Okay.... that's great. Nothing I said precludes that. Realistically I suspect that at the end of the day the people who are getting things done aren't jumping on every shiny new trend. BUT they also they aren't spending weeks

Yesterday I posted something about an emacs keybinding and someone pointed out that the command actually doesn't have a default keybinding. I set up that keybinding sometime in the mid 2000's and it hasn't changed since then.

This is not the first time someone has corrected me about default emacs keybindings. Considering that I probably set up that keybinding 15 years ago, it sure feels to me like it's part of emacs. I guess the next time I am trying to giv

When you are looking at the email in gnus C-c l (org-store-link) then in the org file C-c M-l (org-insert-last-stored-link) I think. I'm not sure what you mean by dynamic link and have personally never needed to link to emails.

But if the goto fail code had been run through an automated code formatter it would have been more obvious because the human indenting error would be fixed. Is it possible to write a formatter that would fix an issue like that for yaml or p

Their repair is through IBM. I'm not sure at what point I was talking to Lenovo employees and when I was talking to IBM. Previous to converting to Lenovo I had two Macbooks. The first Intel white Macbook lasted about a year and a half

Odd coincidence, I read this HN thread and when I checked my email I had an update from Starmourn. A new scifi mud from Iron Realms that launched the end of 2018. I can't say much more about it though. When I signed up to the mailing l

I mentioned in another post that I've found that in practice emacs blocking isn't an issue for me. What I didn't say is that I did need to do some configuration to make that happen. Mostly I just installed the async package a

I'm pretty sure that KDE at least (no idea about gnome) has the same kind of tiling feature that recent Windows version have where dragging a window to the left/right/corners tiles it. Before I discovered tiling window manage

I'm just reporting my personal experience. That wasn't the first or only poor interaction I had asking for help trying to learn. You also are not helping make the case that the Common Lisp community is fine. Your response complete

I did a quick search and found the /. post that convinced me to buy Practical Common Lisp https://news.slashdot.org/story/05/04/28/1936206/lisperati.c... which was nostalgic. So this happened a

I agree with you about preferring manual tiling, the worst thing about manual tiling managers is that there are so few choices. EXWM is my favorite with StumpWM a close second and i3 a distant 3rd. I've been using EXWM for a few years

Check out BricsCAD. Bricsys recently released shape for free, to compete with Sketchup I guess. It's a reskinned and (greatly) simplified version of their CAD product. https://www.bricsys.com/en-intl/shape/ T

I recently posted on HN complaining about Nix and Guix. For myself (and I suspect many people) when installing GuixSD, before I even have the system running, I'm going to need to figure out how to package the Linux kernel with firmware

I've used Ansible and Salt and I've found them much easier than dealing with nix. With nix I always end up digging through the source code to figure out how to anything. Previous to NixOS I was actually using a simple configuratio

I recommend you keep holding back. I've been running NixOS on a personal vps and my laptop for close to two years now and it was a mistake. The official documentation for the configuration language is as far as I can tell like 20 pages

Why is it impossible to find a small advanced calculator? I use an hp-35s now but I hate it. I want a calculator with rpn, programmability and an equation solver that is pocket sized. I understand rpn is niche, but relaxing that restriction
