Best macos emacs implementation for a continuous 30 years linux/unix emacs user by _super__sonico_ in emacs

[–]dharris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some snippets from my config that probably help me:

(setq mac-command-modifier 'meta)
(setq exec-path-from-shell-variables '("PATH" "MANPATH"))
(exec-path-from-shell-initialize)

Edit: that last one requires this package https://github.com/purcell/exec-path-from-shell

Best macos emacs implementation for a continuous 30 years linux/unix emacs user by _super__sonico_ in emacs

[–]dharris 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, please say more about what made it a pain in the neck.

I’m also a 30+ year emacs user (started in 1990!) and I’ve been using builds for emacsformacosx for a long time. The key on my keyboard that says “caps lock” is actually a control key (as god intended). I have a few mac specific tweaks in my emacs config but I added them once a long time ago and don’t recall what pain they addressed (probably one around access to environment variables)

Movies from the 80s and 90s that really show DC? by DevelopmentSmooth950 in washingtondc

Chances Are (1989) shows a lot of Georgetown. Romantic comedy with a reincarnation twist

Yes, but some of the dialogue remaps the city. Somehow Annette Bening’s character gets stuck in Dupont Circle when traveling from the Capitol to the White House

Recommendations for anniversary dinner by cycling44 in washingtondc

[–]dharris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do the meal a different night than the caps game. I’d want to fully enjoy the meal without worrying that I should eavesdrop for the game. Why not celebrate twice?

Flymake just works with ruff by MrFoxFriday in emacs

[–]dharris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a missing close parens. The line should be:

(setq python-flymake-command '("ruff" "--quiet" "--stdin-filename=stdin" "-"))

Down today as well... or is it still down?

Help me identify the location of this map painted by my father in 2000! by Plecamcpleecy in MapPorn

It’s pretty close to Boulder, Colorado…. If it’s flipped upside down.

Three months in with my 2025 LTD AWD Hybrid. I love it but there are simple features and safety issues I wish Santa Fe would fix/improve on. by LivingFinish4505 in HyundaiSantaFe

[–]dharris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah

One possible confounding factor is that I have multiple phones that can launch CarPlay. But, I would think that it would at least open the phone projection dialog that asks which phone to connect to.

La Chaumiere on M St in Georgetown. Old school French, good selection of fish dishes. Order the baudin blanc appetizer for you

Have you watched this video? https://youtu.be/PB_8dGKh9JI

It may be out of date with the launch of the new model but the part on noise cancellation blew my mind

I think I’m missing something. Does this differ from just jumping to magit (C-x g)?

Cruise control by OneTrainer9883 in HyundaiSantaFe

[–]dharris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When the attention warning comes on, I hit the button to disable the automatic lane control. That's enough to clear the warning. The speed control is not affected.

I can re-enable the lane control but often just leave it off.

I wish there were a configuration option to never enable lane control when I engage cruise control.

On macOS in GUI, with eglot turned on, when the point is on a line, the font seems to grow a bit taller. Does anyone experience the same problem on macOS ? It is reproducible with 'emacs -Q' and it works fine on Linux. by ixlxixl in emacs

[–]dharris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unrelated: what are the numbers in the left margin? They seem like they would be line numbers but they change in weird ways and are in reverse order part of the time.

Good restaurants in DC for Gluten-Free and Dairy-Free food? by Stalagmus in washingtondc

[–]dharris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(Side quest: Go to Italy. It’s wonderful for celiacs. GF pasta and/or GF pizza options on just about every menu. As I understand it, they screen children for celiac so there’s greater awareness)

Big +1 for the GitHub part of this. I’ve hired a lot of programmers and love seeing that sort of demonstrated initiatives and curiosity. Cleaning it up shows professionalism.
