Flakes aren't real and cannot hurt you: using Nix flakes the non-flake way
I am intrigued by this line in the description:
"Super Fast Emacs: Bleeding edge Emacs that fixes itself, thanks to a community overlay"
Could you possibly tell me (or link to the explanation) what's special about that Emacs instance? (I'll update this comment if I find a link myself)
I use this homebrew cask and have been very happy with it thus far, but I'm always up for some new exploration. https://github.com/d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus

Emacs 29.1 Released
Oh, I just realized I'm using https://github.com/d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus . I recommend using that over the default formula.
- Thinking about buying a macbook, does Emacs work well?
-
Change the emacs theme to light/dark according to the system theme
I think it depends on how you installed your Emacs. I know for sure that you could do something like that with this variant of Emacs for macOS as explained here: https://github.com/d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus#system-appearance-change
There is the code to do just that. Works with emacs-mac and emacs-plus.

Emacs Web Buttons
Not a badge, but a modern icon https://github.com/SavchenkoValeriy/emacs-icons
ps. Emacs plus aggregates a great collection https://github.com/d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus#icons

Doom Emacs is broke for me and life just isn't the same
homebrew-emacs-plus generally works for me. I'd recommend it.
-
Emacs MacOS icon
homebrew-emacs-plus has a whole compendium of custom icons that one can build emacs with on MacOS. You could open an issue to add this icon. E.g. I build with brew install -s emacs-plus\@29 --with-EmacsIcon2-icon to get a custom icon.

Introducing Captee alpha, looking for testers
For those using homebrew-emacs-plus, apparently there is a feature request for org-protocol support
busybox-w32

The amount of times I have accidentally done this...
Win32 port is here: https://frippery.org/busybox/
-
God's developer console
Look into busybox for windows https://frippery.org/busybox/. Pretty bad ass even with it’s downsides of missing applets and such
-
Does vim suck on windows?
Vim by itself means no supporting unix environment. It's useful to call out to powerful external tools not present by default on Windows. I fill that gap with busybox-w32. It's not a big deal once solved.
-
looking for a graphics library
Sure, it's not necessary, but a few simple, nice tools (<600kiB for an entire suite of extended unix utilities) makes thing a whole lot simpler on a platform devoid of nice tools.
-
Windows verison of cal
busybox-w32 includes a cal applet. If that's all you care about, you can just rename busybox.exe to cal.exe.
-
What's in your tool belt?
busybox-w32: standard unix utilities for Windows. It's a BusyBox port.
-
Makefile example project for Windows with source, include, libs and build folders. Also with a detailed explanation!
IHMO, even better is to just use POSIX sh in your Makefile and simply make it a build requirement. It's easy to obtain a reasonable sh even on Windows (Cygwin, MSYS2, busybox-w32), and to further support exactly this I include sh alongside make in my development kit distribution. This uniformity lets me hit all operating systems with the same Makefile. I use EXE from the environment to determine the binary file extension, if any.

Dagger: a new way to build CI/CD pipelines
I love unix tools (grep, sed, cut, etc.), and while there are some good sub-systems (msys2, cygwin), they might be bit heavey. For that the windows version of busybox - https://frippery.org/busybox/ - and then I make sure my scripts are not using too powerful features of said tools (grep especially), such that the version in busybox works. Great, and also possible to port some of that back to linux (but I mostly use it to build something, or extract some data but want to share the .bat file with others - one day when I get better in PowerShell I'll try there more).

Nushell: A New Kind of Shell
I’m using this shell daily, because it also works very well on Windows out of the box, without installing Cygwin or MSYS.
The other option for Windows users for a sane, usable shell (cmd is frankly put, shit), is busybox-w32 (https://frippery.org/busybox). But then you miss out on any of the fancy autocompletion or syntax highlighting (which is what I’m primarily using nu-shell for, I haven’t even tried their structural data stuff yet and it’s already good as a Windows shell.)
