Burning Man culture draws a distinction between participants and spectators - one of the best ways to get the “participant” experience is by working and actively being a part of putting it on. This definitely includes build and strike. Ther

Beyond just playing the files from storage, I also get subtitles, metadata, play history / continue watching / next up, a nice 10-foot UI, and the ability to satisfy my ADHD curiousity by clicking around tags / actors /

I run emacs on MacOS specifying the `emacs-pgtk` build in my Nix config as the package. Seems to work quite well for me

They're fun little tinker devices, cheap enough that you can get multiple and play around with different form factors or loan out to friends

You'll note it specifies AMD devices, i.e. x86-64 architecture

I don't believe there's Bazzite or SteamOS available for ARM devices, which make up most of the "portable handheld" market in terms of device variety

I got several morale game overs (one of them from a 12 year old bully, that didn't feel good) before I realized there's a button to take Magnesium to restore the lost sanity. So I feel you, but I pressed on and it's a quite r

One way would be to use emacs’ artist-mode to draw ascii lines and boxes then use ditaa[1] to transform them into images. It’s not a pretty packaged GUI app but it’s certainly an option [1] https://ditaa.sourceforge.net/

Tenkeyless (TKL) keyboards are popular because you can keep your mouse hand closer to your keyboard. The tenkey is a easy thing to lose if you don't do much data entry. As for writing code and playing games, I use vim keybinds everywhe

There are screen protectors with a rough/matte finish that provide some of the friction you'd get from paper. It's not exactly the same, but it's a discrete step above writing on raw glass

I don't know if there's a way to indicate a project with the built-in project.el without a VC root. The other feature i use regularly that I don't think exists in project.el is projectile-toggle-between-implementation-and-tes

> I guess you have to globally gitignore the projectile file too to avoid committing them everywhere? Indeed, in my global git ignore, same with other workflow-specific stuff that nobody else at $WORK uses

Sure - projectile is one of the packages that convinced me to migrate from vim to emacs. It curates a notion of "project" and maintains a list of projects you visit. My workflow is based around a lot of using projectile-find-file,

Orderless is probably the way to go for a “pure emacs” solution - its selling point is that you can feed whatever function you want into the completion framework, so if you feed a fuzzy completer then you get fuzzy matching. It’s also part

by flylikeabanana 3y ago
At that point, I’d be project-scoping to individual submodules rather than the whole monolith. For something like projectile, that would mean dropping a .projectile in the submodule root so my “rip grip in project” functions are scoped to t

A .nix file is a lot like a regular programming language, except the "compile target" is actually something like a big digraph of dependencies. Each package is hashed based on the content of the build steps and dependency inputs,

Nix aims to solve a much more general problem than homebrew. If all you want is to get some packages on your system, there might not be that much in Nix compared to brew for you. The zen of Nix is that building packages is expressed as pure

Nit: It's a proper noun "Emacs" unless you're maybe referring to the executable "emacs", but at any rate the eMac was a computer sold by Apple in the education sector, and eMacs is the plural of that. Your iOS

Daniel Spiewak has posted a perspective before. The TL;DR is that Loom makes the implementation of CE/ZIO more straightforward, but it probably won't replace the effect systems themselves since they offer a lot more than just &quo

That phrase is usually referring to some sort of judgement or characterization, not a particular action. If a teacher makes the whole class stay late because a few were acting up, that's not painting with the same brush. If you think t

Isn't this the difference between concurrency and parallelism? Like you said, Tokio (I'm coming from effect systems in Scala, the current generation of which take heavy inspiration from Tokio) is good for informing your program wh
