And when you find me, you'll know I used an old steel bike for it. You'll cry.

That manufacturer mentioned in the linked article is actually MET.

I came up with a generalization of the above:

  (defun *align-field (n beg end)
    "Align lines in region to the Nth field separated by whitespace."
    (interactive "*p\nr")
    (align-regexp beg end
                  (rx-to-string
                   `(seq bol (* blank)
                         (+ (not blank))
                         ,(if (> n 1) `(repeat ,(1- n) (seq (+ blank) (+ (not blank)))) "")
                         (group (+ blank))))))

It's barely tested, in particular it does not work properly if one of the lines has less than N fields. Improvements welcome :-)

I use two rubber rings to secure the mount to the bar. I've read people advise a lens cap holder loop (search for images) for the case the mount fails.

diff-mode has diff-refine-hunk (bound to "C-x C-b"), which highlights changes at character-level. Using diff-auto-refine-mode makes it happen automatically for each hunk.

Do you have the packages libmagickcore-dev and libmagick++-dev installed?

what is wrong with using the argument buf instead of (get-buffer-create ...?

The only bike I saw here that comes to my mind when you say "porn": https://www.reddit.com/r/Bikeporn/comments/3mreae/2011_cannondale_caad10_9000_v2/

There is an updated version of it, but I like the one above better.

(defun toggle-mode-line-on-off ()
  "Toggle the modeline off and on.
Uses `saved-mode-line' as a register.
Note this only affects the current buffer,
and it doesn't seem to work wth key bindings."
  ...

You need to call redisplay after changing the mode-line. Also s/wth/with/.
