Nyan Max<p>En otro orden de cosas. En navidad me presentaron al hijo de una amiga. Un chico listo pero muy perdido. Quería estudiar un FP de ingeniería mecanico eléctrica o algo así para coches. En resumen, tunear coches y hacer mucho ruido cambiando tubos de escape y jodiendo a los vecinos. <br>Después de una tarde conmigo hoy me ha escrito diciendo que quiere quedar conmigo para que le enseñe informática, a hacer su propia torre y sobre todo programación.<br>Ideas? <br>Muchas gracias. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/emacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>emacs</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@hispaemacs" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>hispaemacs</span></a></span></p>
Philipp :emacs: :nixos:<p>This is what the <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/rust" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>rust</span></a> book (and I guess most Rust documentation, since the Rust book was generated using the same tool) looks like in <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/emacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>emacs</span></a>&#39; integrated browser, &quot;eww&quot;.
