Marcin Borkowski – Converting an Elisp number to a string (so that it can be e.g. displayed) is a surprisingly tricky thing to do. While (format "%s" number) seems a reasonable way, sometimes it’s not. In one application I was writing I wanted to display integer numbers as integer numbers, even if they happen to be floating point numbers with zero fractional part.

And by editing I mean editing, i.e., it is often the case that I edit texts written by someone else. This is a fine distinction: for instance, when I type the text myself, I usually put the commas where they belong, but when I edit someone else’s text, I often need to insert a comma where it should be.

• 22:50 UTC (new) (history) 2015-10-17 xkcd-541 mode . . . . Marcin Borkowski – I’m still very busy at the moment (and this will look like this for three more months – my current teaching schedule is insane), but I really do not want to lose the tempo of one blog post per week (however short). So for today I chose a lighter topic: xkcd-541-mode.
