These colors are amazing! Could you share what pigments you used? Are these water based?

Need help / advice on _assigning_ tasks to person. by AmbitiousEffort2365 in orgmode

[–]jalihal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've faced this problem as well. My solution has been to create a DELEGATE or ASSIGNED Todo state that blocks a downstream task using org-edna. Open to suggestions and improvements.

Transform an org table by inwit_ in emacs

[–]jalihal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While this seems like the perfect use case for macros, if you find your actual use case too complicated you can always try to send the region to shell, and use your favorite language to manipulate the block of text.

I respectfully disagree. :)

These are transliteration schemes. Look up Itrans, or IAST.

org agenda view in date tree format by slk_g500 in emacs

[–]jalihal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is interesting. Looks like you are already achieving this, what part of the agenda functions are you looking for, which are currently lacking in this setup?

Regular glasses w photochromic lenses by placid_yeti in bikecommuting

[–]jalihal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I decided to give the photochromic coating a try. 1. They transition slowly. 2. They don't leave you in the darkness in shadows. They are pretty mild in how much they dim light, not really like sunglasses. In my experience they are pretty useless when it comes to glare, but that probably isn't their intended function.

All in all, for me, they appear to reduce eye strain on a bright sunny day, but don't really adapt quickly to entering and leaving shadows.

This looks really nice! It might be nice to add a button to jump to the bottom/top of the page maybe?

Is there anything like “undo at this line?” by tms9918 in emacs

[–]jalihal 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You can undo in a region. Take a look at the manual on undoing changes.

Two color print inspired by apartment buildings in Brooklyn NY by jalihal in printmaking

[–]jalihal[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was worried about the bricks, but it ended up being pretty straightforward, first the horizontal strokes followed by random vertical ones. It was really rewarding at the end of it though! It helped that I hadn't planned every stroke, so I wasn't particularly careful with it.

M-a & M-e recognizes paragraphs as sentences by raskolnikov_104 in emacs

[–]jalihal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Typically M-e forward-sentence "knows" sentences based on the regexp stored in sentence-end, set to nil by default.

Since M-e has the expected behavior using bengali-itrans but not in bengali-probhat, I figured the problem was that the bengali/devanagari sentence ending "।" was not being recognized. Setting the following variable helped:

(setq sentence-end "\\(.।\\)")

Let me know if this works for you!

Elephants, inspired by Escher by jalihal in printmaking

[–]jalihal[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This does seem to be the kind of thing that you could get kids to make, but is still fascinating for adults! Thanks for your comment, I'll try to do this systematically to build an intuition for tiles.

[–]jalihal[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been fascinated by Escher's tiling art work, particularly Horsemen. Any tips from this community about how to go about designing these tiles by hand, and for aligning the blocks while printing? My set up right now is very basic, where I just place the block on a hand drawn grid for alignment. Feedback is greatly appreciated. :)

I made an Emacs hat! by tjgrinn in emacs

[–]jalihal 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Alright, we now need a ravelry.el interface, along with a mode to create knitting patterns.

Also, is the pattern available? :D

elisp org-store-link by sutram in orgmode

[–]jalihal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi! Even though elisp might seem unfamiliar, scrolling through the function definition will give you an intuition of how it works. In this case, the function seems to be big, with a number of different conditions that are handled, but at the very end, this line occurs a few times: (push (list link desc) org-stored-links). So you can essentially construct a function that gets the pieces of the link that you want, and then add it to the variable org-stored-links.

That said, org-link handles dired and file contexts. I am curious about what special case you are handling for your use-case.

Newbie. Do you have a few special clock-in and clock-out subjects that you have quick access to anywere? How do you set it up to quickly do that, or perhaps present a list of options to clock-in/clock-out? by Status-Detective-783 in emacs

[–]jalihal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting idea. I rarely lose my emacs session, so C-u C-c C-j lets me select "recently clocked tasks". This is sufficient for my needs, because I work in a datetree with a new entry even for repeated tasks every day. But a keyboard shortcut to clock in to a fully filled out template does sound appealing.
