As an aside, I see that this blog has been around from early 2000s, and has been regularly updated, almost every day. Quite fascinating...

Is exotropy really the opposite of entropy? I was glad to stumble upon this word, but on searching the internet, it does not seem to be. Could someone informed shed some light on the matter?

I have in fact. I use Emacs for org-mode and markdown. Because of some reason, evil and org-mode did not mix well - for me. There is evil-org, which I did not try.

Thank you for mentioning this. I do have something similar...

Do have a look at the second question in the FAQ :).

I do find Helix very impressive. I remember the Python LSP working without any configuration whatsoever.

However, I have vim muscle memory built over 25 years of use. I already struggle switching between Emacs and vim (or its equivalents) - for example, after a period of vim usage, I would press ESC repeatedly in Emacs, three of which are enough close a window. While Helix borrows modal editing from vim, it introduces subtle (and meaningful - I have to admit) variations, which unfortunately wreaks havoc with my muscle memory. Maybe the worst part about muscle memory is that unlearning is almost impossible. My dilemma, not Helix's fault...

Textadept is lightweight, and more...

- GTK2 is only one of the supported widget sets for Lazarus. It supports Qt5 & 6 too. I feel Lazarus should switch to Qt5 or 6 until GTK3 is mature.

- Hexchat IRC client is another popular application that is still stuck with GTK2.

Libre Office does allow customising shortcuts. I got peeved when Ctrl+Plus (or Ctrl+Shift+=) is not available to add rows or columns, but found that it is very much possible to add it within Libre Office Calc itself.

From my notes (MD):-

- The shortcut can be reassigned under Tools > Customise > keyboard

- Add Ctrl+Shift+= (Equals to not Plus) too

- Select category All commands, scroll down there are 2 Insert Cells

- Hover mouse over. It shows the Uno command. Pick the one with `.uno:InsertCell`

- Under Shrtcut Keys select Shift+Ctrl+= and click on Assign

Late 90s and early 2000s were the best days for Reverse Engineering. +Fravia, Woodmann's forum and SoftIce flickers in the back of my memory...

And yes, many of the old-school (and entry level) tuts were from the DOS era. ORC's?

Fedora has the following aliases in the root .bashrc.

alias rm='rm -i'

alias cp='cp -i'

alias mv='mv -i'

Same here. You can drop as many ISO files as you want and select during boot...

With _array formulae_ you can live without pivot tables, to a certain extent. They would auto-refresh, too...

This can be compared with fine art (as against photography or digital art), theatre (as against films), handmade (as against factory produced) etc. In all these cases, the originals occupy an expensive niche, usually beyond the reach of the common-folk.
