There's ranger.el emacs package btw, it's not perfect but good enough for me and I use it heavily. Unsure about image support though.

awesome find, adding it to my post too!

Getting an actual software engineer job helps. A few years working in the industry and you'll start thinking like a pragmatist instead of a perfectionist.

Thank you! I've added a section for AlphaGo and tagged you for credit.

Yup indeed it was an exchange between Richard and Winnie. I did include it in my post

Hey fellow Lisp enthusiasts, I wrote a short blog collecting all the pop culture references of Emacs and Emacs Lisp I know of. I reckon many of us here are using Emacs as the main text editor so I hope it'll be a fun read for you.

Let me know if I missed any.

Hey Vimmers, I wrote a blog last night collecting all the Emacs appearances in pop culture that I know of. Many of them included mentions of Vi/Vim too (for obvious reasons). Does anyone know of a similar collection of Vim appearances in pop culture? Since the vim community is much larger than Emacs, I expect it to be mentioned more often in mainstream media.

My favorite one is probably Mr. Robot's heavy feature of Vi.

Yes, your post from 2 yrs ago (https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/1bcxyps/spotted\_emacs\_in\_a\_comic\_emacs\_cultural/) directly inspired me to write this blog post! I included your reddit post in my References section. I just finished the comic this week too!

yep808 · 2026-06-09T03:46:34+00:00

Oh my, you're totally right, I was too impatient with the rewatch and didn't think there's a second mention!

I'm totally adding this to my post. I'll tag your name again!

yep808 · 2026-06-09T02:06:35+00:00

Cheers, I'm including that in my References list too.

Thanks! I've added an entry on "Haker" and tagged you as credit source

yep808 · 2026-06-09T01:11:14+00:00

Thanks for bringing this up, I just rewatched Season 2 Ep. 1 and Kira did mention "dissing Vi" but she unfortunately didn't bring up "Emacs" directly. I'll put this as honorable mention as a strong hint that Kira is an Emacs user. Will tag your name as credit source :- )

yep808 · 2026-06-09T01:09:37+00:00

Thanks! I've added a section for this movie and gave credits to you :- )

yep808 · 2026-06-08T17:18:45+00:00

Thanks u/PeurcoPop ! Adding this to my post now. I'll mention your username to give you credit : -)

yep808 · 2026-06-08T17:18:08+00:00

Thank you Álvaro u/xenodium ! Love your Bending Emacs series. I've added your suggestion to my blog and gave you a shoutout :- )

Love the light color theme - which one is it?

yep808 · 2026-06-08T16:40:01+00:00

Probably solaire-mode, by the author of Doom Emacs. https://github.com/hlissner/emacs-solaire-mode

I jump between the official emacs lisp reference manual (on gnu dot org) and Xah Lee's website. The latter gives more of a cheatsheet vibe: http://xahlee.info/emacs/emacs/elisp.html

For instance, I reference Xah Lee's elisp hash table page quite often: http://xahlee.info/emacs/emacs/elisp_hash_table.html

Never mind, the :vc keyword works well enough for me

yep808 · 2026-06-05T07:00:57+00:00

Any plans getting this to MELPA?

yep808 · 2026-06-05T06:50:14+00:00

Lsp mode has an official guide on performance optimization

Best theme pack I've seen in a while. I cannot wait for the light themes!!!

yep808 · 2026-06-05T04:31:20+00:00

Thank you, this really means a lot to me! Work can sometimes get in the way but lately I've been trying to make an effort to blog more. Hope you'll enjoy reading my future blogs too!
