Emacs Bedrock–A minimal Emacs starter kit
I can vouch for general.el[1]. It's easy to use and it integrates with use-package clauses, which-key and evil states. You can look at my config[2] for examples.

Evil mode's kinda hacky
If you need more fine-grained keybindings control use https://github.com/noctuid/general.el

symbols function definition is void: map!
If you're relying heavily on Evil states and leader keys I also recommend this package: https://github.com/noctuid/general.el

bind.el -- A key binder with prefix, autoload, repeat-mode and save&restore support
If I have to say one or two things about them, general's readme looks a lot and may be hard to grasp for starters who just want to bind keys. I want bind to be the go to package for newcomers and unify people who are just bored of typing define-key or okay with looping since bind is close to that simplicity yet being powerful due to its design. If you are missing something, please open an issue and see if we can add it.

How do you call interactive commands with arguments like in vim?
For binding keys I highly recommend the package noctuid/general.el. Specifically binding to general-key-dispatch. Something like: (general-define-key :states '(normal visual) "/" (general-key-dispatch "/" 'ag-search :default 'evil-search-forward))

Anyone here uses evil-mode with Colemak-DH? How did you set up yours?
I use standard Colemak. I've added the following configuration to be able to exit insert mode by pressing l and h in sequence (that key combination is convenient to type, but still uncommon enough in most words, the main exception being localhost). (general-imap "l" (general-key-dispatch 'self-insert-command :timeout 0.25 "h" 'evil-normal-state)) The above code uses https://github.com/noctuid/general.el.

Help with setting up emacs on windows
https://github.com/noctuid/general.el Keybinding and leader-key manager for Emacs. There are other packages but this is the best one imo - it even includes vim-style map commands.

A good config with leader keys
Gonna drop a link to https://github.com/noctuid/general.el

any users of the Japanese input method? question about input-method.
(general is a keybinding helper package, not strictly necessary but way simpler than the default)

A Love Letter to Intellectualism
gnu.org - contains everything you need to research his philosophy.
stallman.org - personal website, contains a lot of opinion, but I absolutely respect this man in all what he says.
emacs.org (redirects to https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/) - his non-philosophical work, one of two mainstream console text editors.

The KGB, the Computer and Me – The Cuckoo's Egg Story [video]
Forever, there was a file included in stock Emacs, `spook.el`, which could be hooked up to automatically add random strings of "interesting" keywords to each of your email or Usenet messages (in signatures, or in headers like `X-Spook`).
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Ma...
Looks like copyright date of 1988:
https://github.com/emacs-mirror/emacs/blob/master/lisp/play/...
https://github.com/emacs-mirror/emacs/blob/master/etc/spook....
Try `M-x spook RET` in an Emacs buffer.

How to combine daily journal with general database of people, places, things, etc.
If you want to spare a couple of detours, you probably could start with Emacs Org-mode according to Greenspun's eleventh rule: "Any sufficiently complicated PIM or note-taking program contains an ad hoc, informally specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of Org mode."

Using Common Lisp in Emacs
The whole cl-lib thing is a total disaster:
https://github.com/emacs-mirror/emacs/blob/master/lisp/emacs...
They added cl- as a prefix to each Common Lisp symbol.
FIRST is now called cl-first, CAAAR is now cl-caaar .
I would really prefer if GNU Emacs removes all Common Lisp functionality, instead of creating this really wacky stuff, with discussions about this topic every year.

Proof of Concept clang plugin that automatically binds C/C++ -> Lua
Their DEFUN and DEFVAR macros for example let us define a function or a variable that will be available as a Lisp function, and can be used as an ordinary C function from the C code. Emacs is written in pure C99 language and works with both GCC and Clang I believe. We can just define a C function via macro, and it is auto exported and made available to Lisp. For example my first patch to Emacs was for this function (we added "count" argument to make it possible to skip enumerating files in a directory for the case when user code is just interesting if a directory is empty or not):
