No "outside of Python" qualifier needed.

Go's standard library is much better than Python's. Python does not actually provide what you list as bare minimum since the http library is not production ready. Go's net/http is and it's what most people actually

I sometimes ask candidates to talk about these exact things during interviews. Describe what happens when you type a command into a shell. Then how about if it's in an ssh session. It's a good way to dive into all kinds of stuff f

Some of us still use them, on the Android side there have been at least a couple ok to decent options.

Regarding the last paragraph with the question about tiling WMs, with the ones that I've worked with there are no icons, only visible or non-visible windows. The ICCCM "IconicState" WM_STATE is still handled and mapped to hid

Yep, people tend to ignore the time spent mucking about with GUI based configurations even though it often adds up to enormous amounts of time. The big difference between the two approaches is that the effort I've spent customizing Ema

You can already do that much with M-x enriched-mode which has been a part of Emacs for ages. I never felt the need to use it.

It's definitely worth a try. I used StumpWM for 10 years before switching to EXWM about 5 years ago. One great thing about merging the concepts of Emacs buffers and X11 windows is that there is only one set of keybindings you need to w
163.
by donio 4y ago
EXWM is the natural way to do this, treating X11 windows as Emacs buffers is what it's all about. Or are you trying to get just the buffer switching part without going all the way to EXWM?

I had to rebuild it with everything turned off in ./configure to get that number.

The presentation discusses this a bit around the 3 minute mark. It sounds like the compositor is a separate process.
166.
by donio 4y ago
If done right then yes, it will be. EXWM is the best X11 WM after all. Being able to treat X11 windows as Emacs buffers with the same buffer management mechanisms and keybindings is amazing.
167.
by donio 4y ago
And it gets the keybinding wrong so it falls into the ignorance category. But at least we got M-x butterfly thanks to it.

Exciting and looking forward to the code! C server with an elisp IPC is a good way to go about this, poor man's X11/ICCCM. Sounds like it still has ways to go though. Input handling (mentioned as missing) is a very big part of of

Eight Megabytes and Constantly Swapping is pretty funny now that everything else needs several GB of memory. (But to be fair even a minimal Emacs is about 20MB RSS these days).

by donio 4y ago
Depends on your definition of "purely". I will watch using an mpv managed by EXWM so it will be showing up as an Emacs buffer. Or you could use the embedded video player in EAF.

Both recoll and Xapian (the index engine) are written in C++. The document filters are in Python but they only run once per document and tend to be simple and fast (easy to add your own too btw). For my use case of 15GB or so PDF files it h

And those answers are not just wrong but confidently wrong.

I use this script to make recoll produce pdfgrep-like output so that I can use it with Emacs and pdfgrep.el. This gives a nice interactive way to wade through thousands of pdf files. https://github.com/jeremy-compostella&#x2

Maybe you don't need an org workflow. "Just a bunch of org files" is a totally fine way to use it. It's what I do too with some custom keybindings and bookmarks. I looked at some of the fancier stuff but they are not for

Curious what the backstory is for this (someone learning C for the first time on AIX in 2022)

Ugh, to me that's strictly worse. Not really any more terse, harder to read, harder to parse, harder to navigate.

https://github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial is another ActivityPub implementation in Go. It implements a full server and aims to provide Mastodon-compatible client APIs. Lots of cool work going on in this space.

I think it comes down to personal preferences. rcirc is a single file. ERC is more modular, it has the core in one file and a bunch of modules can be pulled in for extra functionality. I originally went with rcirc because I preferred the wa
