As other comments note, TRAMP is the way to go for remote work. I’m able to do everything on a remote / AWS / GCP box that I would do locally. If you’re into Deep Learning / data science you can also run Jupyter Notebooks in EIN with, say, a GCP Vertex / AI platform backend (though EIN isn’t 100% reliable for every production use case).
emacs is most certainly an acquired taste but, like most acquired tastes, is cherished by those who persist and come to love its flexibility, extensibility and power.
I’m one of those people.
No matter what else I try — and I still really enjoy using VSC as a backup — nothing else comes close to my particular set of workflows (mainly data science / deep learning / AI research across Python, C++, R, TeX). Throw in the power of org, beamer, pdf tools, journaling, email, rss, web browsing — you name it — all in one place…I really never need to leave it.
Persist with it. It’s worth the payoff.
- leobg 5y agoSounds great. If you were my neighbor I’d like to look over your shoulder some time. Any pointers to blogs posts or books or videos that give a walkthrough of a system like yours, to get some inspiration?
- xenodium 5y agoA bit older http://emacsrocks.com http://emacsrocks.com One of my favourite episodes being http://emacsrocks.com/e13.html http://emacsrocks.com/e13.html the ending is just awesome. System Crafters yt channel is much newer and also amazing https://youtube.com/c/SystemCrafters https://youtube.com/c/SystemCrafters
- leobg 5y agoOh, great. Thank you!
- n-e-w 5y agoI tell you what -- you've inspired me to start a blog and write about this! Will post here when I get it up and rolling.
- leobg 5y agoOh that would be great. If you get writer‘s block or if you‘re looking for ideas on what to write about, feel free to DM me (Twitter handle in my profile). I can tell you a whole bunch of questions I‘d have as someone who considers himself a pro user and who‘s been hearing about Vim and Emacs a lot, hears the „calling“ of greater productivity and ergonomics and an improved human-computer-interface, but has never quite been able to take the plunge.
- wiredfool 5y agoI find tramp to be super slow when doing things like magit or rgrep. Slow enough that I just wind up having enacts on the remote boxes.
