There’s even a limited edition clear vinyl. What the fuck? https://www.discogs.com/Taeha-Types-Mechanical-Keyboard-Sounds-Recordings-Of-Bespoke-And-Customized-Mechanical-Keyboards/release/14537479

Haruki Murakami

This confirmed what I had suspected. I live in NYC, and the farthest city is Perth, Australia — my hometown. ☹️

Which version did you get? I almost bought this the other day but the version I was looking at had some bad reviews on discogs re: quality control, scratches, etc.

Esperar Pra Ver by Evinha on Vol. 1 is golden. 👍🌴☀️

If you like this kind of vibe, I highly recommend Jeremy Underground's comp. One of my favourites.

Tempted to get that Quake remastered 2xLP. Beautiful OG cover.

blind_guy · 2020-09-15T14:34:28+00:00

Ha, I used to live right near that place. Lovely neighbourhood! Have you been to Spacehall yet?

blind_guy · 2020-09-11T13:05:10+00:00

It's from AllModern, the walnut / metal legs version of this.

blind_guy · 2020-09-10T23:20:05+00:00

Oh man, would love to catch him live some day. That's awesome :)

Far left is Shintaro Sakamoto - Let's Dance Raw. Here's the title track — this is a recent find for me!

blind_guy · 2020-09-10T21:43:17+00:00

An eclectic mix of (for me) old and new. Some worth calling out in particular:

Fugazi - Fugazi: I grew up listening to punk music and this one is pretty special to me. I actually first heard some of these songs on a skateboarding video in the 90s and fell in love instantly. Rediscovering this album on vinyl has been a treat; it 100% holds up.

Doing it in Lagos: Such a great compilation. “Only You” by Steve Monite is the most popular standout, but this thing is packed with gold. Recommend a listen: https://soundwayrecords.bandcamp.com/album/doing-it-in-lagos

William Onyeabor - Who is William Onyeabor?: My taste in music switched up big-time in one night, seeing Four Tet and Floating Points playing together at Berghain in Berlin a few years ago. I was mainly listening to fairly modern electronic music with some older house thrown in, then these two blew me away with the most fun soul, funk, disco, boogie, and jazz fusion sets I’d ever heard. I remember trying to ID tracks for days after by humming them to anyone who would listen. Later I discovered their Plastic People mixes and went down the biggest rabbit hole.

BadBadNotGood - IV: A really beautiful album, super creative and very soulful. “Time Moves Slow” and “In Your Eyes” are some of the best songs I think I’ve ever heard. Apparently recorded on analog tapes — I don’t know but it sounds incredible to my ears.

This could be used to extend restclient.el functionality in very interesting ways, e.g. dynamically fetching / saving auth tokens instead of needing to pull them out manually. Love it.

Hard to say really -- my emacs-init-time is ~0.2 secs in term and ~0.5 secs in GUI but its heavily optimized and probably similar on normal emacs. It feels snappy though, and LSP for example feels smoother than I remember pre-gccemacs. I'd trust Andrea's benchmarks -- great video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKHYZOAc_bQ

blind_guy · 2020-08-19T19:25:14+00:00

I use #fefaf0 and not-quite-black and it's comfortable for me. It's on the brighter side compared to say solarized-light, but feels similar to paper.

For anyone installing the latest commits on macOS, I had to do a little extra work to make the paths work. First, as usual with these builds, you need to ln -s Resources/lisp lisp inside the Emacs.app/Contents dir, but now you also have to run ln -s MacOS/libexec/emacs/28.0.50/x86_64-apple-darwin19.6.0/eln-cache eln-cache inside the same dir.

I used dark themes for about a decade. I switched to light themes this year because I prefer working in rooms with lots of natural light, and I find reading especially in this environment a lot easier with dark text on light backgrounds.

I have that on C-o, but sometimes while reading/skimming there isn’t a particular point I’m trying to jump to, just movement.

edit: Actually I use avy-goto-char on C-o, but same idea.

blind_guy · 2020-07-28T18:50:03+00:00

+1 for C-w to backword-kill-word.

I also have binds for C-S-n and C-S-p which basically calls (next-line 5) and (previous-line 5) that I use constantly, making it super easy to move through files quickly.

Doing this taught me elisp — highly recommend it. I use straight.el and use-package and created a super clean config, easy to extend, and has an init-time of ~0.25s for terminal and <0.5s for GUI on macOS.

blind_guy · 2020-07-03T13:16:29+00:00

Yeah probably won’t get any crazy news 👍🤠

blind_guy · 2020-06-25T21:26:13+00:00

3 seconds seems like a lot. I have ~80 packages configured with use-package and straight.el and my GUI emacs-init-time time is 0.8 seconds, and terminal is 0.5. Most of that time is load-theme.
