  • Same here.

    The biggest diss I have on emacs users, as a vim user, is that emacs is the only text editor where people routinely need to keep a book about it on their desk!

    I used to work with a bunch of emacs guys and they all had an emacs book or two on their desk or as a monitor stand. They usually also had one on awk and/or Perl to go with it.

    I’m sure they’d probably make fun of me for being unable to edit a file with anything but my specific vim config, which is not compatible with any other human’s vim config.

    (I would never seriously judge someone on their editor, but I will bust an emacs users chops and accept a good natured jab back)

    I just hear that they’re so insecure they need to define themselves by someone else’s deeply flawed version of better, instead of just being themselves and acknowledging what they like.

    It’s like asking what’s the best colour, and someone answers “black, because it consumes all the other colours”




  • Reddit probably isn’t, as that would be cooking their metrics and Huffman would get fucked by the long arm of the SEC. They might still be, Huffman loves Elon and Elon got away with tons of shit.

    Advertisers are probably paying more content farms to astroturf it though.

    Plus without the API, do you really think people just stopped scraping Reddit? They just run a headless Chrome instance now and I bet Reddit doesn’t look the gift horse of traffic in the mouth.
