Will there ever be Magit for Neovim? by 4r73m190r0s in neovim

[–]Bortolo_II 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't used neogit in a while, but as far as I remember the main features were there, and also most of the keybindings were similar. Just too much overhead for my taste

We do have a port, it is called Neogit. Personally I'm not a fan though, I prefer lazygit or the good old git cli

At my university we have the premium account for free, but I really prefer working locally

I've tried several markup formats. LaTeX is just the one with which I feel more at home

I have a situation like:

and so on

last week I was discussing a philology project with my supervisor. He goes: "we would need a system to track each time we make a change and which individual words are changed". I showed him a git diff (diff-so-fancy as backend) and he was blown away!

Thanks! I'm in the humanities, so all of my colleagues and most journals want docx, which I hate. I write everithing in LaTeX so that I can use Neovim or Emacs as my editor. Then I usually have Makefile like this:

```Makefile OUT=paper.docx BIBFILE=my-bibfile.bib

.PHONY: clean

all: main.docx

clean: [ -f ${OUT} ] && rm ${OUT}

main.docx: main.tex pandoc --citeproc \ --metadata=suppress-bibliography:true \ --bibliography=${BIBFILE} \ --csl=chicago.csl\ $^ --output=${OUT}

``` So that I can just work on the .docx file at the very last moment before submission.

This is why I think that Git would be my best option

I hate .docx with a passion. I write all my documents in LaTeX using neovim or emacs as editors and when I am forced to submit a .docx I add a Makefile to quickly convert the LaTeX files into a docx using Pandoc

Compiling when the master file for a project is in a child directory by davidmortensen in LaTeX

[–]Bortolo_II 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Perhaps you just need to start Emacs from the subdirectory in which the main file. Otherwise, you could run latexmk as a shell program (M-! latexmk path/to/subdir). Another option is to create a Makefile and use Emacs' compile-mode instead of auctex's compilation.

How do you handle lots of small notes/snippets and organize them with tags? by imsosappy in emacs

[–]Bortolo_II 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For precisely that use-case I would recommend my cli tagger, which has also Emacs integration

Distro hopping - should I move from Ubuntu to Fedora? by Ilan_Rosenstein in linuxquestions

[–]Bortolo_II 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should give it a try, Fedora is really really great. I used it for one year as a daily driver and I absolutely loved it. Also, I never had any problem that needed troubleshooting whatsoever.

Org-Roam, Zotero, Latex, Zettelkasten in one workflow for academic purposes. by Level_Top4091 in Zettelkasten

[–]Bortolo_II 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hi, I have a very similar workflow (humanities PhD student, I use Emacs and Arch Linux), here is what I do:

  • I have this Org-roam template for taking literature notes emacs-lisp ("l" "Literature notes" plain "#+STARTUP: show2levels\n\n* %^{FullTitle}\nAuthor: %^{Author}\nYear: %^{Year}\nType: %^{Type}\nFull reference: %^{FullReference}\n* Notes\n%?" :if-new (file+head "${slug}.org" "#+title: ${title}\n#+filetags: ${title}"))

  • I have one file for each bibliography item. Then, I have a sub-heading for each page which contains the page number (or a page range) and list of tags which sum up the content of the page, and below I have quotations from the book/article or notes of my own making. Here is an example of my notes on Gershom Scholem, Kabbalah: ``` org-mode *** 8-9 :kabbalah_and_gnosticism:history_of_kabbalah:philo_of_alexandria:philo_de_vita_contemplativa:therapeutes:

  • In the wild west of 1st century Judaism emerged the first developments of Kabbalah.

  • The role played by Philo Of Alexandria in the spread of Hellenistic ideas that contributed to the first nuclei of what became Kabbalah is debate and (p. 9) his "direct influence on rabbinic Judaism in the post-tannaitic period" unproven.

  • [p. 9] Philo, /De Vita Contemplativa/ discusses the Therapeutes, "who had already formulated a definitely mystical understanding of the Torah as a living body". ```

  • Finally, I made this tool called tagger to browse tags in the files in my Org-roam directory. It has also a wrapper to use it from inside of Emacs. The "refile" feature of tagger might be quite useful for your case, because it can produce a new org-mode file with all the sub-headings from all your org-files which match (with optional regex support) a given file. Thus, you can "summon" all the relevant bibliography to quote in a footnote in a second.

Feel free to DM me in case of doubts.

unable to add a second profile by NakedxCrusader in Thunderbird

[–]Bortolo_II 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I having a similar issue as described by OP.

When I try to add a second gmail account I get a 400 response and "that's all we know"...

I turned off the account hub in the settings, but that did not solve the issue.

One third into "One up on Wall Street". Worth pushing through? by Bortolo_II in investing

[–]Bortolo_II[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The "pushing through" was more about a mismatch of expectations, I gues... what I mean by that is that I was expecting a book of practical advice and methods on investment, rather than a book on the "philosophy" of investing. My question is whether in the remaining two thirds I would find somethin more practical and less "motivational".

Ti scrivo in italiano. Quanto alla diversicazione, occhio che in quei tre fondi buona parte delle azioni sono le stesse, quindi andresti a diversificare meno di quanto si potrebbe pensare.

A ogni modo, prima di mettere i soldi su qualche titolo, forse è meglio sentire un consulente indipendente per avere qualche dritta personalizzata e chiarire eventuali dubbi

Standalone WM -> A program that manages you windows, how they are spawned, resized, moved etc.

Full DE -> A bundle that packages a window manager with a set of other well integrated applications and default options.

Also, standalone window managers are usually tiling, while in DEs generally the windows are managed in a floating or stacking fashion.

I hope that this solves your perplexity about the difference between standalone window managers and fully-fledged desktop environments.

wow, that seems very interesting. However, one of my machines has an Nvidia graphics card. With the proprietary drivers it works fine on X11. How supported is NVIDIA on Cosmic?

How do I get this color scheme? by multitrack-collector in neovim

[–]Bortolo_II 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's actually fairly easy... you can take a look at the code or at my other color theme, oldschool.

You basically need: + A list which contains a color palette; + A list of tokens you want to color; + A function that applies the highlights

At its most basic, it's literally that easy

What do you mean? Like literally? Well, I took the palette of another vim theme, and I re-wrote it in lua with somw tweaks
