I'm searching around seeing if I can somehow replace the awful t440s touchpad. It's just so awful. I'm glad I rarely use it (emacs + tiling wm) but I'd love to use touchpoint more easily. I would have killed if this was

If you like programmable documents, I have two suggestions to look into: - org-mode :: This emacs mode lets you create documents of just about any format, style, and purpose. Think of it as markdown's older brother that takes HGH and c

What's so confusing from this post, is the complete lack of motivations for why anyone would want this over a shell script at the root of their project. I'd rather it even blindly rerun the command every `go build` than this half

fixed: tl;dr Go has its own version of the make tool set that doesn't allow dependencies outside of Go source files, and doesn't rebuild dependencies on file updates.

No it's not if you ever intend to type `go`. The go team has decided that the go language doesn't depend on any build system, but pushes a single build system one that requires source code compatibility and provides no benefit ove

It's literally their job to run relevant advertising.. it's a testament to Google's advertising that we expect better of them.

I'm not sure what you define as a build system, but it's even in the description of the go build tool ( https://golang.org/doc/articles/go_command.html ): > An explicit goal for Go from the beginning w

And they actually stuck with their go generate design? What an unfortunate mis-step. Let the makefile's continue. I've seriously thought about moving to gccgo just to try and get a build system where I can actually inject dependen

A simple cue is warmed towels for washing your hands. Or maybe some minty breath freshener. Or maybe some coffees. Social cues do not have much to do with the money exchanging hands.

Yea, I used vim since my father taught me.. which was my majority editor for about 10 years. The key to not having RSI with something like emacs' modifiers (or any modifiers really) has been the kinesis keyboard where modifiers are the

Yea, the layering thing is definitely hackable. I highly suggest using emacs for a specific type of task to try it out, don't go wholesale. Try using it just for taking meeting notes, or maybe only for writing a specific language (skew

Also - don't be surprised if you find out after using one of these prepackaged tools that you really do care about this stuff, and you end up calling bankruptcy on other peoples tools :)

I've never even used use-package.. Is this just to eliminate dependency ordering? With things like package-initialize, most every package in my system is autoloaded before any of my init.el really runs. It's a nice visual structur

by codemac 12y ago
Yea, I just have a separate init.el that: - loads ELPA - require's org - runs (org-babel-load-file (expand-file-name "boot.org" dotfiles-dir)) I've found it much easier than the init.el generation route.

"Technical innovation" has been redefined to mean a much lower bar of novelty. And business / commercial novelty is not technical novelty, though I realize that may be hard for the ycombinator gang to agree with.

esr knows how much of the open source community's success is driven from social factors as opposed to technical factors. I'm excited with his progress as well.

I don't hate Makefiles, in fact they're quite wonderful in languages that have file based build systems (see: C). I'm just tired of the go team touting that they are unnecessary.. except that every major go project has one (o

by codemac 12y ago
You still need a Makefile if you use things like godep, or their new `go generate` stuff. They have a long way to go on tooling; however, getting to say that is a luxury, due to just how "right" golang has been for systems work. G
