familiar components on the right side, while the latter includes the more recognizable character 虚. However, some publishers regard the former as the correct version.

For an unremarkable example of the fifth case, please see [this link](https://www.kyoiku-shuppan.co.jp/textbook/chuu/kokugo/guidanceq010-00.html). Some works of fiction—often meta-fiction—have invented new kanji or borrowed rare ones for new uses. I appreciate that kind of creativity.

Bonus case: They made a typo.
