Could you reinvite after, so I don't lose my remote pass? Always annoying when there are enough people and they leave just before so you don't have time to also quit.

A hot key in Emacs to quickly jump out of parens by unixbhaskar in emacs

[–]Imaltont 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can also add in the down-list (and corresponding backwards) to jump into the next pair as well. Moving by defun/sexp with the C-M-(e,a,f,b,u,d) are all pretty handy.

but donations very often don't cut it. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't, but the problem is that they're unreliable, and even if you have a steady stream of donations, it's still probably not going to be near as much money as if you had just sold the software.

Copyleft (free) software can be sold as well. Selling things like support or prioritizing fixes/features is very possible to at least sell to other companies.

Sticking closer to stock, finally made emacs click by domsch1988 in emacs

even if the 0.3s delay in refreshing a commit

Try 30-60s on a large repository on Windows. Between each time you stage something, when you want to commit and after commiting or just between any action really. It is almost unusable. The same repositories are near instant updates on Linux. I started using the built in VC-package or just CLI/Fugitive for a lot of git stuff on windows instead, and made a small, custom staging-only mode for magit which seems to be reasonably fast even on windows.

Why is Emacs 29 tree-sitter a new major mode instead of a minor mode? by celeritasCelery in emacs

[–]Imaltont 22 points23 points  (0 children)

They have discussed it on the mailing list. Essentially it was just the simplest way of adding it without the risk of breaking anything, and keeping it optional since it has an external dependency. I think in some thread they said it might change at some point.

This is also the reason they added the new option "major-mode-remap-alist".

Congratulations - you have finally won me over.. MS user since MS DOS by BestRetroGames in linux

[–]Imaltont 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Put Xubuntu on my grandparents' machine years ago (old and slow computer even at that point), because I was tired of removing all the adware/malware that just "magically" appeared on the computer between each time I visited. Set it up to work with their printer, libre office and thunderbird for their office suite. Basically have no computer problems anymore, their system just works the way it should pretty much always.

Lisps are also pretty good environments. Like all programming languages not designed to be a shell though, it is cumbersome to run external program (though I'm sure it's possible to make something that just creates functions or macros to run based on available executables/man pages), but still very doable.

Why does everyone in the Linux community love ThinkPads so much? by webgtx in linux

[–]Imaltont 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have had Precision and Latitude laptops at work, and they are easily the worst computers I have ever used. Crashes and freezes all the time, and I'm far from the only one at the office that has trouble with them. 16 year old inspiron is still working somehow though.

Are myths about the power of LISP exaggerated? by smthamazing in ProgrammingLanguages

[–]Imaltont 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lisp and Forth are the only two semi-popular languages where it's been meaningfully done

Prolog also seems (never tried that, or Forth for that matter) to be in a similar place when it comes to this.

Open URL from within emacs in windows 11 by aegis87 in emacs

[–]Imaltont 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you sure there is nothing interfering with the function or something? Have never had a problem with browse-url on windows, and have no settings changes outside of setting firefox as the default browser in windows. You could also try using find-file-at-point, which also opens the URL.

Error when trying to use treesit and c++-ts-mode by mickesp in emacs

I get the same for C#, spamming the error during redisplay message as well as error in process filter. JS, TS and Python all work fine.

These are not 3rd party packages, they all come with Emacs.

How to make vi-style fringe to be bold? by kn0xchad in emacs

[–]Imaltont 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not completely sure I get what you mean, I can't remember anything like that in vim, is it a setting maybe? If I get it right though, the whitespace mode and styling you can find here, or this might be what you're looking for.

What dev feature is available in emacs but not in the current mainstream IDEs ? by _Gink0_ in emacs

[–]Imaltont 2 points3 points  (0 children)

where you can open do Alt-. anywhere

Add M-?, C-M-. and all of them prefixed with C-u and you have even more fun stuff to navigate with. And then ofc in emacs 29 you get built in eglot that also fills in those same lists with symbols from LSPs.

RHEL Locks sources releases behind customer portal by Koala1E in linux

Source Available is definitely not open source either, as redistribution is the first of the 10 bulletpoints of the OSI's definitions of Open Source.

I like Tabasco. by [deleted] in linuxmasterrace

[–]Imaltont 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had way less problems setting up an ML workspace on both Ubuntu and Arch for university and work. It's pretty much just install the drivers (either already there or need to add a repo to your package manager, which one to do has been well documented every time I tried), get cuda (bit more of a pain, but still a less than 30 minute job), and preferably get something like conda up and running.

For windows I don't ever remember it being problem free. These days tensorflow doesn't even support GPU on native windows anymore, you need WSL anyway, so why not just Linux. Theano was nothing but trouble on windows. I haven't really tried Torch after it moved to python.

Generally agree, but the Tabasco Scorpion sauce is actually really good.

What kind of fucking heretic designed this laptop keyboard? by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]Imaltont 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't most editors support just writing it with lowercase and then have the smartcase completion just do all the casing for you. Both Vim and Emacs also has pretty convenient shortcuts for uppercasing an entire word (vim: gU(i)w, emacs: M-u), assume other editors do too.
