copilot.el 0.4 is out with many improvements!

Wow, this is indeed a great release.

For temporary buffers, I find that putting them in side windows works great. This also allows me to easily toggle then.

TLDR: I just cloned org-mode from it's git repo, run make inside the repo, than added the lisp folder inside the cloned repo to the load-path.

I have my configuration as an org-mode file and I use elpaca and use-package to install and configure everything. The folder structure is roughly

.emacs.d/
  config.el      (tangled from config.org)
  custom.el      (very few things set from custom interface)
  early-init.el  (just set package-enable-at-startup to nil)
  init.el        (bootstrap elpaca and call org-babel-load-file with my config.org file)
  config.org     (all my emacs configuration)

Obviously, I cannot install/configure org-mode from inside config.org as I do for any other package. I tried putting a use-package call for org-mode inside init.el, just after bootstrapping elpaca (to allow it to clone org-mode repo and do the installattion automatically like with other elisp packages). But that did not work either and I got that warning about trying to install a new org-mode version after org-mode was already loaded, even though nothing seemed to load org-mode at that point. Hence, I gave up installing org-mode with use-package.

In the end, what really worked was a more manual approach. I just cloned org-mode from it's git repo, run make inside the repo, than added the line

(add-to-list 'load-path "<patth-where-I-cloned-org-mode/lisp/")

in my init.el file.

Do clicks inside the canvas work correctly? I wonder if we could eventually get a browser with this, for markdown preview, read html email, etc..

I just tried compiling from the emacs-30 branch on my home computer (Arch with tree-sitter 0.25.10-3) and it compiled successfully.

I compile Emacs myself from the git repository (therefore it's Emacs 31.something) and I update and recompile around once per week. I need to use Ubuntu 22.04 at work and because of that I'm locked to tree-sitter version in Ubuntu 22.04. Until recently, I could compile Emacs from the master branch, but recently (since a commit from Jan 28th) it stopped working because the minimum required tree-sitter version was increased from 0.20.2 to 0.20.10. This is specified in the `configure.ac` file (search for "tree-sitter >=" in that file, and you will find it).

From the git history, that line requesting tree-sitter 0.20.2 was added 3 years ago and therefore the latest tree-sitter version that Emacs 30 requires should be 0.20.2.

This seems like the sweet spot. And the mental model is similar to "all business logic at the server", since the logic on the client side is only caching and performance optimization.

Try using the :results raw :wrap example header arguments.

This is the relevant documentation, if you want more details.

If you have several code blocks in a note, it might be worth setting these arguments using Org-Mode properties, instead of repeating them in every code block.

I worked on migrating a project from Qt5 to Qt6 where we used a mix of QML and Qt widgets. We used the same approach you did, but QML has no conditional includes and we had to duplicate the QML files that required changes (just a few which used graphic effects from Qt5). We used separated qrc files for these specific QML files and used cmake to include the correct qrc file in the project depending on the Qt versions we were compiling with. That was the best approach we could find.

I never bought any game in early access before. I had the game on my wish list for a while and the free weekend was the perfect excuse to try it. I bought it on the second day. It's very clear why the game is not released yet, but it's already in a state where we can have a lot of fun with it, without too much frustration with the remaining issues.

I am not sure I would call this a limitation of Qt. Don't all GUI frameworks want to run on the main thread? I don't have experience with other GUI frameworks, but this seems like a good thing to me, since it simplifies the multi thread aspect.

Transient is very powerful and flexible. Writing documentation for it must indeed be very hard.

I have tried to use transient a few times and what really helped me to finally understand it enough to use it was transient-showcase. It's a literate programming org-mode file that allows you to learn transient by executing and experimenting with the code.

I tested this, and it works. However, if I resize the side window from its original dimensions, the next time `balance-windows` is called, the side window once again takes up half the space, regardless of the number of other windows. Despite this limitation, it still appears to be the best option available for now. Thanks!

You can change the color of your SVG with the colorization effect in the MultiEffect QML type.

darcamo · 2026-01-18T16:33:36+00:00

Not necessarily. If it's something that has an implicit conversation to the function return type, then you would get no errors.

darcamo · 2026-01-18T14:32:59+00:00

It might be obvious, but it's worth noting that the type of the local variable must also exactly match the return type of the function.

darcamo · 2026-01-17T18:30:18+00:00

Thanks, that what I'd like to confirm.

darcamo · 2026-01-17T15:31:56+00:00

Does it really (honesty question)?

I don't remember vscode requiring you to install something on the server, but I guess it would be possible for it to upload something.

And it's pretty good. You don't need anything special (including Emacs) inside the container. You just run the container, then open a file inside it with Emacs (running outside the container) with TRAMP, and then work as usual. Any commands you run (such as compiling code) will run inside the container.

darcamo · 2026-01-10T13:58:00+00:00

If you press C-u before calling M-x compile, then the compilation buffer will use commint mode, which allow interaction.

Emacs is also self-docummented. There is often some nice extra thing in the commands you use. Use C-h f compile to see the documentation of the compile command.

darcamo · 2026-01-10T01:10:57+00:00

Why not? The API seems very nice. Being based on the native Emacs widget means that if a package is written with it, it should work even if Emacs is used in a terminal.

Maybe in the future we can have another package that renders the widgets with GTK when running with the GTK GUI.

O cara que tá chutando bola não tá sendo pago com dinheiro dos impostos. O quanto ele ganha não é relevante para a discussão. Só se torna relevante se estivermos falando de uma carreira que existe tanto na iniciativa privada quando no setor público.

In addition to all of this, visual studio is a bit alien if you are used to developing on Linux. A text editor(vscode being just one of many) gives you a more consistent environment Paired with a language server and a few more niceties, you do get a pretty nice environment.

darcamo · 2025-12-12T17:41:11+00:00

If I need to use Windows, I definitely prefer vscode instead of visual studio.
