For dotfiles, a good workflow seem to have a git/hg repo and combine it with GNU stow.

Just learned about GNU stow. It's a very useful tool.


cmdliner is like 100 times better than argparse in my experience.


I wonder how people working for the dragonfly project are feeling. It looks like the rest of the company hate what they are doing. But if they support censorship, they might not care what other people are thinking.


A lot of people support the dragonfly project, you just don't hear about them on HN (namely, almost every Chinese people I've talked to).


Now the question is: what are the good alternatives to revolut?


Starling or Monzo


This isn't the sortest elisp equivalent, no? I'm not a pro, but this should do the same thing for example.

    (if cond
        (progn
          (setq foo 10)
          (bar))
      (setq foo 20)
      (baz))


If I remember correctly, the same kind of hack is used by atom to allow fast startup.


> The country has long had an obsession with hygiene and cleanliness.

An obsession with shiny appearances. Hygiene and cleanliness? What a joke. So many meat shops don't store meat in a cold and clean place. Plenty of hawkers are far from clean.

> There are 56,000 cleaners registered with the National Environment Agency. There are likely thousands of independent contractors who aren’t registered. Mostly they’re low-paid foreign workers or elderly workers.

This says everything. It's easier to keep the city "clean" when you have slaves.


> Hygiene and cleanliness? What a joke. So many meat shops don't store meat in a cold and clean place.

There are legal statutes regulating this [1], and the enforcement agency (National Environment Agency) responds to all complaints about potential hygiene issues pretty fast.

I've reported some borderline cases where I felt that the places weren't storing cooked food properly, and I've always gotten a response including a statement that officers visited the place.

Would be curious to know why the negative votes? I'm leaving there, so that's not just an impression from a western guy trying to save human rights. That's how it works there.


Singapore is not very good at recycling or limiting the products of individuals. On the other hand, they recycle 100% of garbage from building constructions. Which is a pretty big volume of garbage.



Looks like magit, without the very good editor integration that makes magit awesome. Seems nice tho.


Presumably as time goes on it will become more and more integrated with Sublime Text, which is arguably a "very good editor".

Or is that not what you mean?


The beauty of magit is that the ui is just text, so you can navigate through the entire interface using just your keyboard without "shortcuts". Selecting lines to stage is just selecting lines in the diff like you'd select lines in the editing buffer. Its really nice and caters to power users, I don't know of anything else like it.


Probably to be read as (very good) (editor integration) rather than (very good editor) integration.


Yes that's what I meant. Thanks :)


Then it would presumably have been a feature of Sublime Text, rather than a standalone application?


Well, when I say "integrated with ST", I mean they will be integrated with each other.

That way, I can be a power user of Sublime Merge while only using ST occasionally (because I'm more of a vim user), or vice versa (because I'm more of a magit user). Or you can be a power user of both.

I think it makes sense in this case to have two applications. I personally am an avid user of ST, but I generally prefer the command line for git. However, there are some things that it's nice to have a GUI for when git'ing, so this is ideal for me.


There is GitSavvy.


I read a few articles about a new way to work with hg that appeared in the past few years. They were saying that we don't need to have names on every branch. That actually we don't need to name many things and it works much more smoothly. I wonder what is the opinion of hg users here.
