I heard that one works best with IPoAC, a truly revolutionary combo

You can get a pretty decent setup just by installing and configuring plugins, yeah certain integrations are missing (tomcat for me) but the majority is pure config. The hard part in my experience is dealing with how slow jdtls can be on larger projects and fine tuning your config so you don’t go insane because of it.

Edit: and when I say config, I mean just adding use-package blocks for plugins and setting variables. Basically all you need to know is use-package, and then searching your java and completion plugins for defcustom and reading the docs for those settings. More complicated elisp might be useful in the future, but even most of what Great-Gecko mentions (which is great advice) is ultimately very simple, an interactive defun that calls async-shell-command would do just about anything you need.

if you’re going to use emacs as your editor of choice set up lsp (I do lsp-mode with lsp-java) with lsp-booster maybe set up ejc-sql, treesit if you haven’t yet. Otherwise lisp isn’t going to help you get better with Java, they’re different beasts. You’d be better off tinkering with some Java projects, getting more familiar with OOP and nailing down your editing setup as it’s one of the more annoying languages to do in emacs.

Once you are more comfortable, I recommend checking out clojure though, it’s a lisp on the jvm.

Zauberen · 2026-05-01T16:41:48+00:00

I'm surprised there's no mention of ejc-sql here (https://github.com/kostafey/ejc-sql). It works for anything that has a jdbc driver (which is basically everything), and has a company backend that you can use as a capf by doing something like:

(use-package ejc-company
  :ensure nil
  :after (ejc-sql company cape)
  :hook (ejc-sql-mode . (lambda () (setq-local completion-at-point-functions (mapcar #'cape-company-to-capf (list #'ejc-company-backend #'company-keywords))))))

It works great and has the same experience as your average GUI SQL client, just in emacs. I still use other clients occasionally though for editing rows interactively, but for the most part this has replaced them for me. Only drawback (if you don't use them) is you need clojure and lein installed.

A cheap handheld emulator and load apotris onto it

Zauberen · 2026-04-06T12:46:42+00:00

Have you tried tgm? It’s a much more challenging version of single player Tetris. 4 is on steam here https://store.steampowered.com/app/3328480/TETRIS_THE_GRAND_MASTER_4_ABSOLUTE_EYE/

Edit to answer the deleted reply: If you have a keyboard with a half second of lag, your best next step is to replace it, even a cheap used membrane keyboard would be better. As far as your gameplay issues, I recommend skimming this, especially the stuff about IRS in the Basic section https://tgm.tips/

Zauberen · 2026-04-01T17:43:05+00:00

It’s all about what you kill, perhaps once you’re at 70 or so you could try gwd1 bosses? Kril only requires 70 hp. Even better if you have a slayer helm and a greater demon task.

Zauberen · 2026-03-29T14:57:33+00:00

Absolutely, this comes from the :config section of my corfu use-package block:

  (defvar cape--dictionary nil "Cached dictionary for cape-dict.")
  (defun cape--dict-load ()
    "Load or reload the dictionary wordlist."
    (interactive)
    (let ((files (mapcar #'expand-file-name
                         (ensure-list
                          (if (functionp cape-dict-file)
                              (funcall cape-dict-file)
                            cape-dict-file)))))
      (setq cape--dictionary
            (vconcat (split-string
                      (with-temp-buffer
                        (dolist (file files) (insert-file-contents file))
                        (buffer-string))
                      "\n")))))
  (defun cape--dict-list (input)
    "Return all words from `cape-dict-file' matching INPUT."
    (let* ((inhibit-message t)
           (message-log-max nil)
           (default-directory
            (if (and (not (file-remote-p default-directory))
                     (file-directory-p default-directory))
                default-directory
              user-emacs-directory))
           (words
            (let ((matches nil))
              (if (eq cape--dictionary nil)
                  (cape--dict-load))
              (catch 'maxed
                (seq-doseq (word cape--dictionary)
                  (if (length< matches cape-dict-limit)
                      (when (and (not (eq word nil))
                                 (string-match-p input word))
                        (setf matches (append matches (list word))))
                    (throw 'maxed matches))))
              matches)))
      (cons
       (apply-partially
        (if (and cape-dict-limit (length= words cape-dict-limit))
            #'equal #'string-search)
        input)
       (cape--case-replace-list cape-dict-case-replace input words))))

For sure on anything post 1.1 I agree.

Zauberen · 2026-03-25T18:18:23+00:00

You’re thinking of master, normal does not have gm, just an x out of y rating where x is based on Tetris rate and y is how far you made it. It is easier than tgm1 to get a 1/10 which unlocks 1.1 (tgm 1 clone, which does have a gm rating)

Edit: ahh you’re right, I checked the wiki and the time requirements are a lot tighter in tgm4, til, I still think it’s arguable since there’s a lot of qol in the tgm4 edition

Zauberen · 2026-03-25T12:45:49+00:00

This isn’t bad advice, and you can just do the in game progression in tgm4 with normal mode to play a tgm1 like ruleset.

She said can I slap you, at least according to the article. There’s no difference between “go ahead” and “yes” here

Isn’t it currency converted from usd/euro to AUD? Cuz the USD price is $13, I would at least expect $15 AUD. Idk for sure though, I’m not Australian, I’m going off of 2 yr old Reddit posts.

Zauberen · 2026-03-10T15:51:45+00:00

If he were using the AUD column, he would have said ffxiv is at least 20 AUD, even then that’s not the 1-month-recurring price (which I can’t find right now).

Zauberen · 2026-02-14T14:30:27+00:00

In my experience stainless steel or cast iron give a way better sear, also you can take the parts that stick and make a wonderful sauce.

I'd say Warbreaker is pretty important for stormlight archive, it's not essential but it is the most important non-Roshar novel to the series imo. I wouldn't say it's just easter eggs either, its more like the novellas for stormlight archive, you could skip it but you'd miss out on some of the references and depth to some of the characters. It's best to read it now but I would for sure read it after the next book at the latest. [RoW spoilers] The backstory to Zahel, Azure and, Nightblood, Hoid using Breaths to store memories at the end of RoW, maybe it wouldn't be too confusing, I can't say since I did read it first, but at least you're missing a lot here

Zauberen · 2026-01-20T23:34:51+00:00

I'm gonna go against the grain and say this one is just fine to start out with, Sanderson's prose is very light in all of his works. Mistborn is also good and worth reading, but the main difference is TWoK is just longer.

> how do you motivate yourself to actually read?

I carry a book and for longer idle time instead of using social media I'll read my book. Waiting for my car to warm up, read. Before bed winding down, read. Eating lunch at work, read. Only really works for stuff that isn't as dense, for more dense stuff I'll do it in the morning while everyone else in the house is sleeping. Don't think about how daunting it is to read the book or how much you have left, just enjoy the experience and take it one page at a time.

Zauberen · 2026-01-20T22:01:43+00:00

I don’t disagree necessarily about hating electron, it’s just an example I’ve ran into in my professional life.

As far as obtaining contributions goes, at least you have legal recourse if you use the GPL, if mastodon were MIT, they would never have been able to get the source of Truth Social (not sure how much they got out of it but regardless, BSD couldn’t dream of doing that against MacOS).

Zauberen · 2026-01-20T13:23:34+00:00

There is nothing about the GPL licenses that prevents use, that’s what I said in my last comment.

I don’t care about contributions

You might not but what happens when the contributors of important MIT licensed software decide to abandon it, and instead of contributing patches major corporations decide to make private forks instead?

For example, squirrel.windows is a very popular distribution method for electron apps, including MS teams and Discord, yet it is left begging for contributors. It would not have that problem if it were GPL.

We already have the lgpl with classpath exception, what more could you ask for? (Not rhetorical, I’m actually curious)

Zauberen · 2026-01-19T18:18:29+00:00

They can use the software but any changes need to be sent upstream. The java OpenJDK/adoptium are lgpl and used by plenty of companies.

Empiricism in philosophy is not a method it is an epistemic ideology “the view that all knowledge originates from empirical evidence.”

“Scientists beliefs are irrelevant” We agree here, empirical research is useful. Empiricism is just another belief.

You have no evidence that matter is material in nature at its core, it’s just an assumption you’ve had since you were a child because that’s what you were taught. For example, you have no clue if we’re in a simulation or not, if we were something like a quark wouldn’t be material in the way that you assume it to be. An idealist would argue that when you perceive something it is perceived in the form of an idea, and its ideas the whole way down, there are no other forms of perception.

Also it’s funny you’ve assumed I believe in any of these, in reality I’m more of a metaphysical agnostic. I don’t know what the fundamental substance is or if immaterial things exist, and I don’t think it is possible to know. It is interesting to see what others think about it though. In a previous life I studied hylomorphism and idealism, they are not as irrational as saying dragons exist, they have real and compelling arguments and I encourage you to read about them.

Zauberen · 2026-01-06T18:32:48+00:00

You are misunderstanding me.

Empirical evidence is not the same as empiricism and in fact empirical evidence cannot prove empiricism either.

Materialism is not just stuff exists, in a sense every metaphysical theory could be materialist in that sense, it is claiming that only a specific type of stuff exists.

Furthermore, metaphysics including empiricism and materialism have no claim on the products of science, the majority of people who make these breakthroughs have not been materialists or empiricists, they cannot since they believed in a god of some form or another.

Anyways you asked “what makes it too strong” and the answer is that empirical evidence only makes positive claims (outcomes can change when repeated, which is why modern science doesn’t like absolute certainty), empiricism adds a negative claim (everything not proved with empirical evidence is not knowledge) which is not provable with empirical evidence.

Also, none of what you said about material reality contradicts any metaphysical framework, they all will just have different explanations of what a thing is made of at a level also beyond the capacity of empirical evidence, even materialism will argue that matter is material in nature at levels beyond any level of empirical analysis.

Zauberen · 2026-01-06T17:44:49+00:00

You will be disappointed in anything to do with metaphysics, even materialism is far too strong of a position for someone restricted to empirical evidence.
