M-x Reloaded: The Second Golden Age of Emacs
Yesterday I wrote that I think Emacs is currently experiencing its (second) Golden Age.1 Today I’d like to expand on this and try to analyze the reasons that lead to this. See  ↩

Text showdown: Gap Buffers vs Ropes
I have been working on a hobby project to reimagine the C core of Emacs in Rust. On this journey, I reached the point where I needed some way to represent the text of a buffer. The simplest approach is to just use a large string or array of lines. However these each suffer from poor performance as either the size or line length of text increases. GNU Emacs has famously used a gap buffer to represent editable text.

curmudgeon they call us but it is because no one listened and get the hell off my lawn
oldschool rant but y'know it is a pain the backside when I can't describe a tech matter to an intern from within #emacs when all they know is Facebook messenger. I mean, way back when, this was not a problem, happy coexistance, to each their own. Peak Internet was fun, tho', wasn't it? Or was I just not paying attention.

In other news, #Emacs Newsticker seems to forget the status of some of the feeds between restarts.
It might not be its issue. I haven't seen this with RSS reader apps though.
After two days of excitement, I'm entering the trough of disappointment with RSS in #Emacs.

There was a time when this was all you needed (or at least all you had)

"I hope you don’t mind me asking but what keeps you coming back to #Emacs? I am currently wondering whether to look at #Neovim again - it does seem to be faster and with a strong community around it."

Should anyone be of the #Emacs and #Tumblr mindset, I'm happy to report there is a fork of Tumblesocks that, while not feature complete, is a joy to use.

I didn't need his required custom packages for Oauth and so far so good. It's rough, but the core essentials are there (the story of all opensource)
