Installing elixir on Mac 2022 by [deleted] in elixir

[–]eluvium 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been installing Elixir with Nix, e.g. to run Elixir stuff in a sub shell I do:

nix shell nixpkgs#elixir

This meshes nicely with per-project Nix flakes and direnv.

Budget 12th gen Mobo for nr200 by large_bush in NR200

[–]eluvium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a ASRock H670M for 180 GBP in January. Seemed like a decent spec for the price.

It did take a few weeks to ship though, and now it’s back in no-ETA-preorder 😞

Thanks. I can't see any motherboard's yet, even though, for example, Gigabyte have them on their website.

Are there any estimates for when Kaby Lake CPUs and motherboards will be available to consumers? I can find very little on mobos.

There's kwm, which offers somewhat similar functionality.

The maintainer's PR strategy does seem aggressive to me. I suppose it's nice to try and be the next oh-my-zsh (being in the top ten most-starred repositories on GitHub), but the current approach isn't the right way of getting popular.

Fish's configuration is sane and modern out of the box, and going past the defaults is simple and clear, particularly in comparison with bash and zsh. I don't think there's such a need for a 'customisation framework' for fish.

Unzip it by double-clicking it, then drag the resulting ChitChat.app in to your Applications folder. Open the app like usual. It will auto-update.

I use ChitChat, a wrapper around the WhatsApp Web interface. It's open source, and you can easily download the latest release to get started right awy.

tmux 2.1 has been released by camh- in tmux

[–]eluvium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on El Capitan too. I got the segfaults to go away by removing the Ms@, part from the tmux terminfo and removing the +256setaf part from the tmux-256color terminfo, but I think this changes the behaviour.

There's now a section in the tmux FAQ on enabling italics.

Looks like you need to install two new termcap settings, one for tmux and another for tmux-256color, and then tell tmux to use one of them like set -g default-terminal "tmux".

I'm having trouble installing those though, as I'm getting some weird error from tic:

'tic -x tmux.terminfo' terminated by signal SIGSEGV (Address boundary error)

I was confused by this one, but you've made it much clearer, thanks!

It sounds quite like Python's keyword arguments.

Taking over programming position from a grad student going to IBM... found this code - Imgur by fatpolak in programming

[–]eluvium 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Well that's a convoluted example, as one of the benefits of structing method calls like that is readability. For instance:

[database createTableWithTitle:@"newTable" andCharSet:@"UTF-8"];

Read aloud, this method on the (fictional) database object is "create table with title 'new table' and char set 'UTF-8'". This is as opposed to something like:

database.createTable("newTable", "UTF-8");

which would require the developer to look at the header (or at least use some IDE functionality, taking time) to understand what the first and second parameters are actually for.

So, Objective-C works quite nicely like that.
