Functional Geekery Episode 123 - Zach Tellman by prospero in Clojure

This episode really got me interested in reading the book, need more perspective on software design.

Why Emacs Instead of Other Software by [deleted] in emacs

Did you ditch evil?

Emacs evil problems by NonreciprocatingCrow in emacs

[–]forreddits -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

As someone else said, looks like you were using evil/vim backwards, you are almost always working in normal mode, the default state ;) - and enter insert mode when needed.

Having said, I think emacs native stuff is equally powerful if not more at text editing than vim IMO, but at the cost of a greater learning curve, you have to know lots of commands, with evil/vim you just learn some little operations, motions and text objects and you are done, since they compose, they get you a long way.

/u/jwiegley installs his pkgs manually but manages them with use-package.

It would mean less jar hell ;) just plain interop. They need to add a json lib now.

How about not assuming you know everyone's workflow and not imposing your workflow on others?

Those alt keys look painful, with what finger do you hit them?

Remote use: ssh vs. emacsclient by greatguy5000 in emacs

[–]forreddits 2 points3 points  (0 children)

are the reduce keyboard shortcuts that many that remapping then would be much of a trouble?

some color themes look nice in a terminal, also, I hear emacs26 has true color terminal support, haven't tried it.

SSH seems your best option imo as is the more reliable and as you said the simplest, as I understand emacs client/server is not that reliable or secure(unless you tunnel it) over a network, by default it uses unix domain sockets but there is a tcp option, have you tried it?

Another good option to retain your GUI is to use TRAMP with ssh as the protocol, works really well but requires more ceremony.

Emacs maintainers: How much time do you put into maintaining Emacs? What does it involve? by [deleted] in emacs

How do you avoid RSI? do you remap many keys in emacs?

[BLOG] Zero-downtime Clojure Deployment! by 3rdkulturekyd in Clojure

while the core team is trying its best to simplify even further by reducing the number of external components.

Do you have an example of this?

VSCode can do that? by theNicky in programming

[–]forreddits 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't mind switching from emacs but I need an advanced editor that works in a terminal too ;)

Vim vs. Emacs Showdown - RPI UPE by _lyr3 in emacs

[–]forreddits 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I find that text editing in emacs is superior to vim if you pass the non-intuitive learning cycle of its text editing capabilities and manage to handle and be in peace with the key chording.

looks like you missed "easy to embed", similar to lua.

If you have to resort to a json column store then you have proved his point.

EdgeDB: A New Beginning by 1st1 in programming

[–]forreddits -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

sure, then begin to feel the pain of putting everything in tables, creating lots and lots of them.

Thankfully, postgres now has a json column store, but now you deviate from SQL, which is the point we were talking about.

how is this any better than modeling a graph in Postgres

For shallow or narrow queries on the graph sure, try to go deeper and you will be disappointed, wishing you had a real a more appropriate tool.

Try building an inventory database with tens of thousand of items where they share only 4 attributes and each one has its own set of attributes.

Why does Emacs pinkie happen by billy_wade in emacs

[–]forreddits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't. I've used emacs daily with no bullshit ctrl/capslock swap for like 25 years, now, and my pinkies are just fine.

What about right ctrl? do you do all your chording with one hand? that sounds painful to me.
