Ditto is great. I tried several clipboard managers and I found Ditto the best. A great feature which is not enabled by default is serching for substrings in any order, so if you want to search for an item which contains somewhere the string

The problem with ! is that it's a shifted character, so it's not a good choice for something which you use many times a day. An unshifted character would be better. E.g. comma: ,w for wikipedia

For server editing there is Tramp, so Emacs does not have to be installed on the server at all to edit files there.

by dmortin 8y ago
If you have SSH connection to the server then you can do all your editing on your own computer with Tramp in Emacs and it applies your changes remotely. So emacs being installed on a server or not is not really a reason to drop it, because

There are many protests every day in China, so people do want to protest, but many people don't, because they are afraid of repercussions. If peaceful protests were allowed then much more people would go to the streets to protest.

I wonder if the average Chinese is aware of these problems if not affected by them directly. If it is not reported in media and you don't know anyone who's affected then how would you know about this? And knowing about is this imp

Is uploading legal too? Because downloading is legal in other EU contries too, but uploading is not, so you can't use torrent to download, because that uploads too. So if uploading is not legal then you can't use torrent.

They don't want to devote resources to investigate what should they do to comply. It's a business decision. If only a fraction of their visitors come from the EU then it may not be worth it to deal with the GDPR.

Emacs has Tramp, so you can open and edit the remote file right on your computer and emacs takes care of shelling into the server in the background and applying your edits.

> Oh, and it also supposedly works really well with Lisp. Most Emacs users don't use it for lisp (aside from programming the editor if needed).

I do. I use a separate browser. There are people who want to do everything from their editors. There are people who want to do only editing in the editor. And there are middle ground people like me who want editor integration when it makes

For me flow is important, so that I don't get distracted when working. The best way to achieve this is having single key shortcuts. Knowing how GIT works uder the hood is less important than staying in the flow, at least for me as a d

If you status, commit, diff often then you don't want to leave your editor, because every little things (switching to a terminal just to do git stuff) adds up in the long run. Version control functions should be available right in your

You may want to try emacs just for magit. That is, using it as a Git GUI while using VIM for everything else (if you don't want to switch).

They could monetize it by putting ads on the maps/streetviews. They are an ad company after all, so they should have an option to show a map with ads for free, or without ads, but then it costs money.

Even taking a photo of the licensing plate is not trivial. If the robot car does not follow the violating car directly then its license plate may be at an angle where it can't be captured and if it can it may be distorted or angled, so

Maintaining such internal APIs is additional work and since most users prefer clicking in GUIs, companies ditched this approach, because it's simpler and cheaper to create a GUI only tool.

by dmortin 8y ago
Not everyone uses Apple, and not all GUIs use the system widgets. The latter are usually opaque to such scripting tools, at most you can script clicking to a certain position in a window which can break the script if buttons are moved.

Honking won't mean much if it comes from a robot. People won't care about that. License plates photos may help, but will the car send each of these to the police automatically? Police can quickly get swamped then by these reports
